After a global apocalypse, a young woman fights for survival against the savage land the world has become. Shattered, torn, and inhabited not only by the infected but the most notorious criminals that now run free, the world is against her every step of the way. But she will fight until the end. It happened in a moment. A seemingly innocent cure for the common cold suddenly mutates, nearly destroying the world and killing 3/4 of the population; many of the remaining people are turned into Hybrids, veined creatures that hunt the dwindling number of survivors. Freed from their prisons, the criminals take it upon themselves to destroy the remaining survivors, angered at the way they were treated in the past. Sparrow Jacobs manages to survive the outbreak, traveling on her own after her family perishes; she bands together with fellow survivors and helps them to fight the infected and the criminals roaming about. However, when a cure is rumored to exist, she must risk her life to retrieve it, as the leader of the criminal population holds a personal grudge against Sparrow. The reformation of the Earth or the complete collapse of everything everyone has held on to is up to her.

The shattering sound of the machine gun seemed to tear into Mohamed's heart. Tears watered his eyes, and he covered his mouth as if to control his urge to vomit. He bowed his head and walked away. He vowed that he would never again play a part in such a ridiculous charade. Mohamed Jama Adam was able to overcome the desolate poverty of his childhood, but will he be able to overcome the oppression of corrupt government leaders? As a lawyer specializing in corporate law, Mohamed became suspicious when he was assigned to an ambiguous government case. He became even more suspicious when he discovered that he had no time to prepare, no time to gather witnesses, and no time to consult with his clients-six former government officials charged with treason against a brutal dictator. With a great desire to improve conditions in the leadership of his country, Mohamed began publishing an anonymous newsletter, fittingly titled Nuovo Orizzonte, or New Horizon. Just as each new day dawns beyond the eastern horizon, Mohamed dreamed of a new beginning for his homeland. For this dream, he was rewarded by being incarcerated in the top secret, maximum security prison in Lanta Bur. By an absolute miracle, after several years of incarceration, Mohamed manages to escape. It is then that he is confronted with a deteriorated homeland and must decide whether or not he has the courage to fight for his country, his love. Based on actual events, Resurrection at Lanta Bur is a powerful story of love and faith, of hate and betrayal.

“Every time we raise our voices, we hear echoes.” Jo-Anne Elder, from the Foreword Through short stories, journal entries and poetry, the women in Voices and Echoes explore the changing landscape of their spiritual lives. Experienced writers such as Lorna Crozier, Di Brandt and Ann Copeland, as well as strong new voices, appear to speak to each other as they draw from a wealth of personal resources to find a way to face life’s questions and discover meaning in their lives. There is something familiar about these stories and poems — they echo those we’ve heard before and those we’ve half forgotten. Whether they search for a voice in a world where men monopolize or journey into painful memories to free the self from the past, they do not despair, they do not end. Individual entries become the whole story — an unending story of rebirth and reaffirmation. The book begins with an illuminating foreword that introduces readers to the cultural and philosophical background of many of the stories, and concludes with the reflections of scholars, writers and artists that are intended to provoke further discussion.
Every existence has its pulse points," writes Ted Leeson in this latest book, "those places where life rises somehow closer to the surface and makes itself more keenly felt. Spring creeks have been mine." Jerusalem Creek is an exploration into the unique landscape of the "driftless area" in southwest Wisconsin, "a geography of small concealments"-of coves and hollows, oak groves and shady bends, winding brooks and trout. "It is not a landscape that you hike up, or climb down into, or stand out looking upon; it is one that you slip inside of," and this book presents the view from within. Leeson reflects on waters and people, and the experiences and ideas that shaped his understanding of spring creek country. By turns thoughtful and hilarious, passionate and wry, he journeys into the special charms of small-scale waters and pastoral spaces; the nature of meandering trout streams and fishermen; ruminations on dairy cows, honeybees, and the midwestern character; family and angling companions; Amish farmsteads; the memory of a missing photograph; the equivocal dream of owning a trout stream; the ways in which the past endures in the present. Layered and overlapping, like the limestone geology of driftless country, the meditations in this book cumulatively tell the story of how we create the places we love, and how they in turn create us. Jerusalem Creek is a wise, poignant, and haunting book about those places that remain with us long after we've left them.
