Caught like an animal, unable to outrun her captor, Jocie must call on her extraordinary courage-though petite in stature, she is a mile tall in her will to survive. Her struggle to escape her kidnapper leads her to Serene Valley Angus and Quarter Horse Ranch, where a promising new life may unfold...if she can survive what awaits her. Fans of The Jewelry and Cat of Serene Valley will be thrilled to welcome familiar characters as Jocie fights to reclaim the life that belongs to her.
LaRain's first novel is called 'The Jewelry', the second is 'Cat of Serene Valley' and the third is 'Jocie of Serene Valley'. The characters in these books play a significant role in this novel of a young spitfire red head named Sheila; as she joins the family at Serene Valley Angus and Quarter Horse Ranch. Sheila's love of German Shepherds started in her childhood and continues to influence her choice of careers; first as a dog handler for the military, and again, working at the 'Tanner Security Agency' in Texas helping Mike to train the security and guard dogs needed for the agency. Two months ago, Mike moved to the new training facility in Kentucky. She met her ex-boyfriend three months ago and after the first few dates decided he wasn't really what she had been looking for in a long-term relationship. He was tall and handsome, but there was just something strange about him. He had a cruel streak and he was way too possessive to suit her. Randy did not want to accept her saying 'no'. He kept calling all times of the day and night. Then about two weeks ago she was coming home to her apartment and finding dead flowers each day and the last one contained a bloody knife inside along with the dead flowers. That was the last straw for her. She couldn't go to the police, since he worked there. She finally told her boss about it. He suggested a change of scenery might be in order for a while. Kentucky looked like a good fit for her. Sheila did not have a lease and a friend wanted to move into her apartment right away so the decision to pack up and start over was an easy one for her. Having been a military brat while she was growing up, she was used to new places, however making new friends was a bit harder. So, she was a bit happier knowing there would be one friend already there at the ranch, Mike. Can her new 'family' and the dogs she trains, protect her from the madman that wants to possess her? Enticing and suspenseful, Sheila of Serene Valley is a perfect blend of romance and intrigue.

Before the advent of the great mineral revolution in the latter half of the 19th century, South Africa was a sleepy colonial backwater whose unpromising landscape was seemingly devoid of any economic potential. Yet lying just beneath the dusty surface of the land lay the richest treasure trove of gold, diamonds, platinum, coal and a host of other metals and minerals that has ever been discovered in one country. It was the discovery and exploitation of first diamonds in 1870 and then gold in 1886 that proved the catalyst to the greatest mineral revolution the world has ever known, which transformed South Africa into the supreme industrialised power on the African continent. Here for the first time is the complete history of South Africa's phenomenal mineral revolution spanning a period of more than 150 years, from its earliest commercial beginnings to the present day, incorporating seven of the major commodities that have been exploited. Digging Deep describes the establishment and unparalleled growth of mining, tracing the history of the industry from its humble beginnings where copper was first mined on a commercial basis in Namaqualand in the Cape Colony in the early 1850s, to the discovery and exploitation of the country's other major mineral commodities. This is also the story of how mining gave rise to modern South Africa and how it compelled the country to develop and progress the way in which it did. It also incorporates the stories of the visionary men - Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Beit, Barney Barnato, Sir Ernest Oppenheimer, Sammy Marks and Hans Merensky - who pioneered and shaped the development of the industry on which modern South Africa was built.

From the author of the hugely acclaimed memoir Notes from the Hyena’s Belly comes a first novel steeped in African folklore and teeming with the class, ethnic, and religious struggles of pre-colonial Africa.

A five-point plan to usher you through heartache and toward a stronger, healthier place. “I know how to kill someone and get away with it.” The words spoken by her father when Melissa was a teen haunt her to this day. Two years later, after confessing that he was the serial killer nationally known as the Happy Face Killer, Keith Jesperson was arrested for the murder of eight women. The pain, guilt, and shame that followed her father’s conviction stigmatized Melissa for years until she figured out a way to use her emotions as fuel to free herself from self-imposed limits and set out on a journey to rebuild her fragmented life. Through her work as an Emmy-nominated investigative journalist, television host, educator, and advocate, Melissa created WHOLE, a five-step program to better develop her own approach to healing: Watch the Storm, Heal Your Heart, Open Your Mind, Leverage Your Power, and Elevate Your Spirit. Among other things, she found that the commitment to your core values makes all the difference in getting unstuck; that forgiveness gives the greatest chance of making a future not defined by the past; that there is great value in vulnerability; that creativity is essential to living a full life; and that hope is the basis for everything we feel, believe, and do. In each phase of the program, Melissa inspires you to embrace your past to find wholeness within the parts of your life that you believe to be “broken.” If you are stuck in the rut of a painful experience—whether depression, trauma, pain, fear, addiction, or guilt—you will find comfort in this book’s advice, self-evaluation, and action plans. WHOLE is a powerful journey of recovery and awakening that reframes the pain experience so it can be used as a way to invite understanding, growth, and transformation into your life.
