She dreams of a fresh start at college, but when family tragedy strikes, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother Levi’s hockey team. Yet even as Daunis falls for Jamie, she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder, thrusting her into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug. Reluctantly, Daunis agrees to go undercover, drawing on her knowledge of chemistry and Ojibwe traditional medicine to track down the source. But the search for truth is more complicated than Daunis imagined, exposing secrets and old scars. At the same time, she grows concerned with an investigation that seems more focused on punishing the offenders than protecting the victims. Now, as the deceptions—and deaths—keep growing, Daunis must learn what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she’ll go for her community, even if it tears apart the only world she’s ever known.

Book Description

A 21st CENTURY LOVE STORY BETWEEN TWO STAR STRUCK LOVERS DESPERATELY TRYING TO BRIDGE THE SACRED AND THE PROFANE An out of luck American born French Escort-Interpreter living in France is brought into a windstorm that involves an international precious stones contraband ring in support of the Zionist Cause. This, after a young corporate lawyer's satchel is stolen that contains an envelope given to her in Venice, Italy. What starts out to be a banal theft, culminates in a murder that ultimately pits an Irish-American FBI agent and a Jewish-American CIA analyst, and the role played by both agencies since the end of World War Two. An intellectual battle is drawn between Catholicism and Judaism as to what it truly means to be God's Chosen People. Written in 2002, the present Bush Administration's wish to 'liberate' Iraq serves as backdrop in the understanding American Foreign Policy, which from he country's inception has been shaped by its singular vision of democracy and freedom. It is a tale of the non-Politically Correct underside of American-European relations and how religion has influenced this troubled alliance from its very beginnings. Has 'One World' hegemonic economic interests reawakened nationalism to the detriment of our most precious liberties, as once did the 'Terror' of the French Revolution and European imperialism prior to World War One, and Hitler and Stalin between the two World Wars? Is Islamic Fundamentalism a precursor to future mass revolts against any such hegemonic intent?

Book Description

The highly arcane "wisdom" produced by the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan is either endlessly regurgitated and recited as holy writ by his numerous acolytes, or radically dismissed as unpalatable nonsense by his equally countless detractors. Contrary to these common, strictly antagonistic yet uniformly uncritical practices, this book offers a meticulous critique of some key theoretical and clinical aspects of Lacan’s expansive oeuvre, testing their consistency, examining their implications, and investigating their significance. In nine interrelated chapters, the book highlights both the flaws and the strengths of Lacan’s ideas, in areas of investigation that are as crucial as they are contentious, within as well as outside psychoanalysis. Drawing on a vast range of source materials, including many unpublished archival documents, it teases out controversial issues such as money, organisational failure, and lighthearted, "gay" thinking, and it relies on the highest standards of scholarly excellence to develop its arguments. At the same time, the book does not presuppose any prior knowledge of Lacanian psychoanalysis on the part of the reader, but allows its readership to indulge in the joys of in-depth critical analysis, trans-disciplinary creative thinking, and persistent questioning. This book will appeal to researchers and students alike in psychoanalytic studies and philosophy, as well as all those interested in French theory and the history of ideas.
