Abrazo


Book Description

Lillian Prescott is immediately drawn to the chiseled good looks of her daughters ballroom dance instructor, although she cant help but compare the worldly Russian Aras Rickus to her late husband. Lillian struggles with her growing desire and tries to ignore the fantasies of Aras that now haunt her nightly--but its a losing battle. When she meets Arass wife, Velna, Lillian realizes the stirring of desire within her is plagued by not only reality but also morality. Determined to hold true to her values and set herself apart from Velnas oddly imposing friendship, Lillian concedes her feelings toward Aras are nothing more than a crush and does her best to move on before anyone gets hurt. The more Aras dances in front of her, though, the harder it becomes for Lillian to deny the truth she does not want to believe. Then, suddenly, someone really does get hurt: her beloved Aras. When his world threatens to go dark forever, Lillian cant help but succumb to her overwhelming need to care for him, drawing her intimately closer to her fantasies and a man who reminds her what it feels like to love again.

The Poetry and Music of Joaquín Sabina


Book Description

The Poetry and Music of Joaquín Sabina: An Angel with Black Wings is a thoroughly researched exploration of the life, music, and song lyrics of the celebrated Spanish singer-songwriter Joaquín Sabina. Often called "the Spanish Dylan," Sabina has established his own highly poetic space over the course of his forty-plus years as a recording artist. Using selected song lyrics from his fifteen studio and three major live albums, Daniel J. Nappo analyzes Sabina's use of antithesis, simile, metaphor, synesthesia, rhyme, and other rhetorical and poetic devices. Nappo also devotes a chapter to Sabina's ability as a narrator and concludes the book with a comparison of Sabina's best work with that of the American singer-songwriter and Nobel laureate, Bob Dylan.

Community of the Transfiguration


Book Description

In the 1930s, German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer anticipated the restoration of the church after the coming second world war through a new kind of monasticism, a way of life of uncompromising adherence to the Sermon on the Mount in imitation of Christ. Since then, the renewal of Christian monasticism has become a great spiritual movement. Imbued with a love for God and neighbor, and with a healthy self-love, people are going to monasteries to deepen their relationship with God, to pray, and to find peace. While some monastic institutions are suffering a decline in traditional vocations, many Christians are exploring monastic lifestyles. This book introduces The Community of the Transfiguration in Australia, the story of a new monastic community and an inspiring source of hope for the world at another time of spiritual, social, and ecological crisis.

Blood Line


Book Description

When gang warfare claims his cousin, Detective Wager seeks justice There was a time in Denver when a child’s murder was a tragedy, but now that gangs have taken hold of the city, teenage deaths are sickeningly routine. As far as homicide detective Gabriel Wager can tell, the latest victim, a thirteen-year-old boy, was a good kid, with no affiliation to any local gang. But in gangland, even innocents have a way of becoming targets. As he investigates the boy’s murder, Wager’s aunt asks him to speak to her son Julio, a teenager who’s been cutting class and quit his after-school construction job. They fail to connect, and a few days later Julio is found executed in the same style as the previous boy, shot in the back of the head. As he tries to unravel the dual mystery, Wager finds himself deep in a callous world, where even children can be killers.
