REVIVING JOY
Sylvia L. Thomson
She had to leave him or it could be the end of her. Hannah-Joy fled across the country leaving behind the comforts of her home, hiding on a small ranch in the middle of nowhere.
The McBride’s kindly let her stay as long as she helped with the children. She was grateful for their kindness and generosity but surprised to become their saving grace when tragedy ravaged their family. And then there was Bobby. Maybe she could let love into her broken heart. But if he knew who she really was, surely he would be disappointed and reject her.

NON FICTION, PHILOSOPHY, SPIRITUALITY
THE DIVINE DAUGHTER
Andrew Gilchrist
This book starts a conversation at the crossroads of art, literature, religion, and psychology. And it begins with the oldest of stories. A boy fell in love with a girl and sang her a song. Each chapter in this book charts a series of helpful symbols and sounds, drawing attention to the melodies, rhythms and tempos that make up our most common experiences. The scientific revolution gave birth to a new understanding of the relationship between observer and observed, lover and beloved. That birth has changed the song. However, we have not welcomed this new daughter into the family with a proper name or fully recognized her part in our spiritual development. With her wisdom, we too might find hope and delight in the back-and-forth journey between tradition and innovation.
