After forty-three years in the sacred space of caring for
patients, Dr. Donovan shares his observations and thoughts about
illness and healing. He believes illness serves us by acting as
life's transformative process. As such, the journey through our
illness may be precisely the very experiential journey we need to
realize our healing and ourselves more fully. After all, we don't
"get" cancer. Cancer, like any illness, is a process. We "are" the
cancer we manifest. Our cancer arises out of our own tissues and
cellular make up. To rid our self of our cancer is to rid our self
of a part of our self. Instead of thinking about illness as
something we "get," something separate from ourselves needing to be
removed or defeated, Dr. Donovan thinks we might well do better
viewing our illness as a transformational journey that must be
undertaken and completed for our healing to emerge. We can't get
rid of our selves but we can transform ourselves and our illness
provides us with that opportunity. It allows us our healing.
During his 1920s heyday, Arnold Bennett was one of Britain's most
celebrated writers. As the author of The Old Wives' Tale and
Clayhanger he was a household name, writing just as much for the
common man as London's literati. His face was plastered over
theatre hoardings and the sides of West End omnibuses. His life
represents the ultimate rags-to-riches story of a man who 'banged
on the door of Fortune like a weekly debt collector' as one of his
obituaries so vividly put it. Yet for all his success, few were
aware how cursed Bennett felt by his life-long stutter and other
debilitating character traits. In the years running up to his death
in 1931, his affairs were close to collapse as he fought a losing
battle on three fronts: with his estranged wife; with his
disenchanted mistress; and from a literary perspective with
Virginia Woolf. As the first full length biography of Bennett since
1974, the work draws on a wealth of unpublished diaries and letters
to shed new light on a personality who can be considered a 'Lost
Icon' of early Twentieth Century Britain.
A daring urban fantasy adventure through the rough roads of
Asheville perfect for fans of Jim Butcher and M.D. Massey. Magic:
To some, it's spectacle. To Jonah, it's pure profit. A shaman for
hire, Jonah can tap into his powers as easily as turning on a light
switch, but the real money is in putting on a show. And after
putting himself in debt to the Carver brothers, Asheville's version
of a mafia, in order to save his father's business, he's in need of
some real money. Then a mysterious woman makes Jonah a staggering
offer: $20,000-to find and deliver the Ledberg runestone, a
legendary artifact of Norse myth. He's suspicious of the case and
the buyer, but when the Carvers threaten Jonah's father if they
don't get their payment within the month, Jonah starts his
investigation. As he explores Asheville's seedy magical underbelly,
Jonah discovers he's not alone on the hunt. Will Jonah survive long
enough to save his father, or will his past of swindling mortals
and dodging debt collectors finally catch up with him?
