Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Living our life in a trance--blindly caught up in a life, albeit fully functional in our day to day existence--severed from our inner Self, without knowing who we truly are, is the basic theme of PRAYERS FOR NOTHING. For Harry Sanford, the introverted family man, circumstances at the Cleveland Office Building, where his accounting firm has been located since 1912, painfully unveil the amnesia of his life, as he comes to witness the hate and bigotry of homophobia, not realizing the full extent of the influences that have kept him from recognizing his true inner Self, all in an effort to keep him "normal."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For newlywed bride, Mary Wilkins, her marriage to her husband, Jack, was to be a lifelong commitment. It was 1952, the era of a thriving America, when a young, newly married White couple could assume a legitimate right to expect to live the American dream. Despite the visible but unseen stranglehold of racism, with segregation at the fore, the economy was prosperous and a White couple had every right to be optimistic about their future. It was the time of an emerging middle-class, of modern conveniences, of televisions sets and washing machines, or the inconvenient lack thereof, if you didn't have them. It was also the inception of the suburbs, taking over the landscape, where the exclusive White middle-class aspired to move to. For Mary and Jack, the trouble was, although they were a young, newly married White couple, with Jack just back from fighting in Korea, the middle-class status eluded them. Not able to land a well-paying production job at a factory, Jack has to settle for driving a taxi cab. Only able to afford cheap rent in the city of Des Moines, they move into a cheap duplex in the vicinity of "Colored Town." Having grown up destitute during the Great Depression, with only ramshackle flooring in the "shack" she grew up in, where she'd risk getting splinters in her feet, all that Mary asks for in the way of a modern convenience, something to provide comfort, to make her life better, is a carpet, so she won't get splinters in her feet if she walks across the floor barefoot. For Jack, things aren't so simple. Living next to a young Black couple in the duplex, further rankles his sense of outrage, that, as a White couple, he and Mary shouldn't have to live there in the first place. As Mary soon finds out, Jack harbors a definite antagonism towards Black people, which tends to put a strain on their marriage and makes Mary question just what the American dream is all about anyway.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In destiny, there is something beyond memory, beyond identity, beyond what we lose and suffer in this world--it is the transcendent ground of our being. Fairies of Dragon Fire is such a story of loss--loss as experienced through death, trauma and madness--and the redemptive power of connecting to our destiny. Through the purity and guidance of a winsome flower fairy named Pinky, Thom Elder, reeling from the death of his wife, Caitlin, receives the blessing of a glimpse into the Afterlife. Discovering that Caitlin was part fairy, that she possessed fairy blood, he believes the enchantment of the fairy world is fated to be his three-year-old daughter's--Annie's--heritage. And although the fairy realm is magical and wondrous, he comes to witness that it is not immune to tragedy, leaving him feeling betrayed, leading him down the path of madness. With references to Arthurian characters (namely, in the persons of Eileen and Scott McIntosh) and themes, Fairies of Dragon Fire depicts that in the end--at the end of madness in which Thom is almost blinded to his soul--there can be a heart-centered revelation of our ultimate destiny, transcending all that has been lost, beyond our broken lives.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Coming of age during the 1960's and 70's--tormented by a bullying older brother, suffering the initiation of young heartbreak, as well as unacknowledged pain from repressed memories of a sexual assault, along with the Vietnam draft hanging over his head--Bob Ryder suffers the self-defeat of academic failure but then channels his pent-up rage into an award-winning book of poetry. Despite the emotional and spiritual pain that underlies his existence, for Bob poetry heals the pathos and keeps love from disintegrating. THE TORCHLIGHT OF ANGELS depicts the indignities, abuses and heartbreak we all suffer and how we emerge on the other side of all that madness, scarred and broken, as we struggle to make something of our lives.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sissies & Soldiers is a play, a comedy, which depicts the conflict between a father and son. The father, Sarge, has recently retired from the Army, after having logged thirty years of active duty. The son, Junior, is nearing high school graduation, as well as his eighteenth birthday. His great ambition is to, then, join the Army and become a Green Beret soldier. While in the Army, Sarge only spent minimal time with his family--maybe only a couple weeks leave here and there throughout a year--the result being that Junior grew up without Sarge's guidance for the most part. The dynamics of the conflict is that, now that he's back home for good, Sarge sees that Junior has grown into a "sissy," which he sees as being totally at odds with becoming a soldier. Sarge sees that Junior has been pampered by his mother, Sweetie, who reads him bedtime stories and allows him to take naps and eat chocolate ice cream all the time. Also, Junior's maternal grandfather, Grandpa, a shell-shocked veteran of World War II, who was with the elite Darby's Rangers, presents misguided ideas of the military to Junior. Junior's sister, Sis, initially doesn't want Junior to join the Army, afraid that it will turn him into a lean, mean killing machine and that he'll lose his sweet innocence. But she changes her tune after she sees Sarge bully Junior and even assaults him, at one point. Although presented from a comic perspective, Sissies & Soldiers deals with the loss of innocence and the impact of war. This item is printed on demand.
