Download The Cassandra Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Cassandra follows a woman who goes to work in a top secret research facility during WWII, only to be tormented by visions of what the mission will mean for humankind. Mildred Groves is an unusual young woman. Gifted and cursed with the ability to see the future, Mildred runs away from home to take a secretary position at the Hanford Research Center in the early 1940s. Hanford, a massive construction camp on the banks of the Columbia River in remote South Central Washington, exists to test and manufacture a mysterious product that will aid the war effort. Only the top generals and scientists know that this product is processed plutonium, for use in the first atomic bombs. Mildred is delighted, at first, to be part of something larger than herself after a lifetime spent as an outsider. But her new life takes a dark turn when she starts to have prophetic dreams about what will become of humankind if the project is successful. As the men she works for come closer to achieving their goals, her visions intensify to a nightmarish pitch, and she eventually risks everything to question those in power, putting her own physical and mental health in jeopardy. Inspired by the classic Greek myth, this 20th century reimagining of Cassandra's story is based on a real WWII compound that the author researched meticulously. A timely novel about patriarchy and militancy, The Cassandra uses both legend and history to look deep into man's capacity for destruction, and the resolve and compassion it takes to challenge the powerful.

Download Cassandra at the Wedding Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
I'm not, at heart, a jumper; it's not my sort of thing . . . I think I knew all the time I was sizing up the bridge that the strong possibility was I'd go home, attend my sister's wedding as invited, help hook-and-zip her into whatever she wore, take the bouquet while she received the ring, through the nose or on the finger, wherever she chose to receive it, and hold my peace when it became a question of speaking now of forever holding it.' It is the hottest June on record and the longest day of the year. Cassandra Edwards -tormented, intelligent, mordantly witty - leaves her graduate studies and her Berkeley flat to drive through the scorching heat to her family's ranch. There they are all assembled: her philosopher father, smelling sweetly of five-star Hennessy; her kind, fussy grandmother; her beloved, identical twin sister Judith, who is about to be married - unless Cassandra can help it.

Download Self-Fidelity Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Working life can feel like a never-ending masterclass on how to fit in. Comparing ourselves to others and to standards that are not our own, we strive to prove, mould and 'fix' ourselves. It's so easy to feel overwhelmed, depleted and inadequate. But what if true success and vitality flows from being who we are, not changing who we are? What if everything we need is already inside of us? What if we just need to release the things that weigh us down? This is book is for anyone who: Believes that work can be life-enhancing, not soul-destroying Is sick and tired of trying to 'fix', mould and prove themselves Wants to experience greater fulfillment, success and vitality Beneath all the layers of conditioning, under the masks and armour, we all want the same things. We want to live and work in a way that honours the truth of who we are. We want to feel seen, really seen. John Mellencamp sang, 'Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone' but it does not have to be this way. The practice of self-fidelity lifts us out of a half-dead existence to rediscover the thrill of living - through our work. This practice supports us to wake up and reconnect to our true nature and to our abundant inner natural resources. Self-Fidelity is a simple, yet powerful practice of remembrance and reconnection. We can all empower ourselves to reimagine our working lives. As we restore our faith in ourselves, we restore our faith in each other.

FBI profiler Ulysses Grove's escape to a peaceful rural retreat is shattered by a new case that thrusts him back into the harrowing world of serial killers--and a fight against evil that will take him to the edge of sanity and into the very eye of mortal danger. . . Twisted In the heart of New Orleans, a serial killer is at work. While the city struggles to rebuild, he seeks only to destroy.
