A DANGEROUS ATTRACTION When her demanding stepmother died, Ella Benoit knew just how far their fortunes had fallen, unlike her spoiled stepsisters. So she never expected the bequest from her late father. A chateau in France and the freedom to live her own life, all at once! The chateau has seen better days, but Ella knows she can put the ruined house to rights. The life-size portrait of its first owner, Jean-Daniel Girard, seems to watch her work with approval, even pleasure. With bright blue eyes, strong features, and an athlete’s body, the viscount is a tempting sight even now, more than three hundred years after his tragic death. But the more she looks at the portrait, the more convinced Ella is that she’s met Jean-Daniel before. In another life, perhaps—or maybe, as the form who haunts the halls at night, invading Ella’s dreams...

Fleeing a failed marriage and haunted by ghosts of his past, Luis Alberto Urrea jumped into his car several years ago and headed west. Driving cross-country with a cat named Rest Stop, Urrea wandered the West from one year's Spring through the next. Hiking into aspen forests where leaves "shiver and tinkle like bells" and poking alongside creeks in the Rockies, he sought solace and wisdom. In the forested mountains he learned not only the names of trees—he learned how to live. As nature opened Urrea's eyes, writing opened his heart. In journal entries that sparkle with discovery, Urrea ruminates on music, poetry, and the landscape. With wonder and spontaneity, he relates tales of marmots, geese, bears, and fellow travelers. He makes readers feel mountain air "so crisp you feel you could crunch it in your mouth" and reminds us all to experience the magic and healing of small gestures, ordinary people, and common creatures. Urrea has been heralded as one of the most talented writers of his generation. In poems, novels, and nonfiction, he has explored issues of family, race, language, and poverty with candor, compassion, and often astonishing power. Wandering Time offers his most intimate work to date, a luminous account of his own search for healing and redemption.

I can't remember exactly when my heart cried out to the most high God. We all cry out to someone in our pain. I didn't even know His name. It could have been when I was lying in our bed. I'm not even sure she and I owned this bed. I remember it was in our two-bedroom apartment. I shared the master bedroom with her, of course. I still couldn't believe we had been together almost five years. Our place was always neat and tidy yet stunk with lies, betrayal, and brokenness. Tied up in chains of brokenness, I couldn't break free. I would be content at times throughout the day, and then the emptiness would haunt me like a ghost. I was so hungry, so desperate to fill this void. Why couldn't she fill it? Why wouldn't the world fill it? I cried out on my bed, 'Someone! Anyone! Please help me!' Jill Stacey spent her early life seeking to fill the empty void in her heart. During childhood, Jill recognized just how messed up her family really was. Her father had issues while abusing her emotionally and sexually. Her mother never gave her the love she yearned for. There was always fighting and turmoil in the home. Jill didn't tell a soul; she carried her burden alone for many years. Jill then began to look for older women to meet her needs. It started out innocently. She was just looking for a mother figure, someone to hold her and love her. Then she began to seek an escape from the dysfunction. Drugs and alcohol provided this. And as she grew up, Jill's quest for love changed—she realized she was a homosexual. Soon her world, one filled with unhealthy relationships, addictions, and idolatry, spiraled out of control. At rock bottom, there was hope. Discover how God healed and restored Jill's life and made her Cinderella Dream come true. He can do the same for you.
