She's hoping Santiago City will be different, but deep in her heart of hearts, she knows nowhere is safe enough for someone with her secrets. When the gray-eyed man with guns and a sword shows up, claiming to be sent to protect her, Anya has to believe him. After all, she has nowhere else to go.

He's found his witch, and nothing is going to get in the way of protecting her. But being a Watcher is never as simple as it looks.

But when she finds out who he really is, he might lose her for good . . .

Growing up a freckle-faced redhead living on a Navajo reservation, Nancy has no idea what a normal childhood is. She's never been to a park, ridden her bike to get an ice cream, or swam in a community pool. She lives in a Navajo hogan, made of railroad ties, with six sides and wooden floors. From sunrise to sunset, her days are filled with mountains of red dirt and the rhythm and culture of the Navajo people—from joyful ceremonial dances and weavers and potters creating their amazing art, to a sometimes violent and darker side. Her parents' days are focused on their bustling, and sometimes struggling, Trading Post business with a never-ending flow of Native American artists, tourists traveling down Route 66, and the colorful locals of Box Canyon, New Mexico. On some nights, her dad stays at the Trading Post, pulling down the shades, and transforming the tables for slot machines and poker. As her Navajo nanny, Bertha, tucks her and her brothers in for the night, Nancy lays in bed knowing that the reservation never sleeps. The canyons, and hogans with their flickering lights inside, hold many stories and mysteries that she can't wait to discover.

An astronomer "who writes like a poet" (Wall Street Journal) gives a sweeping, "beautifully written" (Nature) inquiry into how the night sky has shaped human history For as long as humans have lived, we have lived beneath the stars. But under the glow of today’s artificial lighting, we have lost the intimacy our ancestors once shared with the cosmos. In Starborn, cosmologist Roberto Trotta reveals how stargazing has shaped the course of human civilization. The stars have served as our timekeepers, our navigators, our muses—they were once even our gods. How radically different would we be, Trotta also asks, if our ancestors had looked up to the night sky and seen… nothing? He pairs the history of our starstruck species with a dramatic alternate version, a world without stars where our understanding of science, art, and ourselves would have been radically altered. Revealing the hidden connections between astronomy and civilization, Starborn summons us to the marvelous sight that awaits us on a dark, clear night—to lose ourselves in the immeasurable vastness above.

This book is a collection of sermons, reminisces, and prayers, by a former Lay Leader of a small rural non-denominational Christian chapel or church. The author had no formal training. He was asked to fill in for the preacher who was afflicted with cancer of the larynx. The author joined another country church, this time of an organized Christian religion (United Methodist Denomination).He was greatly inspired by the minister, the religion, and the people, and decided to take the Lay Leader training offered by the Conference. Just about the time that he was certified as Lay Leader he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Since this is a neurological disease, and it affects the speech, and enunciation he could not properly preach or deliver a sermon. Hence it gave rise to this book, the written word in place of the spoken word.
