This is a true story of the death of a child through homicide. It is about a mother's healing journey and the pivotal decisions she had to make in order to survive her son's death. It is about betrayal, and a shocking verdict but it's also about love, courage, and faith. It is hope for survival and inspiration for revival for those that are suffering a similar loss. "Unforgettable. The layers of grief are too exquisite for words but Sandra finds a way to the depth of her soul and describes the torment with such clarity ... you will not soon forget. Her haunting dreams will stay with you long after you have finished this extraordinary story of love, betrayal, courage, and hope. "Tiers of Sorrow" is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful true stories you will ever read." -Wayne Cooper, Author and Publisher / Levita Media "Sandra is on a mission. After the violent death of her young adult son, she has armed herself with weapons from another world. Sandra has discovered the keys to hope and wellbeing but not until after experiencing utter grief and pain herself. A wounded healer knows how to reach the hurting. She has traveled the journey of deep sorrow and injustice and has come through it with startling understanding and strength. I recommend this book to the professionals who help crime victims and their families but, mostly, this story has the power to minister to anyone who suffers the loss of a loved one from a shooting, stabbing, or violent crime." -Margaret Montreuil, Speaker and Author, God in Sandals, God with Us, His Kingdome Come, and coming soon, Come & See "Deeply moving yet chilling. Tiers of Sorrow compels the reader to set aside petty, insignificant differences with loved ones and cherish every moment as the gift it is. It demonstrates courage in the face of heart wrenching circumstances that inspires hope us all." -M. Ann Bruce, Author, Director, Producer

A 2015 William C. Morris YA Debut Award Finalist Magical realism, lyrical prose, and the pain and passion of human love haunt this hypnotic generational saga. Foolish love appears to be the Roux family birthright, an ominous forecast for its most recent progeny, Ava Lavender. Ava — in all other ways a normal girl — is born with the wings of a bird. In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, sixteen-year old Ava ventures into the wider world, ill-prepared for what she might discover and naive to the twisted motives of others. Others like the pious Nathaniel Sorrows, who mistakes Ava for an angel and whose obsession with her grows until the night of the summer solstice celebration. That night, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air, and Ava’s quest and her family’s saga build to a devastating crescendo. First-time author Leslye Walton has constructed a layered and unforgettable mythology of what it means to be born with hearts that are tragically, exquisitely human.

This monograph explores the structure and rhetoric of the book of Isaiah. Its thesis is twofold. First, the book of Isaiah best manifests its structural unity, thematic choherence and rhetorical emphasis when read as an exemplar of prophetic covenant disputation. Second, the principal arrangement of the book comprises seven asymmetrical concentric sections, each made up of complex (triadic and quadratic) framing patterns. They are: an exordium (1.1, 2-5), two threats of judgment (2.6-21; 3.1-4.1), two programmes for the punishment and restoration of Zion and the nations (4.2-11.16; 13.1-39.8), an exoneration of Yahweh (40.1-54.17), and an appeal for covenant reconciliation (55.1-66.24).
