An engaging combination of fiction, history, and biography, Caleb’s Portion provides a unique life story that reaches back through the author’s ancestral lineage and ties together two family lines. Narrated by the author’s alter ego, Lucius, the tale encourages readers to ponder the age-old question, “What is the purpose of life?” From the Roman Empire to the conquests of the Vikings to surviving the Black Death in Europe, the rich history and human passion in these stories will keep readers turning the pages! Gently woven throughout the book is the steady message of redemption in Jesus Christ, the gateway to heaven. Thought-provoking, educational, and “a rollicking good story,” Caleb’s Portion brings readers into the past and invites them to celebrate a great heritage and future.
Ursula Hegi returns with a luminous epic of a bicultural family filled with passion and aspirations, tragedy, and redemption. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Stefan Blau, whom readers will remember from Stones from the River, flees Burgdorf, a small town in Germany, and comes to America in search of the vision he has dreamed of every night. The novel closes nearly a century later with Stefan's granddaughter, Emma, and the legacy of his dream: the Wasserburg, a once-grand apartment house filled with the hidden truths of its inhabitants both past and present. The Vision of Emma Blau illustrates a fascinating picture of immigrants in America, including their dreams and disappointments, the challenges of assimilation, the frailty of language and its transcendence, the love that bonds generations and the cultural wedges that drive them apart.
A missing archive. A list of potential bloodborns. An assassin who’s finally stepping into the light. In the aftermath of Fane’s vicious games, I'm in desperate need of training. But I get more from the nephilim tasked with my training than combat skills. Between the training warehouse, the recovered portrait of Radnor Harding, and the acid-laced tales of a takeaway owner, an intricate tapestry of secrets unravels—the kind of knowledge the archangels keep me in the dark about. Like the location of the coveted Bloodborn Archive, Fane’s list of potential bloodborn vampires, one of whom lurks closer to home than anyone expected, and the identity of the mysterious assassin with the red sleeve—his grace, the ghost in the mirror. What does he want with me? And why is he coming for me now? *** This book features the worst possible audience to Violet’s love life, a Ford Capri with a mind of its own, and that fancy archangel you’ve all been waiting for. This is book 5 of Not the Same River. This series is complete and should be read in order.
Caleb loves to race, and he also loves to crash, but when he enters a race and his mother has him promise not to crash, he discovers something he likes even more.
I’m a loner, and it seems I always will be. It’s safer that way. My last girl up and left because things got too dangerous. Not that I blame her. It’d be better if I could stay away from love for good, but the pretty single mom who dances at my club has my attention, then my body, and now my heart. The world is crumbling around me, with villains gunning for my MC left and right, and the only thing that saves me is her. Scarily enough, she’s trying to save herself. An abusive relationship and a little one to deal with have her struggling to keep her head above water. Time to step in and save her. I have to. No matter what. Why? She’s the one that pulls my black soul up from the darkness and forces me to breathe again with her warmth. I just can’t help but wonder how she’ll feel when she realizes that I’m no different from the evil that’s after us. I’m more of what she doesn’t need. I wish I was a good guy and could walk away, but I’m in too deep. I’ve gone too far. No matter what or who comes our way, I’ll be ready to protect what is mine. Cause that’s what bad boys do.
