What she can’t remember could ruin her life. The Mirror Worlds are but dull reflections of the True World, where magic and technology blend together... On the True World, Belinda Loring has known from childhood that she must Bond with the son of another noble First Family. Uniting the families ensures hers will hold onto its powerful position, and so she’s always pushed down the tender feelings she has for her best friend—gorgeous, steadfast Demian, who isn’t noble. But when the ceremonial magic goes disastrously wrong, Belinda becomes a national disgrace. Scorned as Broken, she turns to Demian for help getting revenge on the man who ruined her: the radical Malachi. But the seeds of Malachi’s murderous planslie buried in Belinda’s past, in the dark days of her kidnapping—a period of which she has no memory. And Demian may hold the key to recovering all that she’s lost—and saving the worlds. The Otherselves series is best enjoyed in order.

*#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER *Winner, Kobo Emerging Writer Prize Nonfiction *Winner, Indigenous Voices Awards *Winner, High Plains Book Awards *Finalist, CBC Canada Reads *A Globe and Mail Book of the Year *An Indigo Book of the Year *A CBC Best Canadian Nonfiction Book of the Year In this extraordinary and inspiring debut memoir, Jesse Thistle, once a high school dropout and now a rising Indigenous scholar, chronicles his life on the streets and how he overcame trauma and addiction to discover the truth about who he is. If I can just make it to the next minute...then I might have a chance to live; I might have a chance to be something more than just a struggling crackhead. From the Ashes is a remarkable memoir about hope and resilience, and a revelatory look into the life of a Métis-Cree man who refused to give up. Abandoned by his parents as a toddler, Jesse Thistle briefly found himself in the foster-care system with his two brothers, cut off from all they had known. Eventually the children landed in the home of their paternal grandparents, whose tough-love attitudes quickly resulted in conflicts. Throughout it all, the ghost of Jesse’s drug-addicted father haunted the halls of the house and the memories of every family member. Struggling with all that had happened, Jesse succumbed to a self-destructive cycle of drug and alcohol addiction and petty crime, spending more than a decade on and off the streets, often homeless. Finally, he realized he would die unless he turned his life around. In this heartwarming and heart-wrenching memoir, Jesse Thistle writes honestly and fearlessly about his painful past, the abuse he endured, and how he uncovered the truth about his parents. Through sheer perseverance and education—and newfound love—he found his way back into the circle of his Indigenous culture and family. An eloquent exploration of the impact of prejudice and racism, From the Ashes is, in the end, about how love and support can help us find happiness despite the odds.

"The Book of Job: Seeing God through the Ashes" takes a fresh perspective on the Book of Job. It's definitely not your typical grin-and-bear-it, endurance message. Instead, it is based on what James 5:11 tells us we should glean from God's answer. We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. (James 5:11, NASB) In Job, God is incrementally revealing that He is extremely full of visceral affection which produces acts of kindness toward people who do not deserve it. "Seeing God through the Ashes" shows step by step how God made known His compassionate and merciful character through a corrupt and broken world. Job didn't quit searching for truth when his religion failed; neither should we. He persevered through all of his desperate questioning and overwhelming depression until he found God. In the end, the revelation about the character of the Creator set his fearful heart free. Job said, "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you" (NIV). His life was forever changed. He became more than a religiously upright rule-follower; he transformed into a man of generosity, peace, and kindness. God made beauty from Ashes. This book encourages us all, like Job, to ask the deep, nagging questions that distance us from God because God wants to reveal Himself.
