When the son she gave up for adoption returns to her, a woman confronts her past and finds love and healing in this romance from a USA Today bestseller. Sara Calhoun has a perfectly orchestrated life. Until she opens her door one morning to come face-to-face with Ryan, the son she’d loved—and given up for adoption twenty-one years ago. Sara’s memory of the night Ryan was conceived is virtually nonexistent, but the aftermath continues to haunt her. Three men went to jail after that night, but were they guilty? And which one is her son’s father? Ryan, now a police officer, believes the case is rife with inconsistencies, but the only man who can help them uncover the truth is Mark Dalton—one of the accused. Still, Sara can’t believe she feels so—secure with Mark. He’s an enigma and her worst nightmare, isn’t he? Or maybe not . . .

To whom does a father, retiring from his life as a successful entrepreneur, pass control of the business he has built? Once it would always have been his eldest son, but increasingly women are becoming involved in family firms having risen to positions of influence and leadership. Using revealing case studies from the daughters who succeeded their entrepreneur fathers in a wide variety of challenging situations, cultures and continents, Father-Daughter Succession in Family Business discusses the changes which have led to daughters gaining influence in more and more family businesses. It looks at the tensions this succession can produce between old notions of how men and women should behave, and the new style of leadership that often comes about when a woman takes the helm. This book will help consultants, business educators, and researchers, as well as those who are themselves involved in significant family managed enterprises to better understand why it can no longer be assumed in any part of the World that the first born son will take over the reins of the family business.

Israel's story as a people of God is a tale of women, men, and their children. Moving past a patriarchal reading of the Bible, Fischer presents a new interpretation of neglected biblical narratives. From a gender-balanced perspective, she reveals the political dimension and narrative continuation of ancestral stories in the Book of Ruth. Women Who Wrestled with God demonstrates the significance of women in religious history in a way that will inspire as well as inform. Chapters are: "The 'Fathers' and the Beginnings of the People– An Introduction to Israel's Ancestor's," "Sarah, Hagar, and Abraham: Scenes From a Marriage Under the Promise, " "Rebecca: A Strong Woman With a Colorless Husband," "Rachel and Leah: The Founders of the House of Israel," "Dark Sides of the Family Chronicle," "Subversive Women at the Beginnings of the People in Egypt," "Naomi and Ruth: The Unconventional Women Ancestors of the Royal House of David," and "Women Who Wrestled with God." Irmtraud Fischer is professor of Old Testament and women's studies (theology) at the University of Bonn, as well as chair of Old Testament studies at the University of Graz, Austria. President of the European Society for Women's Research in Theology, Fischer was given the 2003 Bad Herrenalber Akademie Preis.

In the heartbreaking story, The Miracle of Love, parents, Amy and Eric Yawanarajah, took their month-old child, Naveen, for what they believed was a routine medical visit after the baby contracted a cold. They heard the dreaded words that their son had a rare cardiac defect that could not be corrected. At the time, there were few known treatments for Naveen's type of congenital heart defect. The child's prognosis was he would be lucky to survive his seventh birthday! But Naveen's parents never gave up. They searched the globe until research led them to seek palliative treatment in New Zealand when Naveen was just four. Naveen's strong belief in his ability to live a long life ultimately convinced his parents to accept his choice of Perth Western Australia for his tertiary studies. It was the benevolence of the insurance system of Australia that funded the young man's many cardiac procedures. Naveen lived to age thirty-two, well beyond the lifespan projected by Australian cardiac specialists. This is the true story of a young man whose love of life and people while living with a congenital heart condition, is a miracle which will be an inspiration to many.
