Egyptians prepare their galley and fight on the banks of River Nile. Their superior horses and chariots take the Egyptians by storm and war becomes inevitable. But then, the Hyksos (kingdom of ancient Syria) attack Egypt. Lostris becomes queen and in time, pregnant. On the counsel of one of his trusted aide, he agrees to marry Lostris in the hope that he may beget a son. He longs for an heir to succeed his kingdom. Pharaoh Mamose, the king of Egypt is an un-happy man. The story occurs in 1780 BC during one of the critical turning points of Egyptian history. The chief archaeologist approached Wilbur Smith to convert these scrolls into a novel so that this incredible story can reach a wider audience. In it was an extra-ordinary story, almost un-believable. They contained numerous papyrus scrolls (used by Egyptians as paper). When she pressed it, the wall opened and 10 jars were found. After 3 weeks of search, one of the archaeologists spotted a small button carefully hidden in one of the walls. The archaeologists were stunned by the murals on the tomb walls, but could not decipher who the queen or what her story was. On 5th January 1988, a rare Egyptian tomb was discovered. I could feel the division in her heart, the need to hold onto the past, yet there was a real desire to move forward with the present, looking forward to the future. When she meets Head Counselor Perry, she’s even more confused. Especially not where matters of the heart are concerned, one of the biggest reasons she’s hiding away at Camp. You see so much of who she’d been at their age, and you also see the growth she’s had as an adult, yet she hasn’t completely let go of that girl from long ago. I really enjoyed the relationship dynamics portrayed between Gigi and the campers. From the beginning, we get to learn a lot about Gigi Goldstein, and the backstory that leads her into wanting to become a camp counselor at the same place she used to camp at, Camp Chinooka, when she was a teen. After finishing the first one, One S’more Summer, it would have been difficult not to continue on and read the other two in the series. I enjoyed reading all three books in Beth Merlin’s The Campfire Series. Amid the lost memories, painful memories and false memories is a compelling read that will leave you with questions – even after the ending!įern loves working at a library but takes care not to divert from her regular routine or get overstimulated because she has a sensory processing disorder. The characters have many issues to deal with – from Tully’s shoplifting habit and Heather’s traumatic background to the reason behind Rachel’s reluctance to date. Not only is she around their age, he is still technically married to their mum Pam who has dementia.įrom the explosive wedding opening narrated by a mystery guest, this book hooked me right in. Tully and Rachel are not impressed when their doctor father tells them that he is marrying his new girlfriend, Heather. It is rare for me to read a book where surprise after surprise unfolds every few chapters so that’s why this one impressed me so much. This was a gripping read which kept me up well past my bedtime. However, this time he was unable to save the woman but the story he tells the police doesn’t match what Pippa saw. The Drop is a suicide spot and Gabe has become a local hero for talking down seven people. Pippa has recently moved to a cliffside cottage in Portsea with husband Gabe and daughters Freya and Asha. So I changed my topic to disturbances in visual acuity. When we returned in 1958, Japan had changed its agricultural practices, and the medical problem was gone. My project was to be on a form of parasitism that caused 10% eosinophilia in 1 out of 4 Hiroshima children in 1955. We finished in Hiroshima on schedule and soon after had a full clinic in Nagasaki. Within 2 weeks, we were seeing 40 patients a day in the clinic. At least one of them, Masanori Otake, is still at RERF, where he built a career in biostatistics. We quickly recruited an excellent staff of Japanese pediatricians, nurses, psychometric testers, and patient contactors. From left: Jim Neel, and dentists Jerry D Niswander and Chokudo Sujaku. Morning review of the previous day’s medical charts for the Child Health Survey, 1958. I have only read a handful of Biblical Fiction novels in my lifetime, but everytime I do, I fall more in love with this genre. This was my first Connilyn Cossette book and I can promise you it will not be my last. Ronen's attempts to charm Eliora into revealing the location of the Ark lead them in unexpected directions, as they must battle betrayal and fear to help establish Israel's leadership for a better future.Ĭan I please rate this book a million stars? □□ But Ronen never expected that the Philistine girl he rescued years ago would now be part of the very family he's tasked to deceive. Under the guise of gathering Hebrews to worship together for the festivals, Levite musician Ronen has been sent by his uncle to find where the Ark has been hidden and steal it back. Meanwhile, a faction of discontent Hebrews finds Kiryat-Yearim to be an unfit resting place and believes that the sacred vessel should be in the hands of the priests who mean to restore the Holy of Holies in a new location. Though they both were lovingly enfolded into a Levite family that guards the Ark, Eliora can't stop feeling like she doesn't belong. As they fight for the soul of Israel, will they find healing for their own?Įight years ago, after the Philistines surrendered the stolen Ark of the Covenant back to the Israelites, Eliora and her brother left their Philistine homeland to follow it to the community of Kiryat-Yearim. The paper draws on photography writings, consumer research, social science research, and personal narrative to discuss the role photography plays in the construction and representation of identity. Through a selective, personal review of photography focused on the production and consumption of photographic representation I develop a framework for incorporating photography into consumer research that bears on questions of consumption, identity, and representation. Interactions between photography and identity – personal identity, gender identity, ethnic identity - are analyzed to demonstrate the functions of photography as an important site for discussing issues of representation. Photography is one stream of many in representing consumers. The purpose of this chapter is to develop ideas about photography as a consumer behavior and as a researcher practice, by examining social science research traditions, photographers, and consumer research that utilizes photography. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, and geeking. Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. Additionally, I want my men and women to be relatable. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance-passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions-and to let them evolve. Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. There's a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly. The love story-while a huge draw and constantly present-is secondary for me, because there's so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. I'm often stoically silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. What makes these allusions so startling is that Jasper is a recently freed slave in 17th-century America. On defeating the beast, he is awarded the land he liberated for "him and the issue of his bodyįorever after." So too does Jasper triumph over his spirit-monster, winning the right to carve out a home for his family. It also rings with similarities to the opening of the Scottish writer Lewis Grassic Gibbon's classic novel "Sunset Song," in which a landless traveler does battle with a Gryphon. He chains the spirit to the bottom of a lake in an episode that calls to mind Beowulf's underwater clash with Grendel's mother. In the opening pages of Calvin Baker's third novel, "Dominion," Jasper Merian battles an evil spirit to win dominion over his newly acquired land. It's been a little while since then, so I thought I'd post it here also with the hopes of persuading a few more folks to give Mr. It was published in the Raleigh News & Observer on August 13 2006.
