Mrs D is Going Within
Lotta Dann - 2017
She’s often on edge, battles to cope with the busyness and constant upheavals of life, and is eating sugar like crazy to deal with tough emotions. It’s becoming clear what people mean when they say "putting down the drink is just the beginning." The truth is, Lotta’s life-long drinking habit has left her as a fledgling emotionally. She’s slowly accepting that she needs to do some more work on herself. But what? Turn into a hippie and go all mindful and zen? Isn’t all that stuff boring, introspective, and weird? Can’t she just comfort herself with another chocolate muffin, distract herself on Instagram, and hope for the best? It would appear not. Here, Lotta outlines the practices she developed and strategies she worked on to start establishing herself as an emotionally robust woman.
Childless
Brian J. Gail - 2011
Gail's "American Tragedy in Trilogy." The reader is propelled from Manhattan boardrooms to European capitals to Middle East laboratories to Church chanceries and confessionals. Step into these pages and follow Fr. John Sweeney and the families he serves as they struggle to live their Catholic faith in a world that grows more hostile with every turn of the page. Gail throws back the veil on the architecture of the Life Sciences Revolution and its carefully planned milestones from the abortifacients pill to in-vitro fertilization to embryonic stem cell testing, and ultimately, to the very door of the Transhumanist project itself. You will see something of your own soul in these characters as they struggle to survive the great apostasy and navigate their way to the Church's promised New Springtime.
