A transcription of Lucy Peel’s wonderfully readable journal was recently discovered in her descendent’s house in Norwich, England. Sent in regular installments to her transatlantic relatives, the journal presents an intimate narrative of Lucy’s Canadian sojourn with her husband, Edmund Peel, an officer on leave from the British navy. Her daily entries begin with their departure as a young, newlywed couple from the shores of England in 1833 and end with their decision to return to the comforts of home after three and a half years of hard work as pioneer settlers. Lucy Peel’s evocative diary focuses on the semi-public world of family and community in Lower Canada’s Eastern Townships, and fulfils the same role as Susanna Moodie’s writings had for the Upper Canadian frontier. Though their perspective was from a small, privileged sector of society, these genteel women writers were sharp observers of their social and natural surroundings, and they provide valuable insights into the ideology and behaviour of the social class that dominated the Canadian colonies during the pre-Rebellion era. Women’s voices are rarely heard in the official records that comprise much of the historical archives. Lucy Peel’s intensely romantic journal reveals how crucially important domesticity was to the local British officials. Lucy Peel’s diary, like those of such counterparts as Catherine Parr Traill, also suggests that genteel women were better prepared for their role in the New World than Canadian historians have generally assumed.

She met him in a supermarket parking lot of all places... Sarai Jenkins. You can call her a "Born-Again Virgin". She has kept her heart (and body) tightly locked down and guarded, maintaining her celibacy - for ten years. But what she really wants is to love and be loved for the first time... and forever. A sharp-witted petite beauty with a successful career as a Los Angeles journalist, Sarai has a haunting secret she has never told, shrouded by a marred past she's tried to bury. Her Christian faith reshapes her complicated world, but on a hot June day RJ thrusts into that world with "handsomosity" and drawing power she can't deny. Within months Sarai has found that love she never knew could exist, and is increasingly tempted by RJ's captivating devices. Slowly pulling away from her family while falling deeper into his arms, Sarai is then rocked by a life-shattering tragedy. At the apex of guilt, regret, and fear she's never known, she holds onto RJ's enrapturing promises -- but when his meticulous mask suddenly cracks before her, she suffers the brutal consequences of loving a man she never knew. Written with powerful prose and raw emotional honesty, Love Is As Strong As Death will grip you with intrigue until the last page. Ci'Monique was a flight attendant for nine years, formerly based in Boston, New York, and Los Angeles. She wrote and illustrated the adorable children's book Have You Ever Tasted a Rainbow? before venturing into adult fiction. Born and raised in Seattle - along with three teenage years in Anchorage, Alaska, she now resides in the LA area. This is her debut novel. Visit her website at cimoniquegreen.com.

Thomas appears only four times in John's Gospel, yet despite this he is crucially important in understanding the function of the Johannine message. Dennis Sylva provides the first major study which examines the paradox that Thomas is both opposed to a dominant theme in the Fourth Gospel - the eternal life that is a gift to Jesus' followers - and yet is in support of Jesus himself. Thomas appears to have a foot on both sides of the Johannine dualistic divide. He seems to be existentially at home on one side and yet ideologically at home on the other. No other character in John's Gospel so tenaciously hold on to companionship with Jesus while just as resolutely distancing himself from Jesus' central teaching. Thomas breaks down the barriers between the disciples (those who walk in the light) and the world (those who walk in the darkness) that John takes pains to establish. Sylva's new work demonstrates the importance of Thomas in fully understanding the message of the Fourth Gospel.
