WHAT NEXT, LORD? Torn about her future, gospel singer Rachel Duke had asked God to send some sort of sign to guide her on a new path. Enter Paul McCoy, a world-weary doctor who had found his way back home from striferidden Kosovo, but not back to his faith…. Paul enjoyed Rachel's music, but he wasn't receptive to the message—or to the feelings she aroused in him. He knew it would take something greater than medical expertise, or faith—or even hope—to heal his jaded heart. It would take a miracle…something he never expected to find with Rachel.

The tranquillity of Nantucket Island offered poor but proud Lucie McNeil refuge, a place to dream about a better life. Her quiet existence as companion to an elderly couple was a blessing for the tragedy-haunted Irish immigrant. But all that changed when her employers' handsome, elegantly attired son stepped ashore. For she recognized him instantly as the owner of the Boston factory where a terrible fire had scarred her forever. She knew she should hate Gabriel Hunter, yet she could not. She found herself drawn to the caring soul she sensed behind the ruthless façade he showed the world. And she could not help dreaming that such different people— a poor servant girl and a wealthy merchant prince—might somehow make a life together.

Category : German fiction

Book Description
Begun in 1916, first published in 1924, this an almost poetic utopian work. About one hundred women and a twelve-year-old boy shipwrecked from a luxury liner on an unknown South Sea island establish a matriarchal society, a paradise of natural existence. In this society children are regarded as of divine origin, and there is a taboo on even considering who the father of any given child may be. The island religion resembles ancient Greek mythology but with Hindu and Buddhist aspects. As the male children grow up, they are exiled to the other side of the island where they develop a different kind of society and even establish contact with the outside world. Eventually, the matriarchal rule is ended by a revolt of the men, who bring society back to the more usual 'civilized' aspects and end this temporary, utopian, ideal world.
