Book Description
Alva is furious. She is being banished because she almost had her beloved foster brother, Torben, and his future bride, Eislyn, murdered. Now she is condemned, by her family, to live as a widower’s new wife high in the mountains for the rest of her life. However, once she has lived there for a short time, she realizes the emotions she had experienced in the past had been selfish and immature, not a true lasting love. Repentant at last, she finds forgiveness and peace with God. Then tragedy strikes and Alva’s life is shattered once more. She is forced to face her family again for the welfare of her adopted children. Although Alva is now a changed woman, will that be evident to her family? Will they forgive her or will she forever bear the guilt and shame of her sin? On the road to forgiveness and freedom Alva has many trials, including attacks by wild animals, and an accidental fire that could have ended her life. Each time something terrible happens she wonders if she will ever be free of the consequences of her past. It takes many months, and a final test of her faith, before she is fully forgiven; freed to live, and love, again.

Alva and Gunnar Myrdal in Sweden and America, 1898–1945
Author: Walter A. Jackson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000381269
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Alva and Gunnar Myrdal are the only couple ever awarded Nobel prizes as individuals: Gunnar won the prize in Economics in 1974, and Alva won the Peace Prize in 1982. This dual biography examines their work as architects of the modern welfare state and probes the connections between the public and private dimensions of their lives. Drawing on their extensive personal correspondence and diaries between their electrifying first meeting in 1919 and their protracted marital crisis in the early 1940s, this book presents the psychologist and the economist as they sought to combine love and work in an equal partnership. Alva and Gunnar simultaneously experimented with a new kind of intimate relationship and designed the social supports necessary for women both to bear and raise children and to contribute their talents and energies to society. Like all genuine revolutionaries, they struggled to free themselves from the burdens of their upbringings; to evaluate their own actions with what they called "unsparing honesty," and to test their policy recommendations in practice, measuring everything against the values they shared.

Pages : 326
Book Description
All my life I've been told by my mother I'm promised in marriage to a king from another world. Understandably no one believed her and I grew up and let my mother's "delusion" go in an attempt at a normal life. However, soon after I've gotten engaged to my boyfriend, a darkly handsome and mysterious King Alvar appears and tells me the time has come for me to marry him and become his queen. I find myself whisked away to Alvar's strange world, a fantastical land shrouded by a dark past of curses, monsters, and dangerous secrets. But marrying a man I barely know and adapting to a strange new world is nothing compared to learning that the fates of both my world and Alvar's rest on MY shoulders.
