Publisher: Partridge Publishing Singapore
ISBN: 1543765122
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
At age twenty-two, Ummu Ahmadain was in her final year of university studying biology. Nothing was supposed to stand in the way of her earning a degree—until it did. In a poignant retelling of her life story, Ummu chronicles her experiences starting with her initial diagnosis of renal disease through the associated obstacles as she struggled to stay on top of her deteriorating condition. While revealing how she witnessed the power of unconditional love and the sacrifices of a doting sister who selflessly gave up a kidney so Ummu could have a second chance at life, she testifies to the strength of the human spirit when tested to the edge of its limits, physically and emotionally, and of patience and acceptance as she learned to trust God’s mercy and love during her trials and tribulations. Not Quite the End is the inspiring true story of a woman’s incredible journey as she battled end stage renal disease, found hope during the darkest moments, and relied on God to carry her through her challenges.

Winner of the Nebula Award: “A lovely and literate exploration of the dark moment where myth and science meet” (Samuel R. Delany). When night falls over the Yucatan, the archaeologists lay down their tools. But while her colleagues relax, Elizabeth Butler searches for shadows. A famous scientist with a reputation for eccentricity, she carries a strange secret. Where others see nothing but dirt and bones and fragments of pottery, Elizabeth sees shades of the men and women who walked this ground thousands of years before. She can speak to the past—and the past is beginning to speak back. As Elizabeth communes with ghosts, the daughter she abandoned flies to Mexico hoping for a reunion. She finds a mother embroiled in the supernatural, on a quest for the true reason for the Mayans’ disappearance. To dig up the truth, the archaeologist who talks to the dead must learn a far more difficult skill: speaking to her daughter.

Pages : 165
Book Description
“The Widening Gyre is the best Space Opera I’ve read in years.” — Cemetery Dance Online The Remembrance War Book 1 Eight hundred years ago, the Zhen Empire discovered a broken human colony ship drifting in the fringes of their space. The Zhen gave the humans a place to live and folded them into their Empire as a client state. But it hasn’t been easy. Not all Zhen were eager to welcome another species into their Empire, and humans have faced persecution. For hundreds of years, human languages and history were outlawed subjects, as the Zhen tried to mold humans into their image. Earth and the cultures it nourished for millennia are forgotten, little more than legends. One of the first humans to be allowed to serve in the Zhen military, Tajen Hunt became a war hero at the Battle of Elkari, the only human to be named an official Hero of the Empire. He was given command of a task force, and sent to do the Empire’s bidding in their war with the enigmatic Tabrans. But when he failed in a crucial mission, causing the deaths of millions of people, he resigned in disgrace and faded into life on the fringes as a lone independent pilot. When Tajen discovers his brother, Daav, has been killed by agents of the Empire, he, his niece, and their newly-hired crew set out to finish his brother’s quest: to find Earth, the legendary homeworld of humanity. What they discover will shatter 800 years of peace in the Empire, and start a war that could be the end of the human race.
