The American master's first novel since Winter's Bone tells of a deadly dance hall fire and its impact over several generations. Alma DeGeer Dunahew, the mother of three young boys, works as the maid for a prominent citizen and his family in West Table, Missouri. Her husband is mostly absent, and, in 1929, her scandalous, beloved younger sister is one of the 42 killed in an explosion at the local dance hall. Who is to blame? Mobsters from St. Louis? The embittered local gypsies? The preacher who railed against the loose morals of the waltzing couples? Or could it have been a colossal accident? Alma thinks she knows the answer-and that its roots lie in a dangerous love affair. Her dogged pursuit of justice makes her an outcast and causes a long-standing rift with her own son. By telling her story to her grandson, she finally gains some solace-and peace for her sister. He is advised to "Tell it. Go on and tell it"-tell the story of his family's struggles, suspicions, secrets, and triumphs.

Into the Mystic
Author: Dennis P. McMahon
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1453501479
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
As spiritual beings having a human experience, we are all capable of entering Into the Mystic. For the Mystic—that expanded state of awareness where we can connect with Spirit and experience other realities—has been accessible to us from the very beginning when we as children were much more capable of having mystical experiences. However, as we stray from the innocence and openness of childhood, we tend to lose our spiritual capabilities. Nevertheless, as Into the Mystic reveals and promises in a unique and entertaining way, we can reclaim the true magic and birthright of our youth by following a spiritual path, pursuing "ultimate reality," and thereby come to know ourselves, and "God," in the process. Into the Mystic (From the Streets of Brooklyn) is an exploration of self and ultimate reality through shamanism, after-death communications, past-life regressions, and original mystical thought. The work is filled with tales of wondrous, real-life mystical adventures and spiritual encounters, and is deep and magical enough to be appreciated by even the most enlightened among us. However, Into the Mystic is simultaneously intended to be shared and enjoyed by our less spiritually inclined friends, mates and significant others, and can actually help bridge the seemingly insurmountable gap between believers and skeptics.

Book Description
In the years 1980 and 1981, El Salvador was in the midst of a brutal civil. In March, 1980, Archbishop Oscar Romero was assassinated by a death squad. The novel’s fictional heroine, Public Prosecutor Alejandra Rivera de Hernandez, is assigned to investigate the case. The National Police will not help her, as the death squads have deep connections to the police and armed forces. Alejandra participates in a raid of the farm of Roberto D’Aubuisson, a former Major in the Army and reputed leader of the death squads. She interviews him and recovers documents that show a massive cover-up, with all branches of the armed forces, and the CIA, involved in the targeting of students, priests, and union leaders, for torture and elimination. As Ale pursues the case, and issues subpoenas to the heads of the Intelligence sections, she becomes the target of the death squads, and soon she is running for her life. This novel blends real, historical characters that participated in El Salvador’s civil war with fictional characters, so that the reader can be a witness to the events that occurred. Along the way there is a reflection on religion and the nature of evil, and how the killers on both sides justified their actions.
