Eddie is dangerous and he seems fixated on Pearl. When he reveals why he's really there and shares a shocking secret involving the whole town, dust won't be the only thing darkening Pearl's world.While the tone is suspenseful and often poignant, the subtle humor of Pearl's voice keeps A Cup of Dust from becoming heavyhanded.

A Daily Rate (Grace Livingston Hill Classic Ser. #4)
by Grace HillCelia Murray was unhappy living in a drab, dirty boardinghouse with other “homeless" people. The food was poorly cooked and tasteless, the rooms dark and drafty. But she could afford nothing better. After inheriting an abundant yearly allowance, Celia and her Aunt Hannah were able to take over the boardinghouse, and they immediately began making improvements--both material and spiritual. These two godly women, assisted by Horace Stafford, a young minister, taught the boarders about Christ's love--a love that brought them together as a "family." As Celia became involved in the lives of her boarders, she knew she was falling in love with the kindhearted pastor. But she soon realized this feeling could never be returned. Distressed, Celia sought comfort from the Lord, but her troubled spirit gave her no peace. She had learned to trust Cod daily as she saw Him work in the lives around her--but could she trust Him in the matter of her own heart? She loved a man who cherished another woman. Celia Murray, an impoverished, beautiful young woman--orphaned at an early age--found the desires of her prayerful heart answered by an unexpected inheritance. Now she was able to provide for her beloved Aunt Hannah and change her oppressive life-style in a dreary Philadelphia boardinghouse. One night an educated young man, Horace Stafford, came to rent a room. Celia was attracted to him, but was sure he loved another. Didn't he treasure the locket that contained a picture of a young woman? Ashamed and angry with herself, Celia fought her growing affection, but Horace's strong faith and good works stirred her heart. Was Celia's love for this man of God never to be fulfilled?

A Dakini's Counsel: Sera Khandro's Spiritual Advice and Dzogchen Instructions
by Sera KhandroTranslated here for the first time, a collection of heartfelt and intimate advice for Buddhist practice from the modern female Buddhist teacher Sera Khandro Dewai Dorje (1892–1940), revealing her firsthand experiences as a mother, wife, consort, and spiritual teacher of the Dzogchen tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.Sera Khandro Dewai Dorje was a rare example of a well-known Tibetan woman renowned as a teacher in the modern era. While there are many notable female figures in Tibetan Buddhist history, very few left a collection of poetic, autobiographical, and devotional writings as extensive as Dewai Dorje. Both biographical and instructional, this is a collection of advice, prayers, dreams, prophecies, and treasures (terma) from within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of Dzogchen, a Buddhist practice on resting in the nature of mind. Typically seen as high level practices, these Dzogchen and other instructions are presented in Dewai Dorje&’s highly personal and accessible voice. This collection of practice instructions is a window into the inner experience of a beautiful woman in love who single-pointedly pursued a life of Dharma. Born to a wealthy and powerful father in Lhasa, she left home and became a dedicated Dharma practitioner living as an unaccompanied female in the wilds of eastern Tibet in the early 1900s. She became a wife, mother, and then consort and wrote of both highly spiritual and highly personal experiences, from spiritual realization to grief.
A Dangerous Energy
by John WhitbournEngland, 1967: ruled by the power of the Catholic Church, as it has been since the failure of the Protestant Reformation.

From there his progress, if not steady - there is something about Tobias that arouses unease in his superiors - is generally upwards. As a curate, as a priest, as a soldier in the bloody war against heresy and finally as an eminent expert on diabolism, Tobias becomes a power in the English Catholic Church.And as he does so, he pursues his second career: as liar, drug smuggler, rakehell, mass murderer, betrayer, vicious libertine and consorter with demons. For the elf legacy that has shaped his life has robbed him of something vital. And when Tobias, in an effort finally to discover some meaning in life, embarks on a fantastic and perilous quest through supernatural realms he finds himself at the last confronting a savage irony.
