Through a deep conviction of God’s solidarity with those oppressed and criminalized, many of us believe that God wills and enacts liberation for those Frantz Fanon called the wretched of the earth. African-American Christians have sought relief from this wound through the balm of their faith. Denial is an understandable response to a wound that will not heal, but so too is frustration and anger. We share this wound in ways that are not easy to comprehend, but very easy to deny. The deep wound of our racial history has never passed-no one in America lives without it. Anthea Butler’s post after the acquittal of George Zimmerman touched a nerve in what Wendell Berry called the hidden wound-that raw, throbbing one that never grows skin thick enough to keep it from puncturing and bleeding at the slightest touch. ![]()

I will not give away any secrets in the plot. Elmore Leonard type: short, character-revealing, and advancing the story conflict. Great dialogue in this entertaining novel. The writer pulls off the balancing act between realistic feminine energy and highly effective tough combat successfully blending all three genres: a war story, science fiction, and a love story. The writing style is very impressive, usually found in male adventures, yet his heroine is a woman in love.

Thy have long sharp fingernails like blades. And drives their desires to kill children. Clean children smell worse, that angers and disgusts them. They have larger nostrils and a very sensitive sense of smell. Their pupils also change shape constantly and dance about. Witches can have rather fantastic eye colours such as glowing purple. Humans only have a limited choice of eye colours. ![]() ![]() The witches are very good at blending in as ordinary ladies.
