In una Verona letargica per il caldo estivo, Loreta Assensi, giovane ispettore di polizia, indaga su alcuni strani episodi accaduti tra le boscose colline che sovrastano la città scaligera: ragazzate e nulla più secondo i suoi superiori. Nessuno sospetta quanto la sensuale investigatrice sta per scoprire. Un brutale omicidio macchia di sangue i sentieri che corrono tra le ville della Verona bene, un'ombra maligna che serpeggia tra i pini ed i cipressi delle Torricelle. Lassù, dove lo sguardo abbraccia un panorama fatto di campanili, croci e santità, la fede di un'intera comunità parrocchiale vacilla alle lusinghe del peccato e nasconde verità inconfessabili tra le pieghe della devozione. Un'indagine senza respiro che, tra piste internazionali e mitologiche visioni di un oriente biblico, racconta l'eterna lotta tra il bene ed il male.

A stage play for three actors. Three characters who have had a life changing experiences but who have not changed as they ought to have changed.

There was no way that I could defend my children and grandchildren from the warfare waged against us by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. No one came to our rescue and no one cared. This had and still angers me. It is Righteous anger and I thirst for justice. Justice that will only come to us when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth. We were a good family and made to live in fear; never knowing what they would do next to harm us.

two poems that are rather pensive in nature. One may enjoy the sombre note, or the reflection and nostalgia.

On a Saturday night, five friends embark on personal missions to get laid, get high, and--if all goes well--get rich in the process. They'll push the envelope until it breaks.

In her search to find healing and meaning in midlife, Glenda Goodrich undertakes a series of wilderness quests into the backcountry of Oregon, Washington, and California to discover what the natural world has to teach her about life, death, happiness, spirituality, and forgiveness. This book chronicles the sacred ceremonies that connected Goodrich to the land, wove her into nature’s web, and transformed her from a woman who worked to please others into a woman who forged her own path. It is a brilliant collection of adventures—the touch of coyote fur, a snake’s kiss, a ceremonial blood offering—and a profound reflection on the healing and restorative power of nature.
