Soul Sister is a softer version of The Killing Fields created by popular fan base demand. Soul Sister thus contains many of the poems from The Killing Fields as well as some additional never before shared poetry from the time frame of the years this writer was mercilessly stalked and an objectified being caught within the tug-of-war between the predator, The One from Afar, the primary adult human co-victim, the local police force in their ineffectiveness made shockingly worse once a callous, clueless, seemingly chauvinistic, spiteful and sometimes emotionally irrational detective was placed on the case and the many helpless oftentimes cages tame animal victims the predator went after in endless compulsive repetitions through the years spanning from October 1999 to the summer of 2004. This was the world of this writers nightmarish drafted status losing the right to be a mere human with human feelings, wants and needs. It was also the backdrop for the Black Market style beauty contest and dating winner gets the fantastical prize game put forth by The One From Afar in the middle of The Killing Fields of the stalkers design from 1999 to mid-2003. In mid-2003 The One From Afar married his true deceiver and vanished from the picture blatantly leaving Sereena Nightshade to die. That final phase in the full range tug-of-war indicated clearly that Nightshade was left to whatever fate may occur, including one of being further hunted, stalked, kidnapped and at some point, tortured, repeatedly raped and murdered since she held no value to the only person who seemed, fictitiously, to care about her at the time. This was the reality of The Killing Fields: One stalker terrorizing/running endless surveillance/tampering with/torturing/murdering animals when he didnt mess-up, likely on purpose leaving them to suffer until his primary human victim had to clean up after his mistakes. One fool allegedly looking for love or reportedly in love with Nightshade. One primary adult human co-victim who was hapless and hopeless. One police detective who didnt give a darn. And all of the many innocent defenseless victims caught in the middle of this whirl in the stalkers predatory realm. This scenario or many components of it are not entirely rare for stalking victims as the presence of a stalker isolates the victim and narrows her world until there is almost nothing left no contacts, no friends, no support system while she must become a soldier despite the inhumane senseless of it all it so continues.

A fourteen-year-old girl tries to reconcile her dreams and hopes for the future with the harsh and often unpleasant realities of life in the bad section of town.

We can each radiate unconditional love. We don’t even need to create it – we are love. But the flow of love is blocked in moments of hurt, blame, anger, criticism, competition or insecurity. These emotions have dominated our emotional space, and hardly enable us to feel our own love. So today, we rely on someone else to love us. This book teaches us to think right, enable self-love, feel it and extend it to other people. The central message here is that love is not ‘out there’, but within us. A spectrum of emotions like attachment, expectations, hurt, worry, stress, fear or anger, which we use in the pretext of love, are analysed. The conversations also explore the fact that the parent-child relationship is not challenging – It does not need to be. As you free yourself from judgments and expectations, as you start thinking right for people, and as you accept people for who they are, you become a Radiator of unconditional love. You are one decision away from vibrating at a frequency of love … by not needing love or giving love – but just by being love.

Soul Sisters by Lesley Lokko is a rich, intergenerational tale of love, race, power and secrets which centres on the lifelong friendship between two women: Scottish Jen McFadden and South African-born Kemisa Mashabane, known to her friends as Kemi. Since childhood, Jen and Kemi have lived like sisters in the McFadden family home in Edinburgh, brought together by a shared family history which stretches back generations. Kemi was educated in Britain alongside Jen and the girls could not be closer; nor could they be more different in the paths they take in life. But the ties that bind them are strong and complicated, and a dark family secret exists in their joint history. Solam Rhoyi is from South Africa’s black political elite. Handsome, charismatic, charming, and a successful young banker, he meets both Kemi and Jen on a trip to London and sweeps them off their feet. Partly influenced by her interest in Solam, and partly on a journey of self-discovery, Kemi, now 31, decides to return to the country of her birth for the first time. Jen, seeking an escape from her father’s overbearing presence, decides to go with her. In Johannesburg, it becomes clear that Solam is looking for the perfect wife to facilitate his soaring political ambitions. But who will he choose? All the while, the real story behind the two families’ connection threatens to reveal itself – with devastating consequences . . .

Sisterhood is powerful, yet so is competition and antagonism between women. In Soul "Sister" bell hooks asks why, now that feminism has begun to make inroads in so many spheres, women seem more hostile and less understanding of each other; and what, if anything, feminists should do about this crisis. In "Soul Sister," hooks considers the causes for increased tension between women ??? including widening economic gaps, persistent racism, and homophobia ??? and shows how the media plays a role in creating divisions between women. She also suggests strategies for reconciliation, and proposes ways to increase harmony and acceptance. Like most of hooks' more recent titles on love and relationships, "Soul Sister "is conversational, direct, powerful, spiritual and written for a multiracial audience. Praise for bell hooks: "It's obvious that in all of hooks' forthright works, from her stunning memoirs to her seminal works on race, gender, art, and education, that for her writing is a moral act." - "Library Journal" "As astute, intrepid cultural critic hooks so eloquently observes, the inner lives of African Americans have been given short shrift in the annals of psychology???so cogent is hooks' thinking, so clarifying her language, that to read her is to set out on the path toward healing." -"Booklist" "The only woman in recent years who is readily identified as a member of that select group known as 'black public intellectuals.'"-"New York Times Book Review"

This new Chicken Soup book offers a heartwarming and uplifting collection of stories that celebrate the lifelong bond of sisterhood. Whether they share this special connection with someone through genetics or the heart, only a sister can understand the complex, deep and dynamic relationship they share with loved ones as they journey together through the stages of life. For younger sisters who look up to an older one, older siblings who tolerate a younger sister tagging along, or the brother who knows full well that girls can wrestle as well as any boy can, this book celebrates the sisters in our lives. It conveys how sisters influence us during life's most defining moments: helping us face the schoolyard bully; providing wise counsel during our first crush and subsequent comfort after the breakup; and refusing to reveal intimate secrets to parents or friends. With real-life stories from celebrities and everyday sisters-next-door, chapters include: On Love, Insights and Lessons, Sibling Rivalry, Overcoming Obstacles, The Bond Between Sisters, Sisters by Heart, On Family (Brothers, Too!), and Special Memories and Traditions. While they may not live under the same roof, act in the same manner or even get along without an occasional spat, nothing creates a more special and lasting bond than sisterhood. Now there's a book to celebrate that bond.
