'When men in police uniforms came to execute me on the roadside, beside dark fields, it was a definite sign that my new life was over.' A regular at the local pub, a mainstay of the footy team, Mac Faraday is a man with a past living the quiet life of a country blacksmith. But when his best friend Ned Lowey is found hanged, Mac - who has learned the hard way never to accept things at face value - isn't convinced he committed suicide and starts asking questions. Why did Ned keep press cuttings about the skeleton of a girl found in an old mine shaft? What was he doing at Kinross Hall, the local detention centre for juvenile girls? Who was the beaten girl found naked beside a lonely road? As Mac's search for answers pushes deeper into the past, it resurrects the terrifying spectre of what he calls his 'old life', forcing him to turn to long-discarded skills not only to discover why his best friend died, but also to save his own life.

A single woman myself, I invite everyone to celebrate the integral part single women play in the body of Christ. With God at the head of the table, we will seek wisdom and examples from His Word to guide us as we each pull up a chair and join the conversation. Love-for God and for others-is our one single reason to engage in this open dialogue through authentic relationships. Drawing from single women's stories, we will rejoice with those who are "single and lovin' it, mostly." learn how to support each other as single women, and what we can offer others. allow God to redefine the deepest desires of our heart. avoid the encaging traps that divide us. respond to others in ways that lead to contentment. share strategies for how to live out love in a congregational context. It is my prayer that through the conversations facilitated by this book, single and single-again women will feel affirmed, understood, and represented. Thank you for joining in the conversation as we live out love: our one single reason.

Rose Kennedy was born in 1890 and died in 1995. The mother of nine children, she outlived four of them, two slain by assassins. Her eldest, Joseph, perished during World War II, while her second son, John F. Kennedy, ascended to the highest office in America. Her sons, Robert and Edward, also assumed political power, but their lives were marked with what many called the "Kennedy curse." Never before had there been such a world-famous matriarch, a woman who had given so much and yet had so much taken away. In this intimate and revealing portrait of Rose Kennedy, Cindy Adams and Susan Crimp set the record straight about the real power behind America's political throne for more than 40 years. They identify Rose--"Queen Mother of Camelot"--as the one constant pillar of strength who kept America's most powerful and privileged family together. Iron Rose is the tale of one of the strongest women in America's history--a woman guided by her faith in both her family and her religion--and ensures Rose her rightful place as one of the 20th century's most influential women.
