Resistance, Revolution and Other Love Stories
by K
FriesenPress 
 
"I think we’re destined to one day despise those quirks we once fell in love with."

From the opening tale, it is clear that this collection of twelve stories centering around love will be anything but conventional. Survivor's guilt devours the main character, Mustapha, who survives a bombing in Gaza that claims the lives of his neighbors and own brother, Khalid. In the privacy of his thoughts, he is unable to hide his attraction for Khalid's widow, Khalila, particularly knowing that the affection is reciprocated.

The imagery of the fallen families, depicted by the metaphor of fallen branches, their limbs and bodies sprawled together yet mangled in every direction, is haunting. While love is central, the author's stories transcend beyond simple romance and dive into contextualized and developed worlds that add unique insight into what drives human behavior.  ...

The US Review news was brought to you by...
Wild World by Peter S. Rush

"Rush is an accomplished storyteller, and he weaves a tale both memorable and believable.  ...a young man's journey from intellectual observer to committed participant ...a chronicle of America's chaotic times in the early 1970s."   
– The US Review of Books
Floating Underwater by Tracy Shawn
 
"A female coming-of-age story, the novel is also a detective thriller.  ...creates a lush, mysterious, and open atmosphere in which the enlightening climax develops. This multi-genre read celebrates the many and varied second chances life offers to those open to see them."
–  The US Review of Books
Still the Night Call by Joshua Senter
 
"In this chilling novel, readers follow a young dairy farmer staring down his last day on his family's southern Missouri farm. This book's power lies in its relevance and its authenticity yet acknowledging the blurry lines between one's reality and their own fiction."
 - RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Five Mile Charlie by Shirley Howard
 
"Colorful characters with diverse personalities balance fun and exciting adventures with some real-life topics, making it an effective vehicle for simple messages about compassion, friendship, and inclusion ...a fun, delightful read for young readers. It would be a wonderful addition to a classroom or home collection." 
 - RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Beyond Death: Continuing Stories in the Afterlife by Sally Muir
 
"Muir's writing is engaging, treating serious issues with sincerity and the occasional touch of healthy humor. The narrative amply fulfills the purpose so wisely envisioned, opening the possibility of greater spiritual insight, inner hearing, and outer healing..."
