An Act Of Redemption

She saw in him what no one else could see. He found in her what he could never find. One moment changed everything but, even with a break in time, their connection could never be severed. In the beginning he may have been her salvation, but in the end she will be his redemption. *** This is Book One in the Acts Of Honor series, the spin-off series to Men Of Honor. It's Anna and Logan's story and is told in dual POV, has an HEA with no cliffhanger and it can be read as a standalone. However, I highly recommend that you read the Men Of Honor series prior, as characters play recurring roles in both series. Warning: Due to mature subject matter, such as explicit sexual situations and coarse language, this story is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18.

This isn’t a fairy tale. No. It’s a tale of woe as old as time. But even the tragic deserve a happily ever after, and I’m here to give it to you. Charlotte Sticking out like a preacher’s pregnant teenage daughter, I lift myself off the floor and fluff my unconventionally long black hair--a silent f*ck you to the sea of blond that surrounds me. I live in a world of fraud. Everything is fake, plastic, and superficial. Nothing is what it seems and your worth is measured in dollar signs and social status. Who am I? Nothing but a prized possession. A dress-up doll for one of the most powerful men in the country. He may beat me, break me, and make me bleed. But he will never win. Aiden Tasked with protecting that which I despise, I struggle against turning into the monster I vowed I’d never become. How can I do right by her when being near her sets my very soul on fire? She’s a saint and temptress all in one. Unable to separate one from the other, I begin to fall into her, letting her consume my every desire. Will I survive this torture or will her love be my demise?

Karen Lord's debut novel, which won the prestigious Frank Collymore Literary Prize in Barbados, is an intricately woven tale of adventure, magic, and the power of the human spirit. Paama's husband is a fool and a glutton. Bad enough that he followed her to her parents' home in the village of Makende, now he's disgraced himself by murdering livestock and stealing corn. When Paama leaves him for good, she attracts the attention of the undying ones - the djombi - who present her with a gift; the Chaos Stick, which allows her to manipulate the subtle forces of the world. Unfortunately, a wrathful djombi with indigo skin believes this power should be his and his alone. Bursting with humor and rich in fantastic detail, Redemption in Indigo is a clever, contemporary fairy tale that introduces readers to a dynamic new voice in Caribbean literature. Lord's world of spider tricksters and indigo immortals, inspired in part by a Senegalese folk tale, will feel instantly familiar - but Paama's adventures are fresh, surprising, and utterly original.

Johnson shows how the themes of Acts, centering on redemption in Jesus Christ, connect with both Old Testament prophecy and our experience today.

This story-oriented recovery book unfolds the back-story of redemption in Exodus to show how Jesus redeems us from the slavery of abuse and addiction and restores us to our created purpose, the worship of God.

Finally, by re-imagining, we create opportunities to re-write all dimensions of experience (temporal, personal, and cultural) in ways that reclaim and redeem the narrative composition of our lives. When these narrative acts are engaged, we write alternate realities and open futures into existence. Each narrative act is illustrated in the collection by stories that most exemplify its function and power. Stories in the first movement, demonstrate authors' engagement with the process of reflecting through memory and over time to make sense of experience, in particular, the reality of change and trauma. In the second movement, the act of re-imagining is illustrated as writers challenge limited definitions of care and explore futures beyond convention. .
