Revised 2nd edition. CONVICTION, a satirical, original sequel to Jane Austen's timeless classic PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, reveals the romantic destiny of Georgiana Darcy. The author, however, does not rest on the laurels of Austen; she introduces an entirely new cast of characters, including an ambitious soldier, a wistful vicar, a flirtatious abolitionist, and an ordinary curate. The fates of these characters intertwine as each struggles to find the conviction to live out his or her own calling while confronting issues of loyalty, courage, faith, and love. CONVICTION is not a novel merely for fans of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, but for all who take part in the ordinary struggles of humanity.

Skylar Hamilton Burris, author of Waldenbooks/Amazon Religious Romance Bestseller Conviction, explores the life of Charlotte Collins in An Unlikely Missionary, her second sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. In the pages of Pride and Prejudice, Charlotte Collins seems the antithesis of romance. She possesses neither beauty nor sparkling personality, as she herself ruefully acknowledges. Her lack of fortune and prospects forces her to adopt a pragmatic view of life, and, much to the horror of her close friend Elizabeth Darcy, she consents to marry the boorish Mr. Collins, a respectable rector. From there, Ms. Burris picks up the tale. In this surprising sequel, the Collinses are unexpectedly sent on a missionary journey by their benefactress, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Charlotte finds herself far away from the world she once knew and the practical niche she had carved within it. This new world ushers in a new cast of characters: fellow missionaries, Indian villagers, and their harsh, mysterious, and handsome leader, Mr. Rivers. But will Charlotte's pragmatism enable her to endure tragedy, brace her for a startling revelation, and equip her to discover who she really is?

Reflections in the Wake

Spurr, James

In an anxiety filled world, wisdom and serenity seem more elusive than ever. We're bombarded with images of war, terrorism, a struggling economy, political battles, climate change, fuel shortages, natural disasters, contagious viruses and moral decay. Add to these national and international problems our own individual concerns, and wisdom and serenity seem like unattainable fables from by-gone eras. Yet, the answers are where they have always laid: in faith, in work, in staying focused on what is truly important. Jerry Cypher, no stranger to any of these concepts, has compiled some of the stories, quotes and biographical moments that he has found to be most useful as reminders in his own life for achieving, and keeping, wisdom and serenity uppermost in his daily life, even while existing in an age of madness. Jerry Cypher first faced adversity at the age of eight with the death of his father. From a childhood of financial struggle, he learned the importance of community, faith, hard work, and giving back. These principles helped him to achieve in the business world as a successful entrepreneur owning an employment placement agency for Fortune 500 companies both on the national and international level, and a business brokering agency. Married and with children of his own, he never forgot the support of a community to a fatherless child, and he has spent all of his adult life coaching and mentoring youth as well as giving motivational speeches in different venues.

Her mother Karen Waterson is reeling from the news that her ex-husband is expecting a baby with his new wife and that his financial woes will mean Karen selling her and Alice’s home. Across town, A.J. Handley is staving off loneliness and wondering if the chest pains he’s been having are serious. Heading for Miami, a young man struggles with his choice of rejecting the woman he loves and the baby she carries. And at the Gadara Twin Oaks B&amp;B, innkeeper Sarah Jane is not quite sure what to make of the stranger who arrives after hitch-hiking his way into town. Sunny Serafino weaves a haunting tale of mystery, faith and the intertwining of lives as each of her characters faces their own problems and dilemmas, seeking answers from God. They find that none of the answers come immediately or easily, but that the final answer may rest in the actions of another, hidden for two generations. A secret so buried that only Divine Intervention could possibly reveal it.
