His mother, the Queen, wants to resume her dark plans that end with a soulless Derek and unimaginable power at her fingertips. But this time is different from the last time Derek was trapped on Morland. This time he isn't alone. He has friends with him. He has Elinor. Elinor thought her ability to see Morland was a pointless curse but as soon as she stepped onto Morland soil everything changed.

The Goodness and the Darkness will battle for Derek's soul and the very fate of Morland rests in Elinor's hands. Headaches or no headaches, the task before her seems impossible.

In utter grief and sorrow, a young woman made her way to the grave of her father, Prophet Muhammad and broke down in tears, lamenting, "After your death, our rights have been trampled upon; our rights were denied... However, O Prophet! I do not weep at your grave because of what I have personally suffered, but rather, due to my separation from you." This young woman also wept for political reasons. Although she wept at different times, different places and for different reasons, she refused to weep privately - she wept publicly and openly. She wept at home, in the streets in the Masjid and in the graveyard - and she was making a political statement: The perfect system given by Prophet Muḥammad and the Quran has become corrupt! Her passionate pleas, wherever she went and to whomsoever she met were always the same: "We have tried our best to correct the corrupt state of affairs. We brought forth proofs however the majority of people have rejected them. We tried to educate and remind the Muhajirin and Ansar about the situation, however they ignored us. In private, they pledged their support, however in public, they were not ready to hold their promise - so now, where do we go?" It was at this point that a demand came from various companions of Prophet Muhammad for her to stop crying. She was told: "Don't cry day and day! Don't cry every day! Don't start a commotion in the society. People will begin to ask, 'What is wrong with the only daughter of the final Prophet that she is incessantly crying?' She must stop crying and if this is not possible, then tell her to cry once in a while..." This young woman replied, "I am not going to live long. My departure from this world is soon, but I swear by Allāh that I will not keep silent. If this is the only way I can protest the persecution and wrongdoing against the legacy of the Prophet, then this is what I will continue to do." Eventually, her husband build her a small house outside the city of Madīnah and daily, she went to her 'house of sorrows' with her children to cry and lament until death overtook her...

A celebration of the history and tradition of whole-hog barbeque from the ?most famous? pitmaster in North CarolinaEd Mitchell's journey in the barbeque business began in 1991 with a lunch for his mama, who was grieving the loss of Ed's father. Ed drove to the nearby Piggly Wiggly to buy a thirty-five-pound pig?that's a small one?and fired up the coals. As smoke filled the air and the pork skin started to crackle, the few customers at the family bodega started to inquire about lunch and what smelled so good. More than thirty years later, Ed is known simply as ?The Pitmaster? in barbeque circles and is widely considered one of the best at what he does.In his first cookbook, a collaboration with his son, Ryan, and written with Zella Palmer, Ed explores the tradition of whole-hog barbeque that has made him famous. It's a method passed down through generations over the course of 125 years and hearkens back even further than that, to his ancestors who were plantation sharecroppers and, before that, enslaved. Ed is one of the few remaining pitmasters to keep this barbeque tradition alive, and in Ed Mitchell's Barbeque, he will share his methods for the first time and fill in the unwritten chapters of the rich and complex history of North Carolina whole-hog barbeque.From cracklin to hush puppies, fried green tomatoes to deviled eggs, okra poppers, skillet cornbread, potato salad, and pickled pigs' feet, Ed Mitchell's Barbeque is filled with delicious and essential recipes honed over decades. And, of course, there is the barbeque?mouth-watering baby back ribs, smoked pork chops, backyard brisket, and barbequed chicken?all paired with lively and warmly told stories from the Mitchell family. Ed Mitchell's Barbeque is rich with the history of Wilson, North Carolina, and yet promises to bring barbeque to the next level.

The year was 1964, John Kennedy was dead and the country was reeling from the aftermath of his assasination. The Warren Commission was sifting evidence. Lyndon Johnson was beginning to tear down Camelot to build the Great Society. Young men started burning draft cards. Rioting African Americans burned neighborhoods. The "conflict" in Vietnam was escalating and Jackie Kennedy was fast on her way to becoming an icon of dignified widowhood. The year 1964 was when the Beatles crossed the pond, Elizabeth Taylor dumped Eddie Fisher for Richard Burton, and the Beverly Hillbillies was all the rage on television. In The Last Innocent Year, Jon Margolis weaves a narrative populated by some of the most dynamic figures of this century, from Robert Kennedy to Timothy Leary, from J. Edgar Hoover to Martin Luther King Jr. The result is a compelling chronicle of the events of 1964, the year that marked a watershed in American history.
