Camille is a mild-mannered owner of a coffee house café. Bianca, wounded in love, is a pseudo-militant civil rights activist who free-lances as a journalist. The Murdock Sisters are forced to face their differences in life and love when Camille meets and falls for the handsome, up and coming executive, Preston Warner Hughes. Surprises and drama surface when Bianca, while following a lead, uncovers a plot which could destroy Preston, his career, and ultimately her sister Camille.

Dr. Angela Chester New Book Exposes the Emotion of Breast Cancer, Stories of Survivorship Increase
by BWW News Desk - October 13, 2013
Dr. Angela Chester: ' As a fellow breast cancer survivor, I created 'My Life In Pink' (published by Lulu) to share these moving stories with as many women as possible. Ten spirited, brave and courageous women shared their time, their feelings, and their souls to tell their inspiring stories.' 'My Life in Pink' shares the survivor stories of numerous women from various backgrounds and walks of life. Each woman shares her unique and encouraging story writing in her style. Every story brings about a different emotion, a different experience and a different attitude towards the fight for their lives. Reassuring. Empowering. Uplifting. An excerpt from page 48, 'My Life In Pink': 'Suddenly my life was turned upside down. At the age of 44 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I shared the angst of over 2.4 million women in the U.S. ... Why was this happening to me? What was I going to do? Who would care for my five children?' Why this book? No matter the age of the reader, those diagnosed with breast cancer will find reassurance by relating to others who have found their way through the maze of surviving cancer. An excerpt from page 108, 'My Life In Pink': 'Let us raise our glasses to every warrior in pink who has fought before us and won, and to those who did not. To every warrior in pink who is fighting right now this very moment. And to the hope and the dream and their reality of seeing the day when the color pink can go back to being just a color.'
InterVarsity Press Author, Mark Van Steenwyk to Speak at Free Event in Lancaster, PA
by BWW News Desk - October 13, 2013
InterVarsity Press Author Mark Van Steenwyk, will be speaking at a free event on October 18th, at Cafe One Eight in downtown Lancaster (Pennsylvania), starting at 7pm. Mark will be discussing his role in intentional community and his new book, "The unKingdom of God," which released in August. This event is being hosted and promoted by The Community Haus. 'The UnKingdom of God' was released a month ago in August, and has been garnering attention ever since. Mark believes Christianity is carrying a lot of baggage. Two thousand years of well-intended (and sometimes not so well-intended) attempts to carry forward the good news of God with us have resulted in some murky understandings of the teachings of Jesus and the culture of God's kingdom. To embrace Christianity, sometimes we have to repent of what we've made of it. In 'The UnKingdom of God', author Mark Van Steenwyk explores the various ways we have failed our mission by embracing the ways of the world and advancing our own agendas. He shows us that the starting place of authentic Christian witness is repentance, and that while Jesus' kingdom is not of this world, it remains the only hope of the world.
