Book Description
An exquisitely eerie and unsettling speculative novel that grapples with questions of trauma, identity, and the workings of memory Months after her sister’s death, Marianne wakes up to find a growth of thick black hairs along her spine. They defy her attempts to remove them, instead proliferating, growing longer. The hairs, Marianne’s doctor tells her, are a reaction to trauma, developed in the wake of the loss of her sister, Marie. Her doctor recommends that Marianne visits Nede, a modern, New Age rehabilitation center in a remote forest in Wales where the patients attend unorthodox therapy sessions and commune with nature. Yet something strange is happening to Marianne and the other patients at Nede: a metamorphosis of a kind. As the hairs on her back continue to grow, the past starts to entangle itself with the present and the borders of her consciousness threaten to disintegrate. She finds herself drawn back compulsively to the memory of Marie, obsessing over the impulse that drew her sister toward death and splintered her family apart. As Marianne’s memories threaten to overwhelm her, Nede offers her release from this cycle of memory and pain—but only at a terrible price: that of identity itself. Haunting, lyrical, and introspective, Garden of Earthly Bodies is a startlingly accomplished and original debut about the bond between two sisters, love and its limits, and our inability to ever truly to know the minds of others. With an intense and precise attention to the internal workings of minds and bodies and a disturbing speculative plot, the novel welcomes an assured new voice to the genre.

Through a kind of lyric dreamwork, Mlekoday sounds the depths-of ancestry and identity, race and gender, earth and self-to track the unbecoming and re-membering of the body"--

Book Description
Have you ever often found yourself wondering about life and your own way of life? Questioning it with no true answers and feeling insecure? If so, then this book is for you. It will aid in helping you get answers of truth. It is all truth and encouragement to you through God's Word and views. It will walk you through the past, present, and future of your life and the world through natural aspects and stages of human life that each and every one of us will face individually. It will also explain how God intended and pictured true life to be lived out by us and why it is not in our life because we have and possess all the power to do so and to control our own destiny out of two different ways of life""which are having everything as a blessing, pleasure, joy, and happiness through God's way or having everything as a curse, pain, sorrow, suffering, trouble, and tribulation through our own way. It is our choice to have and make by how we choose to live and by our views which drives, influences, and guides our way, conduct, behaviors, and so much more.
