  Grief doesn’t have to be the end of your story. 
    
  Healing is possible. This powerful promise lies at the heart of Dear Drew: Creating a Life Bigger Than Grief, Melissa Hull’s transformative guide to healing from profound loss.

With deep compassion and fiercely personal storytelling, she shows readers it’s possible to integrate grief and grow alongside it, and to build a meaningful future while still honoring the past. 
    
  Whatever your loss, no matter the depth of your sorrow, you are worthy and capable of healing. Dear Drew is an invitation to discover resilience, growth, and even joy—in a life where loss and love can coexist.

  The Crisis of the Twelfth...

  Medieval civilization came of age in thunderous events like the Norman Conquest and the First Crusade. Power fell into the hands of men who imposed coercive new lordships in quest of nobility. Rethinking a familiar history, Thomas Bisson explores the circumstances that impelled knights, emperors, nobles, and churchmen to infuse lordship with social purpose.Bisson traces the origins of European government to a crisis of lordship and its resolution. King John of England was only the latest and most conspicuous in a gallery of bad lords who dominated the populace instead of ruling it. Yet, it was not so much the oppressed people as their tormentors who were in crisis. The Crisis of the Twelfth Century suggests what these violent people—and the outcries they provoked—contributed to the making of governments in kingdoms, principalities, and towns.

  My Whirlwind Lives - Navigating...

  Our recent storms didn't start in 2020 or 2016. They started decades ago in the 1960s - a whirlwind of threatened nuclear catastrophe, then police dogs and rednecks terrorizing civil rights marchers down south, then Vietnamese children fleeing from napalm flames. Then draft notices to go to Vietnam to "fight commies." 
  A small town boy started by supporting rightist Goldwater against the "peace candidate" Johnson, but rapidly changed in the face of the civil rights and anti-war movements, and started a quest that hasn't ended yet. 
  This book tells Dee Knight's story of "waking up" to the truth about the US war in Vietnam, then refusing the draft and going to Canada where he lived for six years. It relates the years-long campaign for amnesty, in which Knight was a leader. After war resisters won a partial amnesty, Knight continued campaigning against US wars up to the present day. 
  There are chapters on: 
  The political storms of 1968 
  Exile life in Canada 
  The years-long campaign for universal unconditional amnesty 
  Antiwar veterans and active duty soldiers and sailors, including the sanctuary movement 
  Witnessing Portugal's "Carnation Revolution" of 1975 
  Living and working in Sandinista Nicaragua 
  Socialism and the Green New Deal 
  "Messages from the Future" 
  Reflections on the Pandemic 
  The Battle to Expand and Protect Democracy 
  Appendices on Vietnam's victory in 1975, and on the reality of life and politics in China
