The quilt of humanity is in a tattered state, says Deborah Howard, a New York City organization development and diversity consultant. We suffer too much as a result of racism, oppression, and the various ways that power and privilege affect us. Drawing on her own cultural background, she employs the Jewish concept of tikkun olam-healing and repairing the world-to present a provocatively insightful way out of our dilemma. That ideal can be applied both to the overall tattered quilt of humanity and to the individual torn, twisted, and distorted woven cloths that make up this quilt. Mending the quilt of humanity is a lengthy and complicated process. It requires reparation and healing on different levels and in many ways, all of which are necessary for complete equity and justice. Weaving her own story of injustice and oppression into the larger pattern, Deborah Howard gives us an inspiring model to follow. We learn how to weave our own stories into those of the larger society. Finally, she writes about the importance of understanding the essential thread of forgiveness-for ourselves and for others for perpetuating society's inequities.

Cordelia Lawson is summoned back to her home in Baltimore-without her beloved Robert. There, she learns to move forward with her life, overcoming a new set of obstacles and challenges. She settles into some semblance of normalcy, then hears that Robert has been found. Rushing to Hot Springs, Arkansas, the man she finds there looks like Robert, speaks like Robert, but is he the one she's loved and longed for?

When young, beautiful Cordelia Lawson left her civilized hometown of Baltimore, Maryland to join her soldier husband in the wild frontier of Indian Territory, she couldn't have imagined how her life would change. Caught between the love and respect for her husband and her newly-found appreciation and concern for the Southern Cheyenne, her heart and mind are torn. Cordelia's impulsiveness throws her into wild adventures she couldn't have dreamed of as a girl in Baltimore. And her rescuer turns out to be the one person on earth she couldn't stand. Join her in the dangerous and controversial escapades that threatened her downfall. Will she rise to the occasion? Will the plains force her to grow up? Will she reign victorious over her unusual circumstances? Please enjoy As Snow Before a Summer Sun, Book One of The Cordelia Chronicles.
