A mother is told her newborn has died, and she goes home to grieve. The baby is alive – and has just been sold. In 2021, two young women in the country of Georgia learned they were twin sisters, separated at birth and raised apart. Their mother had been told both of her daughters died in the hospital. They hadn't. They had been taken and sold, and the paperwork was forged so she would never go looking. Weird Darkness podcast host Darren Marlar started with that one case and kept finding it – in a dozen countries, across nearly a hundred years.

The figures are shocking: 40% of American women and nearly a quarter of American men have been sexually assaulted. While #MeToo stories and the survivors who shared them have helped combat sexual harassment in the workplace, improved police interventions, and resulted in high-profile convictions, the public has only just begun to reckon with the impact sexual assault has on survivors. The ongoing silence points to the still-taboo intersection of two subjects: sexual assault and sexuality. Sex After Sexual Assault explores this crossroads through the lens of survivors' own stories.

The Me Too movement, started by Black feminist Tarana Burke in 2006, went viral as a hashtag 11 years later after a tweet by White actor Alyssa Milano. Mainstream movements like #MeToo have often built on and coopted the work of women of color, while refusing to learn from them or center their concerns. Far too often, the message is not "Me, Too" but "Me, Not You". Me, Not You argues that the mainstream movement against sexual violence expresses a political whiteness that both reflects its demographics and limits its revolutionary potential.

This book is addressed directly to women experiencing domestic abuse, and to those who seek to support them, including pastoral leaders, friends, and support organizations. It debunks the myths—perpetuated by some abusers and, unwittingly, by many churches—which prevent women from getting out of harm’s way. It helps them realize that the Bible does not belong to their abuser but is a text of liberation. Written with careful attention to pastoral issues, it closely examines and clearly explains the relevant scriptural texts.

A fire breaks out in a chapel, and DCI Warren Jones is alarmed by what is discovered at the scene. Curled up in the ash and debris is a body - and it’s soon clear that the chapel doors were locked from the inside. The disappearance of a local priest, Father Nolan, and a cryptic note left in his room, point to an unusually violent suicide. But when further evidence confuses the picture, Warren begins to suspect foul play – and murder. Clearly, someone wanted this seemingly innocent man to suffer.
