Herded by Miracles: An only child, a burden to her single mother and born in South Africa in the middle of a war, the author had to discern life's purpose by living it. She rides through the widest emotional landscapes of contrast: the Apartheid conflict between black and white, between Boer and British, and the disconnect between African and European cultures, the generosity of strangers, the betrayal of friends, and rejection by family.

Through all these mirrors, the patchwork pilgrimage is towards the transcendent lovingness of Creation. We all have a lamp to trim for the coming of our bridegroom. This harrowing but often humorous chronicle (God tells good stories with both wit and parody) is one such Trimming. Its natural mysticism emerges like smoke from damp leaves.

Abandoned at birth and shuffled through the system all her life, Cinder is on the verge of being expelled from yet another school. Despite high test scores, Cinder’s records show a penchant for fighting, defiance, impulsivity, and “an unwillingness to develop appropriate decision-making skills”―whatever that means. When a lunch-time brawl breaks out in the cafeteria, Cinder gloomily prepares for what has become all-too familiar. This fight, however, won’t end like all the others.

Allfather has dispatched his Predators, an elite team of bodyguards, to bring Cinder to the Proving Grounds, where she will be broken, disciplined, trained, and given her quest directive.

Cinder may be in an alternate realm full of Valkyries, dark elves, and world-encircling serpents, but she still has a chip on her shoulder the size of Thor’s hammer, and she’s not about to let Odin or any other god push her around.

Part 2 of Series so far in conjunction with ChristiTutionalist TM Politics podcast providing historical context of America's Judeo/Christian Foundations based upon Biblical Community (Free Will, Charity, etc.) vs Worldly Communism (Force, Theft, etc.) as was already tried on our Soil back during the Bradford Colony Mayflower Communal Compact and they almost all starved to death. Bradford and the Colony then pivoted to Biblical FREE WILL (Freedom) and Personal/Individual Responsibilities and Rights over Collectivist one's (that fails to take in account Human Nature and some desires to do least possible, if not avoid shirking any responsibility at all, and eventually more in Cart than can pull the Cart and ATLAS SHRUGS); Private Property ownership, again over Collectivist concept which when no-one owns no-one has direct pride and taking actual ownership of the responsibilities for; etc.; and as they say THE REST IS HISTORY as our Founders learned from that initial Failure.
