SUNDOGS AND SINNERS

SUNDOGS AND SINNERS

 

 Sundogs and Sinners is a tale of love and hate, nurture and neglect, traditions and taboos that shines cold light upon the dangers of chasing what cannot be caught.Jasmine is the daughter of opposite worlds: Angela, her mother, the white privileged debutant from the upper echelons of Fargo’s wealthiest and politically empowered and Jasmine’s biological father, Dave, the eighth of nine children of a Minneapolis single Ojibwe mother. Driven by the death of her elder teenage brother and her resentment at having always resided in his shadow, Angela looks for her missing emotional pieces in Dave’s “otherness” which results in a torrid, tumultuous, but temporary, bond and the unplanned birth of their child. A decade later, Jasmine lives in the affluent Fargo fold of Angela’s and Angela’s husband, Lars’ socially prominent families. Though Jasmine seems to have everything, she now is the one in search of missing pieces. Angela never speaks of Dave; Dave hasn’t had contact with their daughter since she was two-years old, and Jasmine wants to know why. The larger looming question is what, if any, part does Dave being Ojibwe play in Jasmine’s identity.When Rosella, an Ojibwe girl adopted at infancy by non-Native parents, moves to town, she and Jasmine become fast middle school friends. Together, they face off with mean girls armed with racial slurs, confront the complexity of first crushes, and, inevitably, explore Jasmine’s ever-growing need to know the truth about her mother, her legally adoptive father, and, most of all, Dave.As Jasmine pushes the search forward, Angela pulls back from her daughter and husband as the trauma and twisted urges of her youth re-awaken, and Angela pursues the elusive missing pieces she has yet to find. As mother and daughter unwittingly move closer to the same destination, secrets, lies, and raw realities threaten to destroy everyone involved. While some pieces are discovered, others will be lost forever, and Jasmine will be left to build who she truly is out of the ones that remain.

A Balanced Life

NEW RELEASE!

Pursuing a sport without the requisite talent can be considered foolish; pursuing it over decades can be considered borderline madness. In this lyrical memoir, Patricia Schultheis uses skating to examine the richness and constraints of her Catholic girlhood, the impact of the upheavals of the sixties on her young marriage, and how skating provided a release from the demands of marriage, motherhood, and a career. When a series of devastating losses, including the death of her husband, knocked her off her feet, she wondered if she could get up again. But skating had been a constant in her life for so long, she returned to the ice and discovered that features of the sport ~ its unpredictability, unexpected rewards, and many possibilities for grace ~ mirror those of life itself.

About the Author

Patricia Schultheis grew up in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the second of three daughters in a Polish-American family. Struck by polio when she was six years old, she became an introspective, anxious child who found release in reading and ice skating on neighborhood ponds. After graduating from Catholic schools and Albertus Magnus College in 1965, she moved to Baltimore in order to be near her beloved older sister. A week later she had her first date with the man to whom she was married for forty-one years. While raising their two sons, she worked in a variety of public rela-tions positions, including jobs with The Maryland Center for Public Broadcasting, Kiplinger Washington Editors, and The University of Maryland. But she had always wanted to be a writer, a goal she began pursuing forty years ago, when the now-defunct The Sun Magazine published her first article, a story about a local cheesecake entrepre-neur. Since then she has had nearly one hundred articles, essays and book reviews published, as well as two books. The unexpected death of her older sister at age fifty-five, followed soon by the deaths of her father and mother, prompted her to turn to more intimate forms of expression: the personal essay and fiction. Just as reading and ice skating had afforded her release as a child, these more in-depth forms served as avenues for her to explore her values, her relationships, and her mistakes and triumphs. They also formed the basis for A Balanced Life, which she wrote following the death of her husband. She continues to write and ice skate and to live in Baltimore, where she teaches in the Odyssey Program of Johns Hopkins University.

NEW RELEASE: Beyond the River of Shame

Authored by Ken Czech

"One hundred English pounds," bellowed a new bidder in a voice that echoed from the high curve of the dome.

Sam hadn't planned on attending a slave auction. He was, after all, on his way to unravel the riddle of the Nile River's sources. Seeing the beautiful and proud Florie offered on the auction block strikes a chord deep within. Sam quickly realizes that his noble attempt to save her presents a dilemma: the scandal will not only destroy his family and reputation in Victorian-era England, but will jeopardize his dreams of fame.

Young Florie von Sass is stunned when British explorer Sam Baker thunders the winning bid for her. Even more shocking is when Sam suddenly abandons her. With the Ottoman governor's slave catchers determined to return her to bondage, Florie desperately follows Sam on a haunting and perilous journey from the savage shores of the Black Sea to the uncharted heart of Central Africa.

Ken Czech's fictionalized account of this true story of Sam Baker and the woman he comes to love follows this unlikely pair into the depths of unknown Africa where they are enmeshed in a struggle against wild beasts, killer diseases, and the horrors of a slave trade that has spread its tentacles to the very headwaters of the Nile.
