Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock

    Bonnie-Sue Hitchcocková čerpá inspiraci pro svou tvorbu z dlouhé rodinné historie na Aljašce. Její zkušenosti z komerčního rybolovu a práce novinářky pro Aljašské veřejné rádio ji hluboce ovlivnily. Zaměřuje se na témata spojená s životem na Aljašce a domorodými obyvateli, přičemž její styl odráží autentičnost a respekt k tomuto prostředí. Hitchcocková svým psaním zprostředkovává jedinečné perspektivy a sílu života v drsné, ale krásné krajině.

      Alaska, 1970: growing up here is like nowhere else. Ruth wants to be remembered by her grieving mother. Dora wishes she was invisible to her abusive father. Alyce is staying at home to please her parents. Hank is running away for the sake of his brothers. Four very different lives are about to become entangled. Because if we don't save each other, how can we begin to save ourselves? Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock's extraordinary, stunning debut is both moving, and deeply authentic. These intertwining stories of love, tragedy, wild luck, and salvation on the edge of America's Last Frontier introduce a writer of rare and wonderful talent.

      Filled with wit, humor, and clear metaphor, this exploration into atheism is written specifically for young adults, though any adult interested in learning more about atheism will find value within. Not just focused on atheism, this crash course in logical thinking addresses the issues of indoctrination, whether it be religious, political, or commercial, and makes the case that morality is created through reasoning and logic, not through divine communication. Many hot topics are touched upon, such as traditional arguments for God’s existence, the relationship of evolution and religious belief, the incompatible nature of science and religion, and the harmfulness of both Christianity and Islam.
