The meaning of Two Chairs was birthed after many years of therapy, my continued belief that life could be better, and the development of my relationship with God. To me, this meant that God was good and that his sole purpose was to help me and love me. This is when I forgave others of the harm that was done to me and any harm that I caused others. **"...Now before all of this happened, I can recall vivid memories of being molested when I was just a little girl. Iwas around two years old. I remember someone telling me that what was happening to me was a game and we wereplaying doctor. I associated this playtime with love because I can't remember anyone holding or cuddling me outside ofthis interaction and of being lonely."

Twisted Words: Torture and Liberalism in Imperial Britain examines torture across the fiction, periodicals, and government documents of the British Empire in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Placing acts of torture and words about torture in relation to changing definitions of citizenship and human rights, Katherine Judith Anderson argues that torture-as a technique of state terrorism-evolved in relation to nineteenth-century liberalism, combining the traditional definition of exceptional acts of cruelty with systemic, banal, or everyday violence. Analyzing canonical novels by George Eliot, Anthony Trollope, and George Meredith alongside an impressive array of lesser-known fiction through the lenses of critical terrorism studies and political, legal, and phenomenological theory, Anderson rethinks torture as a mode of reclaiming an embodied citizenship and demonstrates how the Victorians ushered in our modern definition of torture. Furthermore, she argues that torture is foundational to Western modernity, since liberalism was, and continues to be, dependent on state-sanctioned--and at times state-sponsored-torture, establishing parallels between Victorian liberal thought and contemporary (neo)imperialism and global politics.

Each section tells a different story about the Moon and usually address one of two key questions: How did the Moon become so subtly influential in our lives and more importantly why is the Moon so essential to all life of Earth. Together, they've form a collection of afterthoughts that will give us pause the next time we look up at the Moon. Perhaps we'll see it differently. Perhaps we'll see ourselves differently.
