Immaculate conception : a novel / by Huang, Ling Ling,1989-author(CARDINAL)866329;
"From the author of Natural Beauty: Set in the fiercely competitive art world, a novel about an obsessive friendship upended by a cutting-edge technology purported to enhance empathy and connection. Enka meets Mathilde in art school. Mathilde is a dizzyingly talented yet tortured artist whose star is on the rise-and Enka, struggling to make art that feels original, is immediately drawn to her. The two strike up a close friendship that soon turns codependent. But when Mathilde's fame reaches new heights, Enka becomes desperate to keep her best friend close-no matter the cost. Enka quickly falls in love with and marries a billionaire whose family's company is funding a cutting-edge technology purported to enhance empathy, and which could allow someone else to inhabit Mathilde's mind and absorb the trauma from her brain. Soon, the boundaries between Mathilde and Enka begin to blur even further, setting in motion a haunting series of events that forever change their lives. Blisteringly smart, thought-provoking, and shocking, IMMACULATE CONCEPTION deftly navigates big questions of art, technology, authorship, and what makes us human. Ling Ling Huang offers us a portrait of close friendship-achingly tender and twisted-that captures the tenuous line between love and possession, and that will haunt you long after you turn the final page." --

Birthing the miraculous / by Baker, Heidi,1959-(CARDINAL)412727;
"God has promised us miracles. Are you willing to do what it takes to see them through? We all desire the favor of God on our lives. We eagerly pray and hope for God's promises and blessings, especially when they come in the form of cash or a promotion. But carrying the promises of God often means being inconvenienced, being stretched, and being patient to nourish those promises until it is God's time for you to give birth to them. The result of the process is a miraculous demonstration of God's power to bring change on the earth. In Birthing the Miraculous, Heidi Baker weaves true stories from her life and ministry together with the biblical story of Mary's pregnancy with Jesus to show readers how to carry the promises of God in their own lives, becoming a catalyst for God's glory here on earth"--"God has promised us miracles.

Cradle and all / by Patterson, James,1947-(CARDINAL)320355;
In the midst of a series of unexplained plagues and famines, two teenage girls are heavily pregnant, despite being virgins. According to the sacred prophecies of Fatima, one will bear the child of Christ and the other, the spawn of Satan. Both Anne Fitzgerald, a former nun turned private detective, and the Vatican's Father Rosetti are sent to investigate. But which girl carries which child? The possibility of a miracle will be tainted with great suffering before the awful, unexpected truth is revealed. As the action moves speedily from the hallowed halls of the Vatican to the media frenzy of America to the small-town hysteria of Ireland, Patterson divines considerable suspense from the novel's central premise, tackling issues of faith with admirable aplomb.

The red market : on the trail of the world's organ brokers, bone thieves, blood farmers, and child traffickers / by Carney, Scott M.,1969-(CARDINAL)499636;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-245) and index.Body alchemy -- The bone factory -- Kidney prospecting -- Meet the parents -- Immaculate conception -- Cash on delivery -- Blood money -- The clinical labor of guinea pigs -- Immortal promises -- Black gold.A shocking tour through a macabre global underworld where organs, bones, and live people are bought and sold on the red market. Investigative journalist Scott Carney has spent five years tracing the lucrative and deeply secretive trade in human bodies and body parts. The Red Market reveals the rise, fall, and resurgence of this multibillion-dollar underground trade through history, from early medical study and modern universities to poverty-ravaged Eurasian villages and high-tech Western labs; from body snatchers and surrogate mothers to skeleton dealers and the poor who sell body parts to survive. While local and international law enforcement have cracked down on the market, advances in science have increased the demand for human tissue--ligaments, kidneys, even rented space in women's wombs--leaving little room to consider the ethical dilemmas inherent in the flesh-and-blood trade.--From publisher description.
