Books with title The queen of Sheba

The kingdoms of IT and DUN exist side by side, yet neither knows about the other. It's only when a terrible illness threatens the kingdom of DUN that the princes Lugh, Robyn, and Sampson must venture beyond the borders of their land in search of the one thing that might save their people. When they enter the kingdom of IT they discover a land entirely unlike their own. Though they have their mission to carry out for their own people, they find that IT is in need of heroes as well.

As an adult, National Public Radio foreign correspondent Jacki Lyden has spent her life on the front lines of some of the world?s most dangerous war zones. As a child, she lived in a war zone of a different kind. Her mother, Dolores, suffered from what is now called manic depression; but when Jacki was growing up in a small Midwestern town, Dolores was simply called crazy. In her manic phases, Dolores became Marie Antoinette or the Queen of Sheba, exotically delusional and frightening, yet to young Jacki also transcendent, even inspiring. In time, Jacki grew to accept, even relish, Dolores?s bizarre episodes, marveling at her mother?s creative energy and using it to fuel her own. Heartbreaking, hilarious, and lyrical, this memoir of a mother-daughter relationship is a testimony to obstinate devotion in the face of bewildering illness.
