Labour of Love takes you along a journey, through the experiences and life, of a young Caribbean woman, searching for love and validation in the things of the world. Over time, her journey takes her on one of self discovery and self mastery, as her skin changes and her physical appearance gives her the look of someone she could no longer recognized. Her new outward appearance, causes her to look deeper at who she was on the inside, and search the heart of God to see where he truly wanted her to be, and discover who he called her to be, even before she discovered this herself. As you walk through this journey with her, she will take you through nine chapters, almost to mimic the pregnancy and birthing process of a woman carrying a baby. Her story will take you along the path of her childhood, into her adulthood, to share with you how trauma affects our choices, how mistakes make room for motivation, and how Pain will bring you to your place of PURPOSE.

"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart) The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged. Each volume features: * Authoritative, reliable texts * High quality introductions and notes * New, more readable trade trim size * An essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts
