Synopsis Starlight and Stargazers by : Helena Goscilo
Celebrification has thrived for centuries in literature, theater, music, and other cultural spheres, as vividly illustrated by Byron, Sarah Bernhardt, and Paganini. It especially effloresced in cinema after the symbolically named Lumière brothers pioneered movies as light-projected “moving life” to be contemplated and shared in the intimate darkness of theaters. Actors and actresses such as Valentino and Garbo acquired the status of divine beings whose life on and offscreen stimulated fascination and a passionate devotion most frequently invested in religious figures. The recent explosion in social media has only amplified immeasurably the scale and intensity of that adulation. Yearning for the seemingly transcendent, fans as mere mortals seek contact with celebrities as objects of worship that, like nocturnal stars, are simultaneously remote yet accessible. Starlight and Stargazers examines the multifaceted nature and specific manifestations of film celebrification in Czechoslovakia/the Czech Republic, Poland, Soviet Russia/Russia, and Ukraine before and after 1991

Synopsis Morning Star (Starlight Trilogy Book #3) by : Marian Wells
Out of her dark childhood memories, her fascination with the spirit world and her conversion to Mormonism, Jenny has been slowly but surely groping toward spiritual light and truth. Her young husband Mark has gone through his own sometimes painful spiritual journey and been soundly converted to Christ. His faithful witness, more through his life than actual words, brings Jenny to the choice which helps to break the chains of spiritual bondage and bring her to the feet of the only true "Morning Star," Jesus himself. Here is historical fiction in the best sense--accurate setting and powerful characters, bringing the reader to a new understanding of Mormonism's roots and the spirit world.
