The word, 'salience,' originally comes from the Latin, 'salio,' meaning to leap, or spring. Gradually, over the centuries, it has taken on its present meaning of, 'particularly noticeable or prominent.' Billy Garth, the hero of my novel that bears this title, experiences colors and sounds taking unusual prominence in his mind and distorting his senses during the last year of high school. Only after a long struggle does he understand that they are symptoms of his illness, schizophrenia. Billy is endowed with strength of body and character, as well as a noble and adventurous spirit. His journey takes him through masonry work in the hot sun, a police arrest, court hearings and stays at both a forensic correctional facility and a state mental hospital. He's joined by a host of characters; some educated, some ignorant, some violent, others non-violent; those fated to endure a lifetime of suffering, and a few, like Billy, chosen to move on, becoming stronger, wiser and self-aware.

In this memoir, the author looks back to how even as she grew up thinking and speaking Cebuano, a major language in the Philippines, she somehow found her first literary voice in the poems she wrote in English, the language of instruction in the educational system she attended. She traces how her poetic self-expression in English soon evolved into writing personal essays through high school and college and how this progressed into writing academic articles to keep her teaching position at a university in the Philippines. She then narrates how her academic writing background incalculably facilitated her career as a government researcher and college instructor during more than 3 decades of her 43-year permanent residency in Canada. Interweaving the stories of her writing experience with recollections of family and work-life in the Philippines and Canada, she draws her journey to a full circle with her once again writing literary pieces and putting them together in the three memoirs she had self-published since 2019.

According to the Scriptures, the entrance of Your Word gives light, and indeed it does, our Father. We are illuminated. Now, we know things we didn't know, we understand things we didn't understand and our world-view continues to be clarified. We see things the way they are. One of the most interesting ways to understand what a particular society is, is to look at how women are treated. The denial of the positive role of feminine is a great disservice to humanity. A woman in her manifestation is the symbol of unity of life in nature. As a matter of fact, nature in its essence celebrates the role of motherhood. For instance, in the animal kingdom, feminine species are honoured, but in the case of humanity feminine species are treated with disdain and humiliation. Throughout her life the woman will be remembered by disappointments, failures and sorrows. This book aims at making the reader take a critical look at the curse of pain that is pronounced on woman and its implication on motherhood, the negative impact of the curse which leads to the suffering of motherhood, the stigma of barrenness and how the curse has made life in general a hell for motherhood.
The Divine Role of Woman in God's creation stipulates that the woman occupies an important place in the mind of God and man ought to appreciate this truth. The divine role of women confirms the important bond between mother and child, since the survival of the foetus depends solely on the motherhood. The mother to a large extent connects the human body, all growth and changes as well as continuity. She is the mother who brings forth life. She is the power of fertility and generation. She receives the seed into her womb, the first home of every human being. The woman has been given the divine power to help man succeed in life. The role of the mother is to influence people positively, her entire family. It is a blessing and a responsibility to nurture and sustain the family. The two women who changed the world history are Eve and Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus. For God to send His son to save the world, He chose the Virgin Mary as a perfect medium to bring forth Jesus Christ, His son into the world that through Him the whole world would be saved. The mystery is that it took the wisdom of a woman to bring a rebellious son back to his father. It is the duty of mothers to bring their vagabond children back to their fathers. We do not have to scare them away, but rather our wisdom as women to bring such children back home. The mother is the manager of the home. How we manage the home is really important in the upbringing of our children in the fear of the Lord.
