Book excerpt: In The Last Great Road Bum, Héctor Tobar turns the peripatetic true story of a naive son of Urbana, Illinois, who died fighting with guerrillas in El Salvador into the great American novel for our times. Joe Sanderson died in pursuit of a life worth writing about. He was, in his words, a “road bum,” an adventurer and a storyteller, belonging to no place, people, or set of ideas. He was born into a childhood of middle-class contentment in Urbana, Illinois and died fighting with guerillas in Central America. With these facts, acclaimed novelist and journalist Héctor Tobar set out to write what would become The Last Great Road Bum. A decade ago, Tobar came into possession of the personal writings of the late Joe Sanderson, which chart Sanderson’s freewheeling course across the known world, from Illinois to Jamaica, to Vietnam, to Nigeria, to El Salvador—a life determinedly an adventure, ending in unlikely, anonymous heroism. The Last Great Road Bum is the great American novel Joe Sanderson never could have written, but did truly live—a fascinating, timely hybrid of fiction and nonfiction that only a master of both like Héctor Tobar could pull off.

Book excerpt: The delightful third book in the multimillion-copy internationally bestselling series Being up against the clock was a real problem for so many people, thought Hector. What could he possibly do to help them? First he tackled happiness. Then he took on love. And now Hector, our endearing young French psychiatrist, confronts the persistent march of time. His patients lament that there is not enough time in the day. Or they feel that life is passing them by. And in one case, a young boy turns the problem on its head: He's impatient to grow up! Hector himself is increasingly aware of time: He doesn't feel quite so young anymore, and the clock is ticking on his relationship with his beloved Clara. So as time flies, so does our wise and winsome hero in his latest adventure, traveling around the world to understand the past, the future, and how best to enjoy the present.

Book excerpt: A Junior Library Guild Selection! On June 16, 1976, Hector Pieterson, an ordinary boy, lost his life after getting caught up in what was supposed to be a peaceful protest. Black South African students were marching against a new law requiring that they be taught half of their subjects in Afrikaans, the language of the White government. The story’s events unfold from the perspectives of Hector, his sister, and the photographer who captured their photo in the chaos. This book can serve as a pertinent tool for adults discussing global history and race relations with children. Its graphic novel style and mixed media art portray the vibrancy and grit of Hector’s daily life and untimely death. Heartbreaking yet relevant, this powerful story gives voice to an ordinary boy and sheds light on events that helped lead to the end of apartheid.

Book excerpt: This book uses evolutionary psychology as a lens to explain religious violence and oppression. The author, a clinical psychologist, examines religious scriptures, rituals, and canon law, highlighting the many ways in which our evolutionary legacy has shaped the development of religion and continues to profoundly influence its expression. The book focuses on the image of God as the dominant male in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This traditional God concept is seen as a reflection of the “dominant ape” paradigm so evident in the hierarchical social structures of primates, with whom we have a strong genetic connection. The author describes the main features of male-dominated primate social hierarchies— specifically, the role of the alpha male as the protector of the group; his sexual dominance and use of violence and oppression to attain food, females, and territory; in-group altruism vs. out-group hostility (us vs. them); and displays of dominance and submission to establish roles within the social hierarchy. The parallels between these features of primate society and human religious rituals and concepts make it clear that religion, especially its oppressive and violent tendencies, is rooted in the deep evolutionary past. This incisive analysis goes a long way toward explaining the historic and ongoing violence committed in the name of religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man must confront a terrifying evil in this captivating horror novel that's "as much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz."* Haunted by memories of the Great War, failed academic Frank Nichols and his wife have arrived in the sleepy Georgia town of Whitbrow, where Frank hopes to write a history of his family's old estate--the Savoyard Plantation--and the horrors that occurred there. At first their new life seems to be everything they wanted. But under the facade of summer socials and small-town charm, there is an unspoken dread that the townsfolk have lived with for generations. A presence that demands sacrifice. It comes from the shadowy woods across the river, where the ruins of the Savoyard Plantation still stand. Where a long-smoldering debt of blood has never been forgotten. Where it has been waiting for Frank Nichols....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a society, a global perspective on relationships is not only valuable but needed. In “I Dare You to Tell the Truth.” Miss Peakock has given the reader a rarely seen glimpse into the vast diversity of male-female encounters. From the first to the last page, the “truthful” reader will identify with scenarios or encounters they experienced or someone they know experienced. For those wanting to develop a workable plan for achieving relationships that includes honesty, open communication and realistic goals, this book is a must read. I implore all to read this book in preparation for the relationship battles ahead. As the sayings go, “forewarned, is forearmed” AND “a word (or this book) to the wise is sufficient.” -Dr. Deborah A. Finley After reading Ginger Peakock’s new novel, “I Dare You to Tell the Truth.” The book is a must read as well as a great read, Real life experience; know your partner a little better before committing to them. Also pay attention to detail about a person because everybody won’t tell you the truth. -Author Carl Boddie These short stories will have you on the edge of your seat anticipating the surprising twists and turns that awaits you. Some even have life lessons that keep you thinking. Detailed, eventful and humorous I promise you these vignettes will leave you wanting to read on. -Cosmetologist Reason Ali Definitely one of those books that have a person say hmm? Lots of great conversation will be shared after reading this book. Everyone can relate to at least one of these characters. I Dare You to Tell the Truth. -Homemaker Lisa Fernandez It’s a very powerful version of true life stories, and a must read for all family members, couples, and singles alike. -Non-traditional college student Cassandra Royal I must say after reading the novel I Dare You to Tell the Truth, I was sitting in my chair as if I had my seat belt on. The novel captivated my attention, and I could not put it down. The novel focused on all aspects of relationships, family, identity, marriage, or meeting someone for the first time. I began asking myself a few serious questions, how well do you really know who someone is? Are people really living double lives, and how many had similar situations that are on the pages of this book, but dare to tell the truth? This novel was steamy, an attention grabber, a lesson in living, and most of all can be used as a motivational book in the dating arena. Congratulations this novel is “HOT”. -Ms. Sharon Robinson—Director

Book excerpt: This “Little Book” is about being present to the wonders that exist around us “At Ground Level,” discovering all that we fail to see when we spend so much of our lives chasing bigger, better, faster, more, endeavoring to fly higher. Everything else seems much more desirable around us than ourselves, or our life and loves, after a long day at the slug farm. When do we decide how to proceed with the life we have built thus far: Joy, Passion, Marriage, Divorce, Suicide, Enlightenment? Choices we have made. What if you built from a place of strength rather than always feeling diminished and unfulfilled? A life built upon the life you have, rather than the elusive life you imagine, yet fear. Build a great life in balance with your best self and your nurtured relationships. Transformation is seeing the hidden gems that truly exist in plain sight. We have all heard someone say, “The grass is greener on the other side.” Is it? Most of us were 4 or 5 years old when the belief structure we made with life set in: I am stupid, I am weak, I don’t deserve, etc. We engaged believing that we should spend our lives proving that we are who we believe everyone else thinks we are. Breaking the cycle of doubt is essential. Loving “self ” is the first love. “The grass is greenest where you are!” visit us at www.GaryFinnan.com

Book excerpt: Sadie Townsend is known by all as The Ice Princess, and she’s worked hard to earn her reputation. Her father, a now-incarcerated Drug Lord, has kept her under his thumb her whole life, and she’s learned enough from living in his world to give everyone the cold shoulder. But one inebriated night, she shows Hector the Real Sadie, and he knows he’ll stop at nothing to have her. Hector Chavez makes one (huge) mistake: he waits for Sadie to come to him. Tragedy strikes and Sadie’s got a choice. She can retreat behind her Ice Fortress, or she can embrace the Rock Chick/Hot Bunch World. Guided by Hector, the Rock Chicks, the Hot Bunch and her new roommates, Buddy and Ralphie, Sadie negotiates a life out from under her father’s thumb. A life that includes poison, arson and learning how to make s’mores.
