Book excerpt: A gripping portrait of a teen’s struggles through grief and abuse - and the miraculous power of animals to heal us. (Age 14 and up) After her veterinarian dad dies, sixteen-year-old Iris Wight must leave her beloved Maine to live on a North Carolina farm with her hardbitten aunt and a cousin she barely knows. Iris, a vegetarian and animal lover, immediately clashes with Aunt Sue, who mistreats the livestock, spends Iris’s small inheritance, and thinks nothing of striking Iris for the smallest offense. Things come to a head when Iris sets two young goats free to save them from slaughter, and an enraged Aunt Sue orders her brutish son, Book, to beat Iris senseless - a horrific act that lands Book and his mother in jail. Sent to live with an offbeat foster family and their "dooking" ferrets, Iris must find a way to take care of the animals back at the farm, even if it means confronting Aunt Sue. Powerful and deeply moving, this compelling novel affirms the redemptive power of animals and the resilience of the human spirit.

Book excerpt: If farce follows tragedy, what follows farce? Where does the double predicament of a post-truth and post-shame politics leave artists and critics on the left? How to demystify a hegemonic order that dismisses its own contradictions? How to belittle a political elite that cannot be embarrassed, or to mock party leaders who thrive on the absurd? How to out-dada President Ubu? And, in any event, why add outrage to a media economy that thrives on the same? What Comes After Farce? comments on shifts in art, criticism, and fiction in the face of the current regime of war, surveillance, extreme inequality, and media disruption. A first section focuses on the cultural politics of emergency since 9/11, including the use and abuse of trauma, paranoia, and kitsch. A second reviews the neoliberal makeover of art institutions during the same period. Finally, a third section surveys transformations in media as reflected in recent art, film, and fiction. Among the phenomena explored here are "machine vision" (images produced by machines for other machines without a human interface),"operational images" (images that do not represent the world so much as intervene in it), and the algorithmic scripting of information so pervasive in our everyday lives.

Book excerpt: From the beloved author of the MR. TERUPT and PERFECT SCORE series comes this stand-alone middle-grade novel about a girl who is dealing with the tragic loss of her best friend, and the dog that helps her forge new friendships and find happiness once again. Twelve-year-old Thea and her family are moving to a new town for a fresh start--her parents' bright idea. To Thea, it feels like running away. She lost her best friend, Charlie, in a tragic accident, and in the painful aftermath, she has gone mute. Her two younger sisters, however, are excited about moving, especially after their dad promises that the family will get a rescue puppy. This doesn't change Thea's mind, though, until Jack-Jack bounds into her life and makes it clear that he is no ordinary dog. As she bonds with Jack-Jack, and as the dog's mischievous ways steer her toward someone she can confide in, Thea opens up to the possibility of new friendships and forgiveness, and comes to believe in what cannot be fully explained.

Book excerpt: Eliza Davis' new home is everything she wanted-community, a sense of belonging, a fresh start. An added bonus was living with her best friend, Simone, and befriending a jilted groom whose wedding day disaster she was witness to. But, Jack Peters was not someone to be pitied. Sarcastic, caring, and, most importantly, in love with her daughter, Jack helps take Eliza's mind off the pain of her past and allows her to just have fun. But, small towns are known for meddling, and everyone assumes there's more to Eliza and Jack than the two can see. Eliza is adamant that they're just friends. Even if he makes her daughter laugh again. Even if he comes over to chase ghosts out of the attic without a second thought. Even if he makes her heart squeeze in ways she forgot. Just. Friends. Content Warning: Depictions of anxiety and grief after losing a loved one.

Book excerpt: One man infiltrates the dark web to stop a sadistic game: A Booklist 101 Best Crime Novels of the Past Decade, from the New York Times–bestselling author. Adrian Thomas is a psychology professor whose career was spent delving into damaged minds. Diagnosed with a fatal degenerative disease that is causing hallucinations and stripping him of his memories, Adrian wants to end his life—until he sees a girl snatched off the street and dragged screaming into the back of a van. Dismissed as an unreliable witness, Adrian must act alone. He knows what he saw, but he has no idea how dark it’s going to get. Out of the basement of their Massachusetts farmhouse, a sadistic husband and wife run a website called What Comes Next. A global audience of subscribers is tuning in to watch an ongoing nightmare inflicted in real time—and to cast their votes on the fate of the kidnappers’ latest catch. For victim Number Four, time is running out. “An experience akin to riding the scariest roller coaster,” What Comes Next is a bold and timely thriller about what lurks within the depths of society’s most depraved minds (New York Journal of Books). “Powerful . . . fiendish . . . This is an exceptional novel—and a most troubling one.” —The Washington Post “Draw[s] you deeper and deeper into a chilling atmosphere of evil, darkness, and shadows.” —The Miami Herald “[A] re-imagining of The Pit and the Pendulum for the digital age.” —Kirkus Reviews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By foregrounding the ways that human existence is bound together with the lives of other entities, contemporary cultural theorists have sought to move beyond an anthropocentric worldview. Yet as Eva Haifa Giraud contends in What Comes after Entanglement?, for all their conceptual power in implicating humans in ecologically damaging practices, these theories can undermine scope for political action. Drawing inspiration from activist projects between the 1980s and the present that range from anticapitalist media experiments and vegan food activism to social media campaigns against animal research, Giraud explores possibilities for action while fleshing out the tensions between theory and practice. Rather than an activist ethics based solely on relationality and entanglement, Giraud calls for what she describes as an ethics of exclusion, which would attend to the entities, practices, and ways of being that are foreclosed when other entangled realities are realized. Such an ethics of exclusion emphasizes foreclosures in the context of human entanglement in order to foster the conditions for people to create meaningful political change.

Book excerpt: We know everyone dies, but then what? Our world can offer plenty of theories and opinions about the afterlife: reincarnation, oblivion, judgment, purgatory, Heaven, Nirvana, and Hell, to list only the well known ones. But what's true and what's not? Can we afford to be surprised? Do we really want to be surprised, especially when there is reliable information about it? The Bible calls God's promises about the afterlife "hope", but Christian hope is more than just a happy wish. It is a confident expectation; and it's basic to Christian motivation, obedience, and perseverance. But the specifics of this hope often get muddled in the midst of a modern jumble of religious ideas. "Next?" is a careful study of the wonderful Christian hope found in the Bible. It was written to be read and understood by a wide audience as it deals honestly and kindly with even sensitive subjects.Park Linscomb has been a minister of the church of Christ for over 40 years in the mission field of New England. He holds a BA in Bible from Lubbock Christian University and a MSHS in Counseling and Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University. Beyond Bible study and ministry, he has active sid-interests in Biblical archaeology, psychology, technology, and family. He is married (Linda) and has a son (Adam), daughter-in-law (Meri) and two wonderful grandsons (Jackson and Jordan).

In misty, coastal Washington State, Isaac lives alone with his dog, grieving the recent death of his teenage son, Daniel. Next door, Lorrie, a working single mother, struggles with a heinous act committed by her own teenage son. Separated by only a silvery stretch of trees, the two parents are emotionally stranded, isolated by their great losses—until an unfamiliar sixteen-year-old girl shows up, bridges the gap, and changes everything. Evangeline’s arrival at first feels like a blessing, but she is also clearly hiding something. When Isaac, who has retreated into his Quaker faith, isn’t equipped to handle her alone, Lorrie forges her own relationship with the girl. Soon all three characters are forced to examine what really happened in their overlapping pasts, and what it all possibly means for a shared future. With a propulsive mystery at its core, What Comes After offers an unforgettable story of loss and anger, but also of kindness and hope, courage and forgiveness. It is a deeply moving account of strangers and friends not only helping each other forward after tragedy but inspiring a new kind of family.

Leaving the unfulfilling and confusing new world of online dating behind, recently widowed Eleanor Brown is determined to rekindle her love of travel and indulge in some quiet introspection when she agrees to house-sit for an absent billionaire. At fifty, handsome bachelor Sebastian Greyson lives life on his own terms, eschewing relationships in favour of a rotating door of faceless women. Extremely protective of his personal space, he nevertheless agrees to let a stranger mind his house. A personal phone call sparks Sebastian’s interest, and when he presents Eleanor with a gift she simply cannot refuse, their relationship goes from heated to scorching—but is it hot enough to survive the attractive and highly motivated neighbour? This spicy, second chance at love, contemporary standalone promises a happily-ever-after and is intended for mature readers. It contains voyeurism, self-gratification and consensual intimacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This riveting memoir tells the story of a Montreal woman's experience after being diagnosed… Walking us through the lengthy, challenging process of the cure, the book offers an insider's view of a life-threatening disease and survival.” Award-winning writer Claire Holden Rothman “A moving story of a cancer survivor, written from the heart.” Award-winning writer Joan Hall Hovey “You are my miracle patient, having beaten all statistics and made liars out of us doctors,” my surgeon pronounced… Do you know someone or are you living with cancer or critical illness, exhausted by treatments, confronting death, or struggling in recovery? Patricia Rodi’s memoir about surviving Stage IIIB Stomach Cancer will inform and inspire patients, family, and friends. A decade into remission, Patricia decided to put the experience on paper. She shares intimate details about her grim prognosis, risky surgery, grueling treatments, and the long road to recovery. In her thirties at the time of the diagnosis, independent and strong, she received a crash course in humility and how to ask for support during the most difficult period in her life. As other members of her large, extended family fell ill with cancer, her thoughts turned to cancer awareness and prevention, and the hope that her daughter would be spared. Patricia hopes this must-read book will inspire and encourage patients with advanced-stage illnesses, not only to accept the alterations that illness and treatment bring, but to thrive with the changes. Surrendering to treatment brought not only physical healing, but humility and wisdom about life. People are stronger than they know. She was stronger than she knew. Through stories of peer mentoring with cancer organizations, Patricia encourages volunteering. Survivors of cancer are uniquely placed to help others facing the illness. And for Patricia, helping others has been the lynch pin to survival and thriving. She also discusses the determination she mustered to write this book and get it out into the world, to leave a legacy her daughter can be proud of.

Book excerpt: Fast-paced, warm, and laugh-out-loud funny, What Comes After Crazy chronicles a quest for normalcy that nearly drives a woman nuts. Maz Lombard craves a nice, quiet life—and who can blame her? Having grown up as the daughter of Madame Lucille, “Fortune Teller to the Stars,” she spent her Southern childhood traveling from town to town, wondering which of the many men her mother brought home would become her next stepfather (in a long line of stepfathers). Maz’s soon-to-be-ex-husband Lenny left for Santa Fe after his very public affair with a fetching young daycare teacher imploded. And Maz’s daughter Hope has become convinced she’s inherited the family “seeing” gene and is scaring her classmates with séances and dark prophecies. When Lenny shows up on the doorstep wanting another chance, and Madame Lucille pulls into town with her newest husband, any chance Maz has for a simple, ordinary life seems to go out the window. But is life at its craziest also at its most instructive? Will seeing her family in all its complicated, infuriating, and mystifying splendor enable Maz to define herself on her own terms and live the life she’s always wanted? Delightful, rollicking, but most of all unforgettably touching, What Comes After Crazy marks the debut of a radiant new talent in women’s fiction.
