Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An extraordinary look at privilege, discrimination, and the fallacy of post-racial America by the renowned Pulitzer Prize–winning cultural critic Jefferson takes us into an insular and discerning society: “I call it Negroland,” she writes, “because I still find ‘Negro’ a word of wonders, glorious and terrible.” Margo Jefferson was born in 1947 into upper-crust black Chicago. Her father was head of pediatrics at Provident Hospital, while her mother was a socialite. Negroland’s pedigree dates back generations, having originated with antebellum free blacks who made their fortunes among the plantations of the South. It evolved into a world of exclusive sororities, fraternities, networks, and clubs—a world in which skin color and hair texture were relentlessly evaluated alongside scholarly and professional achievements, where the Talented Tenth positioned themselves as a third race between whites and “the masses of Negros,” and where the motto was “Achievement. Invulnerability. Comportment.” Jefferson brilliantly charts the twists and turns of a life informed by psychological and moral contradictions, while reckoning with the strictures and demands of Negroland at crucial historical moments—the civil rights movement, the dawn of feminism, the falsehood of post-racial America.

But this summer, Sunshine and Margot will turn disasters into destiny… As an etiquette coach, Margot teaches her clients to fit in. But she’s never faced a client like Bianca, an aging movie star who gained fame—and notoriety—through a campaign of shock and awe. Schooling Bianca on the fine art of behaving like a proper diplomat’s wife requires intensive lessons, forcing Margot to move into the monastery turned mansion owned by the actress’s intensely private son. Like his incredible home, Alec’s stony exterior hides secret depths Margot would love to explore. But will he trust her enough to let her in? Sunshine has always been the good-time sister, abandoning jobs to chase after guys who used her, then threw her away. No more. She refuses to be “that girl” again. This time, she’ll finish college, dedicate herself to her job as a nanny, and she 100 percent will not screw up her life again by falling for the wrong guy. Especially not the tempting single dad who also happens to be her boss. Master storyteller Susan Mallery weaves threads of family drama, humor, romance and a wish-you-were-there setting into one of the most satisfying books of the year! Don't miss The Happiness Plan, a new novel coming from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery where three women experience hope, heartache, and the power of friendship as they search for true happiness!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between rockstars and fae Lords, what’s a girl to do? Margot Tanner has had a crush on Ash Stonewall since she was 15. Though close with her cousin Niklaus Hodges and drummer Timothy Green, the elusive Ash has always been just a step out of reach. Years later, Margot is the stage manager for the band Stone Dragons as they tour the country, but she is tired of longing for the unattainable Ash. With the gentle encouragement of Nik and Tim, she attends an afterparty and meets the mysterious Tobin Fetch. Their instant connection is a surprise, but even more shocking are the fairy wings that suddenly erupt from her back after exchanging a few kisses in a dark room. Ash Stonewall has enjoyed hiding among the humans, following his father’s decree to stay out of fae politics. However, the temptation of Margot Tanner has always been troublesome, and he dreads the day someone discovers Margot’s untapped potential. Now that Tobin has unlocked her true identity, Ash has to decide what is more important: hiding his true nature as a fae Lord and maintaining his rock star identity or revealing himself and claiming Margot as his own to protect her from fae who would abuse her gifts. Tobin Fetch always has a plan, but he never expected to stumble across an Unclaimed fae at an afterparty. Never one to ignore such a boon, Tobin is quick to free her powers, launching her into the fae world, but he never expected to want her for his own. Bound by loyalties in every direction, Tobin must decide how far he is willing to go to protect this newfound treasure. Caught in the middle of forces she barely understands, not to mention a band tour that seems to attract more and more frenzied fans, Margot must find her place in a world where everyone answers to someone. In this strange hierarchy, where does Margot belong?

When Kate threatens to leave with their son if the abuse doesn't stop, David promises to kill her if she does and then whispers a shocking secret that she's not sure she even believes. Discouraged by ineffective legal remedies, Kate flees with their son to another city and takes on a new identity. While David searches for clues to their whereabouts, he is questioned by a police detective who has new leads in a baffling homicide investigation. David and the detective both race against time in their respective pursuits. A Simple Choice is a gripping story of how the human spirit can be paralyzed by fear and doubt, yet set free by a simple choice. It touches the place within each of us that cries out for hope, courage, and freedom.

Her fiancé does not want to help her with the farm either. He has his eye on a city career as an Accountant. To top off her growing list of problems there was an Indian burial ground found in the middle of the family peach orchard. That has caused a great controversy over the find and the province has called for a big-time archaeologist to come and verify the find. Instead of a crusty old guy, the archaeologist turns out to be a handsome, green-eyed, arrogant fellow who has purchased her farm and wants her to run it for him. Sparks fly as well as conflicts between Sylvia and the archaeologist, her boring fiancé who seems to enjoy her sisters company more than her own. For the first time Sylvia's own dreams may finally be within reach.
