Book Description
Amanda Springs has always known that she was adopted. As a young child, her adoptive parents gave her children's books about girls who "were not expected, but were selected." Her adoptive parents always made Amanda feel like an extraordinary daughter. However, finding her birth parents was something she wanted to pursue, but initially, she had little success. Her discovery and the journey begin when she is given DNA test kits from Ancestry.com and 23andMe by an attorney. The DNA results are confusing—a list of people she doesn't know. With the help of a genetic genealogist, her "Angel," she goes on a journey to meet those who are most closely related. Amanda is stunned to learn that she has a twin sister and many other closely related relatives. She learns the true story of why she was adopted. And marvels at the lives of those in her biological family. Her life will never be the same.

Book Description
"Both a wicked satire of the literary élite and an exploration of art and violence . . . Terrifying, brilliant, and dangerous." —The New Yorker Mona, a Peruvian writer based in California, presents a tough and sardonic exterior. She likes drugs and cigarettes, and when she learns that she is something of an anthropological curiosity—a woman writer of color treasured at her university for the flourish of rarefied diversity she brings—she pokes fun at American academic culture and its fixation on identity. When she is nominated for “the most important literary award in Europe,” Mona sees a chance to escape her downward spiral of sunlit substance abuse and erotic distraction, so she trades the temptations of California for a small, gray village in Sweden, close to the Arctic Circle. Now she is stuck in the company of all her jet-lagged—and mostly male—competitors, arriving from Japan, France, Armenia, Iran, and Colombia. Isolated as they are, the writers do what writers do: exchange compliments, nurse envy and private resentments, stab rivals in the back, and hop in bed together. All the while, Mona keeps stumbling across the mysterious traces of a violence she cannot explain. As her adventures in Scandinavia unfold, Mona finds that she has not so much escaped her demons as locked herself up with them in the middle of nowhere. In Mona, Pola Oloixarac paints a hypnotic, scabrous, and ultimately jaw-dropping portrait of a woman facing down a hipster elite to which she does and does not belong. A survivor of both patronization and bizarre sexual encounters, Mona is a new kind of feminist. But her past won’t stay past, and strange forces are working to deliver her the test of a lifetime.

Book Description
Amanda's voice is a journey of trauma, tragedy and forgiveness. It is the story of a massacre of an entire family--with the exception of one sibling, teenager Amanda Bennett. In this book, her grandmother, Eileen Bennett, a retired newspaper reporter, relates the story of the murders in chilling detail--the May 2006 night that Amanda lost her mother, Wendy, 35; brother Scotty, 12; and sister Melanie, 6. Their husband and father, Scott, Sr., 40, had shot them as they slept before turning the gun on himself. It is through Amanda, who lives her life with the strength, dignity and forgiveness rarely seen in one so young, that the rest of the family finds hope and forgiveness. For Eileen and her husband Chick, a retired police officer, it is a journey that leads them to the New Jersey Statehouse in 2007, where they joined other victims's families, me and other anti-death penalty advocates in the successful move to abolish the death penalty in New Jersey. What could have been a story of revenge and bitterness instead tells the tale of the power of forgiveness in the human spirit.--P. [4] of cover.
