Book Description
"Like Whitehead’s The Intuitionist, Alyssa Cole’s When No One Is Watching or Zakiya Dalila Harris’ The Other Black Girl, Reprieve straddles genres in the best possible way. . . . Sure to spark conversation and debate at book clubs across the land." –LOS ANGELES TIMES “An eventual American classic that is unrelenting in its beauty and incisive cultural critique.” – KIESE LAYMON Recommended by New York Times • Los Angeles Times • NPR • Today • Esquire • O Quarterly • Boston Globe • Chicago Tribune • Harper’s Bazaar • Shondaland • Thrillist • The Millions • Crimereads • XTRA • Tor • Literary Hub • and more! A chilling and blisteringly relevant literary novel of social horror centered around a brutal killing that takes place in a full-contact haunted escape room—a provocative exploration of capitalism, hate politics, racial fetishism, and our obsession with fear as entertainment. On April 27, 1997, four contestants make it to the final cell of the Quigley House, a full-contact haunted escape room in Lincoln, Nebraska, made famous for its monstrosities, booby-traps, and ghoulishly costumed actors. If the group can endure these horrors without shouting the safe word, “reprieve,” they’ll win a substantial cash prize—a startling feat accomplished only by one other group in the house’s long history. But before they can complete the challenge, a man breaks into the cell and kills one of the contestants. Those who were present on that fateful night lend their points of view: Kendra Brown, a teenager who’s been uprooted from her childhood home after the sudden loss of her father; Leonard Grandton, a desperate and impressionable hotel manager caught in a series of toxic entanglements; and Jaidee Charoensuk, a gay international student who came to the United States in a besotted search for his former English teacher. As each character’s journey unfurls and overlaps, deceit and misunderstandings fueled by obsession and prejudice are revealed, forcing all to reckon with the ways in which their beliefs and actions contributed to a horrifying catastrophe. An astonishingly soulful exploration of complicity and masquerade, Reprieve combines the psychological tension of classic horror with searing social criticism to present an unsettling portrait of this tangled American life.

Book Description
My Daily Reprieve is a practical journal for those in recovery looking to work their 10th and 11th steps more thoroughly. It contains 13 weeks/3 months worth of daily reflection for both the morning and the evening. There's something just so special about pouring your soul onto the fresh pages of a good journal. Especially in this age of a constant connection to technology, there's something more personal, more meaningful about putting a pen in your hand and putting it down on paper. And there's nothing more personal than taking your own inventory on a daily basis. And here is where My Daily Reprieve steps in. I decided to create the ultimate 10th and 11th step journal because I was craving a space where I could let it all, out, look at behavior and emotional patterns, and see how I'm growing, learning and experiencing life. I'm really excited about this and really excited to share it with the world. The Big Book says that the spiritual life isn't a theory, that it's something that we have to live, and the goal of this journal is to assist us in doing that in a real way. I hope you are able to use this to further your journey in your recovery. Good luck, have fun, and ask yourself this, how free do you want to be?

Book Description
In his book “Reprieve from Hell,” former M/Sgt. Sam Moody has recorded in faithful detail the harrowing account of his experiences as a Prisoner of War of the Japanese Government from the surrender of Bataan until the Japanese surrender in 1945. We can only marvel at the ability of our men to adjust to the desperate, deplorable, and inhuman treatment and conditions inflicted on them by an unreasoning, vicious enemy. An enemy that scorned and refused to accept the Geneva Conventions for treatment of POWs. It brings tears to realize the dreadful personal human price so many of our men paid as Prisoners of War of the Imperial Japanese Government.—William G. Hipps, Brigadier General USAF (Ret.)

Book Description
In this collection of essays based on his time as a Jewish prisoner in the Nazi camps, Primo Levi creates a series of sketches of the people he met who retained their humanity even in the most inhumane circumstances. Having already written two memoirs of his survival at Auschwitz, Levi knew there was still more left untold. Collected in this book are stray vignettes of fifteen individuals Levi met during his imprisonment. Whether it was the young Romani man who smuggled a creased photo of his bride past the camp guards or the starving prisoner who still insisted on fasting on Yom Kippur, the memory of these individuals stayed with Levi for long after. They represent for him “bizarre, marginal moments of reprieve.” Neither simple heroes nor victims, but people who never lost sight of their humanity in the face of unimaginable suffering. Written with the author’s signature humility and intelligence, Moments of Reprieve shines with lyricism and insight. Nearly forty years after their publication, Levi’s words remain as beautiful as they are necessary. Along with Elie Wiesel and Hannah Arendt, Primo Levi is remembered as one of the most powerful and perceptive writers on the Holocaust and the Jewish experience during World War II. This is an essential book both for students and literary readers. Reading Primo Levi is a lesson in the resiliency of the human spirit.

Book Description
Drop the Rock—The Ripple Effect provides multiple perspectives from people successfully working a Twelve Step Program, showing Step 10 as a key to a sober life free of fear and resentment and filled with serenity and gratitude. When Drop the Rock: Removing Character Defects was first published in 1999, it quickly became the standard resource for working Steps 6 and 7, two of the most challenging of the Twelve Steps for many people in recovery. Learning what it means to fully surrender character defects frees you to make amends with Steps 8 and 9, realize the Big Book’s “Promises,” and move on to Step 10. In this new follow-up resource, Fred H. explores what he calls “the ripple effect” that can be created by using Step 10 to practice Steps 6 and 7 every day and avoid picking up “the rock” again. Drawing on his years of lecturing on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, he reveals Step 10 as the natural culmination of working the previous Steps.

Book Description
What can be said about recovery that not already been said a thousand times in the rooms of every twelve step program? Well, Bob W thinks there is plenty left to be said. In his first book "My Mind's Fingers" the author trudged along the well-worn path to recovery in the form of poems, prose, essays, and personal stories of desperation, isolation, fear, and emotional pain, turning them all into triumphs of the spirit by using the message of hope through continued recovery from the demons that would have us on our knees. In his latest book, "Weekly Meditations for a Daily Reprieve", Bob W repeats the same format as before using his poetic insights, witty word-play, and often employing his harsh spot-on view of the realities of life as a recovering person seeking a spiritual reckoning for the past. Along with the meditations contained on the pages of this book - which are based on his personal observations about love, life , relationships, sobriety, and spirituality - Bob W has created a fresh batch of well-crafted offerings in the form of poems, prose, and essays, bringing forth quotes from the past to enlighten us all. After many years of trial and error living in a world fraught with daily battles against the mind, body, and spirit, the author began to seek a degree of humility, and offered himself up to the spiritual principles of the program that literally saved his life. Every morning brings a new day, and every day will bring new challenges. Each week, month, and year we will all be faced with decisions to be made, and the author hopes that his simple yet insightful Daily Reprieves will help guide you through the onslaught of internal and external forces by quieting the stormy emotions that plague us all. Bob W incorporates his spiritual messages gleaned from various religious disciplines and combines them along with an unwavering adherence to the principles of recovery. Presented here in easy-to-read companion pieces along with his weekly and daily meditations, he hopes that others will incorporate them into their walk along the path to serenity just as he continues to do. Enjoy this combination of poetry and prose in the true essence of recovery and spirituality. May you find peace of mind as you discover one of the undisputed truths about the basis for our fears... "It All Begins Within".
