Book Description
THE WORDS OF WYCLEF JEAN: I want to assure my countrymen that I will continue to work for Haitis renewal; though the board has determined that I am not a resident of Haiti, home is where the heart isand my heart has and will always be in Haiti. This ruling just tells me that I cant officially seek the office of president. More importantly, there is no one who can tell me to stop my work in Haiti, and there is no one who could. I think of my daughter, Angelina, and it makes me want to redouble my efforts to help give all the children in Haiti better days. I also want to honor the memory of my father, a minister; I know that he would tell me that even though Ive faced a setback, I must continue in all my good-faith efforts to help Haiti turn a corner to a better and brighter future. Do not think that my role in the future of Haiti is over; its just a different role than I had anticipated it to be.

Book Description
Aulus is committed to fulfilling his promise to his late mother, Martine, by searching for his twin brother who was separated from him through adoption. In his quest, Aulus takes on a challenging project in a foreign country to dismantle armed gangs. Although his wife, Sophie, expresses concern for his safety, their daughter, Sophi-Angelique (nicknamed Sophi-An), eagerly joins her father, having survived a kidnapping and near-death experience during her time as a nurse with Médecins Sans Frontières in that same country. Unbeknownst to Aulus, the gangs have been monitoring his activities closely, leading to his betrayal and subsequent kidnapping with the assistance of a corrupt police chief. However, he manages to escape thanks to a man who bears a striking resemblance to his twin brother, Sauul, who had created an advanced spy network for the gangs to track Aulus and his team. He is soon revealed to be his long-lost sibling through a DNA test. Together, Aulus and Sauul devise a cutting-edge, high-tech anti-gang Artificial Intelligent system with the objective to systematically dismantle the gang networks. Their mission takes an unexpected turn when they orchestrate a cyber-attack inspired by Robin Hood, forcefully seizing the stolen money amassed by politicians, gangs, and their associates. In a remarkable turn of events, they managed to return a staggering $58.5 billion back to the country. The reclaimed funds are then prioritized for significant improvements in crucial sectors, such as agriculture, education, healthcare, infrastructure, the judicial system, and overall security. Aulus concluded that despite of the horrifying and dehumanizing state of security in that country, there will inevitably be some positive outcomes arising from it.

Book Description
Pamela Gillilan was born in London in 1918, married in 1948 and moved to Cornwall in 1951. When she sat down to write her poem Come Away after the death of her husband David, she had written no poems for a quarter of a century. Then came a sequence of incredibly moving elegies. Other poems followed, and two years after starting to write again, she won the Cheltenham Festival poetry competition. Her first collection That Winter (Bloodaxe, 1986) was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Poetry Prize.

Book Description
A Good Morning America Buzz Pick From the author of Class Mom and You've Been Volunteered comes a new book on one mom's challenges through parenting and life, keeping her on her toes and perpetually in yoga pants. Jen Dixon of Overland Park, Kansas—fearless mother of a fifth-grade boy and two thirty-something daughters—is used to juggling a lot, from her mission to become a spin instructor, to stepping in as the most acerbic class mom ever (again), to taking care of her two-year-old granddaughter. But when the PTA president throws her a mandate to raise $10,000 for the fifth-grade class, even unflappable Jen is going to need more than her regular spin class to get her through this final year at William Taft Elementary School. In the midst of new complications—organizing the class overnight to Topeka, an unexpected spin class fan in the form of her husband’s crazy ex-wife, and trying to navigate her parents’ sudden descent into apparent delusions—Jen hardly has the patience to listen to yet another half-baked idea (come on, ladies, another wrapping paper sale?) from WeFUKCT (We Fundraise Until Kingdom Come Team), her fundraising committee. But if anyone can get elementary parents to pull off the impossible, it’s Jen Dixon. With her always irreverent and laugh-out-loud humor—boldly holding forth on those things you’re thinking, but would never dare say out loud—Laurie Gelman shines a light on the indignities and hilarities of modern parenting.
