Book Description
Maria Paris cannot wait to begin college and start her new life. She’s been kept under the watchful eye of her NYPD mother and is just bursting to live on her own. Being originally from the Bronx, Maria wants to show the world what she is made of. Her plans to become a criminal attorney are paramount in life endeavors and she’s also ready to find that special someone to give herself to. Journey is about a young Puerto Rican girl name Maria Paris originally from Bronx, New York. While at the esteemed Meadow Marvels College, the first night proves to be standard with the usual Freshman Move-in Day and dinner at the student hall until her and her roommate, Lavette, arrive back at their room. They stumble upon sirens and flashing cameras when suddenly, the dean, Mr. Gary Stones, gets killed right in front of them by one of the girls who live with Maria and Lavette. There are now three bodies laid out in the entrance of dorm room 1F. Maria goes on a personal journey to find clues and answers to her questions. She probes newspaper articles and internet stories about the history of MMC and is determined to uncover the truth about the number one college in the state. However, the clues lead her to her mother, an NYPD detective who is in the running for the next New York City Chief of Police. She finds out her mother is not the person she thought she was, ultimately, leaving Maria wanting to find the truth behind who she is and why her mother has kept secrets from her. A week or so passes when Maria and Lavette discover they are both the prime targets in this game of cat and mouse. Maria has already had an attempt on her life when she was locked in a closet, but escaped. Lavette was already attacked by someone who was looking for Maria. The two girls call the police and are told that they must leave campus at once. The new dean of students, Mrs. Gwendolyn Rayes, is behind the murders and wanted Maria dead. Both girls sneak off-campus and are picked up by Detective Joe Reyes who is later killed as he was only moments away from finding out the truth for Maria and Lavette. The two are at the illustrious Waldorf Astoria when Maria’s dreams of finally seeing her mother come true. She has spoken to her mother and told her everything that is going on. Maria assures Lavette that all will be safe now and they have nothing to worry about. However, with the string of Maria’s bad luck lately, she is soon to find out that is not even close to the truth. Maria’s mother, Detective Carmen Paris, knocks on the door of the room and before Maria can open it, they receive a phone call telling her not to open the door. Maria’s mother is being held at gun point and the plan was to shoot her the minute Maria opened the door. Once Maria received the news, she obeyed and watched through the peephole as her mother’s life was taken right in front of her. Maria opened the door to watch the other detective, Cedric Hooker, flee behind the gunman. Carmen’s last words to Maria were “I’m sorry I never told you.” In order for Maria to cope with what is happening, she is assigned two guards to stand outside her room 24/7 and now has the current Chief of Police, Mrs. Gloria Reynolds, by her side every step of the way. Maria’s aunt Mirtha is also by her side explaining to Maria the secrets of why her mother got killed and who could have possible been behind it. When Mirtha explains to Maria that her mother was a twin, the notion floors Maria making her angry at the thought of her mother keeping a secret from her. Maria always thought the two of them were so close. MIrtha sees Maria’s apprehension, and quickly reassures her that her mother had nothing but the best intentions for her. Carmen’s sister, Antonia, was a product of an adulterous relationship that their mother had, and when their father found out, he banished Antonia from the family forcing her into prostitution and drugs. Carmen found this out and went looking for her sister only to find her father—Luis Paris—th

Book Description
A contentious, deeply moving ode to friendship, love, and urban life in the spirit of Fierce Attachments A memoir of self-discovery and the dilemma of connection in our time, The Odd Woman and the City explores the rhythms, chance encounters, and ever-changing friendships of urban life that forge the sensibility of a fiercely independent woman who has lived out her conflicts, not her fantasies, in a city (New York) that has done the same. Running steadily through the book is Vivian Gornick's exchange of more than twenty years with Leonard, a gay man who is sophisticated about his own unhappiness, whose friendship has "shed more light on the mysterious nature of ordinary human relations than has any other intimacy" she has known. The exchange between Gornick and Leonard acts as a Greek chorus to the main action of the narrator's continual engagement on the street with grocers, derelicts, and doormen; people on the bus, cross-dressers on the corner, and acquaintances by the handful. In Leonard she sees herself reflected plain; out on the street she makes sense of what she sees. Written as a narrative collage that includes meditative pieces on the making of a modern feminist, the role of the flaneur in urban literature, and the evolution of friendship over the past two centuries, The Odd Woman and the City beautifully bookends Gornick's acclaimed Fierce Attachments, in which we first encountered her rich relationship with the ultimate metropolis.

Book Description
In the tradition of Sloane Crosley, Mindy Kaling, and Katie Heaney, a hilarious and insightful memoir about one New York City millennial’s journey to find herself, her dream career, and true love, all while juggling a truly unique job as the world’s only professional bridesmaid. After moving to New York City in her mid-twenties to pursue her dream of writing—and not living on the “Upper East Side” of her parents’ house anymore—Jen Glantz looked forward to a future of happy hours and Sunday brunches with her besties. What she got instead were a string of phone calls that began with, “Jen, I have something exciting to tell you!” and ended with, “I’d be honored if you would be my bridesmaid.” At first she was delighted, but it wasn’t long before she realized two things: all of her assets were tied up in bridesmaid dresses, and she herself was no closer to finding The One. She couldn't do much about the second thing (though her mother would beg to differ), but she could about the first. One (slightly tipsy) night, Jen posted an ad on Craigslist advertising her services as a professional bridesmaid. When she woke up the next morning, it had gone viral. What began as a half-joke suddenly turned into a lifetime of adventure for Jen–and more insight into the meaning of love than she was getting from OKCupid—as she walked down the aisle at stranger after stranger’s wedding. Fresh, funny, and surprisingly sweet, Always a Bridesmaid (For Hire) is an entertaining reminder that even if you don’t have everything together, you can still be a total boss—or, at the very least, a BFF to another girl in need.
