Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book Description
A present-day young adult urban fantasy romance adventure novel where vampires, werewolves, mermaids, witches, seers, shapeshifters, angel-like beings and other supernatural beings exist, roaming freely in our midst, engaging in a secret paranormal warfare that threaten world peace. SUPERHERO — that’s what the dorky sixteen-year-old orphan, Hope Danielles always wanted to be. Ten years after her father left and witnessing her mom killed, it seems she is finally getting her wish. One strange day filled with dreams and visions, while trying to help someone she doesn’t even know, Hope was nearly killed. Coming to her rescue was the mysterious cafe customer, who right in front of her transformed into a being with black and white wings like that of an angel. His name? Ashbel Saunders. He says he’s an ELIOUD, a descendant of the Nephilim — meaning he’s part angel and part human. And according to him, SHE IS, TOO! In order to protect Hope, Ash keeps her in his care, until they find out who is behind the attack. But the longer she stays with him, not only does she meet more eliouds like her along the way, she also gets more entangled in the web of strange events unfolding, the more she discovers her abilities, the more dangerous things become, and the more they realize it’s not just their lives at stake but others’ as well. Will they be able to save those people while they too are on the run? Will this be her chance of becoming a superhero? Or will she be the one who needs saving this time?

Book Description
Could you plan the Fall Formal with your (hot) nemesis? Whit Rivera is about to find out. Frenemies Whit and Zay have been at odds for years (ever since he broke up with her in, like, the most embarrassing way imaginable), so when they’re forced to organize the fall formal together, it's a literal disaster. Sparks fly as Whitney—type-A, passionate, a perfectionist, and a certified sweater-weather fanatic—butts heads with Zay, a dry, relaxed skater boy who takes everything in stride. But not all of those sparks are bad. . . . Has their feud been a big misunderstanding all along? Blisteringly funny and profoundly well-observed, The Fall of Whit Rivera is a snug and cozy autumn romcom that also tackles weightier topics like PCOS, chronic illness, sexuality, fatphobia, Latine identity, and class. Funny, honest, insightful, romantic, and poignant, it is classic Crystal Maldonado—and it will have her legion of fans absolutely swooning. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection "Meaningful. . . Multidimensional. . . An important addition to YA literature."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review "A celebration of love in all its forms—family, friends, romance, and (especially!) self. Whit Rivera's wry, optimistic voice will linger happily in your mind long after you turn the last page."—Monica Gomez-Hira, author of Once Upon a Quinceañera "Satisfying and delightful... Maldonado shines!"—Kelly Jensen, editor and author of (Don't) Call Me Crazy, Body Talk, and Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The eagerly awaited follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestseller Hamilton: The Revolution, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s new book gives readers an extraordinary inside look at In the Heights, his breakout Broadway debut, written with Quiara Alegría Hudes, now a Hollywood blockbuster. “[An] exuberant, unique, and invaluable record of dynamic, brilliant, and soulful creativity.”—Booklist (starred review) In 2008, In the Heights, a new musical from up-and-coming young artists, electrified Broadway. The show’s vibrant mix of Latin music and hip-hop captured life in Washington Heights, the Latino neighborhood in upper Manhattan. It won four Tony Awards and became an international hit, delighting audiences around the world. For the film version, director Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) brought the story home, filming its spectacular dance numbers on location in Washington Heights. That’s where Usnavi, Nina, and their neighbors chase their dreams and ask a universal question: Where do I belong? In the Heights: Finding Home reunites Miranda with Jeremy McCarter, co-author of Hamilton: The Revolution, and Quiara Alegría Hudes, the Pulitzer Prize–winning librettist of the Broadway musical and screenwriter of the film. They do more than trace the making of an unlikely Broadway smash and a major motion picture: They give readers an intimate look at the decades-long creative life of In the Heights. Like Hamilton: The Revolution, the book offers untold stories, perceptive essays, and the lyrics to Miranda’s songs—complete with his funny, heartfelt annotations. It also features newly commissioned portraits and never-before-seen photos from backstage, the movie set, and productions around the world. This is the story of characters who search for a home—and the artists who created one.

Book Description
When Jules and Gypsy find themselves at a crossroad in their respective lives, synchronicity begins to develop.

Both had a lot to lose, but as it turns out, much more to gain. Although they hail from two very different backgrounds, both economically and socially, there is a tie that binds them together; womanhood and all it entails. While on a quest and while travelling to distant lands, they discover a friendship neither fathomed. An alliance forms, despite the odds. Their commonalities surface above all else as they bond, laugh, cry and discover the answers to questions they had not thought of asking. From the east coast of the USA, to Iraq, Turkey, England and Jordan, the whirlwind of adventure, fun and heartbreak never stop.
