Book Description
The first novel to be translated from Wolof to English, Doomi Golo—The Hidden Notebooks is a masterful work that conveys the story of Nguirane Faye and his attempts to communicate with his grandson before he dies. With a narrative structure that beautifully imitates the movements of a musical piece, Diop relates Faye’s trauma of losing his only son, Assane Tall, which is compounded by his grandson Badou’s migration to an unknown destination. While Faye feels certain that his grandson will return one day, he also is convinced that he will no longer be alive by then. Faye spends his days sitting under a mango tree in the courtyard of his home, reminiscing and observing his surroundings. He speaks to Badou through his seven notebooks, six of which are revealed to the reader, while the seventh, the “Book of Secrets,” is highly confidential and reserved for Badou’s eyes only. In the absence of letters from Badou, the notebooks form the only possible means of communication between the two, carrying within them tunes and repetitions that give this novel its unusual shape: loose and meandering on the one hand, coherent and tightly interwoven on the other. Translated by Vera Wülfing-Leckie and El Hadji Moustapha Diop.

Book Description
What would one do if one were granted the power to make ones dreams a reality, to have dreams that can transcend into reality? And if not there, then where does this all happen from? In The Dream Taker Series, the author has written an engrossing story that revolves around an experiment that could make dreams come true, but with such god-like power how can anyone truly control it or estimate the havoc it can bring into the real word. Perhaps what we see isnt the real world at all? Perhaps were simple characters in someone elses dream? Or better still, in our own dream. Project MKUltra is the code name of a U.S. government human research operation experimenting in the behavioral engineering of humans through the CIA's Scientific Intelligence Division. And officially halted in 1973. In 1977, a Freedom of Information Act request uncovered a cache of 20,000 documents relating to project MKUltra, which led to Senate hearings later that same year. In July 2001 some surviving information regarding MKUltra was officially declassified. The scope of Project MKUltra was broad. What is real? Some peoples reality may simply not look like at all, what youre reality looks like. Its as simple and complex as that. Are dreams like insanity? And what about the people who are considered mentally ill? Or those who can dive into different dimensions, in their spirituality. Or the minds while smoking pot? The twists and turns in this book will have your head spinning in some weird vortex, not knowing which way its about to turn. Yet in the end I feel well all learn, what the heck happened, when we woke up, but will it be too late? Youll need to decide.

Book Description
“Imagine the Earth as a stage, you as an actor in life’s grand play, and the Universe scripting roles for your own personal growth and development.” Mali, 2010: In the remote reaches of the Sahara, disparate groups of Islamic fundamentalists affiliated with Al-Qaeda have stealthily taken root. Against this backdrop, a famed Canadian geologist toiling away at a remote exploration camp near Timbuktu discovers the motherlode of gold like no others. Alas, the law of unintended consequences reigns supreme. His compound is raided and in the ensuing confusion, Ayesha, his beautiful wife, is abducted. Enters Jake Hall, a young and rising mining executive set to visit the camp to assess the scope of the discovery. As Hall escorts his host to Timbuktu for urgent medical care, he’s thrown off course, leading to his own capture by a band of smugglers. His life balances on a knife’s edge as he is forced to journey through some of the most rugged places on earth and endure the desert’s dangers. Alternating between Hall and Ayesha, Into the Unknown is a gripping tale of captivity and survival of two people who are as different as day and night. Both harrowing and hopeful, the book explores themes of immortality, life's purpose, prejudice, and the spread of Islamic fundamentalism.

Book Description
If you’ve ever questioned your decisions as a partner or parent, then this story of forgiveness triumphing over self-doubt is for you... Emelia Taylor, a plus-sized single mom, and her four-year-old daughter, Quinn, are on the run from Emelia’s abusive boyfriend, Gary. Emelia and Quinn eventually land in the quaint, Hallmark-esque, bayfront town of Edenton, North Carolina. Soon after arriving, they find refuge at Redemption Ranch—a place where people and horses alike can find redemption from whatever ills life has thrown their way. Or so they think. Luke Herring is a former Marine plagued with demons from his past. He lives at Redemption Ranch, hoping the ranch will help him rid his mind and body of memories he’d rather forget. Luke and the ranch’s other residents, including Callie Andrews—who, like Emelia, escaped an abusive household—show Emelia and Quinn how to care for the ranch’s horses, many of which are also recovering from abuse. Luke hopes for a deeper relationship with Emelia. But with Luke still recovering and with Gary lurking around the ranch, endangering its residents, Luke and Emelia keep each other at arm’s length so as not to endanger each other. As they navigate their blossoming friendship, will they find the safety, security, and love they both have longed for and allow God to heal their hearts? Or when tragedy strikes, will it drive a wedge further between them? Find out here, in Book 2 of the Edenton Bay Romance Series. WARNING: Finding Redemption Ranch is a work of fiction in which a woman struggles to escape an abusive relationship. As such, this book necessarily contains language and scenarios related to physical and emotional abuse, which might be triggering for some audiences. Reader discretion is advised.
