Book Description
The year is 1999 and Tonya Sommers’ life is as promising as one could imagine. Graduating Valedictorian, popular among all the students, and well known in her church; she spends Friday nights caring for her invalid grandmother. Engaged to a prominent real estate broker and headed for a top University with legacy ties to one of the larger sororities, it would seem that all she had to do was enjoy the ride. The halls of higher education will many times take the form of a moral, social labyrinth and Tonya finds herself caught in an emotional, spiritual, and intellectual whirlwind of conflicting beliefs, voided convictions, paper thin assurances, and the disturbed realization of her own sexuality… Manipulation in life’s entirety marks the devious archetype of Glen Forrest. His motivations are singular and egocentric while his words are rehearsed and inauthentic. Once you understand his business, his actions will not surprise you; but when the perversions of a middle age man spill from the beach bars into this University schoolyard justice, amends, and redemption find definition without the help of a courtroom… Jason Lancer has a problem he does not have a clue how to fix. Instead, he surrounds himself with the simple objective pleasures afforded by money and drugs. The little University town in which he lives enables his delusions of grandiosity. As each graduating class departs, the newest students always bring a fresh set of opportunities with them that Jason’s refined cool has had no problem exploiting. Yet, when he is introduced to Tonya his cool gives way to a genuine yearning and he dismissively finds himself driven beyond all limits… Waves, women, and weed are Raymond Meyers’ three favorite things. So a University near his home beach with a five to one girl to guy ratio, near a major spring break destination, seemed to him a no-brainer. When he meets Jason he settles into a school connection and when he meets Tonya he thinks he falls in love. Love as seen from a school boy’s perspective can be devastating and Ray plays the role precisely… William Barrett excels at two things. He knows how to survive on the leftovers and he knows his drums well enough to get him into college early, on a full ride, even when the chair of the department will swear, “He is only fifteen years-old and I've seen his middle school transcript. He is a discipline problem…” Welcome to Mercy Town

It's the perfect idea for a romantic week together: traveling across America by train. But then Hugo's girlfriend dumps him. Her parting gift: the tickets for their long-planned last-hurrah-before-uni trip. Only, it's been booked under her name. Nontransferable, no exceptions. Mae is still reeling from being rejected from USC's film school. When she stumbles across Hugo's ad for a replacement Margaret Campbell (her full name!), she's certain it's exactly the adventure she needs to shake off her disappointment and jump-start her next film. A cross-country train trip with a complete stranger might not seem like the best idea. But to Mae and Hugo, both eager to escape their regular lives, it makes perfect sense. What starts as a convenient arrangement soon turns into something more. But when life outside the train catches up to them, can they find a way to keep their feelings for each other from getting derailed? "One of the loveliest, most touching romances of 2019 thus far that gets at the nature of something deeply buried in all of our hearts." --Entertainment Weekly "This warm, romantic, never overly sentimental story is told with humor and heart....A deeply satisfying read about a life-changing journey full of poignant moments." --Kirkus, starred review

Book Description
In The Monstrous Regiment of Women , Sharon Jansen explores the case for and against female rule by examining the arguments made by theorists from Sir John Fortescue (1461) through Bishop Bossuet (1680) interweaving their arguments with references to the most well-known early modern queens. The 'story' of early modern European political history looks very different if, instead of focusing on kings and their sons, we see successive generations of powerful women and the shifting political alliances of the period from a very different, and revealing, perspective.
