Book Description
Twenty-year-old Alice Potter leads a pretty average life. She has an okay job, a loyal best friend in Maria, and the affection of her friend, Tyler. She doesn’t expect anything to change, but then James Butler, her high school crush, walks back into her life. James has always had a hold over Alice, and as she finds herself slipping back into the James Butler bubble, her comfortable life begins to turn upside down. But James doesn’t want a relationship, not when he’s leaving town in a couple of months, and while Alice knows that anything between them is short term, she tries to make the most of the time they do have. As Alice grapples between the notion that it’s better to have loved and lost than not loved at all, she fears that what she feels for James isn’t reciprocated, and when he leaves, she will be left worse off than before. A story of longing and first love, Linger will take you on an emotional roller coaster from the first hello, to the last goodbye.

Book Description
The long-awaited second volume of Nelson Mandela’s memoirs, left unfinished at his death and never before available, are here completed and expanded with notes and speeches written by Mandela during his historic presidency, making for a moving sequel to his worldwide bestseller Long Walk to Freedom. “I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.” In 1994, Nelson Mandela became the first president of a democratic South Africa. From the outset, he was committed to serving only a single five-year term. During his presidency, he and his government ensured that all of South Africa’s citizens became equal before the law, and he laid the foundation for turning a country riven by centuries of colonialism and apartheid into a fully functioning democracy. Dare Not Linger is the story of Mandela’s presidential years, drawing heavily on the memoir he began to write as he prepared to leave office, but was unable to finish. Now the acclaimed South African writer Mandla Langa has completed the task, using Mandela’s unfinished draft, detailed notes that Mandela made as events were unfolding, and a wealth of unseen archival material. With a prologue by Mandela’s widow, Graça Machel, the result is a vivid and often inspirational account of Mandela’s presidency and the creation of a new democracy. It tells the story of a country in transition and the challenges Mandela faced as he strove to make his vision for a liberated South Africa a reality.

Book Description
Let Our Eyes Linger delves deeply into the author's life as son, grandson, father, husband, artist, and schoolteacher while illuminating currents of racial identity and the plight of other black men. These include Jim, the runaway slave from Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, who speaks here in his own in poems that deepen one of the most complicated and controversial characters in American Literature. Reginald Dwayne Betts calls Let Our Eyes Linger "a testament to how the stories we tell ourselves to get through the day can become the poetry that speaks to more than our own existence." Joshua Wiener praises poems "that dramatize the contingencies of family; of its direct influence on the kinds of language we speak...that draw honestly the flight of eros from the domestic scene, as well as the endurance of love & devotion." Toi Derricote writes that "Davis' poems invite comparisons with Robert Hayden and Gwendolyn Brooks' poems of 20thcentury family life."
