Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
National Book Award 2019 Finalist! From the author of Printz Medal winner Bone Gap comes the unforgettable story of two young women—one living, one dead—dealing with loss, desire, and the fragility of the American dream during WWII. When Frankie’s mother died and her father left her and her siblings at an orphanage in Chicago, it was supposed to be only temporary—just long enough for him to get back on his feet and be able to provide for them once again. That’s why Frankie's not prepared for the day that he arrives for his weekend visit with a new woman on his arm and out-of-state train tickets in his pocket. Now Frankie and her sister, Toni, are abandoned alongside so many other orphans—two young, unwanted women doing everything they can to survive. And as the embers of the Great Depression are kindled into the fires of World War II, and the shadows of injustice, poverty, and death walk the streets in broad daylight, it will be up to Frankie to find something worth holding on to in the ruins of this shattered America—every minute of every day spent wondering if the life she's able to carve out will be enough. I will admit I do not know the answer. But I will be watching, waiting to find out. That’s what ghosts do.

Book Description
Tanya is no ordinary girl. She can see fairies. But not the fairies we imagine. Evil fairies who cast spells on her, rousing her from her sleep and propelling her out of bed. At wit's end with her daughter's inexplicable behavior, Tanya's mother sends her away to live with her grandmother at Elvesden Manor, a secluded countryside mansion on the outskirts of a peculiar Essex town. There is plenty to explore, as long as Tanya stays away from Hangman's Wood- a vast stretch of forest, full of catacombs and notorious for people losing their lives. Fifty years ago a girl vanished in the woods, a girl Tanya's grandmother will not speak of. As Tanya learns more about this girl, she finds herself dangerously close to vanishing into the fairy realm forever. Debut author Michelle Harrison weaves an intricate mystery into a beautiful and haunting fantasy that captures a rich world of fairy lore where only the color red can offer protection.

The Last Juug
Author: Domingo Henare
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1543420974
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This book was written about my involvement and hustle in the streets while living in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The title came from the street slang “jug,” pronounced ju-ug, which could represent the meaning of a drug deal, a play, or street transaction. This urban novel is based off a true story, which puts in a category of nonfiction and has brought a different style of novel to the readers who like urban novels. I call the style of my book an urbanography. While writing about my hustle and experience, I share with the reader the need to do something different in my life instead of throwing it away—the need to be something better than what we’ve been doing. This book, The Last Juug, is quite adventurous, and needless to say, it’s very interesting and never boring. It is definitely a page-turner and a good read. I want to give special thanks to my mother, Dr. Elva Williams, Kimberly Walker, Michael Wilson Sr., Frank and Judy Henry, Gregory Hilderbrand, and my friend Charles Barksdale, and I cannot forget Dallas Sprull, who motivated and encouraged me to continue to write. I also want to thank my publisher and the whole team who had been a part of publishing my book. You too, Daryl Williams, a.k.a. Big Sug. You all believed in me and have supported me in some capacity. I thank the good Lord above because he is the only reason how and why I made it through. Never give up!

Not Yesterday, Not Tomorrow, Today
Author: Ruth H. B.
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662450737
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
This book jumps from present to past in my moments of PTSD when I relive the events that make these entries. The entire time from when I was six years old to when I am thirty years old in 2020 forms the complete book you now hold in your hand. Through the journey you take with me, my past is slowly disclosed in sections via chapters. I have a chapter for each phase of my life I was struggling with, such as depression, PTSD, abuse, and the major one for me--my miscarriage and death of my son, which is what birthed this book. This book was designed to be in the form of a journal instead of a communication between two people so that you could take this journey with me in these different areas of my life and because these journal entries were my therapy and way to survive. Through my journal entries in this autobiography, you can feel the raw emotion with me in the moment. You will feel the thoughts as they dripped with reality. I was very much a part of each chapter, disclosing the very real struggle in which I was thrown. Slowly the entire picture is painted before you. With every step you take into my journey, you become one step closer to understanding what life was like for me. This isn't your typical autobiography where someone sits and tells you about their life. In this autobiography, you get the chance to live it with me and all the people that it includes and all the experiences it conveys. You travel in my footsteps through my memories of the life I have lived and currently live. You read the experiences that have shaped the person who stands here today. This wasn't an easy road for me, and it has taken much courage to display these very authentic and real pages from my actual journal during this time. My aim is to have this help someone see the positive in life and be an encouragement in rough times in the wisdom I disclose from these experiences in my life. However, it is mostly for myself to say--I am still here to give a voice to the little girl who has been trapped inside for thirty years and to show the many ways that I am still fighting this fight. It is to give a voice to my son and the reality of miscarriage many do not see and those who do live with it on a daily basis. This is to give a voice to the all the struggles this covers and to the one struggling and to break the silence. Are you ready to come? Are you to come on this journey with me?
