Book Description
Summer has had a hard life, detailed in depth in her first memoir, Summer in the Badlands. Here, we pick up in mid-2015 and join Summer and her family just after the tragic loss of her young son Tony. We embark on a thrilling and very open account of what happens to a family; A man and his wife; their children; and a woman in her own right, when such a terrible set of events unfold on top of them. Having moved recently from Philadelphia to Charlotte, the family has a lot of hurdles in their way, Summer guides us through her emotions and the situations that happened to her and her loved ones immediately after the loss of Tony. We hear the tales of sorrow, hardship, and ultimate redemption, in the face of trying and testing situations. Read as Summer describes what was going through her mind when she discovered her husband’s infidelity, and as she herself traversed the plains of her own lust and fantasy with a new lover, but an old friend. We discover about her daughter’s challenges with mental illness and how that affected her grieving family, especially when she contracted Covid-19 while being looked after in a hospital. Will Xavier ever be able to look at Summer in that special way again? Will Samia find her way through this dark and hard world. Will Summer be able to keep her family together through all of these hard times? If so, what does that mean for her as a woman, a mother, and a wife. This is a story of painful beginnings, and a tougher life to follow. But, in the end, this is an account of the unflinching bravery and strength that a woman finds within herself when her family is in danger of collapse.

Book Description
Starting in 1970, Jean Genet—petty thief, prostitute, modernist master—spent two years in the Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan. Always an outcast himself, Genet was drawn to this displaced people, an attraction that was to prove as complicated for him as it was enduring. Prisoner of Love, written some ten years later, when many of the men Genet had known had been killed, and he himself was dying, is a beautifully observed description of that time and those men as well as a reaffirmation of the author's commitment not only to the Palestinian revolution but to rebellion itself. For Genet's most overtly political book is also his most personal—the last step in the unrepentantly sacrilegious pilgrimage first recorded in The Thief's Journal, and a searching meditation, packed with visions, ruses, and contradictions, on such life-and-death issues as the politics of the image and the seductive and treacherous character of identity. Genet's final masterpiece is a lyrical and philosophical voyage to the bloody intersection of oppression, terror, and desire at the heart of the contemporary world.

Book Description
As disappointing and difficult as your incarceration may be, there is always hope and a spiritual solution. In your desperation, take time to be still, put your anxieties to rest and draw close to God. He is very near and will meet you at your point of need. This book will help you discover that the God of all comfort is near to the brokenhearted and discouraged. God will turn your despair into hope, your darkness into light, and your doubts into faith.What other prisoners have written about Prayers by a Prisoner:"Price puts our deepest questions about walking with God through this darkness into perspective. Every prisoner must read this book." Jason Chapman, federal prisoner"I've been arrested forty nine times and have read many books in jail and prison. I've read this book three times already, and I feel like I need to read it again and again. This book on prayer helped me understand that God loves me no matter what I've done." Terry Buck, federal prisoner"After struggling with years of depression, bad decisions and lots of prison time, chapter twelve has changed my entire thought process. If you read nothing else, read chapter twelve. Chapters fourteen and fifteen are very powerful too!" David McNutt"After over thirty arrests and being in and out of jail sice I was thirteen, this book helped me finally understand why I am making so many impulsive and irrational decisions. I did not understand that God loved me this way. My life is now being transformed." Johnny Hill, federal prisonerFrom the Introduction:I want to explain that I am a fellow struggler in Christ. I am not infallible, and thankfully, I have abandoned the God complex. My flaws and mistakes are obvious, and I say along with the apostle Paul that I am the chief of all sinners. This book is not about any extra ordinary knowledge or insight that I have attained. It is simply about the practices and habits that God has led me to develop to make the most of my time in prison and the remainder of my life. I am a learner, an avid reader, and a lifelong student of contemplative prayer. I am always asking God to make the necessary changes that He knows I need to implement in order for me to conform to the image of Christ.Just because I am a Christian does not mean I am without troubles, pain and suffering. We all know the affliction and darkness we experience in prison. We have been through the inhumane, harsh and brutal process of eternal condemnation. We are alienated, isolated and despised by society. Our names have become a reproach. The odds of any kind of comeback are stacked against us. The world looks upon us as pariah and with contempt. Many of us are rejected and forsaken, and we wrestle with feelings of deep loneliness, abandonment and overwhelming regret. We wonder if there is any hope.The good news is that Jesus repeatedly gave dignity back to the despised. Others may look at us with scorn, but Jesus makes us human again. Here is the bottom line: God knows every thought we have ever had, every step we've ever taken, and every word we've ever spoken. He knows the intentions of our hearts. He knows all the things we've seen and done that make us want to run, hide, and even die. And yet, He still loves us. Jesus is a friend and lover of sinners like you and me, and there is nothing we can do to make Him stop loving us. He meets us where we are. He disciplines and corrects us when necessary. He forgives our past. He overwhelms us with His love, and He gives us an eternal home in Heaven. Nothing can separate us from His infinite love. Because of this, we can say along with the Psalmist, "I will not die, but live, and tell of the works of the Lord. The Lord has didciplined me severely, but He has not given me over to death (Psalm 118:17-19)."Included as a supplement is a five chapter preview of my memoir, Hope Is Not My Enemy, which details my life story and the failure of my securities business and MBT Bank.
