Book Description
It's been six years since Dylanie and her family visited a Civil War site and the place came alive with cannon fire. Problem was, no one could hear it but her. Now she's sixteen, her dad's moved out, her mom's come out of the closet and Dylan's got a spot on Paranormal Teen, a reality TV show filming at historic Oakleigh Mansion. She'll spend a weekend with two other psychic teens-Jake and Ashley-learning how to control her abilities. None of them realized how much their emotional baggage would put them at the mercy of Oakleigh's resident spirits, or that they'd find themselves pawns in the 150-year-old battle for the South's legendary Confederate gold. Each must conquer their personal ghosts to face down Jackson, a seductive spirit who will do anything to protect the gold's current location and avenge a heinous attack that destroyed his family.

Author: William Wharton Publisher: Harper Collins ISBN: 0062257382 Category : Biography & Autobiography Languages : en Pages : 179
Book Description
Author of such classic wartime novels as Birdy and A Midnight Clear, William Wharton was one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation. However, he was also a very private man—he wrote under a pseudonym and rarely gave interviews—so fans and critics could only speculate how much of his work was autobiographical and how much was fiction. Now, for the first time, we are able to read the author's own account of his experiences during World War II—events that went on to influence some of his greatest works. These are the tales that Wharton never wanted to tell his children. Together, they illuminate a deeply personal, transformative experience: of learning to kill, to "abandon my natural desire to live, survive, and to risk my life for reasons I often did not understand and sometimes did not accept." Moving and insightful, Shrapnel is a powerful, timeless work from an acclaimed American master.

Book Description
Winner, Trillium Book Award In Téa Mutonji’s disarming debut story collection, a woman contemplates her Congolese traditions during a family wedding, a teenage girl looks for happiness inside a pack of cigarettes, a mother reconnects with her daughter through their shared interest in fish, and a young woman decides on shaving her head in the waiting room of an abortion clinic. These punchy, sharply observed stories blur the lines between longing and choosing, exploring the narrator’s experience as an involuntary one. Tinged with pathos and humor, they interrogate the moments in which femininity, womanness, and identity are not only questioned but also imposed. Shut Up You’re Pretty is the first book to be published under VS. Books, a series of books curated and edited by writer-musician Vivek Shraya featuring work by new and emerging Indigenous or Black writers, or writers of color.

Book Description
A novel reminiscent of the works of Herman Koch and Rachel Cusk, in which a lesbian couple attempts to escape the secrets of their pasts. “[Mootoo’s] unsettling latest examines how secrets always come back to haunt us—especially the ones we’ve managed to keep from ourselves.” —Globe & Mail, one of the 100 Favorite Books of 2020 One of Autostraddle‘s Best Queer Books of 2020 Polar Vortex is a seductive and tension-filled novel about Priya and Alex, a lesbian couple who left the big city to relocate to a bucolic countryside community. It seemed like a good way to leave their past behind and cement their newish, later-in-life relationship. But there’s leaving the past behind—and then there’s running away from awkward histories. Priya has a secret—a long-standing on-again, off-again relationship with a man, Prakash. In Priya’s mind Prakash is little more than an old friend, but in reality things are a bit complicated. Why has she never told Alex about him? Prakash has tracked Priya down in her new life, and before she realizes what she’s doing, she invites him to visit. Alex is not pleased, and soon the existing cracks in their relationship widen, revealing secrets Alex herself would have preferred to keep. Into the fissure walks Prakash, whose own agenda forces all three to face the inevitable consequences of their choices.

Book Description
This story is a personal reflection on the life of Pepper Martin, professional wrestler, football player, actor, producer, writer, husband, father, and grandfather and the guy next door. Pepper is a self-made man with little formal education whose life was marked by violence, controversy, physical pain, and emotional suffering. The shrapnel of his soul began for him at age seven and a half and his journey through redemption to the Lord will resonate with most anyone who recognizes the similarities in their own lives. The story of his childhood as the son of a Canadian bootlegger, life on the road as a professional athlete, the many women who crossed his path, the stars he befriended as an actor, his ties to organized crime both in the United States and Asia, the love of his family, and his eventful relationship with the Lord in his attempt to remove the shrapnel from his soul will astound the reader.
