Book Description
Through narration, flashback, inner monologue, and snappy laugh-out-loud dialogue, Samantha Paris's Finding the Bunny artfully peels back the curtain on the fascinating world of voice-over, and much more. With untethered honesty and humor, voice-over genius Paris reveals her intensely personal story- that of a woman in mid-career, recovering from a disastrous childhood, dealing with a failed but far-from-loveless marriage, running a hugely successful business, shepherding thousands of students through the learning process so that they can realize their dreams, while dealing with a burning internal conflict about what happened to hers.Through Paris's odyssey, a reader will be inspired to examine and access one's own inner true voice. As Peter Coyote writes in this book's Foreword, "e;Finding the Bunny is an eye-opener, a thought-provoker, an education, an adventure and an inspiration. (It's) about transformation more than anything else- offering ideas that may challenge or freshen your thinking, enrich your life and light your own path."e;Samantha Paris is a natural born teacher, entrepreneur and force of nature. Her greatest gift has been teaching others that the power of possibility actually already exists in your own internal life, if you just give voice to it.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER Soon to be a major motion picture "Jon Swift + Witches of Eastwick + Kelly 'Get In Trouble' Link + Mean Girls + Creative Writing Degree Hell! No punches pulled, no hilarities dodged, no meme unmangled! O Bunny you are sooo genius!" —Margaret Atwood, via Twitter "A wild, audacious and ultimately unforgettable novel." —Michael Schaub, Los Angeles Times "Awad is a stone-cold genius." —Ann Bauer, The Washington Post The Vegetarian meets Heathers in this darkly funny, seductively strange novel from the acclaimed author of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl and Rouge "We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?" Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort--a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other "Bunny," and seem to move and speak as one. But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled "Smut Salon," and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door--ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies' sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus "Workshop" where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision. The spellbinding new novel from one of our most fearless chroniclers of the female experience, Bunny is a down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, friendship and desire, and the fantastic and terrible power of the imagination.

Book Description
The Invisible Circus There is a magical show with amazing things that can only be seen by people who really believe in magic. Summary: Ellie finds a way to get to the Invisible Circus, a place that is talked about but rarely seen, in a small town where the stranger lives in the everyday life. The beauty of this circus, a beacon of magic, can only be fully appreciated by people who are open to the world's unsolved riddles. Ellie is the perfect person to visit this magical world because she is very interested and amazed. In each chapter, Ellie goes deeper into the circus, learning about a new part of magic and important lessons that can be applied to everyone's life. From getting her golden ticket from a wise talking owl at the ticket office to her amazing trip into the Tent of Mirrors, where her images show her much more than she thought, Ellie's journey is one of amazement and self-discovery. The Acrobatic Wonders teach her the value of confidence as she flies above the earth with performers who defy gravity. There, she learns that letting go is necessary to truly fly. With its philosophical rabbit and singing plants, the Enchanted Garden helps Ellie learn to understand how other people feel by letting her see the world through their eyes. The Library of Secrets and the Invisible Menagerie tested her ideas about trust and knowledge and taught her how important it is to believe in things that can't be seen. The Firefly Circus and the Hall of Echoes both show how memories and working together are important. They also show how magic can be found in small things and how beautiful it is to share experiences. When Ellie interacts with the different characters at the circus, like the shadow puppeteer who shows her how stories can change people and the wise clown who teaches her how laughter can heal, her trip turns into a journey into the heart of what it means to believe. Ellie is pushed to find her potential and the magic inside her by the Floating Islands and the Magician's Challenge. It all comes together in a moving farewell under the stars, where she learns that the circus was more than just a place of wonder; it was a journey into the heart of magic. The story "The Invisible Circus" is more than just an adventure; it also teaches important lessons about bravery, friendship, and having faith that doesn't waver. Ellie's journey shows that magic is all around us and in everything we do, but only those who believe in it can see it. She tells us that the trip is important, that wonder is powerful, and that we all have magic inside us. Chapter 1: The Wind That Speaks Ellie was a young girl who lived in the middle of a busy, small town where the strange and the everyday often brushed against each other like leaves in the wind. Ellie had a huge mind and was full of illusions, just like most kids her age. She also found beauty in everything around her. On a day that seemed normal, Ellie's life took a sudden turn that looked like it was ending. The day had gone as planned, and I had spent hours lost in books that were full of wonderful and exciting things that happened. As the sun went down and the sky turned pink and orange, Ellie chose to explore her garden, a place she knew well and where she loved to read stories. But this evening was different from the others. Ellie could feel a soft breeze pulling her closer with a whisper that sounded like the earth itself. Ellie was interested in what the wind was saying and followed it, her heart beating fast like butterfly wings. It took her to the farthest part of her garden, where the flowers seemed to reach out and give her a soft push. There was a doorway that was hidden by the flowers and wavy vines. This wasn't just any gate, though; the light didn't shimmer; it seemed to move and flicker, casting shadows in Ellie's field of view. Ellie got closer, her big, interested eyes sparkling. It was getting louder, and she could hear the wind calling for her to go through the opening. As she reached out and ran her fingers along the smooth, sparkling surface, the whole universe seemed to stop and hold its breath. Beyond the line was the Invisible Circus, a magical and amazing world that could only be seen by people who really believed. Ellie had never seen anything like this show, not even in her wildest dreams. In this place, the everyday seemed impossible, and magic filled the air. She saw a sea of color with tents spread out in front of her. The stars were so bright that they made the tents' panels shine. The music and laughter filling the air gave a hint of the riches that were waiting to be found. Ellie moved forward and entered a realm where magic was the main way to measure being. The wind, which had been whispering behind her, was now buzzing softly in her ears. It was a constant friend who always made her feel better. As she watched, the show came to life all around her, with each new sight and sound being more amazing than the last. The Invisible Circus did not have to follow the rules that everyone else did. In this place, animals spoke human languages and told stories from places far away. Without a net, the acrobats did beautiful acrobatic dances that made it look like they were part of the wind. The Tent of Mirrors showed Ellie's face, but it also showed her hopes and dreams, giving her a glimpse of what might be if she had the guts to believe. For Ellie, every step she took in this area was a discovery trip, an adventure to the heart of magic. The circus artists treated her like one of their own, and they taught her a new lesson about how strong it is to believe in yourself and your magic. To really live, she learned, one had to laugh with the joy of a heart full of faith. To fly, she learned, one had to trust, and to see the unseen, one had to believe. Ellie's trip through the Invisible Circus was more than just a quick stop at a cool place. The trip she took to learn more about herself taught her that the magic she was looking for was inside her as well as the things around her. With all of its secrets and wonders, the circus was like a mirror, showing us the magic that's inside each of us, just waiting to be brought out by faith. Ellie knew that the Invisible Circus would always be a part of her. It was a special moment that would remind her to see beyond the obvious and find beauty in everyday things. As the night went on, it was time for her to go back to her own world. Now that she was back home, the wind that had led her to the portal was saying goodbye and offering more adventures. Because being amazed never ends in a world where magic lives in the shadows and people who believe can always reach the extraordinary. Chapter 2: The Front Desk Ellie stood in front of the strangest ticket booth in the middle of the beautiful world beyond the entry that sparkled. This wasn't the kind of ticket booth you'd find at the movies or on the train. Oh no. Its structure shone under the starry circus sky, made from whispers of magic and imaginations. It was warm and welcoming. Things all around it looked like they were waiting for Ellie, like magic was waiting for her to show up. Ellie was shocked when she saw that the shop was being run by a beautiful owl, whose feathers were the same color as the stars in the sky. This owl wasn't like any other. Its voice, which was both smart and gentle, showed how magical the circus had always been. The owl said, "Welcome, Ellie," and its eyes seemed to understand everything that was going on in space and time. A golden ticket, glowing with its own light, was held out by the owl. It promised mystery and excitement. It said, "To explore the wonders of the Invisible Circus, you must first accept this golden ticket." Ellie took out her hand, shaking with joy, and took the ticket. It was warm to the touch and looked like it was living because it was pulsing with energy. The owl then gave Ellie some advice that would help her on her journey through the circus: "This ticket is not just a pass to explore the wonders within; it is a symbol of belief. For in this circus, belief is the key that unlocks the true magic of the world around you." Ellie's first lesson in magic, which she got from the talking owl at the magical ticket office, changed her life. She knew that she had to let go of her expectations and believe in both her and the magic of the circus in order to fully see and feel the wonders of the Invisible Circus. Ellie had a golden ticket, but it was more than just a way to get in. It showed that she believed in the fantastic, which is what brought her to the circus in the first place, and it would now let her into a world where the impossible became possible. With the ticket, she could meet interesting people, see all the tents and other attractions at the circus, and see amazing magic shows. With the help of the light from her golden ticket, Ellie felt something change inside her as she walked by the ticket booth. It looked like everything around her had a new sparkle to it. The colors and sounds were more vivid and beautiful. Buying the ticket seemed to have taken her to a world where magic was a part of everyday life and opened the gates to the circus together. The talking owl smiled and watched Ellie as she walked deeper into the show. This was because the owl knew Ellie's next trip would involve more than just seeing the

Book Description
FINALIST - Governor General's Literary Award for Nonfiction WINNER - 2023 Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writers Prizes for Nonfiction FINALIST - Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Nonfiction An unforgettable coming-of-age memoir about a Black boy adopted into a white, Christian fundamentalist family Perfect for fans of Educated, Punch Me Up to the Gods, and Surviving the White Gaze “An affecting portrait of life inside the twin prisons of racism and unbending orthodoxy.” --Kirkus Reviews A powerful, experiential journey from white cult to Black consciousness: Harrison Mooney’s riveting story of self-discovery lifts the curtain on the trauma of transracial adoption and the internalized antiblackness at the heart of the white evangelical Christian movement. Inspired by Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man the same way Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me was inspired by James Baldwin, Harrison Mooney’s debut memoir will captivate readers with his powerful gift for storytelling, his keen eye for insight and observation, and his wry sense of humor. As an adopted and homeschooled Black boy with ADHD at white fundamentalist Christian churches and tent revivals, Mooney was raised amid a swirl of conflicting and confusing messages and beliefs. Within that radical and racist right-wing bubble along the U.S. border in Canada's Bible Belt, Harrison was desperate to belong and to be "visible" to those around him. But before ultimately finding his own path, Harrison must first come to understand that the forces at work in his life were not supernatural, but the same trauma and systemic violence that has terrorized Black families for generations. Reconnecting with his birth mother--and understanding her journey--leads Harrison to a new connection with himself: the eyes looking down were my true mother’s eyes, and the face was my true mother’s face, and for the first time in my life, I saw that I was beautiful.
