Book Description
Madrinega, Ccntral America, 1983: Amid a raging guerilla insurgency intent on toppling the regime of repressive dictator Eduardo Vilar, Leighton, an American agent, goes undercover as a freelance journalist to infiltrate the guerilla movement and learn the location of four cruise missiles they seized in a recent raid on a military base. Arrested and tortured by the Secret Police for his reporting on the government’s prosecution of the war, he is released only to be given an ultimatum: Leave the country or be “disappeared.” The guerillas intervene, spiriting him away to their jungle base where he meets Zorrita, their attractive, charismatic leader. Determined to use Leighton to sway American public opinion, she sets out to educate and seduce him into advocating for the guerillas’ cause, as Leighton contrives to build her trust and learn the missiles’ location. But his loyalties are soon divided as their relationship unexpectedly deepens, triggering angst among the guerillas and increasing demands from Leighton’s superiors. Initially intent on merely using one another, they must navigate a growing bond even as Zorrita plans how best to use the missiles to remove Vilar, and Leighton plots to have an American Special Forces team seize them by force. Duty and desire clash as the dedicated revolutionary and the calculating spy race headlong toward an inevitable, deadly collision.

Book Description
Everyone likes Josie, except the spoiled and arrogant Billy Detwiler. He calls her Pharmacy Girl, but it is no compliment. As the hazy days of September 1918 drift into the deadly autumn of Spanish influenza, twelve-year-old Josie Winslow's everyday problems of school and friends, even the war effort at home, become insignificant as everyone battles the epidemic. Josie's parents try to isolate her from the flu, but Josie is no slacker. She faces Billy in a class election, raises money for the Liberty Loan, and steps up to help the family when her mother comes down with influenza. Josie catches the flu after helping the people she loves-and hates-to survive.

Book Description
The John Coltrane Church began in 1965, when Franzo and Marina King attended a performance of the John Coltrane Quartet at San Francisco's Jazz Workshop and saw a vision of the Holy Ghost as Coltrane took the bandstand. Celebrating the spirituality of the late jazz innovator and his music, the storefront church emerged during the demise of black-owned jazz clubs in San Francisco, and at a time of growing disillusionment with counter-culture spirituality following the 1978 Jonestown tragedy. For 50 years, the church has effectively fought redevelopment, environmental racism, police brutality, mortgage foreclosures, religious intolerance, gender disparity and the corporatization of jazz. This critical history is the first book-length treatment of an extraordinary African-American church and community institution.

In the city of Gridlock, the cars don't move anymore. They've become homes, businesses, and the livelihood of many. Following a strange anomaly, the gridlock and the always-on-sale Public Car Markets were formalised as a compromise to fund Hope Runners: heroes sent into the anomaly to answer the questions about what happened to their world. Living in a converted bus in a corner of the gridlock, Flora Kaigo had given up hope. Her father, like the other Hope Runners that had won their championships, had bravely disappeared into the strange anomaly that encased the city of Gridlock, only to never return with the answers to their questions. What happened to their world? What happened to her father? When the first Hope Runner returns two decades after her father left, events are set into motion that not only gives Flora an unexpected opportunity to pursue the truth in her father's footsteps, but also threatens to reveal the secrets that keep the delicate power balance and intricate car markets of the city of Gridlock alive. With Palma, her friend from the Penthouses in the sky, and Esper, her friend from the cars in the Trunks, they adventure through a story of hope, belonging, intrigue, cryptography, and radical markets.

Book Description
In present-day Los Angeles, Caroline Martin has everything but the thing her soul craves most: a daughter. When she undergoes what is supposed to be a routine hysterectomy, she unwittingly aborts the little girl she’s always longed for, leaving the unborn baby’s soul in limbo. Sharing a hospital room with Caroline is a pregnant woman who’s just been shot by her boyfriend. Her unborn child is barely hanging on—and the soul of Caroline’s hovering baby cannot resist the overwhelming urge to rebirth via this unclaimed fetus. In the aftermath of these events, two engaging heavenly guides, working together through sensitive humans, struggle to find an alternate way to help Caroline and her would-be daughter forge the link that was always meant to be between them—before the child’s brutal father makes good on his vow to steal the girl and disappear with her forever. By turns comic and tragic, Rachael’s Return explores the concept of soulmates, the afterlife, reincarnation, and relationships that never die, even as it offers readers a glimpse of the mysteries that exist within the ordinary and challenges assumptions about the true nature of reality.
