Book Description
One man, Leeway Matchers Jr. and two women; Shauna Matchers-Poster, his daughter and Debra Amber, his niece from a half-brother are at the center of the story. Three mothers; Juniors Mother, Ms. Lezzy, His ex-wife, and Shauna’s mother, Marie Wyatt and Debra’s mother affectionately known as Mama shaped Junior’s life. What they have in common is their beginning, South Carolina. They were all born in South Carolina. The two cousins see each other after Marie’s mother’s funeral in South Carolina and promise to keep in touch before another funeral but that does not happen. When Shauna goes back to South Carolina for her father’s mother’s funeral, Ms. Lezzy, Debra makes sure Shauna does not get away this time. They exchange email addresses and phone numbers. After two years of emailing each other about their lives and sagas they are pulled to meet each other in person once again for another funeral. The circle of life takes them on a journey dating back two decades. The world was challenging for the two young women sharing one indisputable fact, they grew up without their fathers. The women find that their strategies of living without a positive father figure as a role model may have clouded their judgments when it came to which type of men they should have allowed in their lives. Stories of molestation, rape, abuse, and betrayal are shared. You will experience the struggles or at least get a glimpse of being a struggling African American single mother. Confessions of marrying the right and wrong man, abortions (before Roe vs. Wade was overturned), and military sexual trauma (women who fought for our country but died at the hands of their fellow military buddies). Experience issues like; returning to college as a middle-aged mother (before student loan debts were canceled), raising a child with epilepsy, dealing with child neglect issues, holding out for the right careers, child support, and raising Black sons in America before the Black Lives Matter movement. Issues so heart-breaking they will make you laugh and cry at the same time. The cousins' “man cave” confessions will have you glued to every page as their journey to find the right man to unlock the man cave takes them into one eviction after another. This smart-witted, questionable-language-drama is filled with plenty of inspirational moments as the two cousins encourage each other to keep moving forward through prayer and praise. Their lives are an open book of laughter, love, pain, and strength you will love.

Book Description
When police raided the Short Creek compound of the Fundamental Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1953, it soon became a political and publicity nightmare and eventually cost the governor of Arizona his job. From that point on, skittish public officials allowed the polygamist sect to practice its tenants unmolested for the next 50 years and turned a blind eye to child abandonment, kidnapping, statutory rape, incest, and massive tax and welfare fraud. But then Warren Jeffs, a new FLDS prophet, escalated the sect's crimes to near madness. Activists watched in horror as he used his limitless authority and the resources of a tax-supported community—in essence, a feudal empire on the Utah/Arizona border—to devastate thousands of lives on cruel whims, marrying girls as young as 11 to 60-year-old men and driving off teenage “lost boys” who Jeffs felt threatened his authority. Answer Them Nothing is the chilling story of the victims, activists, prosecutors, judges, cops, and attorneys who in 2001 began the struggle to dismantle the FLDS empire and bring Jeffs and his henchmen to justice. It is a mesmerizing journey into one of America's darkest corners, a story that stretches over three states and deep into history of the powerful Mormon Church.

Book Description
A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year It was the year after Chappaquiddick, and all spring Carmel McBain had watery dreams about the disaster. Now she, Karina, and Julianne were escaping the dreary English countryside for a London University hall of residence. Interspersing accounts of her current position as a university student with recollections of her childhood and an ever difficult relationship with her longtime schoolmate Karina, Carmel reflects on a generation of girls desiring the power of men, but fearful of abandoning what is expected and proper. When these bright but confused young women land in late 1960s London, they are confronted with a slew of new preoccupations--sex, politics, food, and fertility--and a pointless grotesque tragedy of their own. Hilary Mantel's magnificent novel examines the pressures on women during the early days of contemporary feminism to excel--but not be too successful--in England's complex hierarchy of class and status.

Book Description
In Where You Once Belonged, the bestselling and award-winning novelist of Eventide, Kent Haruf tells of a small-town hero who is dealt an enviable hand--and cheats with all of the cards. Deftly plotted, defiantly honest, Where You Once Belonged sings the song of a wounded prairie community in a narrative with the earmarks of a modern American classic. In prose as lean and supple as a spring switch, Haruf describes a high school football star who wins the heart of the loveliest girl in the county and the admiration of men twice his age. Fun-loving, independent, Burdette engages in the occasional prank. But when he turns into a man, his high jinks turn into crimes--with unspeakable consequences. Now, eight years later, Burdette has returned to commit his greatest trespass of all. And the people of Holt may not be able to stop him.

Book Description
Quirke—the hard-drinking, insatiably curious Dublin pathologist—is back, and he's determined to find his daughter's best friend, a well-connected young doctor April Latimer has vanished. A junior doctor at a local hospital, she is something of a scandal in the conservative and highly patriarchal society of 1950s Dublin. Though her family is one of the most respected in the city, she is known for being independent-minded; her taste in men, for instance, is decidedly unconventional. Now April has disappeared, and her friend Phoebe Griffin suspects the worst. Frantic, Phoebe seeks out Quirke, her brilliant but erratic father, and asks him for help. Sober again after intensive treatment for alcoholism, Quirke enlists his old sparring partner, Detective Inspector Hackett, in the search for the missing young woman. In their separate ways the two men follow April's trail through some of the darker byways of the city to uncover crucial information on her whereabouts. And as Quirke becomes deeply involved in April's murky story, he encounters complicated and ugly truths about family savagery, Catholic ruthlessness, and race hatred. Both an absorbing crime novel and a brilliant portrait of the difficult and relentless love between a father and his daughter, this is Benjamin Black at his sparkling best.
