GUILT & CONSEQUENCES
Author: Joseph Jacoby
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781734178517
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
GUILT & CONSEQUENCES is an Illustrated Novel of Psychological Suspense. It is formatted as "An Illustrated Movie" with each Chapter containing original "realistic" drawings (approximately 100 throughout the book), each encased within sprocketed motion picture frames, so that the reading experience is an amalgam of words and images that lend visual motion to time, place and characters. PLOT: A 12-year-old boy's father unexpectedly collapses and dies at a party given at their home in celebration of his advancement at his company. The boy's lucid dreaming provokes feelings of guilt that he is somehow responsible for his father's untimely passing, particularly because of a brief altercation bedtween them, had earlier at the party. It is summer and his Uncle Joe, a psychiatrist (his mother's older brother), suggests they use his summer cabin in the Poconos as a respite to escape and relax during this difficult time. To make bad matters worse, this initial trauma is followed by a heinous, unspeakable crime, leading us to suspect additional characters in this small town setting. Along the way, however, even deeper secrets unveil themselves in a daisy chain of shared life-long secrets and denials and their accompanying consequences.

The Best We Could Do
Author: Thi Bui
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1613129300
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
National bestseller 2017 National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) Finalist ABA Indies Introduce Winter / Spring 2017 Selection Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Spring 2017 Selection ALA 2018 Notable Books Selection An intimate and poignant graphic novel portraying one family’s journey from war-torn Vietnam, from debut author Thi Bui. This beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir about the search for a better future and a longing for the past. Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves. At the heart of Bui’s story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent—the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home. In what Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen calls “a book to break your heart and heal it,” The Best We Could Do brings to life Thi Bui’s journey of understanding, and provides inspiration to all of those who search for a better future while longing for a simpler past.
