Book Description
This is a story about a very confusing young lady who relishes torment but disallows tenderness. When Born, her boyfriend, pushes her around and humiliates her, she submits to his abuse, but when Plus, another admirer, wants to advance with kindness, she responds with resentment. Is she in search of love, or does she love to be insulted? Born was upset at Diane because she stopped to talk with some friends. When they were in the hall of their building, he grasped the back of her neck with a firm grip and berated her, Who the fuck you think you are! You dont stop and talk to nobody when you with me, bitch! I ought to fuck your dumb ass up right now. Then he shoved her ahead with the heavy grocery bags in her arms. Later on Dianes admirer named Plus came by and caught her by surprise. Plus was really fond of Diane, telling her, Stop apologizing for everything, and stop bending over backward trying to appease a headache. Youre trying too hard to make this guy comfortable, and its not going to happen! Diane was somber as she responded, Man, your saying all the right things. I really do appreciate it too. Plus stopped her, saying, Look, Diane, you dont have to be a fool for this dude. Just let me see you sometime just to talk, and I have no problem removing trash. Suddenly Born angrily burst out of the building looking fierce as he glared at Plus, who returned the gaze. Diane froze in fear looking up at Born with bulging eyes. Plus and Born were about to clash when Diane stepped between them, shouting, Stop! Stop! Dont fight, I said! She turned to face Plus. Plus, what are you doing? Just what the hell are you doing? I dont wanna talk to you! You should have just kept going by. I know what I can do, and I know I dont want you. Born is my man, and I dont ever want talk to you again, okay. Dont come around here picking a fight with my man over me because youre not all that, now, bye! She went into the building leaving Plus standing by the stoop, and he was stunned by the event.

Book Description
The newest Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 selection: this special eBook edition of The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd features exclusive content, including Oprah’s personal notes highlighted within the text, and a reading group guide. Writing at the height of her narrative and imaginative gifts, Sue Monk Kidd presents a masterpiece of hope, daring, the quest for freedom, and the desire to have a voice in the world. Hetty “Handful” Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke’s daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women. Kidd’s sweeping novel is set in motion on Sarah’s eleventh birthday, when she is given ownership of ten year old Handful, who is to be her handmaid. We follow their remarkable journeys over the next thirty five years, as both strive for a life of their own, dramatically shaping each other’s destinies and forming a complex relationship marked by guilt, defiance, estrangement and the uneasy ways of love. As the stories build to a riveting climax, Handful will endure loss and sorrow, finding courage and a sense of self in the process. Sarah will experience crushed hopes, betrayal, unrequited love, and ostracism before leaving Charleston to find her place alongside her fearless younger sister, Angelina, as one of the early pioneers in the abolition and women’s rights movements. Inspired by the historical figure of Sarah Grimke, Kidd goes beyond the record to flesh out the rich interior lives of all of her characters, both real and invented, including Handful’s cunning mother, Charlotte, who courts danger in her search for something better. This exquisitely written novel is a triumph of storytelling that looks with unswerving eyes at a devastating wound in American history, through women whose struggles for liberation, empowerment, and expression will leave no reader unmoved. Please note there is another digital edition available without Oprah’s notes. Go to Oprah.com/bookclub for more OBC 2.0 content

Alex has changed her last name to Bell, her hair color to blond, and her life story to middle-class American to get a job in government. She had hoped to keep her personal history a secret in her new life in Washington, but she risks exposure to catch a murderer before J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI catches her first.

He messed up their romance when he dished out too much male swagger. She gets enough of that on the job to put up with it in her personal life—regardless of how hot Clay may be. Then her niece is kidnapped, and suddenly he is the only cop Jane trusts to lead the search. The rush of attraction sizzling between them surprises her. So does his determination to prove she’s wrong about him. It could be just the tense situation—or it could be Clay—but Jane’s feelings for him are growing. Maybe they deserve a second chance . . . “This novel kept me enthralled from beginning until the end . . . the overall book was just amazing. Ms. Johnson has the ability to keep your attention and as with most good series leave you wanting more . . . If you enjoy mystery mixed with a bit of romance this is your kind of book.” —Harlequin Junkie (4 1/2 stars)

Book Description
An odyssey from pre–Civil War Charleston to post–World War II Minneapolis through Jewish immigrants' eyes The histories of US immigrants do not always begin and end in Ellis Island and northeastern cities. Many arrived earlier and some migrated south and west, fanning out into their vast new country. They sought a renewed life, fresh prospects, and a safe harbor, despite a nation that was not always welcoming and not always tolerant. How to Become an American begins with an abandoned diary—and from there author Daniel Wolff examines the sweeping history of immigration into the United States through the experiences of one unnamed, seemingly unremarkable Jewish family, and, in the process, makes their lives remarkable. It is a deeply human odyssey that journeys from pre–Civil War Charleston, South Carolina, to post–World War II Minneapolis, Minnesota. In some ways, the family's journey parallels that of the nation, as it struggled to define itself through the Industrial Age. A persistent strain of loneliness permeates this story, and Wolff holds up this theme for contemplation. In a country that prides itself on being "a nation of immigrants," where "all men are created equal," why do we end up feeling alone in the land we love?

Book Description
"De Cespedes' work has lost none of its subversive force” —The New York Times Book Review From the author of Forbidden Notebook, Alba de Céspedes, a richly told novel she called “the story of a great love and of a crime.” As she looks back on her life, Alessandra Corteggiani recalls her youth during the rise of fascism in Italy, the resistance, and the fall of Mussolini, the lives of the women in her family and her working-class neighborhood, rigorously committed to telling “her side of the story.” Alessandra witnesses her mother, an aspiring concert pianist, suffer from the inability to escape her oppressive marriage. Later, she is sent away to live with her father's relatives in the country, in the hope she’ll finally learn to submit herself to the patriarchal system and authority. But at the farm, Alessandra grows increasingly rebellious, conscious of the unjust treatment of generations of hardworking women in her family. When she refuses the marriage proposal from a neighboring farmer, she is sent back to Rome to tend to her ailing father. In Rome, Alessandra meets Francesco, a charismatic anti-fascist professor, who ostensibly admires and supports her sense of independence and justice. But she soon comes to recognize that even as she respects Francesco and is keen to participate in his struggle to reclaim their country from fascism, this respect is unrequited, and that her own beloved husband is ensnared by patriarchal conventions when it comes to their relationship. In these pages, De Céspedes delivers a breathtakingly accurate and timeless portrayal of the complexity of the female condition against the dramatic backdrop of WWII and the partisan uprising in Italy.
