Book Description
"Vengeance is sought by many.Forgiveness found by few" Fifteen years ago on the Fourth of July, Leon Anthony stared into the trusted eyes of his beloved father, then up at the fireworks and to the stars. His father's words echoed in his mind: "Forgive him, my son." As Leon stood over his father's lifeless body, his hands became little fists, still wet, dripping with his father's blood. The blurred image of a tattoo remained branded into his consciousness, the tattoo of the man who had murdered his father in cold blood. Now a grown man, Leon returns to Miami with a need for revenge burning deep in his soul. He vows to find his father's killer and finally eradicate years of guilt and pain. But retribution must take a backseat as Leon finds himself torn between the love of two women and forced to face his mother's painful secret. Leon learns that within the hurt, innocence can be lost and the man along with it. To survive, he must prove himself worthy of the love of a woman and, ultimately, the love of his father. But when one knocks upon the door of the past, there is always the chance that someone will answer.

Book Description
'Bunker Bean' is a comedy-genre novel written by Harry Leon Wilson. Its main character is Bunker Bean, a man who was often dissatisfied with his life and wishes he could be different. At one point, this discontent with himself was suffered in a moment of idleness as he sat at a desk on a high floor of a very high office-building in "downtown" New York. The first correction he would have made was that he should be "well over six feet" tall. He had observed that this was the accepted stature for a hero. A certain insignificant Bunker Bean was not like this. With a soul aspiring to stripes and checks that should make him a man to be looked at twice in a city street, he lacked courage for any but the quietest patterns. Longing for the cravat of brilliant hue, he ate out his heart under neutral tints. Had he not, in the intoxication of his first free afternoon in New York, boldly purchased a glorious thing of silk entirely, flatly red, an article to stamp its wearer with distinction; and had he not, in the seclusion of his rented room, that night hidden the flaming thing at the bottom of a bottom drawer, knowing in his sickened soul he dared not flaunt it?

Book Description
"A reminder that sometimes, there is a good reason to break the rules. . . .This winsome pairing of text and illustration is a natural for storytime." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL (starred review) (Ages 4-7) Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren't any rules about lions in the library. And, as it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting. His big feet are quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy backrest for the children at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at least not anymore. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the rescue in the only way he knows how. Michelle Knudsen's disarming story, illustrated by the matchless Kevin Hawkes in an expressive timeless style, will win over even the most ardent of rule keepers.
