Book Description
A short, sleek novel of encounters set in the witching hours of Tokyo between midnight and dawn, and every bit as gripping as Haruki Murakami’s masterworks The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Kafka on the Shore. At its center are two sisters: Yuri, a fashion model sleeping her way into oblivion; and Mari, a young student soon led from solitary reading at an anonymous Denny’s into lives radically alien to her own: those of a jazz trombonist who claims they’ve met before; a burly female “love hotel” manager and her maidstaff; and a Chinese prostitute savagely brutalized by a businessman. These “night people” are haunted by secrets and needs that draw them together more powerfully than the differing circumstances that might keep them apart, and it soon becomes clear that Yuri’s slumber—mysteriously tied to the businessman plagued by the mark of his crime—will either restore or annihilate her. After Dark moves from mesmerizing drama to metaphysical speculation, interweaving time and space as well as memory and perspective into a seamless exploration of human agency—the interplay between self-expression and understanding, between the power of observation and the scope of compassion and love. Murakami’s trademark humor, psychological insight and grasp of spirit and morality are here distilled with an extraordinary, harmonious mastery.

Book Description
“Among the most masterful storytellers alive today” (Gene Luen Yang), “few creators mine the pathos of a dark midcentury childhood like Small” (Washington Post). Since the publication of Stitches a decade ago, David Small has emerged as one of the seminal authors in the genre of graphic literature. Here, in Home After Dark, a Boston Globe Best Book of 2018, Small provides a “painfully honest” and “haunting work of unfolding surprise” (Jules Feiffer) that renders the brutality of adolescence in the 1950s. Through “gorgeous and expressive drawings” (Roz Chast), Small “recaptures the inchoate chaos of youth” (Jack Gantos), telling the story of thirteen- year- old Russell Pruitt, who, abandoned by his mother, follows his father to the sun- splashed land of California in search of a dream. Suddenly forced to fend for himself, Russell struggles to survive in Marshfield, a dilapidated town haunted by a sadistic animal killer and a ring of malicious boys. Eerily foreboding yet filled with uncanny psychological insights and stray glimmers of hope, Home After Dark confirms Small’s place as a modern master of graphic fiction.

Book Description
Guidance for Your Journey Sometimes, God’s Word is like candlelight that warms and comforts. Other times, it is a red flashing light that protects. Often, it’s a spotlight that exposes your need. And since you are called to walk by faith, you need light—in all its various forms—guiding your steps. Jennifer Rothschild ’s path, darkened by physical blindness, is illuminated by scriptural truth. And now she shares the keys to persevering and “clinging to the Sword” no matter what your circumstances. Lessons I Learned in the Light is a powerful collection of Scripture, intriguing autobiographical sketches, and pointed Bible study with personal, practical application questions that will encourage you every step of the way. “Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105 Have you known darkness? Are you there even now? There is a ray of hope that brings clarity and guidance: God’s Word—the Light that is better than life. And it wields the power to see you through absolutely anything. Jennifer Rothschild , in her physical blindness, found the secret to persevering with endurance and shares it candidly. No matter what you face today, Lessons I Learned in the Light will help you: cling to His Word carry no baggage pray like crazy be God-conscious enjoy the fish bowl No matter how dark the road, you can travel it courageously, secure in the Light. “For these commands and this teaching are a lamp to light the way ahead of you” (Proverbs 6:23 , NLT). “Jennifer Rothschild is a sincere and transparent example of what it means to press toward the goal—to live a thriving, courageous life in Christ.” Sara Groves Singer/songwriter “Like the Renaissance artists of old, Jennifer Rothschild sees with her heart. Through self-discipline, acute observation, and Christ centeredness, the tapestry of her life has been woven together by an unshakeable faith.” Luci Swindoll Author and speaker, Women of Faith “Her gentle, pleasing style first draws readers in and captures their imaginations. Only then does she deliver her more powerful punches." Publishers Weekly Story Behind the Book “I don’t have the privilege of reading God’s Word in the traditional sense, but I still rely on it as my source of power—power to persevere and thrive in a world of darkness. Without it, I would have quit a long time ago. Proverbs 6:23 says ‘These commands and this teaching are a lamp to light the way ahead of you’ (NLT). While Lessons I Learned in the Dark provided principles for walking by faith, Lessons I Learned in the Light offers fuel for running with endurance.” — Jennifer Rothschild From the Trade Paperback edition.
