WELCOME TO NEW YORK A PERILOUS PLAYGROUND FOR THE RICH, THE YOUNG AND THE TROUBLED, AND THE CRIMINALS WHO PREY UPON THEM. Fueled by black coffee and vengeance, Felix Novak speeds across the country to New York City on a mission to find and kill whoever's responsible for his sister's death. Felix's childhood friend, Soraya Navarro, collided with the drug-addled Penelope the night she died. But Soraya may be too close to the nightclub establishment to really help. With time against him, Felix is forced to turn to the last person he wants to see: his father. A disgraced former cop turned P.I., Franklin Novak has the connections and muscle to work the city's underworld. Soraya doesn't trust Franklin, and the past has given her good reason. But Felix knows Franklin may be their only hope if they're ever going to catch his sister's killer.

Book Description
My name is Grace, not "Kyle's little sister!" Having a good-looking, friendly, outgoing older brother sucks—especially when you're the total opposite, someone who likes staying home and playing video games. Your parents like him better (even if they deny it!), and everyone calls you "Kyle's little sister" while looking disappointed that you're not more like him. I was really hoping I'd get to go to a different middle school, but no such luck. At least I have my friends...until he finds a way to ruin that, too...! Argh! What do I have to do to get out of his shadow?!

Book Description
This gripping account of William Gregory Smith aka Cyril Johnson is indicative of twenty-five years of deception, abuse of power and character assassination by the Working People Alliance (WPA). This brutally honest book exposes the WPA in the web of Lies and Betrayal. My brother, William Gregory Smith, did not seek out Dr. Walter Rodney and the WPA. They sought him for his brilliance in the field of electronics. The resulting alliance led to the loss of a brilliant mind and son of Guyana. It will become quite clear after reading this account, that once can safely conclude that history, as we know it, is not always accurate.

Small Doses of Arsenic is a historical memoir of a spirited woman born into a village in Bohemia in 1905. Tonca began writing her memoirs in conversational letters to her emigrant son in America when she was 80 and continued sending them up to the age of 91. In a Czechoslovakia that was buffeted by two world wars and the Soviet occupation, Tonca's letters discuss family and social matters, creating a humanized version of history that reflects the lives of rural, working-class Czech poor of the twentieth century.

Book Description
Jess was born into an Australian family in the late 1940s. She had two older sisters and a brother until she was eight, when another brother was born. Her mother, May, was also the youngest in her family, which was dominated by her mother. May did as she was told and was the dutiful daughter and wife, but resentment built up in her life, which she unknowingly took out on her children. Jess spent her lonely childhood in a dysfunctional household, with the only relief being her vivid imagination and a love of the sea. Her sisters teased her and called her the baby, but Jess knew she had something quite special: her world of words. Without the words and the sea, Jess may not have come through life, but her adult world reflects her strength and determination. This is a story of one woman’s journey and survival, despite the emotional vacuum that surrounded her early years.
