Book Description
Scarface meets Moby Dick in Say Hello to My Little Friend—“a masterclass in pace and precision…brilliant” (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, National Book Award Finalist of Chain Gang All Stars) about a young man’s attempt to capitalize on his mother’s murky legacy—a story steeped in Miami’s marvelous and sinister magic. Failed Pitbull impersonator Ismael Reyes—you can call him Izzy—might not be the Scarface type, but why should that keep him from trying? Growing up in Miami has shaped him into someone who dreams of being the King of the 305, with the money, power, and respect he assumes comes with it. After finding himself at the mercy of a cease-and-desist letter from Pitbull’s legal team and living in his aunt’s garage, Izzy embarks on an absurd quest to turn himself into a modern-day Tony Montana. When Izzy’s efforts lead him to the tank that houses Lolita, a captive orca at the Miami Seaquarium, she proves just how powerful she and the water surrounding her really are—permeating everything from Miami’s sinking streets to Izzy’s memories to the very heart of the novel itself. What begins as Izzy’s story turns into a super-saturated fever dream as sprawling and surreal as the Magic City, one as sharp as an iguana’s claws, and as menacing as a killer whale’s teeth. As the truth surrounding Izzy’s boyhood escape from Cuba surfaces, the novel reckons with the forces of nature, with the limits and absence of love, and with the dangers of pursuing a tragic inheritance. “Blistering, hilarious, [and] tragic” (The Miami Herald), Say Hello to My Little Friend is Jennine Capó Crucet’s most daring, heartbreaking, and fearless book yet.

Book Description
Scarface meets Moby Dick in Say Hello to My Little Friend—“a masterclass in pace and precision…brilliant” (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, National Book Award Finalist of Chain Gang All Stars) about a young man’s attempt to capitalize on his mother’s murky legacy—a story steeped in Miami’s marvelous and sinister magic. Failed Pitbull impersonator Ismael Reyes—you can call him Izzy—might not be the Scarface type, but why should that keep him from trying? Growing up in Miami has shaped him into someone who dreams of being the King of the 305, with the money, power, and respect he assumes comes with it. After finding himself at the mercy of a cease-and-desist letter from Pitbull’s legal team and living in his aunt’s garage, Izzy embarks on an absurd quest to turn himself into a modern-day Tony Montana. When Izzy’s efforts lead him to the tank that houses Lolita, a captive orca at the Miami Seaquarium, she proves just how powerful she and the water surrounding her really are—permeating everything from Miami’s sinking streets to Izzy’s memories to the very heart of the novel itself. What begins as Izzy’s story turns into a super-saturated fever dream as sprawling and surreal as the Magic City, one as sharp as an iguana’s claws, and as menacing as a killer whale’s teeth. As the truth surrounding Izzy’s boyhood escape from Cuba surfaces, the novel reckons with the forces of nature, with the limits and absence of love, and with the dangers of pursuing a tragic inheritance. “Blistering, hilarious, [and] tragic” (The Miami Herald), Say Hello to My Little Friend is Jennine Capó Crucet’s most daring, heartbreaking, and fearless book yet.

My Little Friend
Author: Dallal Alexander
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1607998513
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Listening to an infant heartbeat. Feeling a life growing within a life. Seeing those small feet take those first steps. Hearing the cry of a child with a scraped knee. Having a little companion who walks, talks, and looks just like you. These are the myriad experiences intrinsic in the sacred tradition of family. This is what having a child means-but more than that, it means fulfilling the purpose God created when He created His own family: the human race. Just as we depend on God for our salvation and protection, so do children depend on their parents to provide them with guidance and moral support. Are you ready to accept the responsibility of another life and to follow in God's footsteps? In My Little Friend, author Dallal Alexander chronicles the miracle of creating a family in God's image and showing her children-her little buddies- the true miracle of communion with the Lord. Through the everyday struggles of life, the Holy Spirit is a helper, showing the true way to accomplish God's purpose to the family that embraces and recognizes the path they are meant to take. Dallal's account of family and faithfulness asserts God's decision to create humans to be his family and incites our duty as humans to create more sons and daughters for the Lord. Through dedication and faith, a family can grow together to overcome the trials and corruption of the world to live as God's 'little friends,' with the help of the Holy Spirit and a heart truly open to his plans. Dallal Alexander is a native of Egypt who has lived in America for the majority of her life. She now resides in Florida with her husband and three children.
