Book Description
In this unorthodox tale of power plays, love affairs, and betrayal, two ambitious sisters learn that everything comes at a price—and what may feel good isn’t always good for you. Pink lips can be a sign of grace, class, and beauty, but for sisters Willow and Kail, it means power and respect. They will do anything under the sun to become part of the higher echelon, so they pay a massive fee to join an organization and get their lips etched in pink. And life is good for the pair—until an accidental phone dismantles the whole organization. With their lives upended, Willow and Kail flee to the streets of their hometown, Philadelphia, for a fresh start. With a new clientele and a hunger for money, they try to resurrect the organization that ended at their own hands. Money is the main goal for everyone involved until Willow meets Duke, a neighborhood hardhead, and is bitten by the love bug. Kail objects to the relationship, but Willow ignores her sister’s warnings, falling deeper and deeper in love. As the sisters turn against each other, skeletons hidden in the closet are revealed, and the saying “blood is thicker than water” is tested to the fullest. Will they be able to come to an agreement, or will blood be shed first?

Book Description
What would you do if you knew your time was short? Pink Lips and Fingertips answers this question through the life of Jeri Ivison Paholek, who was born with a rare heart defect called common ventricle and given a death sentence by the medical community. Instead of retreating inward and playing it safe to extend her years or embarking on extravagant global adventures, Jeri chose to impact the world for Christ-whether by corresponding with convicted bomber Timothy McVeigh on death row or starting a prayer stand immediately after the 9/11 attacks. Her indomitable spirit in the face of death will inspire and captivate. You will not approach life the same way after reading this book. "Rick Weber has always searched for greater understanding of his subjects and the obstacles they face. Finding solace and inspiration in their tales goes beyond merely the details of his career, but permeates who Rick is on a personal level. It's again obvious in his best work to date, Pink Lips and Fingertips. Jeri's story isn't just for those of faith, but for those who simply need to understand the will to survive and thrive in the face of life-threatening challenge." -Jason Cole, Yahoo! "This is an inspiring story that recognizes all heroes don't march in parades or speak before crowds. Jeri is petite and literally suffers from a broken heart. But she refuses to disconnect from God, who authors a supernatural miracle activated by love, courage and faith." -Armando Salguero, Miami Herald RICK WEBER graduated from Penn State with a B.A. in journalism. He has won the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism, been honored twice by the Associated Press Sports Editors and contributed to Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Golf Book. He lives in Katy, Texas, with his son, Austin.

Book Description
This collection of essays examines the varied and influential work of Montreal writer Gail Scott, the feminist and experimental writer who placed Quebec women's writing on the map. Whether working as a bilingual journalist covering political and cultural events in 1970s Quebec, an anglophone writing with the many languages of Montreal in her ears, or a queer writer whose work with "new narrative" links her with writers across the United States, Scott transforms the spaces between communities into spaces of cultural and intellectual possibility. These essays explore her novels, essays, and short stories, which engage a range of issues central to contemporary thought including: the porosity of the subject; the body as sensory interface; history as montage; the novel as multimedia installation; the cosmopolitan center as capitalist and colonialist ruin; and realism as an accumulation of time frames, angles of vision, and events going on simultaneously in different spaces.This collection of essays examines the varied and influential work of Montreal writer Gail Scott, the feminist and experimental writer who placed Quebec women's writing on the map.

Book Description
This book is a storytelling venture. The idea was planted originally by my cousin Stephen. He once said, "My mother always talked about how it was years ago". So this is an attempt to tell Stephen and the rest of the young people in my family and in all families what it was like way back then. Part I starts the book off with what was the trip of a lifetime. My travels to Senegal West Africa. Part I ends with the reader at my family reunion listening as I greet and meet the family. I try to give them a feeling of what goes on there in the course of the day. Part II is filled with information about the good old days. While Part III gives an intimate peek into my childhood. Part IV, V, and VI really gives a lot of information about the family traditions. This book runs the full gamut of emotions. You will laugh, you may cry. You will have some serious thoughts, but you are sure to have plenty of fun. Some chapters are going to make your mouth water, as I give you a peek at some of the family recipes. Ha!

Book Description
From Hannah Lavery, Edinburgh's Makar. 'Speaks to and for the conflicted conscience of Scotland ... with a power and authenticity like perhaps no other' – The Scotsman In a moment that is demanding you to constantly choose your side, how do you find your humanity, your own voice, when you are being pushed to find safety in numbers? Blood Salt Spring is a meditation on where we are – exploring ideas of nation, race and belonging. Much of the collection was written in lockdown and speaks to that moment, the isolation and the traumas of 2020 but it also looks to find some meaning and makes an attempt to heal the pain and vulnerabilities that were picked and cut open again in the recent cultural shifts and political wars. Organised into three sections this book takes the reader on a journey from the old inherited wounds, the trauma of tearing open again these chasms within recent discourses and events, to a hopeful spring, where pain and trauma can be laid down and a new future can be imagined. In this collection, the poet has sought to heal these salted wounds, and move out of winter and into spring – into hope. The National Theatre of Scotland has launched a new digital visual album, Blood, Salt, Spring - a digital accompaniment to Hannah Lavery's collection. You can view the visual album here .
