For fans of Gilmore Girls and To All the Boys I've Loved Before, this effervescent love story from debut author Nina Moreno will sweep you away. Rosa Santos is cursed by the sea—at least, that's what they say. Dating her is bad news, especially if you're a boy with a boat. But Rosa feels more caught than cursed. Caught between cultures and choices. Between her abuela, a beloved healer and pillar of their community, and her mother, an artist who crashes in and out of her life like a hurricane. Between Port Coral, the quirky South Florida town they call home, and Cuba, the island her abuela refuses to talk about. As her college decision looms, Rosa collides—literally—with Alex Aquino, the mysterious boy with tattoos of the ocean whose family owns the marina. With her heart, family, and future on the line, can Rosa break a curse and find her place beyond the horizon?

Book Description
A Refinery29 Best Summer Thriller · An Amazon Best Book of the Month The anxieties of motherhood take center stage in this “atmospheric and very creepy” debut psychological thriller that reinvents the changeling myth with the flair of Angela Carter (Guardian). Everyone says Lauren Tranter is exhausted, that she needs rest. And they’re right; with newborn twins, Morgan and Riley, she’s never been more tired in her life. But she knows what she saw: that night, in her hospital room, a woman tried to take her babies and replace them with her own...creatures. Yet when the police arrived, they saw no one. Everyone, from her doctor to her husband, thinks she’s imagining things. A month passes and one bright summer morning, the babies disappear from Lauren’s side in a park. When they’re found, something is different about them. The infants look like Morgan and Riley—to everyone else. But to Lauren, something is off. As everyone around her celebrates their return, Lauren begins to scream, These are not my babies. Determined to bring her true infant sons home, Lauren will risk the unthinkable. But if she’s wrong about what she saw...she’ll be making the biggest mistake of her life. Compulsive, creepy, and inspired by some of our darkest fairy tales, Little Darlings will have you checking—and rechecking—your own little ones. Just to be sure. Just to be safe. “Chilling story, beautiful prose.” —Clare Mackintosh, New York Times bestselling author of I Let You Go

If your dying son asked you to become a very good man, and you weren’t, what would you do? John Tatum’s answer is to attempt suicide. This makes no sense to psychiatrist Rose Sacare. After all, as a vice president for Hamilton Pharmaceuticals, Tatum had just launched Multi- Zan, a drug that puts multiple sclerosis into remission. Dr. Sacare personally champions Tatum’s recovery until his secret acts of bravery and generosity earn him the media’s title of the “Hero of the Homeless.” As Tatum heals and the magnitude of his good deeds mounts, his feelings for Rose grow as well, and he once again believes that happiness is within reach. Why, then, will he not reveal his true identity to his growing crowd of admirers. And why do his coworkers at Hamilton fear for his complete recovery? A story of loss and redemption, “A Very Good Man” confronts the moral issues of our times, and challenges the reader to think about what they would do to make the world a better place if given a second chance.

Academic Achievers
Author: Pierre W. Orelus
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9460912370
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
It is ironic that our ever-present preoccupation with closing the achievement gap is insufficiently articulated in current federal education policy. To this end, Pierre Orelus’ study cogently underscores the fruitfulness of caring teachers’ persistence in bridging the all-too-frequent gulf that exists between school and community together with an apprenticeship model that saturates youth in academic discourses. This is an encouraging and inspiring read. Angela Valenzuela, College of Education, University of Texas at Austin, author of Subtractive Schooling and Leaving Children Behind.
