Book Description
The Other Side of Hate is Love is a creative journal to process heartbreak through writing, doodling, and mindfulness practice. Write, draw, paint, and doodle in it. Do the exercises. Pour your heart out. In this book, Hanny shared her personal stories and life lessons, both the difficult and the easy, the lonely and the joyful, the bitter and the sweet, to accompany you throughout your heartbreak journey. ÒWhen Hanny first sent me this book, I didnÕt know what I would find inside the carefully prepared package. Fiction, non-fiction, or one of those particular books that seem to be everything in between. What I found was something close to her heart, and mine: a reflection on mistakes done by us and to us, a thorough insight on the process of healing, and a guide that speaks to us like a friend.Ó Ñ Rain Chudori, writer and curator of Comma Books

Book Description
Short adult story--what if Harry Stafford, the Duke of Buckingham, was gay and in love with Richard III? Stafford appeared out of the blue, became Richard's greatest supporter...then betrayed him utterly. Richard called him 'the most untrue creature living.' Could it have been rejection that drove the Duke to treason? And what about the Princes in the Tower? Some say the Duke knew more than he should about their disappearance....Note: This is an adult themed story but there is NO male/male sex scenes, just some fantasizing on the part of Buckingham. There are sexual situations depicted between the King and his wife Anne. Over 18's only.

Book Description
“A stunning debut by a truly gifted writer—an eye-opening read for both liberals and conservatives—and it could not come at a better time.”—Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Option B, with Sheryl Sandberg What is the opposite of hate? As a progressive commentator on Fox News and now CNN, Sally Kohn has made a career out of bridging intractable political differences and learning how to talk respectfully with people whose views she disagrees with passionately. Her viral TED Talk on the need to practice emotional—rather than political—correctness sparked a new way of considering how often we amplify our differences and diminish our connections. But these days even famously “nice” Kohn finds herself wanting to breathe fire at her enemies. It was time, she decided, to look into the epidemic of hate all around us and learn how we can stop it. In The Opposite of Hate, Kohn talks to leading scientists and researchers and investigates the evolutionary and cultural roots of hate and how incivility can be a gateway to much worse. She travels to Rwanda, the Middle East, and across the United States, introducing us to former terrorists and white supremacists, and even some of her own Twitter trolls, drawing surprising lessons from dramatic and inspiring stories of those who left hate behind. As Kohn confronts her own shameful moments, whether it was back when she bullied a classmate or today when she harbors deep partisan resentment, she discovers, “The opposite of hate is the beautiful and powerful reality of how we are all fundamentally linked and equal as human beings. The opposite of hate is connection.” Sally Kohn’s engaging, fascinating, and often funny book will open your eyes and your heart.

But in the aftermath of a horrific crime perpetrated hundreds of miles away, her life is turned upside down.

Book Description
This “stirring…emotionally raw” (Publishers Weekly) young adult debut novel about three teens entangled by secret love, open hatred, and the invisible societal constraints wrapped around people both Black and white is perfect for readers of All American Boys and The Hate U Give. There is an unspoken agreement between the racially divided towns of Bayside and Hamilton: no one steps over the train tracks that divide them. Or else. Not until Zach Whitman anyway, a white boy who moves in from Philly and who dreams of music. When he follows his dream across the tracks to meet his idol, the famous jazz musician who owns The Sunlight Record Shop in Hamilton, he’s flung into Capri Collins’s path. Capri has big plans: she wants to follow her late mother’s famous footsteps, dancing her way onto Broadway, and leaving this town for good, just like her older brother, Justin, is planning to do when he goes off to college next year. As sparks fly, Zach and Capri realize that they can help each other turn hope into a reality, even if it means crossing the tracks to do it. But one tragic night changes everything. When Justin’s friend, the star of Hamilton’s football team, is murdered by a white Bayside police officer, the long-standing feud between Bayside and Hamilton becomes an all-out war. And Capri, Justin, and Zach are right in the middle of it.

Book Description
What does "Poems from the Other Side" mean? Something I noticed about me is that I am analytical. I don't just look at issues and problems from on side like most people do. Most people are a bit selfish and only see the side that favors them. They never take the time to look at every side before making a conclusion. I however, look at the left, the right, the bottom, the top, the angles, the front, the back, the east, west, south, north, every side it has I analyze and dissect and research and once I am done, I make a conclusion that usually offends all sides. It's the truth, but not what people want to hear. So, I decided to write poetry, pros, monologues, and other stuff that come from the other side. The side you refuse to look at. The side that you don't even know exists, the side you are too afraid to look at or the side that does not benefit you. I took all the sides and created this work of art for those who are ready to see the other side. So enjoy Poems from the Other Side.
