Book Description
Until recently, Maddy Page's life was pretty routine--morning runs, attending school, and avoiding the spotlight the rest of her family thrives in. But even with all the effort she puts into being unremarkable, someone's noticed. And who wouldn't want to be noticed by MJ? He's handsome, funny, and makes her feel safe--a feeling she's never experienced outside her dreams. MJ is supposed to be on a mundane assignment--save a mortal from a demon on a killing spree. But before he can make contact with his charge, Maddy happens. While every mortal is supposed to have a file as well as a Guardian Angel, she doesn't. She's immune to his compulsions and has abilities mortals shouldn't have. Worse yet, she isn't aware she has them. MJ knows he should focus on his job, but the mysteries surrounding Maddy are frighteningly addictive. And she's in more danger than either of them realizes. With no Guardian and no file, if she dies, neither Heaven nor Hell can claim her soul.

Book Description
Jessica Farleigh is desperate. She’s a courtesan, and when she’s asked to seduce Sir Mark and destroy his good name in exchange for enough money to solve all her problems, she agrees. There is, after all, no such thing as a good man, and she should know. She’s known men all her life. Sir Mark Turner wrote the book on male chastity—literally—and made a name for himself as an upright moralist. But he’s also a romantic, and he’s been waiting for the right woman to share his life, his heart, and yes, his bed. Jessica can’t fall in love with him. She can’t let herself respect him. And by the time she realizes she’s in love with him, it’s too late. The only way to win the freedom she needs is to destroy the most honorable man she’s ever met. Note: This book was originally released in 2011. This is a rerelease with an added epilogue.

Unclaimed Terrain
Author: Ajay Navaria
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781459699748
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
The narrator of the lead story in this collection occupies an 'unclaimed terrain', as do many of Ajay Navaria's characters. Journeying from a Dantewada village in India's east to the town of Nagpur and from there to Mumbai, the Byronic protagonist is raped, works as a masseur and then as a gigolo even while pursuing his education. The city teaches him the many meanings of labour, and he is freed - if ultimately destroyed - by its infinite possibilities for self - invention. As complex as they are political, Navaria's characters - ranging from a brahmin labourer to a dalit male prostitute - are neither black nor white, neither clearly good nor evil. They inhabit a grey zone; they linger in the transitional space between past object and future subject, between caste and democracy. Unclaimed Terrain represents Giramondo's commitment to South Asian literature and to writing which explores social difference and inequality.

The Unclaimed
Author: Pamela Prickett
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0593239059
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
“A rare and compassionate look into the lives of Americans who go unclaimed when they die and those who dedicate their lives to burying them with dignity.”—Matthew Desmond, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Poverty, by America “A work of grace . . . Both cleareyed and disturbing, yet pulsing with empathy.”—The New York Times (Editors’ Choice) For centuries, people who died destitute or alone were buried in potters’ fields—a Dickensian end that even the most hard-pressed families tried to avoid. Today, more and more relatives are abandoning their dead, leaving it to local governments to dispose of the bodies. Up to 150,000 Americans now go unclaimed each year. Who are they? Why are they being forgotten? And what is the meaning of life if your death doesn’t matter to others? In this extraordinary work of narrative nonfiction, eight years in the making, sociologists Pamela Prickett and Stefan Timmermans uncover a hidden social world. They follow four individuals in Los Angeles, tracing the twisting, poignant paths that put each at risk of going unclaimed, and introducing us to the scene investigators, notification officers, and crematorium workers who care for them when no one else will. The Unclaimed lays bare the difficult truth that anyone can be abandoned. It forces us to confront a variety of social ills, from the fracturing of families and the loneliness of cities to the toll of rising inequality. But it is also filled with unexpected moments of tenderness. In Boyle Heights, a Mexican American neighborhood not far from the glitter of Hollywood, hundreds of strangers come together each year to mourn the deaths of people they never knew. These ceremonies, springing up across the country, reaffirm our shared humanity and help mend our frayed social fabric. Beautifully crafted and profoundly empathetic, The Unclaimed urges us to expand our circle of caring—in death and in life.
