Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB 2018 SELECTION “One of my favorite parts of summer is deciding what to read when things slow down just a bit, whether it’s on a vacation with family or just a quiet afternoon . . . An American Marriage by Tayari Jones is a moving portrayal of the effects of a wrongful conviction on a young African-American couple.” —Barack Obama “Haunting . . . Beautifully written.” —The New York Times Book Review “Brilliant and heartbreaking . . . Unforgettable.” —USA Today “A tense and timely love story . . . Packed with brave questions about race and class.” —People “Compelling.” —The Washington Post “Epic . . . Transcendent . . . Triumphant.” —Elle Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime Celestial knows he didn’t commit. Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend, and best man at their wedding. As Roy’s time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on to the love that has been her center. After five years, Roy’s conviction is suddenly overturned, and he returns to Atlanta ready to resume their life together. This stirring love story is a profoundly insightful look into the hearts and minds of three people who are at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control. An American Marriage is a masterpiece of storytelling, an intimate look deep into the souls of people who must reckon with the past while moving forward—with hope and pain—into the future.

With no memory of my past, the life I've known has been spent in hiding and on the run with my guardian, Mincey. Only few others knew I existed. Until now. A power-hungry Dragon Overlord and his generals hunt shifters, stealing their abilities for themselves. Those who would oppose them are scattered across two realms. Only the inability to wield both Light and Dark energies stands in their way.On Earth, the King of the Western States helps protect the shifters who reside within his borders and, after years of asking to join the effort, I finally convinced Mincey I was ready.In a single heartbeat, my life changed forever. While Mincey hunts a traitor, I'm stuck with three drool-worthy shifters who make the dark corners of my mind come alive. Forgotten memories start to resurface, I develop abilities that no shifter should have and, while Raiden, Murphy and Kage help me through it all, we discover that I am what the Dragon Overlord both needs and fears the most. I was the key to The Heart.Dive into a world of sexy sifters, secrets, and hope as Noemi and her men follow fate's twisted path on an adventure with no guarantees of survival. When her true destiny is revealed, it will change not just one realm, but all of them.That is, if it doesn't kill her first.Author's note: As the first book in The Heart of Edarus Series, it ends in a cliffhanger (sorry not sorry) and is over 100k words.

Book Description
Io Anthology celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of this formative journal and commemorates its role in opening a path to decades of innovative publishing. Bringing together in one volume the quirky blend of artistic and scholarly writing that characterized the literary journal, this book is a “greatest hits” collection of the major pieces published from 1965 to 1993. It features very early work from Stephen King, Gary Snyder, Jayne Anne Phillips, and many others, with forewords by writer and filmmaker Miranda July and historical ecologist Robin Grossinger, the daughter and son of the editors, who grew up with Io and were in part initiated in their careers by its household presence.
