Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Room, Hood is a tale of grief and lust, frustration and hilarity, death and family. “Hood is thoroughly contemporary in how richly it depicts a beloved's death to review a couple's bumpy love history...This book's real pleasures lie in its intimate insights, its accurate characters and its sharp, rich observations... the greatest achievement of Hood is how it captures the domesticity of erotic passion” – Boston Globe Penelope O’Grady and Cara Wall are risking disaster when, like teenagers in any intolerant time and place—here, a Dublin convent school in the late 1970s—they fall in love. Yet Cara, the free spirit, and Pen, the stoic, craft a bond so strong it seems as though nothing could sever it: not the bickering, not the secrets, not even Cara’s infidelities. But thirteen years on, a car crash kills Cara and rips the lid off Pen’s world. Pen is still in the closet, teaching at her old school, living under the roof of Cara’s gentle father, who thinks of her as his daughter’s friend. How can she survive widowhood without even daring to claim the word? Over the course of one surreal week of bereavement, she is battered by memories that range from the humiliating, to the exalted, to the erotic, to the funny. It will take Pen all her intelligence and wit to sort through her tumultuous past with Cara, and all the nerve she can muster to start remaking her life. Donoghue’s Hood is a masterfully crafted narrative of relationships and a daring, deft exploration of the love’s imperfection—and how it can nonetheless dominate our lives as we grow and change.

Book Description
Peace no longer resides in Normani's existence, and as she stares down the barrel of Preaux’s gun, she has to wonder if her destiny isn't to be happy, but to pay for her wrongdoings with her life. When her meeting with fate is cancelled, Normani is forced to reevaluate the damage she has done to not only her family, but her grandparents as well. Revelations and family secrets have overrun the Pope family, destroying their already faulty bonds. Their loyalty has been tainted, and it is up to Normani to repair their trust, however such a feat seems impossible. Her grandparents’ marriage is holding on by a vow, Nicole struggles with learning how to love and let go, and Normani has her own issues to deal with regarding her budding relationship with Urban. What was the promise of one night has blossomed into a full blown affair, one that Normani navigates with optimism until the reality of their situation sets in. Urban has a family, a longtime fiancée and daughter to consider. These obstacles force Normani to guard her heart, and when a certain someone enters the picture with the promises of no drama, she has to decide if her feelings for Urban are strong enough, or will she end up being adored by someone else? As Normani works to mend her family, Urban discovers that his once tight knit unit is falling apart at the seams. With the Veracruz Cartel still seeking answers to the slaying of Gabriel Garza, Urban knows it is only a matter of time before his family is targeted for the cartel’s version of retributive justice. The eye-for-an-eye they have their sights set on would be Kelsey, who is not only dealing with growing pains, but discovering the world she lives in isn't black and white, but various shades of gray that come with the Mackenzie name. The arrangement he has with Shahily no longer holds the same appeal as it did before. Forced to maneuver around his present while spending time with his future, Urban feels as if he's struck a balance when Normani reminds him their relationship can't be at his convenience, that unlike Shahily, she has her entire life ahead of her. Time isn't on his side, and he has to risk the comfort of his current life for the reward of true love. The problem is that Shahily isn't letting go without a fight. With Ángel Garza out of the picture, Trish can finally let go of the pain and hurt monopolizing her life. At the very close of their relationship, a new one filled with promise is created when she meets Winston O’Neal, a wealthy lawyer with only eyes for her. He’s everything she deserves after being terrorized by Ángel, and it feels good to be in a relationship with someone who has no ties to the game, except there’s one handsome problem: Koi Mackenzie. Trish can’t deny her feelings for Koi, but she feels more like a project than a potential girlfriend. Koi has saved her from herself more times than she can count, and it feels more like he’s trying to save himself from past hurt. But when Camila Garza approaches Trish with a warning to the deadly events to come, Trish may have to put her trust in a Mackenzie once again.

Book Description
Organizations are not human, but they are made up of people. Examining the organization, functioning, growing and developing and moving together as one unit, the well-being and success of that organization depends on the well-being of people that make it up. Love, in its various forms, is the energy that motivates and fuels creativity, care, innovation, progress and well-being. Traditionally, organizational structures have been set up to support compliance and command and control, which often discourages love and creates policies against love at the workplace. The result has been reduced growth, productivity and retention of businesses as well as reduced well-being for employees. This reduced connectivity between individuals has also, at a higher level, adversely affected society. Without love, people are working and performing with reduced energy, and at reduced capacity. While prior research has been focused on love at the workplace from the viewpoint of psychologists, this book explores the impact of love within organizational contexts from various viewpoints including management, psychology, and philosophy. It explores love in the organizational context by looking at how it affects meaning, purpose, well-being, motivation, faith, care, spiritual development and how the identity and well-being of each person in the organization positively affects retention and the growth and success of that organization. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, and advanced students in the fields of organizational studies, leadership, and management.

Book Description
From Roxane Gay to Leslie Jamison, thirty brilliant writers share their timeless stories about the everlasting magic—and occasional misery—of living in the Big Apple, in a new edition of the classic anthology. In the revised edition of this classic collection, thirty writers share their own stories of loving and leaving New York, capturing the mesmerizing allure the city has always had for writers, poets, and wandering spirits. Their essays often begin as love stories do, with the passion of something newly discovered: the crush of subway crowds, the streets filled with manic energy, and the sudden, unblinking certainty that this is the only place on Earth where one can become exactly who she is meant to be. They also share the grief that comes like a gut-punch, when the grand metropolis loses its magic and the pressures of New York's frenetic life wear thin for even the most dedicated dwellers. As friends move away, rents soar, and love—still—remains just out of reach, each writer's goodbye is singular and universal, just like New York itself.
