Book Description
The newest Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 selection: this special eBook edition of The Twelve Tribes of Hattie by Ayana Mathis features exclusive content, including Oprah’s personal notes highlighted within the text, and a reading group guide. The arrival of a major new voice in contemporary fiction. A debut of extraordinary distinction: Ayana Mathis tells the story of the children of the Great Migration through the trials of one unforgettable family. In 1923, fifteen-year-old Hattie Shepherd flees Georgia and settles in Philadelphia, hoping for a chance at a better life. Instead, she marries a man who will bring her nothing but disappointment and watches helplessly as her firstborn twins succumb to an illness a few pennies could have prevented. Hattie gives birth to nine more children whom she raises with grit and mettle and not an ounce of the tenderness they crave. She vows to prepare them for the calamitous difficulty they are sure to face in their later lives, to meet a world that will not love them, a world that will not be kind. Captured here in twelve luminous narrative threads, their lives tell the story of a mother’s monumental courage and the journey of a nation. Beautiful and devastating, Ayana Mathis’s The Twelve Tribes of Hattie is wondrous from first to last—glorious, harrowing, unexpectedly uplifting, and blazing with life. An emotionally transfixing page-turner, a searing portrait of striving in the face of insurmountable adversity, an indelible encounter with the resilience of the human spirit and the driving force of the American dream.

Book Description
Everybody loves a good story. A great storyteller can captivate children, enchant adults, and change the minds and hearts of those who listen. Jesus was a master storyteller. His parables continue to intrigue, inspire, puzzle, challenge, and amuse all who encounter them. In Tell Me Your Story: The Parables of Jesus, Arthur Zannoni offers insight into the stories that Jesus told, using the latest Scripture scholarship. Then he invites us to understand the stories as challenges for today's disciples and as a key to helping us unfold the mysteries of our own stories. Preachers, catechists, Bible study groups, continuing education classes, and individuals who wish to grow in their appreciation of the word of God will all appreciate and enjoy this book.

Blame us not if we value our liturgy: It embodies the anthems of Saints; it thrills the heart with the dying songs of the faithful; it is hallowed with the blood of martyrs; it glows with sacred fire. -J. S. Foulk It is impossible to take the little finger of liturgy without grasping the whole fist of theology! -Gerardus van der Leeuw
