Book excerpt: "In my career, I've helped develop and polish many good stories. Few have been as memorable and enjoyable as "Heart of Courage." Once the editor, but now a fan, I eagerly await the next book in the series." --Arlene W. Robinson, Freelance Editor The island of Tandori has seen more war than peace for as long as anyone can remember. A battleground for the foreign canine and feline peoples of Everlet and Hohleran, Tandori is also home to an indigenous race of lizards that remains neutral in the ancient conflict, but hardly dormant. The ever-changing tides of war soon engulf Rhomand, a young canine officer who finds himself engaged in a battle deep in enemy territory, fighting both for his own life and the life of his childhood friend, Ayana. As the war surrounding Rhomand rages, a threat surfaces that knows no mercy and respects no race. It attracts the attention of Veia, a powerful mage and keeper of arcane arts. The foreboding signs, stretching from common battlefields to the secluded lizard cities, lead to an undertaking that envelops not only Veia and her companions, but also an unsuspecting Rhomand and Ayana. Should they fail, the fate of their world will become shrouded in darkness.

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.

Download or read book All We Can Save written by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and published by One World. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Provocative and illuminating essays from women at the forefront of the climate movement who are harnessing truth, courage, and solutions to lead humanity forward. “A powerful read that fills one with, dare I say . . . hope?”—The New York Times NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE There is a renaissance blooming in the climate movement: leadership that is more characteristically feminine and more faithfully feminist, rooted in compassion, connection, creativity, and collaboration. While it’s clear that women and girls are vital voices and agents of change for this planet, they are too often missing from the proverbial table. More than a problem of bias, it’s a dynamic that sets us up for failure. To change everything, we need everyone. All We Can Save illuminates the expertise and insights of dozens of diverse women leading on climate in the United States—scientists, journalists, farmers, lawyers, teachers, activists, innovators, wonks, and designers, across generations, geographies, and race—and aims to advance a more representative, nuanced, and solution-oriented public conversation on the climate crisis. These women offer a spectrum of ideas and insights for how we can rapidly, radically reshape society. Intermixing essays with poetry and art, this book is both a balm and a guide for knowing and holding what has been done to the world, while bolstering our resolve never to give up on one another or our collective future. We must summon truth, courage, and solutions to turn away from the brink and toward life-giving possibility. Curated by two climate leaders, the book is a collection and celebration of visionaries who are leading us on a path toward all we can save.

Download or read book For the Love of the Child written by Cedric Marlowe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A self-absorbed, womanizing businessman has an unexpected child by a carefree single mother of two children. Infuriated by the womans deceptive assurances of birth control, he wants nothing to do with her or the unborn child. To appease his conscience, he reasons that her deception has cast doubt on the true paternity of the child while reaffirming his own lack of emotional attachment over a passing fling. However, several months into the pregnancy, he cannot resist the gnawing feeling that the unborn child, potentially his first, is his and may need him. As he juggles his feelings of guilt, with the escalating feelings the mother begins to cultivate toward him, he comes to crossroads: continue down the same selfish, fleshly path that caused this, or begin living with a purpose, a cause. Yet if he decides to change himself, can he change the stereotype that envelopes, the system that rejects, and the society that questions? How hard will a father fight for the love of his child? For the Love of the Child shows how one fathers custodial fight for his endangered daughter magnifies the traditional flaws of gender inequality and prejudice within the judicial system.
