Download or read book Blackout written by Candace Owens and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER It’s time for a black exit. Political activist and social media star Candace Owens addresses the many ways that Democrat Party policies hurt, rather than help, the African American community, and why she and many others are turning right. Black Americans have long been shackled to the Democrats. Seeing no viable alternative, they have watched liberal politicians take the black vote for granted without pledging anything in return. In Blackout, Owens argues that this automatic allegiance is both illogical and unearned. She contends that the Democrat Party has a long history of racism and exposes the ideals that hinder the black community’s ability to rise above poverty, live independent and successful lives, and be an active part of the American Dream. Instead, Owens offers up a different ideology by issuing a challenge: It’s time for a major black exodus. From dependency, from victimhood, from miseducation—and the Democrat Party, which perpetuates all three. Owens explains that government assistance is a double-edged sword, that the Left dismisses the faith so important to the black community, that Democrat permissiveness toward abortion disproportionately affects black babies, that the #MeToo movement hurts black men, and much more. Weaving in her personal story, which ushered her from a roach-infested low-income apartment to1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, she demonstrates how she overcame her setbacks and challenges despite the cultural expectation that she should embrace a victim mentality. Well-researched and intelligently argued, Blackout lays bare the myth that all black people should vote Democrat—and shows why turning to the right will leave them happier, more successful, and more self-sufficient.

Book excerpt: Maybe it’s the end of the world, but not for Candace Chen, a millennial, first-generation American and office drone meandering her way into adulthood in Ling Ma’s offbeat, wryly funny, apocalyptic satire, Severance. "A stunning, audacious book with a fresh take on both office politics and what the apocalypse might bring." —Michael Schaub, NPR.org “A satirical spin on the end times-- kind of like The Office meets The Leftovers.” --Estelle Tang, Elle NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY: NPR * The New Yorker ("Books We Loved") * Elle * Marie Claire * Amazon Editors * The Paris Review (Staff Favorites) * Refinery29 * Bustle * Buzzfeed * BookPage * Bookish * Mental Floss * Chicago Review of Books * HuffPost * Electric Literature * A.V.

With the recent passing of her Chinese immigrant parents, she’s had her fill of uncertainty. She’s content just to carry on: She goes to work, troubleshoots the teen-targeted Gemstone Bible, watches movies in a Greenpoint basement with her boyfriend. So Candace barely notices when a plague of biblical proportions sweeps New York. Then Shen Fever spreads. Families flee. Companies cease operations. The subways screech to a halt. Her bosses enlist her as part of a dwindling skeleton crew with a big end-date payoff. Soon entirely alone, still unfevered, she photographs the eerie, abandoned city as the anonymous blogger NY Ghost. Candace won’t be able to make it on her own forever, though. Enter a group of survivors, led by the power-hungry IT tech Bob. They’re traveling to a place called the Facility, where, Bob promises, they will have everything they need to start society anew. But Candace is carrying a secret she knows Bob will exploit. Should she escape from her rescuers? A send-up and takedown of the rituals, routines, and missed opportunities of contemporary life, Ling Ma’s Severance is a moving family story, a quirky coming-of-adulthood tale, and a hilarious, deadpan satire. Most important, it’s a heartfelt tribute to the connections that drive us to do more than survive.

Book excerpt: PROLOGUE Accused of using his well-known import/export company as a front for an illegal smuggling operation, Halston Wellington, II was not only faced with losing his three-generation business, he was faced with losing his freedom … and something even more valuable, he realizes upon meeting international criminal attorney Candace Younger. *** “And what is that Halston? What do you want?” Candace asked, her light-brown gaze holding his steamy emerald one. Was the candlelight playing tricks, or did the color of his eyes change with his emotions – like that mood ring she remembered getting as a retro holiday gift as a child? “Even though I asked you first, I will answer first,” he said. “Would it surprise you to know that I want a family? … Would it surprise you to know that what I want most of all Candace, is you?” *** Lying under him, Candace curved her body into his. "Mmm," she cooed as her palms glided along the smoothness of his shoulders and back. "Adios mio you're so beautiful," he whispered into the curve of her neck. "I want you so very much." Candace closed her eyes, silently begging him for the ultimate joining of their bodies. *** They could have had it all ... if only he hadn't betrayed her, she thought. And the part that hurt the most was -- he’d planned his betrayal from day one. And oh how expertly he’d carried it out. He'd played her like a violin, Shakespearean-like language and all: “I was destined for thee, as you were for me. Maybe, just maybe, we were destined to be.” It was so real. How could it all have been such a lie? *** Candace found solace in her work, especially after losing her beloved boyfriend Tom to cancer three years ago. She’d slowly dipped her toes back into the dating pool, but hadn’t come close to clicking with anyone until she met the magnetic Halston Wellington, II. Worldly, intelligent, successful and intimidatingly handsome – he was everything a woman could want in a man. It didn’t make sense that he was single … until she discovers the real reason for his interest in her. He was right, they were destined to be, but was it for love, or was he using her for something much more nefarious? ### Relevant Search Terms: interracial romance, bwwm romance, multicultural romance, african american romance, steamy romance, short story romance, womens fiction, black love
