Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An autistic boy struggles to cope with the loss of his mother in this “very moving” debut novel (Dave Eggers). Following the sudden death of Sebby’s mother, his father takes him to live in the family’s summer house, hoping it will give them both time and space to recover. But Sebby’s father deteriorates in this new isolation, leaving Sebby struggling to understand his mother’s death alone. Ultimately, he will reach out to a favorite teacher back home and to two nearby children, who force him out of the void of the past and help him to exist in the present.

As a child, Madden lived a life of extravagance, from her exclusive private school to her equestrian trophies and designer shoe-brand name. But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls is equal parts eulogy and love letter. It's a story about trauma and forgiveness, about families of blood and affinity, both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful.

She has borne the unthinkable and not gone mad, yet she is still held captive by memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. Meanwhile Sethe’s house has long been troubled by the angry, destructive ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Sethe works at beating back the past, but it makes itself heard and felt incessantly in her memory and in the lives of those around her. When a mysterious teenage girl arrives, calling herself Beloved, Sethe’s terrible secret explodes into the present.

Book excerpt: Sarah Levine, the lone survivor of an ancient alien race, is dying. She has died thousands of times before, but knowing that does not make it any easier. In her eyes, being a human is a true wonder, but time is running out. Sarah chooses three infants-modern-day descendents of the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten-to lead the world into an enlightened age. Unfortunately, Sarah may not be able to protect the chosen ones from those who want to destroy them. Sarah is determined to pass the memories of her race on to her children and will do anything to ensure her dream comes true. The survival of the human race is at great risk as the three chosen ones, led by brilliant doctor Kiara Leary, battle overwhelming forces-both those who want Sarah's knowledge to further their own goal of world domination and those who will do anything to see that same knowledge destroyed forever. In the first of a three-book series bringing together pharaonic Egypt, beatniks, and extraterrestrials, Sarah must implement a desperate plan in order to protect and guide Kiara and, in the end, may be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice to preserve her legacy.
