Book excerpt: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Their Southern Redemption Meet John McFerren, a local legend and civil rights activist in Fayette County, Tennessee, who overheard a shocking plot before Martin Luther King Jr.’s killing that’ll shock you: • McFerren, an elderly Black man, owner of a grocery store and gas pumps, befriends John Bragorgos, a white outsider with a soft heart. • Challenging Fayette County prejudiced white establishment, two colorblind men form a bond in the rural town of Somerville with deep-rooted, dark secrets. • McFerren is a savvy veteran of politics in Fayette County and coaches Bragorgos on how to survive in a tangled web of corruption, injustice, poverty, racism, and segregation. • Bragorgos helps the feisty local legend discover that his honest testimony of the King killing was downplayed and manipulated—inspiring two extraordinary men to unite and fight for justice. • The seasoned old-timer teaches Bragorgos how to play the game in the jungle of redneck hell—with roots from the Civil War. • A multilayered story with flashbacks of McFerren’s bittersweet and chilling past during the forties, fifties and sixties into the 21st century. Written from the perspective of someone who discovered a real southern gent with empathy and true grit in a bigoted county, John Bragorgos tells a story inspired by true events linked to the Civil Rights Movement. This fascinating book which praises Sweet Tea “the table wine of the South” (including recollections of America’s favorite country songs) shows the power of discrimination and humanity. A witty and warmhearted read for anyone who is suspicious about Dr. King’s killer acting alone —like the late Mr. McFerren, an unsung hero.

Download or read book City of the Uncommon Thief written by Lynne Bertrand and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dark and intricate fantasy, City of the Uncommon Thief is the story of a quarantined city gripped by fear and of the war that can free it. "Guilders work. Foundlings scrub the bogs. Needles bind. Swords tear. And men leave. There is nothing uncommon in this city. I hope Errol Thebes is dead. We both know he is safer that way." In a walled city of a mile-high iron guild towers, many things are common knowledge: No book in any of the city's libraries reveals its place on a calendar or a map. No living beasts can be found within the city's walls. And no good comes to the guilder or foundling who trespasses too far from their labors. Even on the tower rooftops, where Errol Thebes and the rest of the city's teenagers pass a few short years under an open sky, no one truly believes anything uncommon is possible within the city walls. But one guildmaster has broken tradition to protect her child, and now the whole city faces an uncommon threat: a pair of black iron spikes that has the power of both sword and needle on the rib cages of men has gone missing, but the mayhem they cause rises everywhere. If the spikes are not found, no wall will be high enough to protect the city—or the world beyond it. And Errol Thebes? He's not dead and he's certainly not safe.

Seventeen-year-old Mandy, daughter of Starfire, is not like her mother. Starfire is gorgeous, tall, sparkly, and a hero. Mandy is not a sparkly superhero. Mandy has no powers. She’s a kid who dyes her hair black and hates everyone but her best friend, Lincoln. To Starfire, who is from another planet, Mandy seems like an alien, like some distant, angry, light-years away moon. And ever since she walked out on her SATs, which her mom doesn’t know about, Mandy has been even more distant. Everyone thinks Mandy needs to go to college and become whoever you become at college, but Mandy has other plans. Or she did until she gets partnered with Claire, the person she intensely denies liking but definitely likes a lot, for a school project. When someone from Starfire’s past arrives, Mandy must make a choice: give up before the battle has even begun, or step into the unknown and risk everything to save her mom. I Am Not Starfire is a story about teenagers and/as aliens; about knowing where you come from and where you are going; and about mothers.
