  A ghost is not what you think it is, says Raven. A ghost is a commitment. When Laraine Herring receives an unexpected colon cancer diagnosis, her father, thirty years dead, returns to her as a raven, setting off a magical journey into complicated grief, inherited trauma, and ancestral healing. As she struggles with redefining her expectations for her life, she slips farther and farther underground into the ancestral realm, where she finds herself writing a play directed by her father-as-raven. It will be a cast of only four: you and me and my mother and my father, and we will speak until there are no more words between us, says Raven. And then you can decide the ending. Tick, tock, write. With one foot in her old life and one foot in the next, Herring grapples with how the silences around her father’s polio and the judgments of her fundamentalist grandparents shaped her, and as she wrestles with the uncertainty of her future, she must decide what to carry forward and what to leave behind. Utilizing speculative elements and an innovative structure blending lyrical prose with a script format, A Constellation of Ghosts takes the reader into the liminal spaces between one world and another, where choices unspool into lives, and the stories we’ve told ourselves fall apart under the scrutiny of multiple perspectives like flesh from bone, reminding us that grief is the unexpected ferryman who can usher all of us back together again.

  The Black Box Movement is not a redemption story. It’s a flight recorder. A raw, unfiltered record of one man’s collapse — and the invisible work of rebuilding a life after addiction, estrangement, and the quiet erasure that comes when you're cut off from your children. 
  Written and narrated by a father who nearly didn’t survive, this audiobook tells the truth most recovery books won’t: sobriety doesn’t guarantee healing, and healing doesn’t guarantee reunion. 
  This isn’t advice. This isn’t performance. It’s a record — of the work they’ll never witness, and the man who chose to become someone worth returning to, even if no one ever does.

  “One of the year’s must-reads.” –ELLE 
  “[A] provocative, heart-breaking, and frequently hilarious collection.” –GLAMOUR 
  “Essential, vital, and urgent.” –HARPER’S BAZAAR 
  In the vein of Roxane Gay’s Bad Feminist and Issa Rae’s The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, but wholly its own, a provocative, humorous, and, at times, heartbreaking collection of essays on what it means to be black, a woman, a mother, and a global citizen in today's ever-changing world. 
  Black women have never been more visible or more publicly celebrated than they are now. But for every new milestone, every magazine cover, every box office record smashed, every new face elected to public office, the reality of everyday life for black women remains a complex, conflicted, contradiction-laden experience. 
   
   An American journalist who has been living and working in London for a decade, Kenya Hunt has made a career of distilling moments, movements, and cultural moods into words. Her work takes the difficult and the indefinable and makes it accessible; it is razor sharp cultural observation threaded through evocative and relatable stories. 
  Girl Gurl Grrrl both illuminates our current cultural moment and transcends it. Hunt captures the zeitgeist while also creating a timeless celebration of womanhood, of blackness, and the possibilities they both contain. She blends the popular and the personal, the frivolous and the momentous in a collection that truly reflects what it is to be living and thriving as a black woman today.

  Jacob DeShazer - Forgive Your...

  Three thousand feet above China, it was Jake's turn to jump. He slid his pistol, knife, and ration packets into the pockets of his leather jacket and edged toward the open hatch of the B-25 bomber. He checked the tension on the harness of his parachute, made sure the handle of the ripcord was free, and then began lowering himself out of the hatch and into the darkness. One of the famous Doolittle Raiders who first attacked Japan after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Jacob DeShazer knew his one-way mission was dangerous. Indeed, it led to his capture as a prisoner of war. Beaten, malnourished, and alone in his cell, Jacob was given a Bible - and far away from home, this American soldier became a Christian. After the war, Jacob returned to Japan and served his former enemy for thirty years as a missionary. His testimony of forgiveness and reconciliation - of love over hate - inspires a powerful gospel message for our lives today.

  À la veille de la réouverture de l’instruction de l’affaire en France, les proches de la victime entendent apporter un témoignage inédit. Ils dénoncent par ailleurs la négligence dont ont fait preuve les institutions irlandaises et l’inertie de leurs homologues français. 
  Malgré les manques de l’enquête, face au déni de justice, ils essaient de reconstituer précisément les faits, dans l’espoir que la vérité éclate enfin.
