Summary

Taking the form of one long email addressed to an estate agent, Goodlord is a fictional memoir of habitation, a genre-defying novelistic text that beautifully evokes the people and places of our lives——the spaces of work, those that may or may not be 'home', sites of trauma and ecstasy. Showing all the control of voice one would expect from a poet of her rare skill, Ella Frears has created a book that is as funny as it is harrowing, and beautifully skewers the contemporary housing crisis while questioning the fundamental desires, drivers and disappointments that lie at the heart of our obsession with 'property'.

    Aging is hard, but watching those you love get older isn't much easier. 
     
     
     
    Everything Is a Little Broken invites listeners to both laugh and cry at some of the painful, heart-wrenching and absurd moments Mira Cayne and her father, Matt Frank, experience as age and infirmity begin to take their toll. Their story will be instantly recognizable to the 41 million Americans caring for older adults in their lives. 
     
     
     
    Matt has always been Mira's hero and her rock, but he isn't bouncing back easily from his second spinal cord surgery at the age of 79. As he grows increasingly fragile, Mira looks for ways to revive his spirit, and her own. Luckily, her father is still impossibly stubborn, and can take a good wheelchair joke. Laughing at what life is doing to his dignity seems to be the only medicine with any healing power, for both father and daughter. 
     
     
     
    Faced with nothing but time during the COVID-19 lockdown, Rebecca Sugar chose the vehicle of fiction in order to express universal truths about the challenges she was facing with her own father. Together they have laughed about everything from neuropathy to nurses to hearing aids. It helps to remember that everything is a little broken.

    And even though I promised to let her go, I realize that I can't. She's mine now, and I'm keeping her. 
    To say I had a rough start in life would be the understatement of the century. 
    My uncle may have rescued me from my abusive childhood, but he couldn't save me from the neurotic and compulsive obsessions I would develop in my adulthood. 
    I deal with some of the worst criminals in the seedy underbelly of the world just to get what I want. What I need. 
    And what I need is the perfect woman. Perfect and pure in every way possible. And I'm willing to obtain that perfection...no matter the cost. 
    So when I make my newest purchase, I expect Adeline's fate to be like all the others before her—taking what I want and then never seeing her again. 
    But she's different. 
    Her beauty is disarming. 
    And even though I promised to let her go after I took what I wanted...I slowly come to the realization that I can't. 
    I have to break my promise to her, because she's mine now. 
    And I'm keeping her. 
    Keeping Her is book one of the two-book dark romance Keep Me series and ends with a cliff-hanger. It contains adult content for mature listeners.
