  Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in Lesbian Memoir/Biography In this searing and uplifting memoir, a young Black queer woman fresh out of college adopts her baby brother after their incarcerated mother dies, determined to create the kind of family she never had. Growing up, Nikkya Hargrove’s mother was in and out of prison. Hargrove, one of the 5 million children dealing with the effects of an incarcerated parent, spent a good portion of her childhood in prison visiting rooms. After her baby brother was born, Hargrove decided to fight for custody–even though she had only just graduated college. We see how she is subjected to preconceived notions that she, a Black, queer, young woman, cannot handle the responsibility. She shares about the shame she feels accepting food stamps, her family’s reaction to her coming out, and the joy she experiences when she meets the woman who will become her wife. Whether she’s clashing with her brother's biological father or battling for Jonathan’s education rights after he’s diagnosed with ADHD and autism, this is a woman who won’t give up.     Hargrove’s memoir picks up where Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy left off, exploring generational trauma and pulling back the curtain on family court and poverty in America. Moving and inspiring, Mama is an ode to motherhood and identity, to never giving up, and to finding strength in family and community.

Luminous, honest, and immersive, Tribulations is for readers drawn to true stories of healing, consciousness, and the unsettling beauty of change.

  Aleister Crowley

  Aleister Crowley remains one of the most controversial and misunderstood figures of the twentieth century. Poet, mountaineer, occultist, writer, and religious philosopher, he became famous for challenging social conventions and exploring the boundaries of mysticism, spirituality, and personal freedom. Admired by some as a visionary and condemned by others as a dangerous radical, Crowley continues to provoke fascination decades after his death. 
   
  Born in England in 1875, Crowley rejected the strict religious environment of his childhood and embarked upon a lifelong search for spiritual knowledge. His travels took him across Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East, where he studied religious traditions, ceremonial magic, yoga, and esoteric philosophy. These experiences eventually led to the development of Thelema, the spiritual system most closely associated with his name. Through works such as The Book of the Law, Crowley sought to establish a new spiritual philosophy centered on individual will, self-discovery, and personal transformation. His writings, teachings, and public persona made him one of the most notorious figures of his age, attracting both devoted followers and fierce critics. 
   
  This biography traces Crowley's remarkable journey from privileged Victorian upbringing to international notoriety. Drawing upon letters, diaries, memoirs, and historical records, it explores his life, ideas, adventures, controversies, and enduring influence. More than seventy years after his death, Aleister Crowley remains one of the most debated and enigmatic figures in modern religious and cultural history.
