Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow - A Novel

Faïza Guène

Summary

A “touching, furious, sharp, and very funny” novel of an immigrant teenage girl finding her own identity in France (Booklist).   The Paradise projects are only a few metro stops from Paris, but it feels like a different world. Doria’s father, aka the Beard, has headed back to their hometown in Morocco, leaving her and her mom to cope with their mektoub, their destiny, alone. They have a little help—from a social worker sent by the city, a psychiatrist sent by the school, and a thug friend who recites Rimbaud.   It seems like fate has dealt them an impossible hand, but Doria might still make a new life—“with bravado, humor, and a healthy dose of rage” (St. Petersburg Times).   “[A] sassy, spunky tale . . . Doria has what it takes to storm any barricade.” —The Hartford Courant   “[Doria is] as likable as Holden Caulfield or Prep’s Lee Fiora. Readers will cheer. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal, starred review   “A promising addition to the world’s literary voices.” —The Miami Herald   “Moving and irreverent, sad and funny, full of rage and intelligence. Her voice is fresh, and her book a delight.” —Laila Lalami, bestselling author of The Moor’s Account

Phantastes - A Faerie Romance...

George MacDonald

First published in 1858, Phantastes stands as one of the earliest and most influential works of modern fantasy. In this dreamlike tale, George MacDonald leads his readers through the mysterious “Fairy Land,” where the boundaries between reality and imagination dissolve. Beneath its enchanted forests and shifting shadows lies a profound spiritual allegory—a journey of the soul toward self-knowledge, purity, and love.
 
Though often whimsical and strange, Phantastes speaks to the deepest human longing for transformation and transcendence. Its influence echoes through the works of later writers such as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, who both regarded MacDonald as a master of mythic storytelling.

Patient Killer

James Alan Ross

Dr. Victoria Cruz’s career reached its pinnacle. Her psychiatry practice thrives as one of Miami’s most highly regarded, and her recent publishing deal proves she’s one of the area’s most respected therapists. Victoria’s new self-help book Mental Soul Food propelled her to celebrity status, whisking her away for book signings, speaking events, and appearances. Coupled with the relationship she’s built with her boyfriend Jason, things couldn’t be better. Until she meets Blaire Bennett—a fan of Victoria’s book and a troubled new patient. 
Convinced it’s the only way to remedy Blaire’s problems, Victoria returns to her area of expertise: hypnotherapy. Previously, she’d ceased deep exploration of patients’ subconsciouses after extended hypnosis treatments of a patient went terribly wrong. Victoria’s haunted past resurfaces through Blaire’s treatment, causing her to dive into her own subconscious to the point where she can no longer be sure what’s real and what’s only happening in her mind. 
Is Victoria a danger to herself? To others? Have her methods of hypnosis caused more damage than good? Is she building irreversible fantasies in her patients that lead to dangerous sexual obsession, physical trauma, and even murder? Worse yet, has Victoria herself unknowingly transformed into a Patient Killer?
