  A Month Ago, I Was an Average Guy on Earth. Now, the Fate of the Galaxy Rests in My Hands. 
   
   
   
  Life had dealt me a tough hand as an unemployed and disabled individual on Earth, but an unexpected twist of fate hurled me to Sidus. Picture this: a bustling nexus in space where advanced extraterrestrial races converge, having survived the grueling tests of ancient forebearers. Amidst them all, I stood out. The Sentience of Sidus identified me as a unique entity—the first of my kind and the chosen protector. My roles shifted dramatically—from the mighty dragon at the helm of the Triad and an esteemed agent to being romantically involved with Earth's president's sister. 
   
   
   
  But life has its highs and lows. Cast back into societal shadows, I now helm a motley crew of misfits. Our mission? Not just to champion justice but to wage a race against time, ensuring the survival of our species—and possibly the entire galaxy.

  He wasn’t looking for a cause, just a way to make it through one more day in a town abandoned by time. The world around him is falling in slow motion—burnt fields, broken laws, and people trading souls for safety. He’s not a hero. He just keeps breathing. 
  Then, at a crooked auction block, two lives are forced into his hands. One guards a hidden past. The other dares to challenge everything, even him. What begins as reluctant responsibility turns into something far more dangerous: connection. 
  As old powers rot and new ones rise from the dirt, the lines between right and easy blur. With violence creeping in and silence no longer an option, he’s left with a choice he never wanted to face. 
  Not everyone survives the end of the world. Even fewer deserve to.

  “Entertaining. . . . Briscoe folds some perceptive class critiques into her intoxicating blend of romance and suspense. This offers plenty of gothic pleasures.”—Publishers Weekly 
  New York Times bestselling author Connie Briscoe updates Daphne Du Maurier’s classic Rebecca in this chilling tale of domestic suspense centered on a spirited woman named Angel who marries a Black billionaire, only to discover that he remains haunted by his first wife who took her own life—or did she? 
  A mansion haunted by the ghost of a cool, charismatic first wife. A second bride from a small Southern town who may be in over her head. A brooding billionaire who grows icier the more his new wife questions him about the past. 
  In Connie Briscoe’s propulsive and entertaining novel, the elements of one of the most famous Gothic novels of all time is reimagined in surprising, yet still suspenseful, ways. 
  Angel is a private chef for the Harrisons, one of the most powerful Black families on Martha’s Vineyard. Impossibly supercilious Jillian Harrison often spends the entire summer on the island, and every August the family throws a lavish garden party. This year’s guest list includes Everett Bruce, an influential Black billionaire still in mourning for Chloe, his first wife, who com­mitted suicide.  
  To Jillian’s surprise, Bruce becomes enchanted with Angel. Soon he and Angel begin a whirlwind romance that culminates in marriage, and Angel moves to Riverwild, her husband’s massive estate along the Poto­mac River.  
  Though Angel is a confident and strong woman, over time she begins to feel the enigmatic Chloe’s ghost. Not helping matters is Ida, Everett’s menacing sister who, like her brother, cannot seem to let the dead woman go, nor explain why Chloe would kill herself. The more questions Angel asks, the more vitriolic Ida grows and the more melancholic Everett becomes, reveal­ing a far less charming side of himself. Just how well does Angel know Everett?  
  The answers lie somewhere in Riverwild . . .

  Just David

  Eleanor H. Porter

  Eleanor Porter wrote this wonderful novel two years after the runaway success of her book Pollyanna. Though also a bestseller at the time, Just David has rarely been reprinted since its release in 1916. We felt a story this good shouldn't be so hard to find, so we decided to put it back in print last year. Now it's in a longer-lasting hardcover.    It is the story of David, a charming little boy of 10 who is suddenly transplanted from a world of music (he plays the violin) in the mountains with his father, to the provincialism of a workaday small town. But even more, it is the story of how David transplants his own character, courage and happiness into the lives of the people he meets, and wins their love and respect. Here's what we say in the preface to the new edition:    Just David is a quiet, unassuming children's novel about an orphaned young boy with a mysterious past. David, not the typical boy found in most stories of his day, is a mixture of simplicity and complexity whose disarming innocence has a profound effect on the people he encounters. Unlike the "good bad boy" often encountered in children's literature, David is a "good good" boy. He is not in any way "goody-goody" in the moralistic sense, but simply and purely good. David's goodness is not a mysterious quality that defies logic and imagination, but rather a quality cultivated in him by the intentional efforts of a wise and loving father. During David's formative years, his father secluded him from the influences of the outside world, creating a private world in the mountains filled with simple pleasures, purposeful study, and beautiful music. David's touching story is well within the scope of the imagination, and David's endearing innocence, engaging personality, and natural character are unforgettable.    Just David struck a resonant chord in our family for several reasons. First, David's life affirms the biblical principle expressed in the proverb, "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm". David walked with his father and became wise. Also, his story reminds us of the importance of creating the right "appetite" early in our children's lives. David's love of music, nature and beauty were intentionally cultivated in him by his father. Finally, there is a refreshing balance in David's life and character that provides a literary model to emulate, especially for the more artistically-inclined boy often overlooked in literature. David is artistic, yet he knows when to be realistic. He is slight of stature, yet able to handily defend himself when necessary. He is trained and mannerly, yet he is also manly. He is sensitive, yet sensible. Whatever limitations he discovers, he meets them with strength of character.    This is truly one of those books that everyone in your family will like, and will likely want to hear or read more than once. We're on our fourth reading! It has even inspired us to have Just David days for our children when we focus on the beautiful and lovely things God has given us to enjoy. Just David is just great. Includes family discussion questions at the end of the book.
