  Café Daughter  is a one-woman drama inspired by a true story about a Chinese-Cree girl growing up in Saskatchewan in the 1950s and 60s. 
  Charlie Wong emigrated from China to rural Saskatchewan, where he opened a restaurant. But provincial law prevented Charlie from hiring white women to work for him. Katherine, a young Cree woman from a nearby reserve, took a job at the café. In time, the two fell in love, married, and had a daughter—Yvette. 
  The story begins in 1957, as nine-year-old Yvette Wong helps out in her parents’ café in Alistair, Saskatchewan. She’s incredibly bright but has been placed in the slow learners’ class because of her skin colour. Her mother Katherine, who was forced to attend a residential school, is conflicted about her identity and has charged Yvette with a secret—to never tell anyone she’s part Cree. Yvette has dreams that her mother nourishes, but when Katherine dies and Yvette and her father move to Saskatoon, Yvette must try to pursue her dreams alone, carving a path uniquely her own.

  A soaring collection of poems that deftly explores the familial, personal, and societal relationships of a young Black woman trying to make her way in a fraught world. 
    
  Freedom reverberates in Skye Jackson’s breathtaking debut, Libre, with evocative poems that are heart-wrenching, haunting, sensual, and tender. This collection explores the experiences of a young Black woman in New Orleans as she navigates the pull of familial and romantic relationships, celebrating the joys of Blackness, art, and friendship. Libre also includes Jackson’s award-winning poem “can we touch your hair?” which was hand selected by former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins for inclusion in the Library of Congress Poetry 180 Project. 
    
  An acolyte of Sade and Stevie Nicks, Jackson muses on microaggressions, interracial relationships, and the endless intricacies of Black women’s hair as she rails against loss, random violence, and the dark expectations that society often places upon people of color. She roams each room of the heart, open and unafraid of what she might find behind every door. Through it all, this debut shines as the poetry refracts and reflects like a mirror leaving nothing unseen.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  He’s seen it all. Until now. 
  Detective Darrius Blue has walked the shadowy streets of New York City for over a decade, chasing justice through blood-stained alleyways and broken dreams. But when a high-profile murder rattles the city’s elite and clues lead to a powerful web of corruption, Darrius finds himself caught in a case that threatens everything he stands for—and everyone he loves. 
  With his sharp instincts, relentless grit, and a past that never quite lets go, Darrius digs deep into a mystery that grows darker at every turn. Each answer raises more questions. Each ally could be an enemy. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous the game becomes. 
  As the line between justice and vengeance blurs, Darrius must decide how far he's willing to go. Because in a city where secrets kill, some truths are better left buried.
