  A mesmerizing, powerful work of Afro-magic realism that reclaims the promise of a family's destiny through the bending of time 
   
  Blue’s daughter, Tsitra, is dying a violent and horrific death while, thousands of miles away, Blue feels the slowing of time and hears voices, followed by a stillness that befalls her for eighteen months. 
   
  More than a century before, Blue’s grandparents Amanda and Palmer attend a salon party in New Orleans. It’s a veritable who’s-who within pre–Civil War social circles. Conversations get heated quickly as Ismay, the hostess who hails from French royalty—and who is the daughter of one of the most ruthless  
  and wealthy slaveholders—antagonizes Palmer, a landowner and slaveholder himself whose parents had been sold into slavery and who’s there to seek revenge, and Amanda, a shape-shifter and puzzle maker who had been enslaved until this very gathering.  
   
  There, Amanda learns of a cosmic plot that will doom a line of her and Palmer’s family to poverty, so she devises her own counter-plot to undo the damage.Back in the present, Blue comes out of her stillness, broke and devoid of inspiration. In profound grief and consumed by guilt, Blue travels to The Ranch,  
  where the voices grow louder and she has visions of two women from the distant past. There, Blue feels the spark of a power and creative energy she has only glimpsed … but can it change her future? 
   
  A time-bending novel of invention grounded in the real, The Blue Is Where GodLives obliterates the space between past and present and asks whether belief, magic, and intention can forge new realities. With lush, captivating prose, intricate plotting, and unforgettable characters, The Blue Is Where God Lives is a  
  transcendent, electrifying debut of undeniable beauty and possibility that heralds the arrival of a major new voice in fiction.

A boy enrols in the army, hoping to find peace in the great adventure of war. Handed a rifle, he discovers the grim reality: grey days distinguished only by the ever-present spectre of death.

In an unexpected act of courage, he changes the course of history, bringing German and Brits to put down their weapons for a celebration of peace.  In 1933, a father and son set out for Flanders. The former soldier carries more of the war with him than his maimed left hand. The British man he met in the forest of Ypres is a memory passed down from father to son, a story of friendship across enemy lines, forged by one uniting belief: the need for peace . . .'A small gem of a novel about the folly and wickedness of war' A.

  Set in the sunburned corners of the beach volleyball world, Cut Shot is a sharp, gritty, darkly funny ride through heartbreak, loyalty, and the games men play to avoid feeling anything. A quietly devastating story about what it means to lose hard and still show up. 
  It’s not a love story. It’s what happens after. 
  With a career on autopilot and a relationship left bleeding, Tex navigates a summer of competition, backhanded jokes, late-night breakdowns, and half-earned wins. The damage keeps piling up, things slowly unravel, and the past keeps showing up no matter how hard he tries to outrun it. 
  Through the sand, booze, trash talk, and silence he stumbles into the one thing he was not looking for. Clarity ... loud, late, and the last thing he wanted. 
  Brutal, self-aware, painfully hilarious, and quietly hopeful in the way only real damage can be, Cut Shot is a story about what’s left when the games end, the girl’s gone, and you’re left standing there holding the ball.
