Paperback. Condición: Good. The Stunning Story of Our NeighborsWelcome to the meanest streets in America.Where Wesley Hawkins grew up, abandoned buildings were called abandominiums. More families lived in these burned-out houses without utilities than could afford rent or running water. Neighbors shared electricity by running extension cords out of their windows, and and anyone had anything, shared.But it wasn't all tales of heartwarming community. In such extreme poverty, drugs were the only way out. Whether you were using them - like Hawkins' mother, whose heartbreaking story inspired his mentorship work - or selling them, like Hawkins was by the age of eleven in order to help feed his brothers and sisters.Some of you readers know exactly the America that Wesley Hawkins grew up in. You know it because you live there too. The most surprising part of this story, for you, might be the triumph through which Hawkins got out of the drug game and dedicated his life to helping other kids succeed and move up in the world while avoiding the drugs that destroyed his family, and killed his mother and her husband. Hawkins hopes his story will show you new worlds that are possible for you.Other readers may be more shocked by the true stories of tragedy contained in these pages - the sexual abuse suffered by Hawkins' grandmother and his mother, the abuse of children in underground fighting rings, and the deaths and his mother and her husband from drug-related causes. Hawkins hopes this book might change the way you see your neighbors, and those laws which show little regard for their well-being.Hawkins' non-profit, The Nolita Project, seeks to show youth raised in poverty that a better future really is possible for them. The Nolita Project provides mentorship, supportive relationships, tutoring, classes, and other services to kids from neighborhoods like the ones Hawkins himself grew up in. Read this book, and visit DearNolita.org, to find out how you can help.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. 2020 Best Book Awards Finalist - Young Adult2019 Maxy Awards Best Young AdultWith sophisticated prose, this gritty coming-of-age story blends the familiar and the unthinkable as the lead learns to use her voice. -Kirkus Reviews (Best Indie Books of 2019)Kit Kat was born in Athens, Greece. Her mother was a prostitute, and their protector was a pimp. After an early childhood marked by violence, homelessness, and time in an orphanage, a Greek-American woman adopted her and moved her to New York. Kit Kat was eight years old, with a new name, a new country, and a new mother who tried to silence her memories and experiences. She sought refuge in books, and after a failed suicide attempt at the age of thirteen, she discovered Charlotte Bront 's Jane Eyre. This book saved her life, and at fifteen, Kit Kat begins to write letters to Jane Eyre as a means of surviving a childhood she still remembers, the family she left behind, and the new mother that refuses to acknowledge her past.Kit Kat's letters to Jane Eyre demonstrate the resilience and power that she derives from Jane's own dark narrative and the parallels between their lives that include being neglected, unloved, poor, orphaned, and almost destroyed by the madwoman in their lives. This coming of age and semi-autobiographical novel is about family, loss, forgiveness, and the power of a good book.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Americans want to know: What would Jesus do? What would Paul say today?For almost two thousand years, Christians have asked two essential questions: "What would Jesus do?? and "What would Paul say?? Paul wrote more of the New Testament than anyone else did, and he dealt with the basic problems of his day: What should Christians do about marriage? What should the relationship be between Jews and Christians? What is the Christian responsibility to the state? What about ethnic differences? What about male and female relationships? But Paul did not answer the specific questions many Americans are now asking about marriage, interfaith relationships, illegal immigrants, and the authority of government.Now, one respected Christian writer has put suggested answers in the form of new letters from Paul to Americans. Following the pattern of Paul?s letters to Rome, Corinth, and Galatia, a priest of the Episcopal Church has written letters in Paul?s name to Washington, California, Texas, and other American cities and states. Whether encouraging, insightful, useful, or controversial, these letters are a serious attempt to make Paul directly relevant to our time and issues. This book is a call for American Christians to think more carefully about the relationship between faith and society, and to seek purposeful, biblical living.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. For author Virginia Kiernan, February 2003 is a month, though more than ten years past, that remains vivid in her memory. It was the month her husband, Verner Kiernan, a father of six, was deployed with the 101st Airborne Division in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, only one month before the war with Iraq began. In Dear God, Please Keep Daddy Safe, Virginia narrates the trials and triumphs of a year of deployment. She discusses the struggles army families face as she provides insight into the unknown world of army life in one of the nation's top units-including a deadly grenade attack on her husband's unit, the emotion of attending heart-wrenching memorial services, and the family crisis that becomes compounded with separation. A compelling true story written by a mom raising six children while her husband was deployed during the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Dear God, Please Keep Daddy Safe chronicles the highs and lows of events both overseas and on the home front, showing that the often overlooked issues at home can sometimes be as stressful as serving in uniform.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. 'An absolute page-turner' Mail on SundayDear Mr. M,I'd like to start by telling you that I'm doing better now. I do so because you probably have no idea that I was ever doing worse. Much worse, in fact, but I'll get to that later on.Mr. M is being watched. As a famous writer, he is no stranger to the limelight, although interest in his work has been dwindling of late. His print runs are smaller than they used to be, as are the crowds at his bookshop signings . . . Our narrator clearly takes a keen interest in M.'s work, and indeed in every aspect of his life. But what exactly are his intentions? And to what does Mr. M owe the honour of his undivided attention?Our narrator seems to be no stranger to murder, while his own story appears to bear more than a passing resemblance to the plot of Mr. M's most famous novel: a teacher has an affair with a student, only to be brutally murdered by the girl and her teenage boyfriend. The body is never found.That's the problem with fiction: in real life, bodies have an awkward habit of turning up. Mr. M has used some artistic licence, and our narrator is not pleased, not pleased at all. And just before he fades into obscurity, he's prepared to give Mr. M one last review. And it's unlikely to be a rave.Dear Mr. M is an unsettling and irresistibly readable literary thriller, set in the world of writing and bookselling, by Herman Koch, the author of the international bestseller, The Dinner.…
