The Quitters Club
“Jessica Strawser delivers a thought-provoking, life-affirming novel about the things we keep, what we leave behind, and the courage it takes to, well, quit. The Quitters Club is an ode to female friendship and the liberating truth that defining life on your own terms isn’t failure, it’s freedom. A five-star must read by an unforgettable voice.” —Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of Summer State of Mind From the USA Today bestselling author of The Last Caretaker comes a hopeful and empowering novel about the messy beauty of female friendship and the deep courage it takes to rebuild a life at any age. When four ride-or-die friends reunite for a getaway, they’re desperate for a break, a chance to reconnect. But each is hiding a deeper reason why. Marie feels like an impostor teaching “How to Say No” seminars while her marriage has evolved into something she never said yes to. Brooke’s most heartfelt goal—motherhood—is proving out of reach. Lucy’s dream career has broken her spirit, possibly for good. And Collins feels trapped in grief by her late husband’s legacy. All their lives, they’ve encouraged each other not to give up—but they can’t do this anymore. Now, at a breaking point, they make a pact: Quit. And help each other through the fallout. At first, it’s positively liberating. A husband gets a much-needed wake-up call. A singles retreat is a widow’s perfect escape. A very public career exit becomes a never-too-late return to college. And a childless life becomes a bold new plan to travel the world. But letting go will be more complicated than they imagined. Confronting hard truths about love, loss, and starting over, these four women must discover what’s worth fighting for—and what’s truly best left behind.
Murder by Design
In a world carefully constructed for murder, solving crimes takes a keen mind and eye in a witty, clever, and fresh reinvention of the whodunit by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg. Edison Bixby is wealthy, handsome, and, due to a traumatic brain injury, impulsively rude. He’s also a brilliant insurance investigator who solves baffling crimes by figuring out how the design of the man-made world around us makes them possible. Enter Wally Nash: a struggling actor hired to keep Bixby from offending everyone he meets. Their first case together looks like a simple accident. Caroline Crowley took a nasty fall down a staircase at a shopping mall in front of dozens of witnesses. Video clearly shows the deadly misstep. But Bixby is certain she was murdered by design, subtly manipulated into causing her own demise. The mall itself made the crime intentional, if not inevitable. Now Bixby must prove his outrageous theory before a very cunning killer gets others on his hit list to murder themselves, too.
Between the salt and the ash
A writer's quest to understand the deep past and uncertain future of his homeland. After inheriting the miner's safety lamp that belonged to his great-grandfather, Jake Morris-Campbell sets out on a pilgrimage across his homeland. Travelling from the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to Durham Cathedral, he asks what new ways might be made through the old north. This region, a hub of early Christian Britain and later strongly defined by industry and class, now faces an uncertain future. But it remains a unique and starkly beautiful part of the country, with a deep history that is intimately entwined with the idea of Englishness. Jake’s journey along the ‘Camino of the North’ sees him explore the shifting nature of individual and regional identity across thirteen-hundred years of social change. At the same time, it challenges him to reconsider his own calling as a writer and how it relates to the lives of the people he meets along the way. Between the salt and the ash asks what stories the North East can tell about itself in the wake of Christianity and coal. Rejecting the damaging trope of ‘left behind’ communities, Jake uncovers neglected seams of culture and history, while offering a heartfelt celebration of the place he calls hyem. -- .
Jefferson on Race
From The New York Times–bestselling and Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Hemingses of Monticello, a groundbreaking collection of Thomas Jefferson’s writings on race that every American should readAmong America’s Founding Fathers, none was more deeply, personally, or controversially entangled with race and slavery than Thomas Jefferson. The man whose Declaration of Independence proclaimed that “all men are created equal” enslaved more than 600 people of African descent even as he acknowledged the injustice of slavery, saw himself as its opponent, and condemned it in his writings. How is this possible? In Jefferson on Race, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed gathers Jefferson’s most revealing writings about African Americans, slavery, and Native Americans, enabling readers as never before to directly explore his complex and contradictory thoughts, feelings, and decisions on these subjects—the most hotly debated aspect of his legacy. These selections come from Jefferson’s public and private writings, letters, and plantation records, as well as accounts by contemporaries, including his son Madison Hemings and three other people formerly enslaved at Monticello. The book documents Jefferson’s ideas about—and self-image in relation to—African Americans, slavery, and Native Americans, as well as his conduct, including interactions with individual Black and Native people. The writings show how Jefferson responded to living in a multiracial slave society while professing progressive ideals, and how his views on race and slavery were shaped by his experiences with enslaved Black people. Jefferson on Race is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Jefferson’s conflicted attitudes—and the impact of race and slavery on American history.

Walk With Me
Walk With Me: Lessons in Transcendent Leadership is a powerful exploration of leadership beyond position and performance—offering a visionary model rooted in spiritual intelligence, ethical courage, and communal elevation. Authored by Dr. Hakim J. Lucas, a transcendent higher education leader, this book reimagines what it means to lead in institutions facing complexity, constraint, and change—especially in the context of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), faith-based organizations, and social-impact institutions. Transcendent leadership, as defined in this work, is not hierarchical but relational. It is not driven by ego or authority, but by authenticity, resilience, and divine purpose. Through deeply reflective storytelling, institutional case studies, and African fables, Dr. Lucas offers a leadership framework that values transparency over perfection, process over position, and people over politics. More than a personal memoir or leadership manual, Walk With Me is an invitation: for presidents, provosts, pastors, and changemakers to lead with soul, serve with integrity, and walk with those they lead—not ahead or above, but beside. In a time when higher education, especially at mission-driven institutions, requires bold vision and prophetic imagination, this book is a guide for becoming the kind of leader who not only transforms—but transcends. This is not just leadership. This is a walk of purpose.

Masquerade at the Crossroads of Good and Evil
A challenge to conventional psychiatry with a powerful, case-based vision of mental health rooted in spirituality, ritual, and authentic human connectionBased on field notes from his own experience as a mental health support worker, David Stokes reveals his unique approach to working with those with mental illness that involves seeking opportunities that connect the spirit to the wider world, whether that be through magic, ritual, or religious spirituality. Written in a personal and poignant prose, Stokes’ writing highlights the grim realities of everyday life, especially for those suffering with mental illness and trapped within the confines of mental health services. Stokes argues that the mental health of those suffering comes not from a chemical imbalance in their brain, as pertained by traditional psychiatry, but rather from a lack of spiritual connection to the wider world. Stokes’ approach, and the treatments outlined in A Masquerade at the Crossroads of Good and Evil, focuses on encouraging patients to seek opportunities for genuine engagement with a wider sense of reality, whether that be through esotericism, magical ritual, spirituality, and more. While a gestalt approach is central to the arguments presented in A Masquerade at the Crossroads of Good and Evil, the book also draws from a wide range of other disciplines, such as Jungian theory, esoteric Christianity, consciousness studies, and pagan/folk tradition, ultimately proving that the emphasis of the holistic, spiritual approach in psychotherapy, should be one that finds the authentic voice of the individual suffering. Rich with evidence and experience from real-life case studies, A Masquerade at the Crossroads of Good and Evil will be an intriguing, stimulating, and thought-provoking read for anyone involved in or interested in working with mental illness.

Lila James a legjobb barátom húga.
Szigorúan tiltott terület.
De minden férfinak megvan az Achilles-sarka.
Lila a legjobb barátom kishúga, és mindig is így gondoltam rá. Egy gyerek, akire vigyázni kell.
Öt évvel fiatalabb nálam, még akkor is kislány volt, amikor elköltözött a városból, hogy egyetemre járjon. Most itthon tölti a nyári vakációt – és egyértelműen nem kislány már, gyönyörű, okos nővé érett. A szeme sötét, hosszú haja hullámokban omlik a vállára. Formás lábát mintha arra tervezték volna, hogy a derekam köré fonja.
Én mindig is az a fickó voltam, aki szeret szórakozni, aki könnyedén veszi a dolgokat.
Amikor a bátyja szívességet kér tőlem, hogy adjak Lilának munkát az éttermemben, egy pillanatnyi habozás nélkül igent mondok, hiszen nincs, amit meg ne tennék a barátom kishúgáért.
Egészen addig, amíg Lila nem kér tőlem még valamit. Azt akarja, hogy én legyek számára az első. Nekem akarja adni a szüzességét. Azt kéri, én járjak ott először, ahol férfi még nem járt…
A nagyesküt is leteszi, hogy nem fog belém zúgni – annál több esze van.
Csakhogy én nem Lila szíve miatt aggódom...
