This memoir documents the struggles of one young boy in a land far from his home. When a Canadian family chose to house a foreign exchange student, Jae seemed like a perfect match. He was respectful, diligent, and happy to hang out with the two sons. Jae, Thomas, and Aaron quickly bonded and thought of themselves as brothers. No one could have predicted what would happen next. Although Jae had come to Canada with a positive attitude and big dreams, it was much harder than he had expected. He was an ocean away from everyone he knew and was subjected to bullying and harassment every day at school. The family didn't know that Jae was in mental crisis. They didn't see the warning signs until the unimaginable happened, and by then, it was too late. In this look back at the most difficult time of her life, Priscilla Cicek writes with purpose. She hopes that by telling the story of her family, others can learn how to spot the signs of a mental health crisis and understand how important it is to seek help for yourself-or for others. Suffering in silence can lead to tragedy.
They wake and find themselves alone in a world where dreams are tangible. Some find the world dark, some find it home, but all look into the dark uncertainty of it and find themselves lost. For them, Becoming is a beginning, and it is from this beginning that they each find themselves wandering a dark world looking for some trace of their former humanity, if it was ever there to begin with. The hero, Mahavir, finds himself conflicted between losing his own life for the human beings that he despises or simply leaving them behind. As he comes to know Joseph and his father and Lila and her brother, he struggles to move away from the fate that dreams have allotted to him and realizes that even the power of those dreams cannot take away his choice. Regardless of the strength of the nightmares that plague the world around him, he knows that it's only his decision that will determine the fate of men.
In this "raucous, moving, and necessary" story by a Pulitzer Prize finalist (San Francisco Chronicle), the De La Cruzes, a family on the Mexican-American border, celebrate two of their most beloved relatives during a joyous and bittersweet weekend. "All we do, mija, is love. Love is the answer. Nothing stops it. Not borders. Not death." In his final days, beloved and ailing patriarch Miguel Angel de La Cruz, affectionately called Big Angel, has summoned his entire clan for one last legendary birthday party. But as the party approaches, his mother, nearly one hundred, dies, transforming the weekend into a farewell doubleheader. Among the guests is Big Angel's half brother, known as Little Angel, who must reckon with the truth that although he shares a father with his siblings, he has not, as a half gringo, shared a life. Across two bittersweet days in their San Diego neighborhood, the revelers mingle among the palm trees and cacti, celebrating the lives of Big Angel and his mother, and recounting the many inspiring tales that have passed into family lore, the acts both ordinary and heroic that brought these citizens to a fraught and sublime country and allowed them to flourish in the land they have come to call home. Teeming with brilliance and humor, authentic at every turn, The House of Broken Angels is Luis Alberto Urrea at his best, and cements his reputation as a storyteller of the first rank. "Epic . . .

Only Lukas Hawthorne could simultaneously break my spirit, crush my dreams...and make me dripping wet.He's a legend on campus-a star athlete with records that'll never be broken. I always see him on campus walking around with some new hot piece of ass, and I dream about what it would be like to be the one on his arm...It's totally unfair to have such an effortlessly handsome grad student as my TA. Who knew economic theory could be so sexy? Problem is, I've been so distracted by him all semester that now I'm failing his course, and I need pass if I hope to graduate on time. He wants to meet with me after class, to discuss how I can make up my grade this summer...extra assignments, private lessons...whatever it takes. But when a disgusting realization is made-our student-teacher sex sessions are permanently interrupted.Our parents are engaged. They're madly in love and can't wait to make me, Lukas, and all of our siblings one big happy family. To make matters worse, we have to endure a family vacation at his father's lake house. Together. A million miles away from everything.Thing is, the more inappropriate my desire is for him, the more intensely it burns...and he isn't shy about meeting me halfway.According to him, we're going to defile every room and every surface of his father's house before we go back to school.Challenge accepted.
Alexandra's older brother died the night he graduated. That day changed everything for her. No longer was she the party girl. No longer did she care about being popular and no longer was her family the happy unit she always thought existed. The only person who could help her heal is the same person who loved her brother as much as she did, his best friend. She only hopes to keep her entire heart from breaking when Jesse will move on, and she knows he will. After Ethan died, Jesse excelled at basketball, partying, and girls. He used it all to turn his emotions off, but the irony was that Alex was the only person who could do that for him. She helped him forget, but she was the one person he shouldn't be with because the secrets he knows could shatter everything. They could shatter her. This is part one, so expect a cliffhanger for an ending.
The Pathway to Spiritual Power and Maturity "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die. It abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit" (John 12:24) There is more to being a Christian soldier than attending Weekly Church Programmes. Brokenness is a pre-requisite for being a true Christian Soldier. This book teaches you result-oriented ways of escaping from spiritual stagnancy and its attendant frustrations. Brokenness is a good Spiritual thermometer for every child of God because at the end of the day, the requirement is that "He must increase, But I must decrease" (John 3:30) Why? So "that you may be filled with all the fullness of God" (Eph 3:19). You are encouraged by the Spirit of God, to read and study this book so that you can be at the spiritual height God expects you to be and not remain a Lilliputan all through your life. This is a challenge worth taking.
As if her parents' heavy drinking and her father's abuse--which nearly killed her half-brother, Iggy--were not enough, fifteen-year-old Mara is caught kissing her girlfriend, Xylia, by the preacher's son and becomes terrified that her own life is at risk.
"I write hungry sentences," Natalie Diaz once explained in an interview, "because they want more and more lyricism and imagery to satisfy them." This debut collection is a fast-paced tour of Mojave life and family narrative: A sister fights for or against a brother on meth, and everyone from Antigone, Houdini, Huitzilopochtli, and Jesus is invoked and invited to hash it out. These darkly humorous poems illuminate far corners of the heart, revealing teeth, tails, and more than a few dreams. I watched a lion eat a man like a piece of fruit, peel tendons from fascia like pith from rind, then lick the sweet meat from its hard core of bones. The man had earned this feast and his own deliciousness by ringing a stick against the lion's cage, calling out Here, Kitty Kitty, Meow! With one swipe of a paw much like a catcher's mitt with fangs, the lion pulled the man into the cage, rattling his skeleton against the metal bars. The lion didn't want to do it— He didn't want to eat the man like a piece of fruit and he told the crowd this: I only wanted some goddamn sleep . . . Natalie Diaz was born and raised on the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation in Needles, California. After playing professional basketball for four years in Europe and Asia, Diaz returned to the states to complete her MFA at Old Dominion University. She lives in Surprise, Arizona, and is working to preserve the Mojave language.
