All of her life, Christabella Brimble has been close to her brother, Gabriel ( whom she calls Eli ) and they have practically been inseparable. Because they are two years apart in age, Eli has always been her protector. Their mother has always been distant in every conceivable way, by burying herself in her work as a lawyer, and leaving them to fend for themselves sometimes not coming home until well into the evening. Recently however, despite how close they once were, Christabella can't seem to get him to open up to her. He spends long periods where he doesn't talk to her at all, and even longer periods out of the house. All she wants is to understand why he is distancing himself, but the more she tries to pry it out of him the more he pulls away. Until one night she pushes him a little too far, and everything breaks. Will she lose her brother after all these years?

Christabella ‘Belle’ Brimble, has just started her freshman year of high school and has a lot on her plate. Between the constant nagging of her cheerleader best friend, Anna, to give a care about her reputation, and the frequent staring of her former friend, Walter, she feels like the walls are closing in on her from all corners. But what bothers her most, isn’t her best friend nagging or her former friend burning holes through her back … No. Her problems stem from her two-year-older big brother, Gabriel Elijah ‘Eli’ Brimble, seeking to avoid her for the better part of the past year. Eli has put-up these constant barriers between them, dictating what she can and can’t say and do around him, practically to the point of being ridiculous and she’s tried everything to have a sensible conversation with him about it, but every time she tries, he willfully shuts her out. After an explosive fight on the beach over her napping in his bed which ends in a lock being installed on his bedroom door, she decides she’s had enough of these childish games and makes it her mission to figure out what is going on with him so they can save the close-knit friendship they once regarded as children, before it’s, too, late. Trigger Warning: This work contains dark, heavy themes much like it's predecessors and some readers may find some of the content disturbing or otherwise uncomfortable. If you are easily triggered you may want to avoid this fictional work. Your mental health is very important, so please take care of yourself. (AKA: Don't be Belle and Eli.)

To impress the popular girls on a high school trip to London, klutzy Callie buys real Prada heels. But trying them on, she trips?conks her head?and wakes up in the year 1815! There Callie meets Emily, who takes her in, mistaking her for a long-lost friend. As she spends time with Emily?s family, Callie warms to them?particularly to Emily?s cousin Alex, a hottie and a duke, if a tad arrogant. But can Callie save Emily from a dire engagement, and win Alex?s heart, before her time in the past is up? More Cabot than Ibbotson, Prada and Prejudice is a high-concept romantic comedy about finding friendship and love in the past in order to have happiness in the present.

A postmodern masterpiece about fraud and forgery by one of the most distinctive, accomplished novelists of the last century. The Recognitions is a sweeping depiction of a world in which everything that anyone recognizes as beautiful or true or good emerges as anything but: our world. The book is a masquerade, moving from New England to New York to Madrid, from the art world to the underworld, but it centers on the story of Wyatt Gwyon, the son of a New England minister, who forsakes religion to devote himself to painting, only to despair of his inspiration. In expiation, he will paint nothing but flawless copies of his revered old masters—copies, however, that find their way into the hands of a sinister financial wizard by the name of Recktall Brown, who of course sells them as the real thing. Dismissed uncomprehendingly by reviewers on publication in 1955 and ignored by the literary world for decades after, The Recognitions is now established as one of the great American novels, immensely ambitious and entirely unique, a book of wild, Boschian inspiration and outrageous comedy that is also profoundly serious and sad.

Part of the regionalist movement that included Grant Wood, Paul Engle, Hamlin Garland, and Jay G. Sigmund, James Hearst helped create what Iowa novelist Ruth Suckow called a poetry of place. A lifelong Iowa farner, Hearst began writing poetry at age nineteen and eventually wrote thirteen books of poems, a novel, short stories, cantatas, and essays, which gained him a devoted following Many of his poems were published in the regionalist periodicals of the time, including the Midland, and by the great regional presses, including Carroll Coleman's Prairie Press. Drawing on his experiences as a farmer, Hearst wrote with a distinct voice of rural life and its joys and conflicts, of his own battles with physical and emotional pain (he was partially paralyzed in a farm accident), and of his own place in the world. His clear eye offered a vision of the midwestern agrarian life that was sympathetic but not sentimental - a people and an art rooted in place.
