Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior: HOMES. Moheb Soliman traces the coast of the Great Lakes with postmodern poems, exploring the natural world, the experience of belonging, and the formation of identity along borders. Moheb Soliman’s HOMES maps the shoreline of the Great Lakes from the rocky North Shore of Minnesota to the Thousand Islands of eastern Ontario. This poetic travelogue offers an intimate perspective on an immigrant experience as Soliman drives his Corolla past exquisite vistas and abandoned mines, through tourist towns and midwestern suburbs, seeking to inhabit an entire region as home. Against the backdrop of environmental destruction and a history of colonial oppression, the vitality of Soliman’s language brings a bold ecopoetic lens to bear on the relationship between transience and belonging in the world’s largest, most porous borderland.

In 1998, after thirteen years of providing investment advice for Smith Barney, Bill Schultheis wrote a simple book for people who felt overwhelmed by the stock market. He had discovered that when you simplify your investment decisions, you end up getting better returns. As a bonus, you gain more time for family, friends, and other pursuits. The Coffeehouse Investor explains why we should stop thinking about top-rated stocks and mutual funds, shifts in interest rates, and predictions for the economy. Stop trying to beat the stock market average, which few “experts” ever do. Instead, just remember three simple principles: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. And save for a rainy day. By focusing more on your passions and creativity and less on the daily ups and downs, you will actually build more wealth—and improve the quality of your life at the same time.

For many, many years you may have heard that God doesn't still perform miracles. A Mother In Mourning will restore your faith if you are among the many who don't believe. Kathy will tell you, too, of the many miracles God has given to her. One of the miracles was giving birth to her sons. Another came after the fatal accident of her oldest son when an angel was waiting for her in the most unusual place, her favorite coffee house. A Mother In Mourning is sure to be a best seller of its kind. Kathy delivers a truly powerful love story involving herself, her two sons and her God. From the first day she gave birth to her sons, she held them close to her. To Aaron (and Kendrick), she was a one of a kind mother; she was their mentor, their right hand, their best friend and their preparedness for this thing called life. Most importantly, she was Aaron's (and is Kendrick's) overseer in making sure that without a doubt their ultimate destination would be "heaven." A Mother In Mourning will take you on a journey filled with nothing but love, joy and the pain of being a mother. This heart-felt true story will have you laughing out loud and at the same time bring joyful tears to your eyes. It's clear that Kathy understood from the very beginning what it took to be a good mother. You will also read how God gave her a premonition that something tragic was going to happen five months before his death. She didn't know what it was until a knock came on her door one early morning. She opened the door only to see two police officers standing there and one of them was holding her son's drivers license. Through all of their years together with his following closely in her footsteps, she never could havepredicted that Aaron would have had such a short life. Kathy and her sons were so close, it seemed to her that the sun would shine on them forever. One Wednesday evening just as the sun was going down, God called Aaron's name. Even though she has always been a natural teacher of having faith in God the devastation of losing her son has caused her faith to increase even more. You will read how God got her through the lowest stage of her life when no one else was there for her. A Mother In Mourning is not just for someone who has lost a loved one. It is a book that unmistakably teaches us to have faith in God and to realize that life is a journey. Yes, it is a journey that we all must travel and that will one day (make no mistake about it) come to an end.

Part coming-to-America story, part lyrical memoir, and yet another part activist's call to action, The Coffeehouse Resistance: Brewing Hope in Desperate Times is timely, funny, and poignant. Writing as a mother, immigrant, new American, coffeehouse owner, and international nonprofit leader, Prabasi's story weaves between Nepal, Ethiopia, and the United States. When Prabasi and her husband move from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to New York City with their young daughter in 2011, they start a thriving coffee business, grow their family, and are living their American Dream. After the 2016 election, they are suddenly unsure about their new home. Reclaiming the tradition of coffee houses throughout history, their coffeehouses become a hub for local organizing and action. Moving from despair to hope, this story is ultimately about building community, claiming home, and fighting for our dreams.

Not Here is a flight plan for escape and a map for navigating home; a queer Vietnamese American body in confrontation with whiteness, trauma, family, and nostalgia; and a big beating heart of a book. Nguyen’s poems ache with loneliness and desire and the giddy terrors of allowing yourself to hope for love, and revel in moments of connection achieved.
