They're baaaack! Luke, Stone, AB, Johnny, Fat Hands, Mak and the rest of the crew are back for another foray into the seedy underworld of the Famiglia Fabrasia. Mak, the ex-FBI agent, blackmails Luke Fabrasia, the head of the famed Fabrasia crime family. Luke, whose unknown, until recently, half brother and FBI agent Joe Stone turned family informant, is put between a rock and a hard place by his ex-officemate Mak. The counterfeiting scheme devised by the two now-dead MIT students has run its course; and Mak needs more money, that is, real money, not counterfeit money. Luke has come up with an intricate plan to satisfy Mak, protect his newly found brother, and save his number 1 captain, AB, from prison as well as eliminate an old family foe, Gino Campanelli. The plan has many twists and turns but not how Luke and the boys designed it. If you were surprised by the ending of the first installment, then brace yourself. This story has an unpredictable ending you won't see coming.

Fantasia Barrino, star of the 2023 film The Color Purple, tells the story of her astonishing rise from hopeless high school dropout to American Idol superstar in the inspirational New York Times bestseller Life Is Not a Fairy Tale. In one moment, with one tearful performance of "Summertime," the nineteen-year-old Fantasia captured the hearts—and the votes—of millions of American Idol fans. Her powerful voice and independent style made her an overnight national sensation. But life wasn't always sensational for Fantasia. At the age of seventeen, despite the promise of her extraordinary voice, Fantasia was in danger of becoming just another sad statistic: an uneducated, unmarried teenage mother living in the projects. But Fantasia had been raised by two strong, influential women: Both her grandmother and mother are preachers, and she was raised with an unshakable faith. In Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, Fantasia speaks—with a spirit as strong as her voice—about what it takes to believe in the power of one's self. She turns all that she's learned into uplifting life lessons, including: • Recognize your gift • You made your bed, now lie in it • Give props where props are due • Like mother, like daughter • It ain't about the bling Fantasia keeps it real with her sassy, self-confident style and down-to-earth advice, making us laugh and cry with her. Life Is Not a Fairy Tale is more than just a celebrity success story. It's a book of revelations that will inspire everyone to reach for their greatest potential.
