One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels One of the New York Times' 25 Most Significant New York City Novels From the Last 100 Years "A towering landmark of postwar Realism…A sustained work of prose so lucid and fine it seems less written than carved." —David Foster Wallace Otto and Sophie Bentwood live in a changing neighborhood in Brooklyn. Their stainless-steel kitchen is newly installed, and their Mercedes is parked curbside. After Sophie is bitten on the hand while trying to feed a stray, perhaps rabies-infected cat, a series of small and ominous disasters begin to plague the Bentwoods' lives, revealing the fault lines and fractures in a marriage—and a society—wrenching itself apart. First published in 1970 to wide acclaim, Desperate Characters stands as one of the most dazzling and rigorous examples of the storyteller's craft in postwar American literature — a novel that, according to Irving Howe, ranks with "Billy Budd, The Great Gatsby, Miss Lonelyhearts, and Seize the Day."

There are many, many Christians doing things they wish so badly they didn’t do, and they don’t understand why they can’t stop doing them. This is a horrible place to be, and depending upon the person, the magnitude of this can be so overwhelming it may seem as if there is no way out, and hope appears to be slipping away. Though this may seem dramatic and dark, for so many today it’s not even possible for them to describe their anguish. Man does not have the answer; it’s not in religion, psychology, or imprisonment, counseling, therapy, drugs or any other thing—there is an Answer, but only one; it is God’s Way of Victory and no other way will make us free. The material in your hand unveils this Answer and the most Powerful Spiritual Law known to man. Are you desperate for the Truth?

SNOWAs a young boy, abandoned by my parents and ripped apart from my twin sister, I learned early on that the world was full of evil and hate. I survived by living between the light and darkness, using my shifter abilities to stay alive...until one mistake should have cost me my life. Instead, it became my salvation and gave me a family and band of brothers who had my back no matter what. The Dark Leopards MC was not a gang to be trifled with, and many gave us a wide birth, and as the Sergeant At Arms, I ensured that's the way it stayed. But someone was trying to encroach on our territory and begin a war. I suspect the woman I saved, the woman whom I discover is my mate, is tied to it all somehow. I just have to figure out the puzzle before it's too late. VERITYI was only trying to help a friend. The last thing I ever thought is that my friend would try to kidnap me, but thankfully someone or something saved me. Rushing to meet my roommate, Siam, I got another shock when the gang responsible for my brother's death are her friends. I didn't care if her brother had mesmerizing eyes or if I had a hard time not thinking about him. He was the enemy! But even as my enemy, he may be my only chance to stay alive and learn the truth. And if Snow is the one protecting me in and out of bed, I wouldn't complain too much.
