MONTANA'S LITTLEST MATCHMAKER RUST CREEK RAMBLINGS Have you met eight-year-old Lily? The fast-talking street-smart New Yorker has charmed everyone here in Rust Creek Falls. She has even managed to win over Caleb Dalton, our curmudgeonly cowboy who usually avoids all things family related. Or could it be that Caleb's real interest lies in Lily's adoptive mom, Mallory Franklin? It's hard to believe our eternal bachelor would consider getting involved with someone who has a child. It's even harder to fathom that spunky Mallory would date a man whose only documented commitment is to playing the field. But Lily insists the two are the perfect couple, and who are we to argue? Stay tuned, dear readers, and see if Lily can lead them down the bridal path!

International phenomenon Angie Thomas revisits Garden Heights seventeen years before the events of The Hate U Give in this searing and poignant exploration of Black boyhood and manhood. A Printz Honor Book! If there’s one thing seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter knows, it’s that a real man takes care of his family. As the son of a former gang legend, Mav does that the only way he knows how: dealing for the King Lords. With this money he can help his mom, who works two jobs while his dad’s in prison. Life’s not perfect, but with a fly girlfriend and a cousin who always has his back, Mav’s got everything under control. Until, that is, Maverick finds out he’s a father. Suddenly he has a baby, Seven, who depends on him for everything. But it’s not so easy to sling dope, finish school, and raise a child. So when he’s offered the chance to go straight, he takes it. In a world where he’s expected to amount to nothing, maybe Mav can prove he’s different. When King Lord blood runs through your veins, though, you can't just walk away. Loyalty, revenge, and responsibility threaten to tear Mav apart, especially after the brutal murder of a loved one. He’ll have to figure out for himself what it really means to be a man.

Providing an indispensable resource for students and general readers, this book serves as an entry point for a conversation on America's favorite pastime, focusing in on generational differences and the evolution of American identity. In an age marked by tension and division, Americans of all ages and backgrounds have turned to film to escape the pressures of everyday life. Yet, beyond escapism, popular cinema is both a mirror and microscope for our collective psyche. Examining the films that have made billions of dollars through a new lens reveals that popular culture is a vital source for understanding what it means to be an American. This book is divided into four sections, each associated with a different generation. Featuring such era-defining hits as Jaws, Back to the Future, Avatar, and The Avengers, each section presents detailed film analyses that showcase the consistency of certain American values throughout generations as well as the constant renegotiation of others. Ideal for any cinephile, The American Blockbuster demonstrates how complex and meaningful even the summer blockbuster can be.

Maverick's Baby is book 1 of The Silent Angels MC trilogy. Books 2 and 3, Maverick's Blood and Maverick's Storm are available everywhere now! I'm pregnant with Maverick's baby. There are some things that should never be done. Like sleeping with a murder suspect. And there are some things that are even worse… Like getting pregnant with his baby. "Laced up" might've been a good way to describe me. Shoes shined, shirt crisp – the pride and joy of my city's police force. And I liked my cases the way I wore my uniform: Nice and neat. But the world doesn't always work that way. It's messy. Chaotic. Wild. Just like Maverick Mace. I said I was proud – he made me beg. I said I was chaste – he made me dirty. I said I was independent – he made me his and his alone. And I loved every second of it. But if getting involved with a suspect in a mysterious, crime-world murder was bad… Then what happened next was far, far worse. It's not just myself I've put in trouble. There's also a baby I can barely protect, not to mention a dangerous man I barely know. And the killers coming to end us all. Maverick made me his… And no one takes what belongs to him.
