THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DEVIL'S PEAK—starring Billy Bob Thornton, Robin Wright, Hopper Penn, and Jackie Earle Haley! In the country-noir tradition of Winter's Bone meets Breaking Bad, a savage and beautiful story of a young man seeking redemption—a finalist for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel. The area surrounding Cashiers, North Carolina, is home to people of all kinds, but the world that Jacob McNeely lives in is crueler than most. His father runs a methodically organized meth ring, with local authorities on the dime to turn a blind eye to his dealings. Having dropped out of high school and cut himself off from his peers, Jacob has been working for this father for years, all on the promise that his payday will come eventually. The only joy he finds comes from reuniting with Maggie, his first love, and a girl clearly bound for bigger and better things than their hardscrabble town. Jacob has always been resigned to play the cards that were dealt him, but when a fatal mistake changes everything, he’s faced with a choice: stay and appease his father, or leave the mountains with the girl he loves. In a place where blood is thicker than water and hope takes a back seat to fate, Jacob wonders if he can muster the strength to rise above the only life he’s ever known. “Remarkable...This isn’t your ordinary coming-of-age novel, but with his bone-cutting insights into these men and the region that bred them, Joy makes it an extraordinarily intimate experience.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review “Lyrical, propulsive, dark and compelling. Joy knows well the grit and gravel of his world, the soul and blemishes of the place.”—Daniel Woodrell

As he continued to stare, I wanted to point to my cheek and remind him, But you were the one who wanted this, remember? You're the one who asked-and I repeat-Why not fix your face? It's hard not to notice Terra Cooper. She's tall, blond, and has an enviable body. But with one turn of her cheek, all people notice is her unmistakably "flawed" face. Terra secretly plans to leave her stifling small town in the Northwest and escape to an East Coast college, but gets pushed off-course by her controlling father. When an unexpected collision puts Terra directly in Jacob's path, the handsome but quirky Goth boy immediately challenges her assumptions about herself and her life, and she is forced in yet another direction. With her carefully laid plans disrupted, will Terra be able to find her true path? Written in lively, artful prose, award-winning author Justina Chen Headley has woven together a powerful novel about a fractured family, falling in love, travel, and the meaning of true beauty.

Chris Low is the biggest r&b star on the planet and he thinks that the world revolves solely around him, until suddenly his world starts to unravel due to his infi delity and arrogance. First his girlfriend of eight years, Coco leaves him after she catches him cheating on her with a fan. Then he puts his singing career in serious jeopardy after demanding that he be released from the record label that gave him his start. But the owner of the label Jacob Monroe refuses to release him and sets out to destroy Chris when Chris's manager plays dirty. In the midst of him fighting for his career and his woman, his mother, Clare is forced to reveal to him a shameful secret that she's been keeping for 40 years. A secret that will change his life! Readers will witness love, lust, betrayal and revenge unfold between the pages of this riveting, dramatic and sometimes humorous and touching novel. The real life issues that this book touches will surely make Muhammad's message- Life is bigger than any one person's ego- real for all who read it. "My book is not mushy and far-fetched," Muhammad says. "It is very entertaining, but it is real. It doesn't try to make the characters lovable all the time. It makes them human instead."

A product of old money and a brilliant heart surgeon, Henry McLaughlan is condescending and pretentious, with a strong need for approval and a reputation for womanizing. Dark secrets from his youth contribute to his atheism, and Henry's medical skill alone has become his saving grace and the heart of his identity. Henry falls in love with Theresa Tabor, a widow and mother of two young children. "You're white water rafting and I'm a deep water port," Theresa jokes as they begin to work out their differences. Through her example and uncompromising confrontations, Henry gradually transcends past misery to yield his intrinsic decency and recover his faith in God. Unapologetic about her blue-collar, Catholic roots, Theresa marries Henry, then struggles with childbearing, a devastating accident, and his powerful family influences. A COUNTRY PLACE is a contemporary redemption story, and a tribute to the enduring bonds of love and family.

THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Transformative ... If Tobia aspires to the ranks of comic memoirists like David Sedaris and Mindy Kaling, Sissy succeeds." --The New York Times Book Review A heart-wrenching, eye-opening, and giggle-inducing memoir about what it's like to grow up not sure if you're (a) a boy, (b) a girl, (c) something in between, or (d) all of the above. "A beautiful book . . . honest and funny."--Trevor Noah, The Daily Show "Sensational."--Tyler Oakley "Jacob Tobia is a force." --Good Morning America "A trans Nora Ephron . . . both honest and didactic." --OUT Magazine "A rallying cry for anyone who's ever felt like they don't belong." --Woman's Day As a young child in North Carolina, Jacob Tobia wasn't the wrong gender, they just had too much of the stuff. Barbies? Yes. Playing with bugs? Absolutely. Getting muddy? Please. Princess dresses? You betcha. Jacob wanted it all, but because they were "a boy," they were told they could only have the masculine half. Acting feminine labelled them "a sissy" and brought social isolation. It took Jacob years to discover that being "a sissy" isn't something to be ashamed of. It's a source of pride. Following Jacob through bullying and beauty contests, from Duke University to the United Nations to the podiums of the Methodist church--not to mention the parlors of the White House--this unforgettable memoir contains multitudes. A deeply personal story of trauma and healing, a powerful reflection on gender and self-acceptance, and a hilarious guidebook for wearing tacky clip-on earrings in today's world, Sissy guarantees you'll never think about gender--both other people's and your own--the same way again.
