"Sam and Asha. Asha and Sam. Their friendship is so long established, they take it for granted. Just as Asha takes for granted that Donnybrooke, the mansion that sits on the highest hill in Coreville, is the best house in town. But when Sam is accepted into snobbish Castleton Academy as an autistic 'Miracle Boy,' he leaves Asha, who is also autistic, to navigate middle school alone. He also leaves her wondering if she can take anything for granted anymore. Because soon Sam is spending time with Prestyn, Asha's nemesis, whose family owns Donnybrooke and, since a housewarming party gone wrong, has forbidden Asha to set foot inside. Who is Asha without Sam? And who will she be when it becomes clear that Prestyn's interest in her friend isn't so friendly?"--Provided by publishe

M. Carr-Saunders, H. Mannheim, and E. C. Rhodes, on the one hand, and to the Cambridge Evacuation Survey, published in 1941 under the editorship of Susan Isaacs with the co-operation of Sibyl Clement Brown and Robert H.

Musaicum Books presents to you this meticulously collection of hundreds of life stories, recorded interviews and incredible vivid testimonies of former slaves from the American southern states, including photos of the people being interviewed and their extraordinary narratives. After the end of Civil War in 1865, more than four million slaves were set free. There were several efforts to record the remembrances of the former slaves. The Federal Writers' Project was one such project by the United States federal government to support writers during the Great Depression by asking them to interview and record the myriad stories and experiences of slavery of former slaves. The resulting collection preserved hundreds of life stories from 17 U.S. states that would otherwise have been lost in din of modernity and America's eagerness to deliberately forget the blot on its recent past.

Violet wakes in an abandoned laboratory with little to no memory of who she is or how she got there. Slowly her memories return to her as she finds her way home. As she searches for answers about her past Violet is hunted by creatures that are near impossible to kill...for normal people anyway. Violet isn't normal though, not anymore. Book Review 1: "The characters were extremely vivid and well-imagined. I was intrigued by the world and wanted to know more." - Kelly Boworth Book Review 2: “Fallen Colonies is a creative and inventive look into a living, breathing dystopian world, lush with vivid environments and dynamic, progressive characters. Slight discrepancies in pace are overshadowed by sheer creativity, with gripping plot points to keep readers guessing throughout the ride. In short, Fallen Colonies offers readers a look into a brand new, elaborate mythos just waiting to be unraveled.“ - Mr. English Book Review 3: "I couldn’t put it down. I stayed up until 2am finishing it. Truly a fun read!" - J. Newland

This is my life story, growing up as the son of a modest family in Haiti's countryside where I attended grade and medical school, and helped alleviate my compatriots’ suffering. My public health education at the University of Miami (UM) inched me closer to my career goals: I became health systems administrator in Haiti and in Florida, and a faculty member of UM medical school. The book describes my personal tragedies and professional struggles, and relates Haiti’s recent major sociopolitical events to the larger issues facing the country today. It ends with advice for young readers grounded on my experience.
