What We Call Love speaks to minority, inner-city youth who grapple with navigating relationships while discovering their passions and dreams. This multiple point-of-view book focuses on five teenagers of color from the city of Chicago; following the individual journeys of each as they traverse relationships with their families, with each other, and with themselves. The author's original poetry and song titles exemplify the experiences in each chapter. These are magical stories of love, acceptance, friendship, and the realities that come with being a minority youth. Simply put, What We Call Love is a story that stresses that everyone, no matter who they are, just wants love. Readers will connect with Mariposa, Serenity, Jayden, Elijah, and Raymond as they discover how to accept themselves. If you want to feel the butterflies of young adult love, this one is for you. Jaime Martin Ko Atilano, author of Mala & the Mask of Gold, and a first-gen immigrant, calls it "compelling and a magnificent coming-of-age story...so desperately needed in our community. A beautiful story and a must-read."

Do you struggle with the notion of loving people the way God has called you to? It is well known that God asks His children to love one another, yet living a life of love proves to be difficult in a society imbued with selfishness. Theology on the topic of love is not lacking; even non-Christians will freely speak about love. Almost everyone in today's society speaks of love with great conviction, but their behavior speaks of selfishness. Why is it so hard to live in a loving way when we talk so freely about it? Why is it that we can say we love our neighbors, and yet our neighbors don't actually feel loved by us? Jillian recognizes that there is a genuine need to have real-world advice on implementing God's call to love. The Call to Love lays out practical steps that can help you make vital changes in your life-changes that can help you shift your perspective and arrive at a place where you have more love to share. You may find yourself seeing others in a different light and feeling more able to love your neighbor with a true, godly love-and not just on Sunday morning! You already know the theology. The Call to Love shows you how to live it! Take the plunge and go from talking about love to living a life of love. You can be the change that society is longing for. Get ready to change your life and your world.

“The best feel-good romcom you need right now.” Goodreads reviewer A mistaken arrest, an unpaid debt, and a trip to Vegas. Living in a small town where everyone knows your business isn’t easy. But when your dad is the business everyone talks about, it’s even harder. When Willa Montgomery becomes collateral to pay off her dad’s debt to local playboy Jameson Drake, she realizes things can always get worse. Forced to work for Jameson, she soon realizes there is more to him than meets the eye. Behind the delectable wrapping and gruff demeanor is a good guy who’s ready to help whenever Willa needs him. And the way he looks at her makes her think that the rumors are wrong. Because just maybe he doesn’t hate her as much as she thought. But has the former player really changed, or is he just warming up for his big game? This is the first book in the Sweet Dreams series and can be read as a standalone. Note from the author: In order not to get kicked out of the good (okay goodish.... fine, sometimes good) girls club, I’d like to point out that this is a steamy romcom and my characters use bad language (sometimes) and like to get it on. There’s no cheating and all my books have a HEA. #romanticcomedy #HEA #romcom #enemiestolovers #hotboss #alpha #broodyalpha #contemporaryromance #romance #quirky #funny #humour #humor #freebook #free #freeromance

A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces. “The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness--not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love. As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life.” All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better.
