Unsuspecting boy. Big-hearted girl. Small-minded town. Invincible summer. Summer, 1955. Calls for equality are sweeping America, but sixteen-year-old Ethan Harper is about to discover just how deep the roots of racism run. When mixed-race Ethan is sent to stay with his white uncle and aunt in Ellison, Alabama, he soon discovers that the only thing smaller than the town itself are the minds of its inhabitants. Except for Juniper Jones - resident artist, oddball and self-proclaimed free spirit. Ignoring the tide of prejudice and disapproval that follows Ethan, Juniper enlists him as her sidekick in her quest for an unforgettable summer. Armed with two bikes and an unlimited supply of root beer floats, the pair set out to find their place in a town that's set on rejecting them. Along the way, they will find hope, friendship - and maybe something more . . .

Edited by Philip Thody, translated by Ellen Conroy Kennedy. "Here now, for the first time in a complete English translation, we have Camus' three little volumes of essays, plus a selection of his critical comments on literature and his own place in it. As might be expected, the main interest of these writings is that they illuminate new facets of his usual subject matter."--The New York Times Book Review "...a new single work for American readers that stands among the very finest."--The Nation

New York Times and worldwide bestselling author Isabel Allende returns with a sweeping novel that journeys from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil that offers “a timely message about immigration and the meaning of home” (People). During the biggest Brooklyn snowstorm in living memory, Richard Bowmaster, a lonely university professor in his sixties, hits the car of Evelyn Ortega, a young undocumented immigrant from Guatemala, and what at first seems an inconvenience takes a more serious turn when Evelyn comes to his house, seeking help. At a loss, the professor asks his tenant, Lucia Maraz, a fellow academic from Chile, for her advice. As these three lives intertwine, each will discover truths about how they have been shaped by the tragedies they witnessed, and Richard and Lucia will find unexpected, long overdue love. Allende returns here to themes that have propelled some of her finest work: political injustice, the art of survival, and the essential nature of—and our need for—love.

DURING THE SUMMER OF 2017, I DECIDED I NEEDED A BREAK. Like many of my friends and former colleagues in Washington, D.C., I needed to slow down after several years of a fast-paced job and lots of life changes. That summer, as I worked to reset and create a new vision for my future, I shared my struggles and successes with friends - in person and via text - through quotes, questions and writing prompts. When my friends asked me to re-create that experience for them, I decided to put pen to paper. That is how Invincible Summer came to be. Invincible Summer: A 30-day Reflectional on the Power of Kindness was designed to mirror the way I spent those summer days - focusing on what I was grateful for, reflecting on different aspects of my life and doing something good for myself and others. I love quotes, so each day includes a quote and an accompanying Bible verse that has inspired me. While the idea of journaling can seem overwhelming, the prompts in Invincible Summer are designed for you to enjoy quiet time for however long you have it. Whether you have 5 minutes or 50 minutes, I hope you step out of the hustle and bustle of your everyday life and enjoy some quiet time to reflect and refocus. MAY THIS 30-DAY JOURNEY HELP YOU TO LIVE MORE FULLY IN THE MOMENT, CELEBRATE THE BLESSINGS IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE AND MOVE CLOSER TO THE PERSON YOU HOPE TO BE.

In 2022, the possibility of a full-time position as an analyst at one of Chicago’s most renowned investment banks draws the starry-eyed ambitions of an unnamed protagonist better within reach. Straight out of college with only loans to her name, she comes to an excruciating realization, however, lurking just underneath the surface: she’s a small-town girl from a fishing town in Maine—lost in the claptrap hustle-and-bustle of urban life. In an attempt to find a new home, this character throws herself into a romantic relationship that quickly results in coercion into nonconsensual sex. In the amorphous predicament, she cannot discern the assailant’s intentions but rationalizes the decision of sticking with him as he begins to gain international acclaim as a movie producer. Lured again by financial stability and prestige, she dares to want something else—but is it too late? By the end of this story, An Invincible Summer illustrates the complications of a rapidly growing industrialized capitalist country in the 21st century as the narrator struggles to reconcile the potential hard hours of a dead-end job versus trying to maintain romance. Amid struggles with excessive drinking and familial alienation, this character’s widespread relatability reveals the conditions of the modern individual, as well as the depths, and how one balances the light and the dark—now and for the future.
