DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Olivarez steps into the ‘inbetween’ standing between Mexico and America in these compelling, emotional poems. Written with humor and sincerity” (Newsweek). Named a Best Book of the Year by Newsweek and NPR. In this “devastating debut” (Publishers Weekly), poet José Olivarez explores the stories, contradictions, joys, and sorrows that embody life in the spaces between Mexico and America. He paints vivid portraits of good kids, bad kids, families clinging to hope, life after the steel mills, gentrifying barrios, and everything in between. Drawing on the rich traditions of Latinx and Chicago writers like Sandra Cisneros and Gwendolyn Brooks, Olivarez creates a home out of life in the in-between. Combining wry humor with potent emotional force, Olivarez takes on complex issues of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and immigration using an everyday language that invites the reader in, with a unique voice that makes him a poet to watch. “The son of Mexican immigrants, Olivarez celebrates his Mexican-American identity and examines how those two sides conflict in a striking collection of poems.” —USA Today

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the endlessly hot summer of 1980, newspaper reporter Daniel Palmer finally gets his chance to do an investigation of what could possibly be a once-in-a-lifetime story. The only problem is he has to go undercover to do it. Palmer goes to work at a train-wrecking yard in efforts to find out why multiple supposedly accidental deaths have occurred in a very short period. Initial reports seem fruitless, and the tough physical work makes Palmer ready to call it quits almost immediately. When his boss makes him feel guilty for giving up so easily, he decides maybe he should give things another chance before throwing in the towel. Sooner than he knows it, he finds himself in the lion's den and deep into a seemingly unsolvable mystery that includes death right before his eyes, which creates additional trouble for him and his co-workers while trying to get to the truth. Palmer now knows in his heart that all these supposed accidents may be a cover-up for something much larger. His only chance at confirmation is to trust the people around him. But who can he trust and who must he avoid? If the hard work doesn't kill him first, opening up to the wrong person or persons might. Through a series of sheer luck and relentless fortitude, Palmer sees an opportunity and goes for it. Is the answer to all he is fighting for really there? Who can help him, and who will certainly hurt him? Will he live to write the story he was assigned, or will he become part of a story that will never be told?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLisa Manterfield was a sensible 32-year-old when she met The One—a man who sparked a passion for tango, an urge to break down closed doors, and a deep-rooted desire to reproduce. Five years later she was a baby addict, hiding her addiction, plotting a maternity ward heist, and threatening anything that got in her way, including her beloved husband and his pesky practicality. In this gritty, award-winning memoir, Manterfield traces her spiraling route from rational 21st-century woman to desperate mama-wannabe. She examines the siren song of motherhood, the insidious lure of the fertility industry, and the repercussions of being childless in a mom-centric society. But this isn’t just another infertility story with another miracle baby ending, nor is it a sad introspective of a childless woman; this is a story about love, desire, and choices—and ultimately about hope. It is the story of a woman who escapes her addiction, not with a baby, but with her sanity, her marriage, and her sense-of-self intact. 2012 Independent Publishers Book Awards winner.
