DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs a perfect pairing of the journey of life and love, For the People and Lover's Lane are grafted together to form one unique collection of lyric, poems, and short stories. Written to expose the unspoken pains, joys, and uncertainties packaged with life, the passages allow each reader to revisit their familiarities about love, grief, and recovery; leaving the reader with a sense of wholeness and contentment. To the misunderstood teen, mother, father, wife, and husband, "For the People" is our story as it expresses the disappointments and trials that have dictated our decisions. The feelings of loss friendships, the memories that will forever linger as "what ifs" in our minds, and the promise of success will forever unite us as a people. This book was written "For the People", the human being that dwells in all of us despite being at times oppressed by our minds and shackled in our hearts. This book is for you. This book is for us. When embarking on a journey we hope for smooth travels; however, as most have experienced journeys have obstacles. Each time we overcome an obstacle motivation to continue on envelopes us, pushing us to endure. The pursuit of happiness is the largest obstacle in the journey of love as love does not always result in happiness and happiness does not always exist with love. Lover's Lane takes you through the obstacles leading to the path of happiness. As the second piece this has been the most promising work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"A wonderful, rich, and fascinating book, and a great read. Biale explores the meanings of blood within Jewish and Christian cultures from the blood of the sacrifices of the book of Leviticus to the blood of the Eucharist to the blood of medieval blood libels and the place of blood in Nazi ideology. Biale shows that blood symbolism stands at the center of the divide between Judaism and Christianity. This book will be the point of departure for all future studies of the subject."—Shaye J.D. Cohen, Harvard University "I know of no other work that, through numerous insights and useful distinctions, so alerts us to and comprehensively documents the ongoing constitutive role of Christian and anti-Semitic perceptions of Jewish existence and the interactions between them. Whereas much contemporary historiography has become so specialized that historians have surrendered the larger picture, David Biale's panoramic perspective reveals the great value and interest of this work."—Steven E. Aschheim, author of Beyond the Border: The German-Jewish Legacy Abroad

DOWNLOAD EBOOKParanormal romance fans who are looking to up the ante will be drawn to this tale of horror, fantasy, and romance. For Mab Prowd, the practice of blood magic is as natural as breathing. It's all she's ever known. Growing up on an isolated farm in Kansas with other practitioners may have kept her from making friends her own age, but it has also given her a sense of purpose—she's connected to the land and protective of the magic. And she is able to practice it proudly and happily out in the open with only the crows as her companions. Mab will do anything to keep the ancient practice alive and guard its secrets. But one morning while she is working out a particularly tricky spell she encounters Will, a local boy who is trying to exorcise some mundane personal demons. He experiences Mab's magic in a way his mind cannot comprehend and is all too happy to end their chance meeting. But secrets that were kept from Mab by the earlier generations of blood magicians have come home to roost. And she and Will are drawn back together, time again by this dangerous force looking to break free from the earth and reclaim its own dark power. "The power of this narrative lies in the gorgeous prose, lush with a gothic sensibility, ripe with sensual images of horrific beauty. . . . Passion, heartbreak, yearning and dread bleed from every page. A perfect book for those who loved Wuthering Heights and are looking for an essentially American gothic."--Kirkus Reviews

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA searing debut YA poetry and essay collection about a Black cancer patient who faces medical racism after being diagnosed with leukemia in their early twenties, for fans of Audre Lorde's The Cancer Journals and Laurie Halse Anderson's Shout. When Walela is diagnosed at twenty-three with advanced stage blood cancer, they're suddenly thrust into the unsympathetic world of tubes and pills, doctors who don’t use their correct pronouns, and hordes of "well-meaning" but patronizing people offering unsolicited advice as they navigate rocky personal relationships and share their story online. But this experience also deepens their relationship to their ancestors, providing added support from another realm. Walela's diagnosis becomes a catalyst for their self-realization. As they fill out forms in the insurance office in downtown Los Angeles or travel to therapy in wealthier neighborhoods, they begin to understand that cancer is where all forms of their oppression intersect: Disabled. Fat. Black. Queer. Nonbinary. In Bless the Blood: A Cancer Memoir, the author details a galvanizing account of their survival despite the U.S. medical system, and of the struggle to face death unafraid.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKKidnapped kids…butchered babysitters…and a trace of dark magic…is this a case even Logan can’t solve? Phoenix sure thinks so… Ever since she left Nile, teenage witch, Phoenix Grey, has wanted nothing more than to put that night on Bird Island behind her, hunt down some monsters, and save some people. But Phoenix is not the one in charge. Logan is. And he’s only focused on hunting down the demon, Carmen, and getting his revenge. But after weeks of dead ends, bad motels, and moody best friends (*cough* Cole *cough*), she is so over it. Then, when she spots a missing child poster, Phoenix decides to take matters into her own hands. She soon uncovers a case so baffling, even Logan is at a loss: vanishing children, shredded teenagers, a local legend of blood...and none of it adds up. Meanwhile, Cole is suffering from demonic dreams that no one can explain…and when his nightmares start to come true, Phoenix thinks they should use them to their advantage in solving the mystery. Unfortunately, no one else does. And after a series of (questionable) decisions, one of which resulting in another attack, Phoenix is sidelined from the investigation. Because, somehow, she’s still not in charge. But it’s her case. She’s going to solve it. The only problem is: How can Phoenix hunt down the monster when nobody trusts her to do it? The Grey Sisters Saga is a fast-paced, YA (cozy) dark fantasy series with magic, monsters, and mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. A Supernatural meets Sabrina the Teenage Witch thriller, the saga follows twin witch sisters on a monster hunting road trip across the United States. But when the hunters become the hunted, everything changes—and monsters might prove to be the least of their problems. With strong female leads and even stronger family themes, the Grey Sisters Saga promises to be the next cult classic.
