Grace Williams Says It Loud
This isn't an ordinary love story. But then Grace isn't an ordinary girl. 'Disgusting,' said the nurse. And when no more could be done, they put her away, aged eleven. On her first day at the Briar Mental Institute, Grace meets Daniel. He sees a different Grace: someone to share secrets and canoodle with, someone to fight for. Debonair Daniel, who can type with his feet, fills Grace's head with tales from Paris and the world beyond. This is Grace's story: her life, its betrayals and triumphs, disappointment and loss, the taste of freedom; roses, music and tiny scraps of paper. Most of all, it is about the love of a lifetime.
Swell
Gabriel Hawthorn has never felt so strongly for anyone before, and definitely not for a guy. But somewhere between surfing and skating he’s fallen for Will Artino. Will, who is handsome, older, and more confident. Gabriel feels a strong pull every time they’re together and thinks about him constantly when they're apart. Could Will ever possibly feel the same way? Is Gabriel willing to do what it takes to find out? Set against the backdrop of Southern California in 1977, Swell is the story of an all consuming first love and what happens when you’re willing to take a risk.

Williams Sisters: A Biography of Venus and Serena Williams
ABOUT THE BOOK Venus and Serena Williams took the world by storm when they burst onto the tennis scene in the 1990s. Their rise stardom marked the realization of their father’s dream. Richard Williams had dreamt his daughters would be professional tennis players, even before they were born. We could probably could imagined what his wife thought when he ran into the room and said to her, “Let’s have kids and make them tennis players,” especially when she wasn’t even pregnant with them yet, from what he told Newsweek. Even when the Williams sisters were just under 5 years old, Mr. Williams recognized his daughters’ raw talent. It took sheer determination and dedication from his lit...

Saving Grace
Being educated on domestic violence brings awareness that provides knowledge to save the life of victims of abuse. Women should not have to suffer in silence. The faith community has traditionally been a voice that brought hope and encouragement. It is vital for the faith community to continue to be a voice even in controversial matters. Therefore, the community of faith must no longer be silent about domestic violence as it is an evil that destroys our families and threatens the existence of future generations. It is imperative that professionals, family and friends become a village that is educated about domestic violence. There has been one to many deaths of women and children as a result...
State of Grace
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD NOMINEE • This "beautifully crafted" (The New York Times Book Review), haunting, profoundly disquieting novel manages to be at once sparse and lush, to combine Biblical simplicity with Gothic intensity and strangeness. It is the story of Kate, despised by her mother, bound to her father by ties stronger and darker than blood. It is the story of her attempted escapes—in detached sexual encounters, at a Southern college populated by spoiled and perverse beauties, and in a doomed marriage to a man who cannot understand what she is running from. Witty, erotic, searing acute, State of Grace bears the inimitable stamp of one of our finest and most provocative writers.
