Lake of Fire
In the Sixties, the Flower Children were making love not war, the Hippies were dropping acid and protesting Vietnam and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was demanding civil rights. Cults, communes and live-ins sprang up around the country. One charismatic leader started a cult in New England that continues to this day. This shocking true story tells of one girl's life in that cult. Brought there as a three year old, cut off from all contact with the outside world, the young Andie struggles to survive in a world that is both claustrophobic and frightening. In the wake of Jonestown, Waco and Heaven's Gate, we see a closeup view of life in a cult and a young girl's escape from one brave new world to another.

Owned for Christmas
Christmas with her boyfriend's family seems like a lovely idea—until she finds her previous Dom staying for the holidays too. Kate Baker is nervous about meeting her boyfriend Daniel's family. When she walks into the family home to find Grant, her former Dom, spending the holidays with them too, her world turns upside down. How can she spend Christmas with the man who shattered her heart and broke her trust in the whole BDSM scene? Although she had no idea that Grant and Daniel were brothers, Grant revives all those needs that Daniel can't fulfill. But she won't give up the man who helped mend her broken heart after Grant shattered it—even if she has to bury the submissive part of herself to do it. A year ago, Grant Farrell left the woman he loved—and the best sub he's ever controlled—to tend the family ranch after his father's death.

Darkness and Light

Testify
This award-winning debut book of poetry examines race, masculinity, religion, class, and the African American experience in the American Midwest. A book of elegiac ambivalence, Testify’s speaker often finds himself trapped between received binaries: black and white, ghetto and suburban, atheism and Catholicism. In many ways, this work is a Bildungsroman detailing the maturation of a black man raised in the crack-laden 1980s, with hip-hop, jazz, and blues as its soundtrack. Rendered with keen attention to the economic decline of the Midwest due to the departure of the automotive industry, this book portrays the speaker wrestling with his city’s demise, family relationships, interracial lo...

She had a unique sense of purpose, read widel...
