Angels' Innocence
Miranda was a single mother, just trying to get by on a barista's salary. When he came into the coffee shop, she just thought he was a homeless person, in for a handout. But when her Hero saved her from a mugging, a little act of kindness brought them closer than she would have expected. But when the mysterious executives of Angel Corp took too much of an interest in him, a mystery started to unfold, whether she was ready for it or not. Little did she know what that little act of kindness would do to her life. For when you entertain strangers, angels might not be so far away.
Scaring the Kids
Evil people are scaring the kids in these nine stories. Such as Birgitta whom is plotting the murder of her stepdaughter, when she starts seeing huge, glowing eyes floating outside her home at night, and freshly gouged-out eyes in many places inside her home both day and night. In another story, Justin is scared when he comes face-to-face with a vicious child rapist and killer in the woods. In the mostly amusing novella Eyes Of Fire And Water, Troy is devastated by three murders and he becomes very scared when he knows that the killer wants to murder him, too. In each story, a child is threatened by a killer, however, they all either elude the killers or wreak vengeance upon them.
Highlands-A-Go-Go
Atlanta's Virginia-Highland neighborhood: depending on who you talk to, it's a historic suburb; or, a stylish entertainment district; or, a left-wing, political powerhouse; or a state-of-mind. It's also where Donovan Ford, an über-hip New York columnist who's unmotivated, under-employed and suddenly un-married, finds himself riding out his existential crisis. After years of writing about all that's trendy and new, he's begun to wonder what he has missed in life. That's until his octogenarian Aunt DeLaine loads him into her biodiesel Rolls-Royce with a thermos of Manhattans. Over the course of a year, she takes him on a ride of discovery, introducing him to local customs, southern flora, and society fauna (aka, Atlanta's Grande Dames) ...not to mention himself.
Between Two Worlds

Complicit Participation
In this incisive critique of the ways performances of allyship can further entrench white privilege, author Carrie J. Preston analyses her own complicit participation and that of other audience members and theater professionals, deftly examining the prevailing framework through which white liberals participate in antiracist theater and institutional "diversity, equity, and inclusion" initiatives. The book addresses immersive, documentary, site-specific, experimental, street, and popular theatre in chapters on Jean Genet's The Blacks, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's An Octoroon, George C. Wolfe's Shuffle Along, Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton, Anna Deavere Smith's Notes from the Field, and Claudia Rankine's The White Card. Far from abandoning the work to dismantle institutionalized racism, Preston seeks to reveal the contradictions and complicities at the heart of allyship as a crucial step toward full and radical participation in antiracist efforts.
Medieval Clothing and Textiles
This volume focuses largely on the British Isles, with papers on dress terms in two major works of literature, the Welsh Mabinogion and the Middle English Pearl; a study of a 13th-century royal bride's trousseau.
Paper Dolls
“You know, Yossi, we couldn't dress like this in the Philippines… wear earrings, dye our hair, put on make up, lipstick. It's forbidden.” In Tel Aviv, Israel, a group of Filipino immigrants work as live-in carers for elderly Orthodox Jewish men. Six days a week they provide dedicated support to their employers. But on the seventh day they transform into a homespun, sassy musical drag act. Meet the Paper Dolls! An extraordinary true story exploring an unlikely collision of cultures and the universal desire to find 'home'. Based on Tomer Heymann's award-winning documentary of the same name, Paper Dolls explores changing patterns of global immigration and expanding notions of family through the prism of a community of Filipino transvestites who live illegally in Israel.
