That's What Amanda Said
Amanda Graham's world was destroyed by her parents' divorce. She left her friends and father in New York, moved to Florida, and entered a small, cliquey private school. In a misguided attempt to become popular, Amanda lied about one of her teachers. She found the friendship she had been seeking, but ultimately realized that that sort of friendship wasn't what she had been looking for, and it certainly wasn't worth the price she had to pay.
For the Love of the Child
A self-absorbed, womanizing businessman has an unexpected child by a carefree single mother of two children. Infuriated by the womans deceptive assurances of birth control, he wants nothing to do with her or the unborn child. To appease his conscience, he reasons that her deception has cast doubt on the true paternity of the child while reaffirming his own lack of emotional attachment over a passing fling. However, several months into the pregnancy, he cannot resist the gnawing feeling that the unborn child, potentially his first, is his and may need him. As he juggles his feelings of guilt, with the escalating feelings the mother begins to cultivate toward him, he comes to crossroads: continue down the same selfish, fleshly path that caused this, or begin living with a purpose, a cause. Yet if he decides to change himself, can he change the stereotype that envelopes, the system that rejects, and the society that questions? How hard will a father fight for the love of his child? For the Love of the Child shows how one fathers custodial fight for his endangered daughter magnifies the traditional flaws of gender inequality and prejudice within the judicial system.

The Two Faces of Fear
Over the past two decades, increased criminal and state violence has profoundly transformed everyday life in Mexico. In The Two Faces of Fear, Ana Villarreal draws on two years of qualitative fieldwork conducted during a major turf war in Monterrey, Mexico to trace the far-reaching impact of fear and violence on social ties, daily practices, and everyday spaces. Villarreal brings two seemingly contradictory faces of fear into focus--its ability to both isolate and concentrate people and resources, deepening inequality. While all residents of one of Mexico's largest metropolises confronted new threats, the most privileged leveraged vastly unequal resources to spatially concentrate and defend one municipality more fiercely than the rest. Within this defended city, business, nightlife, and public space thrived at the expense of the greater metropolis. The book puts forth a new approach to the study of emotion and provides tangible evidence of how quickly fear worsens inequality beyond Mexico and the "war on drugs."
