Book Description

One cold fall day, high school junior Liz Emerson steers her car into a tree. This haunting and heartbreaking story is told by a surprising and unexpected narrator and unfolds in nonlinear flashbacks even as Liz's friends, foes, and family gather at the hospital and Liz clings to life. This riveting debut will appeal to fans of Before I Fall, by Lauren Oliver, and 13 Reasons Why, by Jay Asher. "On the day Liz Emerson tries to die, they had reviewed Newton's laws of motion in physics class. Then, after school, she put them into practice by running her Mercedes off the road." Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? Why did she give up? The nonlinear novel pieces together the short and devastating life of Meridian High's most popular junior girl. Mass, acceleration, momentum, force—Liz didn't understand it in physics, and even as her Mercedes hurtles toward the tree, she doesn't understand it now. How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To love someone? To be a daughter? Or a mother? Is life truly more than cause and effect? Amy Zhang's haunting and universal story will appeal to fans of Lauren Oliver, Gayle Forman, and Jay Asher.

Book Description

"If Christ has not been raised, Then our proclamation has been in vain And your faith has been in vain." (1 Co 15: 14) But Christ is risen and our Faith is not in vain. It is a beautiful Faith, full of mystery and miracles and truth. Unfortunately, we do not have the written words of Jesus of Nazareth for our guidance, but we do have the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. And we do have the Letters of St. Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles. We are also fortunate to have the very words of the great St. Augustine, written in Latin, found neatly stored in his personal library after his death in 430 A.D. He left us with these famous words, the opening line of his "Confessions": "Our hearts are restless, Until they rest in you." "Cor inquietum, Donec requiescat in te." This book, written in 2002 during the War on Terrorism, reflects on the fact that we all must die. But it contends that a Christian dies differently than others: he dies with the knowledge that Christ is risen from the dead, and with the hope of his own resurrection into glory. He dies with the words of St. Paul, whispering in his ears like a childhood prayer: "Awake, O Sleeper Rise up from the dead And Christ will shine on you". (Ep 4: 14)

“Southern charm oozes off the page”* of this sexy and poignant novel about family, friendships, and first romance—from Jaye Robin Brown, the critically acclaimed author of Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit. It's Jandy Nelson’s The Sky Is Everywhere meets Sarah Dessen’s This Lullaby. Amber Vaughn is a good girl. She sings solos at church, babysits her nephew after school, and spends Friday nights hanging out at her best friend Devon’s house. But when she learns about an audition at a prestigious arts school, Amber decides that her dream—to sing on bigger stages—could also be her ticket to a new life. Devon’s older brother, Will, helps Amber prepare for her one chance to try out. The more time Will and Amber spend together, the more complicated their relationship becomes . . . and Amber starts to wonder if she’s such a good girl, after all. Then, in an afternoon, the bottom drops out of her family’s world—and Amber is faced with an impossible choice between her promise as an artist and the people she loves. Amber always thought she knew what a good girl would do. But between right and wrong, there’s a whole world of possibilities. *Kirkus
