Holiday Dreams, Christy


Book Description

It might take more than a Christmas miracle to bring these two together. Christy McPherson doesn’t care that the Hawthorne family practically owns her small town. Their wealth has never impressed her. But Jasper Hawthorne is too charming to ignore. And unfortunately, spending time with him after her cousin’s wedding (and a bit too much wine) threw Christy’s entire life into chaos. Now she’s left with the painful task of telling him he’s about to be a father…and wondering where they could possibly go from there. Jasper wasn’t used to meeting women who had no interest in his family or his money, so the gorgeous Christy appealed to him on every possible level. Now that she’s carrying his child, Jasper has every intention of making her his wife. If only he knew how to convince her that he doesn’t only love their child… Can the magic of the holiday season help Christy and Jasper turn their marriage of convenience into something more permanent? Or will their shot at happily ever after be over before they can even share their first New Year’s Eve kiss as husband and wife?

Dreaming the Present


Book Description

This is a story of art and movement building at the limits of imagination. In their darkest hours, W. E. B. Du Bois, Ella Baker, George Schuyler, and Fannie Lou Hamer gathered hundreds across the United States and beyond to build vast, but forgotten, networks of mutual aid: farms, shops, schools, banks, daycares, homes, health clinics, and burial grounds. They called these spaces "cooperatives," local challenges to global capital, where people pooled all they had to meet their needs. By reading their activism as an artistic practice, Irvin Hunt argues that their primary need was to free their movement from the logic of progress. From a remarkably diverse archive, Hunt extrapolates three new ways to describe the time of a movement: a continual beginning, a deliberate falling apart, and a simultaneity, a kind of all-at-once-ness. These temporalities reflect how a people maneuvered the law, reappropriated property, built autonomous communities, and fundamentally reimagined what a movement can be. Their movement was not the dream of a brighter day; it was the making of today out of the stuff of dreams. Hunt offers both an original account of Black mutual aid and, in a world of diminishing futures, a moving meditation on the possibilities of the present.
