Book Description

This book visualizes children everywhere no matter where they are, and what they are doing really doesn't matter because angels are always around. They are watchers and protectors of the human generations while appearing in dreams and in real-life experiences. This angel seems to be watching over these kids for a particular reason. Nana owns this town, and it's a kid fun zone, and everything is free to the kids. When they jump into the little red wagon, they are invisible to all until they jump out of the little red wagon. This book allows kids to use their imagination.

Book Description

One man's odyssey into the brutal hive of the National Football League As an unsigned free agent who rose through the practice squad to the starting lineup of the Denver Broncos, Nate Jackson took the path of thousands of unknowns before him to carve out a professional football career twice as long as the average player. Through his story recounted here—from scouting combines to preseason cuts to byzantine film studies to glorious touchdown catches—even knowledgeable football fans will glean a new, starkly humanized understanding of the NFL's workweek. Fast-paced, lyrical, dirty, and hilariously unvarnished, Slow Getting Up is an unforgettable look at the real lives of America's best athletes putting their bodies and minds through hell.

Book Description

In this book, I share my personal memories and lived experiences of growing up in Bangladesh and my Canadian journey. It is neither an autobiography nor a chronological account of life, rather I focus on selected themes and stories through critical self-reflection within the gendered social, cultural and historical contexts. The stories as they unfold may take the readers on an emotional journey with feelings and events of their own. Reframing My Worth is a story about forging our own path in life and never letting the challenges along the way keep us from achieving our dreams. This book may be of interest to those studying gendered socialization, migration, and women’s rights in cross-national perspectives.

Book Description

A Place Between Waking and Forgetting is dark speculative fiction, an Afro-Irreal collection in which transformative stories of culture, diversity, climate change, unlimited futures, collisions of worlds, mythology, and more, inhabit. It cases black people stories in bold and evocative text, at times deeply flawed but potentially redeemable protagonists in rich hues of blackness and light. Something beautiful, something dark in lyrical language packed with affection, dread, anguish and hope. Featuring the World Fantasy Award finalist story “The Devil Don’t Come With Horns”, this collection of short stories is the latest offering by a genre-bending, multi-award winner. It arrives with a poetic introduction by award-winning writer and poet Linda D. Addison, the first African-American recipient of the world-renowned HWA Bram Stoker Award, and has received five awards for her collections. Addison has been honored with the HWA Lifetime Achievement Award, HWA Mentor of the Year and SFPA Grand Master of Fantastic Poetry.
