The Fifth Finger


Book Description

Bethany winks at Ronny and continues to scan her groceries. "He looks like he's trying to get out of here as quickly as we are."

His career is on the rise, family safe, and happiness always within arm's reach. The control he craves is intoxicating. Doyen, a cult leader, has grown weary of hiding. He brings with him a message, and after that a punishment. While his next trip into town just might be the undoing of a family, it is a critical step towards fulfilling the divine destiny he embraces.

How much can one person give out before they no longer recognize themselves? THE FIFTH FINGER is a thrilling story about surviving each day in the rift that is created when the light and dark of life meet - freedom and manipulation, sun and storm, family and followers, love and loss. The uncomfortable feeling of being watched mixed with a fragile hope that the barely recognizable pieces of a shattered family will fit together again. What would you do to keep the people you love safe? How far would you go to get them back?

She educates herself, learns to type with her little finger and speak through the Lightwriter. Finally, she works through unfavorable social systems and attitudes to get a career as an event manager.




Buddha's Little Finger


Book Description

Russian novelist Victor Pelevin is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most brilliant young writers at work today. His comic inventiveness and mind-bending talent prompted Time magazine to proclaim him a "psychedelic Nabokov for the cyber-age." In his third novel, Buddha's Little Finger, Pelevin has created an intellectually dazzling tale about identity and Russian history, as well as a spectacular elaboration of Buddhist philosophy. Moving between events of the Russian Civil War of 1919 and the thoughts of a man incarcerated in a contemporary Moscow psychiatric hospital, Buddha's Little Finger is a work of demonic absurdism by a writer who continues to delight and astonish.
