In this Duckhorn's thirteenth published book of poems, she obviously shirks the number thirteen in her title, calling it Twelve plus One. No harm there. She writes her selected poems in six parts where the topics range from alien space crafts, time, heaven and ascension, and much more. Using her trademark knack for phrases in each poem, she is an ever-evolving, free-verse, modern poet. She loves people and wants to share her poems with the world.

The bestselling author of the adult novel Room bursts onto the children's book scene with this cross between Little Miss Sunshine, Cheaper by the Dozen, and Modern Family. Sumac Lottery is nine years old and the self-proclaimed "good girl" of her (VERY) large, (EXTREMELY) unruly family. And what a family the Lotterys are: four parents, children both adopted and biological, and a menagerie of pets, all living and learning together in a sprawling house called Camelottery. Then one day, the news breaks that one of their grandfathers is suffering from dementia and will be coming to live with them. And not just any grandfather -- the long dormant "Grumps," who fell out with his son so long ago that he hasn't been part of any of their lives.Suddenly, everything changes. Sumac has to give up her room to make the newcomer feel at home. She tries to be nice, but prickly Grumps clearly disapproves of how the Lotterys live: whole grains, strange vegetables, rescue pets, a multicultural household... He's worse than just tough to get along with -- Grumps has got to go! But can Sumac help him find a home where he belongs?

Divided by day and night and on the run from authorities, star-crossed young lovers unearth a sinister conspiracy in this compelling romantic thriller. Seventeen-year-old Soleil Le Coeur is a Smudge—a night dweller prohibited by law from going out during the day. When she fakes an injury in order to get access to and kidnap her newborn niece—a day dweller, or Ray—she sets in motion a fast-paced adventure that will bring her into conflict with the powerful lawmakers who order her world, and draw her together with the boy she was destined to fall in love with, but who is also a Ray. Set in a vivid alternate reality and peopled with complex, deeply human characters on both sides of the day-night divide, Elizabeth Fama's Plus One is a brilliantly imagined drama of individual liberty and civil rights, and a fast-paced romantic adventure story.

This book is an enjoyable read possibly different to any kind of book the reader has ever experienced. It is an intriguing commentary on life that begs to be re-read, studied and retained for reference, and for others in the family to read and think about the way we live, our relationships, hopes and fears, and making decisions work, as well as asking; how is it some just seem to sail through life?' It is about why we should rein in thoughts and feelings before they take control, interfere and misdirect our lives, and about our habits and customs that betray our basic animal origins, and our primitive tribal instincts that drive us in everything, including that inborn, primordial instinct that asks, is there an after-life? For both believers and non-believers, this book offers a tantalising explanation of what is God, a precise definition of love, and why Satan does not exist. Here is down-to-earth food for the soul, a practical philosophy for contentment. It is for anyone with a yearning and enquiring mind on many matters of importance in their life, and a comfort to those who worry or are just curious to understand life, others and themselves better.
