What happens when a young black slave with unique powers shakes up the rural plantation he's born on?

Set against the background of a turbulent era when slavery was a flaming cloud on history's horizon, Jelani, a runaway slave, recollects the inspirational story of his life.

By age eleven, all he knows of the outside world is what he has learned from his mother, and Jessie, the plantation owner's daughter. He is quickly introduced to the ugly realities of a slave's life through the actions of a sadistic owner and overseers who are little better than animals, willing to use rape or beatings to ensure their dominance. But Jelani does not break. He has the hope of the truly innocent, which, together with a special power, allows him to prevail.

WANT TO HEAR A SECRET?

In 1999, Ella was one of three students who arrived at her Denver school with a cache of weapons and a plan to use them. Years later, she sifts through accounts of other violent young women, writing letters to a little sister who had to grow up in the aftermath of that day.

In 1952, Sally was a runaway, hitch-hiking around Australia with a strange, secretive girl named Amy. Each outcasts in their own way, the pair navigate a landscape scarred by old memories and tragedies, searching for a place that will feel like safety and home.

And in 2011, Charlotte was a music journalist on tour with a band, listening to their stories of loss and hope. Though they are in very different times and places, the three are linked by a web of legacies and second chances.

"Beautifully written and relentlessly suspenseful, it's a great book to curl up with on a cold winter's night. Just be sure to keep the doors locked and all the lights on!" - Lucy Taylor, The Silence Between the Screams

"...more than a great read; it is a fascinating meditation on the nature of horror. There are supernatural elements to the book, yes, but the setting (an impoverished, ruined logging town) and the main characters (three school girls with hopes and dreams made improbable if not impossible by their realities) are a beautifully rendered commentary on the cyclical nature of real-world human tragedy." - Molly Tanzer, A Pretty Mouth

Meet Jack Leonard…

Jack was destined to be an alcoholic. His father, Billy, is a happy-go-lucky drunk from East Texas whose behavior varies from outdated to outrageous. He isn’t a bad person, but he tends to make bad decisions. Billy drives his life like he drives his truck: under the influence.

Against all odds, Jack escapes his fifty-percent-alcohol-by-volume fate. How? He meets a girl, of course. Samantha rescues Jack from his path of self-destruction. Fast-forward twenty years, and Jack’s life is nearly perfect: he has the job, the house, a wonderful marriage, and a 10-year-old son he loves more than anything.

But life is never perfect...is it?

Dr. Joanna Russo, Geneticist, an honors graduate of England’s Cambridge University, guided research for a genetic laboratory just a subway ride away from her apartment in New York City. There were no clues or omens that might foretell events soon to engulf her, changing her life forever.
And the Serpentine Enigma is where it all began…
Joanna received an invitation from Ian Slattery, her Cambridge doctorate mentor, to join him at the Serpentine Foundation. Joanna accepted an exploratory trip and soon found herself involved in the shadowy world of intelligence.

A despicable stock trader is found buried under an avalanche of his own rock garden rocks, causing fired-from-the-force Richard Sherlock to be yanked off the bowling alley and whisked to the crime scene by his pampered protégé Tiffany Richmond. He must prove murder and stop payment of a twelve-million-dollar Richmond Insurance policy.
Nothing makes sense. Crime scene is a mess. There is no money trail. There are too many motives from too many suspects who have too many alibis. Worst of all Sherlock’s bad back is acting up, his ex-wife wants more money, and the murder investigation is putting a serious dent in his parenting schedule of his two daughters.
Richard Sherlock may be a reluctant dick, but he’s better at finding the who in whodunit than anyone else.

Groomed for greatness, 15-year-old Jacob Hawthorne is sent to Raker Island, home to one of the Northeast’s elite boarding schools. It is at Wellington Academy where he befriends other sons of privilege who suffer the same affliction—growing up in their fathers’ shadow. The old adage—the sons of great men rarely attain greatness—haunts these boys as they try to redefine themselves in the wake of lives left behind on the mainland. Together, the boys push the boundaries of expulsion, excitement, death and self-discovery. But when tragedy strikes, Jacob is forced to journey into the past to reclaim a well-guarded family secret.

Join Brian, as he tries to woo the girl that works in the local shop, will passing out face down in super glue while trying to make her a gift hinder his chances of getting her to go out with him?

Will Father Frederick, an alcoholic vicar who has a slight issue with stalking be able to win back the heart of a woman he loved a long time ago?

And will Ethel, who thinks that throwing hard rice instead of confetti in a Bride Groom's face is an acceptable form of sport, be able to catch whichever one of these two losers in love with her trick as they step out of the church on the happy day?
