An American Library Association Notable Book In discrete disclosures joined with the intricacy of a spider's web, James Galvin depicts the hundred-year history of a meadow in the arid mountains of the Colorado/Wyoming border. Galvin describes the seasons, the weather, the wildlife, and the few people who do not possess but are themselves possessed by this terrain. In so doing he reveals an experience that is part of our heritage and mythology. For Lyle, Ray, Clara, and App, the struggle to survive on an independent family ranch is a series of blameless failures and unacclaimed successes that illuminate the Western character. The Meadow evokes a sense of place that can be achieved only by someone who knows it intimately.
It is Sunday, June 20, 1756, in Calcutta. Fort William has been overtaken, and most of its occupants have fled or been killed. Only 145 denizens remain, and nothing could prepare them for the horrors that await them in the Black Hole, a minuscule military prison in which they will be crammed for the night. Only twenty-two will survive, emerging from the mass of dead bodies in the stifling Calcutta dawn. During this dark episode in British–Indian relations, one resolute and enigmatic man rose to the forefront of the struggle and toiled to save as many lives as possible. Stephen Goss makes this man, John Zephaniah Holwell, come alive in a dynamic novelization of his exploits. Holwell was a doctor, a scientist, a military surgeon, a mayor, a magistrate, and a governor, as well as a devoted husband and father. The Other Side of Morning imagines Holwell’s beginnings in his British homeland and his quest for adventure as a young man. In this scintillating portrayal of his life and work, we follow him as he studies smallpox, becomes a proponent of cutting-edge medical methods, falls in love, travels to India as a surgeon for the East India Company, and plays a complex and pivotal role in Indian-British relations in the first half of the eighteenth century. This is a story of personal triumph and tragedy, political nuance, and the power of one man’s indomitable will. The Other Side of Morning is an immersive journey into pre-colonial India. In an illuminative blend of history and fiction, Goss transports readers to eighteenth-century Calcutta.
A king will die, another will emerge; two worlds will battle, one will have to start over. As Death converges on the land of Midnight it will draw all the cursed of the dark realm to its side in a final battle along with the black dragon. The elves of Waters Edge will also have to battle the unexpected as the Nel'laf converge on their ancient city. As war ravages both worlds, the prophecy plays out its hand as those whose fate has been drawn and sealed try desperately to return one of their own to his rightful place. All the while, the stone of Dalbhach cannot be conquered nor subdued for one's own purpose lest it take him, which Legna had discovered long ago, and the human king has now discovered, all too late. As the elves struggle to protect their kingdom, they discover their pendants have lost their power; have they also lost their beloved king? Can both elves and men fight along side together after so many years of mistrust? And who will be king when all is said and done?
For fans of Sarah Dessen and Mary H.K. Choi, this lyrical and emotionally driven novel follows Alina, a young aspiring dancer who suffers a devastating injury and must face a world without ballet—as well as the darker side of her former dream. Alina Keeler was destined to dance, but then a terrifying fall shatters her leg—and her dreams of a professional ballet career along with it. After a summer healing (translation: eating vast amounts of Cool Ranch Doritos and binging ballet videos on YouTube), she is forced to trade her pre-professional dance classes for normal high school, where she reluctantly joins the school musical. However, rehearsals offer more than she expected—namely Jude, her annoyingly attractive castmate she just might be falling for. But to move forward, Alina must make peace with her past and face the racism she experienced in the dance industry. She wonders what it means to yearn for ballet—something so beautiful, yet so broken. And as broken as she feels, can she ever open her heart to someone else? Touching, romantic, and peppered with humor, this debut novel explores the tenuousness of perfectionism, the possibilities of change, and the importance of raising your voice.
