Storm's revenge / by Stone, Mary,author.; Wilson, Amy,author.;

Seven months ago, one of the FBI's own went missing without a trace. The forensic analyst was smart and beautiful, and she had been dating Joseph Larson...the same man who'd been working with the Chicago PD to investigate the young woman's missing persons case. The same man who'd just been forced to resign from the Bureau. Something's terribly wrong, FBI Special Agent Amelia Storm knows it in her gut. But knowing and proving are two very different things. When Special Agent Journey Russo blows into the office implicating Larson in her sister's disappearance, Amelia is even more certain that the disgraced ex-agent is involved. The question is how. As Amelia and her partner investigate, she and Zane quickly realize that Larson has woven a twisted web of deceit that encompasses mafia influence and political sway. Worse, the truth behind the analyst's disappearance is darker than anything they could have imagined. Amelia is determined to find the young woman and ensure Joseph Larson gets what he deserves-a miserable life in an eight-by-ten cell. But Larson is just as determined to see Amelia dead.

Journey's call / by Stone, Mary,1968-author.(CARDINAL)839301; Wilson, Amy,author.(CARDINAL)500658;

"When fate calls, death could be dialing. Journey Russo is no stranger to the harsh shadows cast by secrets. The fire that claimed her family when she was just thirteen years old left her life scorched by mystery and loss. Raised by her grandparents amidst the embers of her past, Journey transformed her trauma into resolve, forging a path as an FBI special agent. But beneath her determined facade lies a lingering fear of fire and the unhealed scars of betrayal. In a world of hidden flames, truth is her only weapon. As she steps onto the crime scene at Pittsburg gun store, Journey confronts not just a perplexing case, but the echoes of a past that refuse to be silenced. The victims, from different walks of life, share disturbingly similar fatal wounds--a bullet to the stomach and a brutal head injury. With only a dead body, missing guns, and no clear suspects, Journey is propelled into a mystery that tests her skills. Though she loves nothing more than solving a good puzzle, the investigation takes a startling twist when she discovers a link between the case and a brutal cult that haunts her dreams. And as more victims emerge, Journey's past and present collide, forcing her to confront the demons she thought she'd left behind. Before the body count rises. Journey's Call is book one of the adrenaline-charged new Journey Russo series by bestselling author Mary Stone, where secrets have lethal consequences, and the pursuit of truth is as dangerous as the secrets themselves"--

Best, first, and last [large print] / by Matthews, Amy T.,author(CARDINAL)866744;

"Three generations of women set out to heal their broken hearts on a grand adventure of hiking the Incan Trail to Machu Picchu in this stirring, spirited, and ultimately joyful journey of love and self discovery for fans of Rebecca Serle and Josie Silver... When twenty-five-year-old Heather Russo breaks up with her boyfriend--again--she can't figure out if she's to blame or he is. Either way, she's miserable, and working at home via Zoom meetings is only making it worse. What's more, all the women in her family are struggling. Mom Sandy is convinced she's wasted her life and is nursing a giant grudge against Heather's father, whom she's now divorcing. Grandmother Bonnie is reeling with the grief of losing her third husband, and is carrying his urn everywhere she goes, even the supermarket. The bottom has fallen out of their lives so abruptly, the trio is clinging to any handhold they can--and slowly but surely losing their grip... Inspired by a friend's adventurous grandson, and determined not to spend her 70th birthday wallowing, Bonnie is ready to take extreme measures. Even if it means dragging her beloved girls along by the hair, they're going to hike the Incan Trail to Machu Picchu! Of course, their emotional baggage gets packed with their lightweight jackets, but as they make the trek, the women also talk, sharing stories and secrets that have been festering for far too long. With every arduous step toward the famed summit, each woman sheds some of the past and its pain, and opens up to the extraordinary possibilities of the present--and a future that just might include a new happily ever after"--

Includes bibliographical references and index."As part of the profession's ongoing EDISJ efforts to redress librarianship's problematic past, practitioners from across the field are questioning long-held library authorities and standards.

From this book, readers will gain an understanding of the theoretical underpinning for the actions that create our history and be challenged to reconsider their perspectives; learn about the important role of the library catalog in real-world EDISJ initiatives through examples ranging from accessibility metadata and gendered information to inclusive comics cataloging and revising LC call numbers for Black people and Indigenous people; discover more than a dozen case studies drawn from a variety of contexts including archives, academic and public libraries, and research institutions; and see ways to incorporate these ideas into their own work, with a variety of sample policies, 'how to' documents, and other helpful tools provided in the text"--"This volume seeks to record the efforts of many librarians who worked to improve our systems and collections as well as inspire those who have yet to enact change that this work is scalable, possible, and necessary"--

'A writer, ' Nobel Prize winner Saul Bellow once said, 'is a reader who is moved to emulation.' That idea inspired New York Times bestselling novelist and memoirist Andre Dubus III to invite fifty acclaimed authors to write about the precise alchemy of emulation, about short stories that altered their view of life and their place in it-short stories that, ultimately, made them want to write something substantial themselves. Reaching Inside is the far-ranging end result of that invitation. For practitioners of the personal essay and other forms of creative nonfiction, this anthology is fifty examples of how to write about the "I" as well as the 'eye.' For teachers of creative writing, it is fifty inspiring songs of praise for the kind of writing that aspires to art. For professors of literature, it is fifty models for how to think and write critically. And for readers, Reaching Inside is simply a moving and inspiring anthology of masterful essays that reach inside us and, as Tolstoy wrote, 'transfer feeling from one person's heart to another person's heart.' Reaching Inside will remind you why you fell in love with reading"--
