An unforgettable Christmas / by Baird, Ginny.(CARDINAL)788725;

"Angie Lopez, a widowed mom, works hard at Singleton's Jewelers. Sam Singleton, her often-irritating boss, hardly does anything besides work. He doesn't spend time with friends and family, even around the holidays. That's why Angie's the one who winds up taking care of him when a head injury leaves him with amnesia. As Sam attempts to remember who he is, he learns about the luxurious but empty life he leads... and he's not impressed. Meanwhile, Angie sees a new side of him as he shares Christmas traditions with her, her son Pepe, and her extended family. Angie shares touching, emotional moments with Sam. But if he gets his memories back, what will happen to her heart?" --

The meaning of life : the case for abolishing life sentences / by Mauer, Marc,author.(CARDINAL)512635; Nellis, Ashley,author.(CARDINAL)559908; Myers, Kerry,author.(CARDINAL)783662;

Includes bibliographical references.Marc Mauer and Ashley Nellis of The Sentencing Project argue that there is no practical or moral justification for a sentence longer than twenty years. Harsher sentences have been shown to have little effect on crime rates, since people "age out" of crime--meaning that we're spending a fortune on geriatric care for older prisoners who pose little threat to public safety. Extreme punishment for serious crime also has an inflationary effect on sentences across the spectrum, helping to account for severe mandatory minimums and other harsh punishments. Also features profiles of a half dozen people affected by life sentences, written by former "lifer" and writer Kerry Myers.--

Crush : writers reflect on love, longing, and the lasting power of their first celebrity crush / by Alter, Cathy,editor.(CARDINAL)462721; Singleton, Dave,1961-editor.(CARDINAL)462310;

A star-studded collection of essays from acclaimed and bestselling authors and celebrities that illuminates the lasting power of desire and longing, and celebrates our initiation into the euphoria, pain, and mystery that is our first celebrity crush. A few channeled their devotion into obsessively writing embarrassing fan letters. Some taped pics in school lockers. Others decorated their bedroom walls with posters. Here are funny, whimsical, sometimes cringe-worthy tales of falling head over heels for River Phoenix, Mary Tyler Moore, Howard Cosell, Jared Leto, and a host of other pop culture icons.

We all know someone, or maybe we are that someone, who has been affected by cancer.Close Up: Poems on Cancer, Grief, Hope and Healing is a new collection of poetry that recognizes the depth of human spirit in the face of some of life's greatest hardships. This sequence of poetry features voices of those who have experienced, or who are currently experiencing, cancer. Alongside these are contributions from carers, friends and family, health professionals, and those who offer their support from afar. Many of these poems are personal reflections of cancer and its unrelenting challenges, while others instead offer intimate views on illness, loss, life and love. At its most heart-breaking, this collection features words written in memory of those no longer with us. This anthology serves as a medium for exploring the complexities of grief, while also celebrating life and survival - and ultimately bringing together a chorus of voices joined in support and understanding. Proceeds from sales of this book will be directed towards charities in aid of cancer research and support.

Slavery and the making of America / by Horton, James Oliver.(CARDINAL)272321; Horton, Lois E.(CARDINAL)272322;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 246-248) and indexThe African roots of Colonial America -- Slavery: from the revolution to the cotton kingdom -- Westward expansion, antislavery, and resistance -- Troublesome property: the many forms of slave resistance -- A hard-won freedom: from Civil War contraband to emancipation -- Creating freedom during and after the warThe history of slavery is central to understanding the history of the United States. Slavery and the Making of America offers a richly illustrated, vividly written history that illuminates the human side of this inhumane institution, presenting it largely through stories of the slaves themselves. Readers will discover a wide ranging and sharply nuanced look at American slavery, from the first Africans brought to British colonies in the early seventeenth century to the end of Reconstruction. The authors document the horrors of slavery, particularly in the deep South, and describe the valiant struggles to escape bondage, from dramatic tales of slaves such as William and Ellen Craft to Dred Scott's doomed attempt to win his freedom through the Supreme Court. We see how slavery set our nation on the road of violence, from bloody riots that broke out in American cities over fugitive slaves, to the cataclysm of the Civil War. Along the way, readers meet such individuals as "Black Sam" Fraunces, a West Indian mulatto who owned the Queen's Head Tavern in New York City, a key meeting place for revolutionaries in the 1760s and 1770s. Indeed, the book is filled with stories of remarkable African Americans, from Sergeant William H. Carney, who won the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery at the crucial assault on Fort Wagner during the Civil War, to Benjamin "Pap" Singleton, a former slave who led freed African Americans to a new life on the American frontier. With more than one hundred illustrations, Slavery and the Making of America is a gripping account of the struggles of African Americans against the iniquity of slaveryAccelerated Reader AR
