Описание: A teenage girl has the power to create ice out of thin air. An icy warning from the end of the age, as spoken by Cynthia Auburn, mother of seventeen year old Miranda Auburn, a girl born with a unique and powerful ability to form ice and snow from the air around her. This bizarre, oftentimes disturbing reality is the voice of a mother held prisoner by the impossible, and the fearful truth of her daughter's apocalyptic talent and skill. In the working class suburb of Richland Hills, Virginia, Cynthia discovers that her daughter is literally a freak of nature, learning that her old fears about Miranda have finally come to pass. Their end-of-the-world story is a two fold revelation: first, of the modern Mother Daughter Dynamic uncovered, and the exploration of apocalyptic evil in the heart of latter day womanhood. And second, of what happens when that evil touches the soul of a real life ice queen with rage and vengeance, at the twilight of human history, on the eve of eschatology.

Описание: Two female vampires crave the blood of innocent young girls and women. A deeply disturbing glimpse at the darkest side of humanity, as told through the lives of Iris and Anya Greenwood, two women who live as a prosperous suburban married couple. Iris is the portrait of a woman tortured by dark instinct, held prisoner by a private lust and craving for the unspeakable. Hidden in a wealthy suburb of Richmond, Virginia, Iris and Anya have accepted the fullness of who they are, and the terrifying acts they must perform in secret to survive. Burdened by generations of darkness and hidden depravity, Iris uncovers the depths of human evil exposed, and the reality of a natural, apocalyptic bloodlust passed down from mother to daughter. The Greenwood revelation is the truth of human hypocrisy unmasked, and the deadly corruption that often lurks unseen behind the walls of privilege, and behind the smiling faces of cultured civility.

Описание: An abused woman is the greatest composer who ever lived. The twelfth and final book of prose and poetry from the mind of a woman named Carmen Angelina Coletti, a prodigy who was taken out of school when she was twelve years old and isolated from the world. Her simple, honest voice remains the picture of a young and reclusive country wife. Abused since early childhood, her music is her refuge, with a gift for composition so complete that she is likely the world's first female great composer, some believing her to be the most gifted composer of all time. Conceived and written for her own private journals, these verses are the soul of a poet and musical genius, as if arisen from another place along the timeline--from the heart of an abused woman of faith who was raised in isolation, by a mother driven to madness by grief.

Описание: This Atlantic world history centers on the life of Juan Nepomuceno Prieto (c. 1773–c. 1835), a member of the West African Yoruba people enslaved and taken to Havana during the era of the Atlantic slave trade. Richly situating Prieto's story within the context of colonial Cuba, Henry B. Lovejoy illuminates the vast process by which thousands of Yoruba speakers were forced into life-and-death struggles in a strange land. In Havana, Prieto, and most of the people of the Yoruba diaspora, were identified by the colonial authorities as Lucumi. Prieto's evolving identity becomes the fascinating fulcrum of the book. Drafted as an enslaved soldier for Spain, Prieto achieved self-manumission while still in the military. Rising steadily in his dangerous new world, he became the religious leader of Havana's most famous Lucumi cabildo, where he contributed to the development of the Afro-Cuban religion of Santeria. Then, he was arrested on suspicion of fomenting slave rebellion. Trial testimony shows that he fell ill, but his ultimate fate is unknown. Despite the silences and contradictions that will never be fully resolved, Prieto's life opens a window onto how Africans creatively developed multiple forms of identity and resistance in Cuba and in the Atlantic world more broadly.
