Threads of Change

A Quilting Story (Part 1)

By: Jodi Barrows

Conflict develops in the South, Four granddaughters travel into uncertainty, And Grandfather sells their precious home. In the first book of A Quilting Story series, the four cousins—with the social graces of city folk, charm, and a love for quilting—will face the anguish of life on the frontier in 1856 with every turn along the wagon trail. Raging storms and adversities hit the small band of travelers, and it all seems unrelenting. Relieved to finally arrive at the abandoned military post at Fort Worth, Texas, they begin the hard work of establishing a new home, including the difficult task of building schools and churches while attempting to civilize the community with manners. When trials follow them, they must decide to become true warriors of their hearts, minds, and souls—or fall to the sufferings of prairie life. Join the four women on a passage of friendship, love, and self-discovery as lives are mended around the quilting frame.

A Quilting Story (Part 2)

By: Jodi Barrows

The past threatens to destroy the good days ahead. Liz has overcome the emptiness of her husband’s death, the hardships of the trip west, and even the robbery and murder of her beloved grandfather. Standing at the altar, she feels hope for the first time in many years. Settling into their new home in Fort Worth, Texas, the cousins begin to build a new life, now that grandfather is gone. But their minds are never at rest. Abby initiates the work necessary to start a new school, while Liz works in the mercantile. Emma stands firm as a herd of cattle and cowboys come dangerously close, sparking a new venture for her. She learns that providing the cowboys with food and shelter, for both them and their horses, can bring extra income into the household, but she’ll need the help of the lighthearted Megan. When Liz becomes sick, the whole town is abuzz. As the women gather at the quilting frame, their relationships grow strong—working together while facing the hardships and joys of Texas prairie life. Join the four cousins as they forge a new family amid the unfamiliar ways of those living on the plains, and feel with them the suffering of loss and the joy of true love found.

Crowds and Party

By: Jodi Dean

Crowds and Party channels the energies of the riotous crowds who took to the streets in the past five years into an argument for the political party. Rejecting the emphasis on individuals and multitudes, Jodi Dean argues that we need to rethink the collective subject of politics. When crowds appear in spaces unauthorized by capital and the state-such as in the Occupy movement in New York, London and across the world-they create a gap of possibility. But too many on the Left remain stuck in this beautiful moment of promise-they argue for more of the same, further fragmenting issues and identities, rehearsing the last thirty years of left-wing defeat. In Crowds and Party, Dean argues that previous discussions of the party have missed its affective dimensions, the way it operates as a knot of unconscious processes and binds people together. Dean shows how we can see the party as an organization that can reinvigorate political practice.

A Catalogue of Catastrophe

By: Jodi Taylor

Jodi Taylor is quite simply the Queen of Time. Her books are a swashbuckling joyride through History' C. K. MCDONNELL BOOK 13 IN THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING CHRONICLES OF ST MARY'S SERIES For fans of Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series, Jasper Fforde and Doctor Who. --- Finally - finally! - Max has that nice office job she's always wanted. The one with no heavy lifting and no one tries to kill her. Well, one out of two's not bad... Punching well above their weight, Max and Markham set out to bring down a sinister organisation founded in the future - with a suspicious focus on the past. Max's focus is staying alive long enough to reunite with Leon and Matthew, alternately helped and hindered by St Mary's. Who aren't always the blessing they like to think they are. But non-stop leaping around the timeline - from witnessing Magna Carta to disturbing a certain young man with a penchant for gunpowder - is beginning to take its toll. Is Max going mad? Or are the ghosts of the past finally catching up with her? What people are saying about Jodi Taylor: 'Once in a while, I discover an author who changes everything... Jodi Taylor and her protagonista Madeleine "Max" Maxwell have seduced me' 'This amazing series is anything but formulaic. Just when you think you've got to grips with everything, out comes the rug from under your feet' 'Addictive. I wish St Mary's was real and I was a part of it' 'St Mary's stories are the much-anticipated highlight of my year' 'Jodi Taylor has an imagination that gets me completely hooked' 'A tour de force

Roman Holiday

By: Jodi Taylor

A Chronicles of St Mary's short story that is sure to entertain. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor. Question: What sort of idiot installs his mistress in his wife's house? Especially when that mistress is Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator, Queen of Egypt and the most notorious woman of her time? Answer: Julius Caesar - poised to become King of Rome. Or as good as. Question: At this potentially sensitive point in your political manoeuvrings, who are the last people you'd want crashing through the door, observing, recording, documenting ...? I think we all know the answer to that one. Roman Holiday - an epic, stand alone tale set in Ancient Rome, 44 BC, featuring, in no particular order: an attempted murder, stampeding bullocks, Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile, a bowl of poisonous snakes, a smallish riot, Julius Caesar and Mr Markham's wayward bosoms. Readers love Jodi Taylor: 'Once in a while, I discover an author who changes everything... Jodi Taylor and her protagonista Madeleine "Max" Maxwell have seduced me' 'A great mix of British proper-ness and humour with a large dollop of historical fun' 'Addictive.

The Jodi Picoult Collection #2

Perfect Match, Second Glance, and My Sister's Keeper

By: Jodi Picoult

Three of bestselling author Jodi Picoult's compelling novels together in this ebook collection! Perfect Match In the course of her everyday work, career-driven assistant district attorney Nina Frost prosecutes child molesters and works determinedly to ensure that a legal system with too many loopholes keeps these criminals behind bars. But when her own five-year-old son, Nathaniel, is traumatized by a sexual assault, Nina and her husband, Caleb, a quiet and methodical stone mason, are shattered, ripped apart by an enraging sense of helplessness in the face of a futile justice system that Nina knows all too well. In a heartbeat, Nina's absolute truths and convictions are turned upside down, and she hurtles toward a plan to exact her own justice for her son—no matter the consequence, whatever the sacrifice. Second Glance Second Glance, an eerie and engrossing work, delves into a virtually unknown chapter of American history—Vermont's eugenics project of the 1920s and 30s—to provide a compelling study of the things that come back to haunt us—literally and figuratively. Do we love across time, or in spite of it? My Sister's Keeper My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you? Once again, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.
