Dominican Republic Adventure Guide

By: Fe Liza Bencosme,Clark Norton

When Columbus first set foot in the New World, he spied the North Coast of what we call the Dominican Republic and called it "the most beautiful land on earth." Today you might just say the same thing. Spectacular beaches stretch for miles around the country's shores - head for a white sand playa one day, then change to a craggy cove good for beach combing the next. If you're into windsurfing or kitesurfing, the newest craze, Playa Caberete is one of the top destinations in the world.

Code Girls

The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II

By: Liza Mundy

The award-winning New York Times bestseller about the American women who secretly served as codebreakers during World War II--a "prodigiously researched and engrossing" (New York Times) book that "shines a light on a hidden chapter of American history" (Denver Post). Recruited by the U.S. Army and Navy from small towns and elite colleges, more than ten thousand women served as codebreakers during World War II. While their brothers and boyfriends took up arms, these women moved to Washington and learned the meticulous work of code-breaking. Their efforts shortened the war, saved countless lives, and gave them access to careers previously denied to them. A strict vow of secrecy nearly erased their efforts from history; now, through dazzling research and interviews with surviving code girls, bestselling author Liza Mundy brings to life this riveting and vital story of American courage, service, and scientific accomplishment.

Bleeding Heart

By: Liza Gyllenhaal

Liza Gyllenhaal has charmed readers with her “gripping and deeply perceptive” (Ben Sherwood, Author of Charlie St. Cloud) novels. Now the author of A Place for Us brings us a captivating new story about a woman’s struggle to rebuild her life after scandal destroys her marriage.... After her accountant husband disappears with millions of dollars stolen from his company’s clients, Alice Hyatt flees New York City and moves to her family’s longtime summer home in a small town in western Massachusetts. There she begins to make a new start, reconnecting with old friends and finding peace—and a growing sense of pride—as a landscape architect. When extremely wealthy newcomer Graham Mackenzie asks her to design an elaborate garden for him, she can’t turn down the opportunity despite misgivings about Mackenzie’s energy company, which specializes in the controversial practice of fracking. But just as the project nears completion, she learns Mackenzie’s offer is not all that it seems. Once again, Alice finds herself embroiled in someone else’s crimes, this time putting her newfound success—and possibly her life—in jeopardy.... CONVERSATION GUIDE INCLUDED

Under My Skin

Under My Skin

By: Liza Hyatt

The poems in Under My Skin speak of mothering, marriage, sex, divorce, old city-streets, grocery lines, new mattresses, and backyard gardens. Through these interactions, the conflict-filled tension between a woman’s need to love others and tend her inner life is expressed. And while the relationships, people, and places within the poems are complex yet ordinary, the primary relationship explored within these poems is a woman’s relationship to her own persistent and unremitting longing. She must hear, acknowledge and answer this longing – not in order to silence or subdue it – but to learn to become at home within it.

Seeing As Your Shoes Are Soon to be on Fire

Essays

By: Liza Monroy

Liza Monroy’s new book is collection of deeply personal essays that tackle the universal themes of romantic and familial love, fate and chance, all told in a humorous and intelligent manner that keeps the reader yearning for more. Created in the wake of Liza's popular essays– including her piece for the Modern Love column in the New York Times — Seeing As Your Shoes Are Soon To Be On Fire chronicles Liza's many misadventures in her quest for love. These misadventures span a variety of countries and a variety of men, all bound together under the watchful eye of her eccentric, single mother, a profiler for the U.S. State Department, who is soon using her professional aptitude to weed out the men in her daughter’s path. Filled with quirky details and archetypal characters from our everyday lives, with stories that are both wildly hilarious and deeply heartfelt, Seeing As Your Shoes Are Soon To Be On Fire is both a vulnerably open testament to Liza's personal experiences and an intriguing work that confronts the odds of finding love and intimacy in the increasingly depersonalized world of technology.

The Mother Poems: A Memoir: The Warrior Queen Novelist and Her Poet Daughter

By: Liza Hyatt

In an age when personal poetry struggles to be heard over the noise of its narcissistic imposters, Liza Hyatt's voice cuts through clean and clear at a frequency that delights the listener with discovery. These poems, each a step in her endless journey under a 50-pound backpack of rattling love, are the priceless property of the writer and her late, difficult, captivating mother. Yet they demonstrate once again the power of Hyatt's mind and music to extend intimacy to all of us. -Dan Carpenter, editorial page columnist, poet, author of More Than I Could See and Hard Pieces: Dan Carpenter's Indiana Liza Hyatt is lucky to have learned from her mother the word "memory" and the sweet fruit of pear at an early age. Her mother taught her the "imagination is essential, healing and ancient," and that is exactly what Hyatt does for us as we voyage in her boat with white sails to her world of childhood, vivid with bright and dark gems, fed by a strong mother love, nurturing her (as the pear) and sometimes not. Hyatt reveals to us how she accepts their relationship and moves forward, as we all must do to be fully on our own. This brave and honest collection urges us toward compassion for that wild and varied dance of all children and their mothers. -Bonnie Maurer, MFA, author of The Reconfigured Goddess: Poems of a Breast Cancer Survivor and Reconfigured

Surveillance State

Inside China's Quest to Launch a New Era of Social Control

By: Josh Chin,Liza Lin

Where is the line between digital utopia and digital police state? Surveillance State tells the gripping, startling, and detailed story of how China’s Communist Party is building a new kind of political control: shaping the will of the people through the sophisticated—and often brutal—harnessing of data. It is a story born in Silicon Valley and America’s “War on Terror,” and now playing out in alarming ways on China’s remote Central Asian frontier. As ethnic minorities in a border region strain against Party control, China’s leaders have built a dystopian police state that keeps millions under the constant gaze of security forces armed with AI. But across the country in the city of Hangzhou, the government is weaving a digital utopia, where technology helps optimize everything from traffic patterns to food safety to emergency response. Award-winning journalists Josh Chin and Liza Lin take readers on a journey through the new world China is building within its borders, and beyond. Telling harrowing stories of the people and families affected by the Party’s ambitions, Surveillance State reveals a future that is already underway—a new society engineered around the power of digital surveillance.

A Place For Us

By: Liza Gyllenhaal

Liza Gyllenhaal is “a gifted new writer”* who’s captivated readers with her talent for “plumb[ing] the complexity of human emotions.”** Now she delivers a piercing new novel about the secrets and lies that could shatter a close-knit family… Brook Bostock has led a privileged life. The daughter of an extremely wealthy and prominent family, she married the man of her dreams and is raising two deeply loved children. But her happy home is shattered when a neighborhood teenager is assaulted during a night of drinking with the Bostocks' son and his prep school friends. The scandal receives national attention—not only because of Brook’s family name, but because of the lawsuit looming against Brook and her husband, Michael, that alleges they are responsible for what went on in their house. Suddenly the small Massachusetts town they call home seems to be turning against them, revealing the simmering jealousies and resentments that have been lurking under the surface all along. With their once-perfect family in danger of falling apart, Brook and Michael must find a way to get through this together—or risk losing everything they love… *Ben Sherwood, author of Charlie St. Cloud **Katherine Davis, author of A Slender Thread

Cuban Flavor

Exploring the Island's Unique Places, People, and Cuisine

By: Liza Gershman

A lush journey through Cuba, its paladars, and its flavorful cuisine For Cubans, food is a complex story—a tapestry of love and loss woven so deeply into their culture that it goes well beyond that of history or sustenance. Gershman, who’s love affair with Cuba began long before her first visit, takes you along on a photojournalistic journey through the streets of Cuba and its paladares through her stunning photographs of the country’s glorious sights, the lively people, and, of course, the amazing variety of food. Much more than a cookbook, Cuban Flavor is an introduction to a revolutionary era of Cuban cuisine: a new frontier. Growth and transition foster the seed of invention and innovation, and these shifts often begin with food. From the succulent spiced meat of the national Ropa Viejo, simmered in a tomato-based criollo sauce, to the sweet and sticky Arroz Con Leche or the local favorite, Flan served in a soda can, Cuban cuisine has something for every palate. Pair these delights with a warm, sultry night, an old convertible, and a jazz band, and sit back as you fall deeply in love again . . . or for the very first time. This visually arresting volume features more than fifty Cuban recipes, from appetizers to main courses and drinks to desserts. Along with color photographs of the dishes, you’ll also get to meet the people who create them. This remarkable volume offers a taste of the little-known culture to a public that has long been deprived of its intoxicating flavors.
