An Awkward Inheritance by A. K. Gentry Pdf

Allie Mitchell owns half of the Mitchell Farm. Her uncle, Lee Mitchell, owns the other half. Life is pleasant and predictable for Allie until her uncle dies suddenly. Grief turns to dismay and anger when she finds out that Lee left half of his share of the farm to his wife's nephew, Jacob Stone, who is a complete stranger to Allie. To make matters worse, Jacob is required to live on the farm for one year before he can sell his share to Allie. Awkward does not accurately describe how Jacob and Allie feel about their situation. Also, no one knew Jacob was bringing his six-year-old siblings, Mandy and Michael. Allie and Jacob find themselves in a whirlwind of tensions, misunderstandings, humor, friendship, and the possibility of romance. They must also overcome speculation and gossip in the small town of Whitlow and the interference of others who want to cause disharmony in their already uncomfortable situation.

An Impossible Inheritance by Katie Kilroy-Marac Pdf

Weaving sound historical research with rich ethnographic insight, An Impossible Inheritance tells the story of the emergence, disavowal, and afterlife of a distinctive project in transcultural psychiatry initiated at the Fann Psychiatric Clinic in Dakar, Senegal during the 1960s and 1970s. Today’s clinic remains haunted by its past and Katie Kilroy-Marac brilliantly examines the complex forms of memory work undertaken by its affiliates over a sixty year period. Through stories such as that of the the ghost said to roam the clinic’s halls, the mysterious death of a young doctor sometimes attributed to witchcraft, and the spirit possession ceremonies that may have taken place in Fann’s courtyard, Kilroy-Marac argues that memory work is always an act of the imagination and a moral practice with unexpected temporal, affective, and political dimensions. By exploring how accounts about the Fann Psychiatric Clinic and its past speak to larger narratives of postcolonial and neoliberal transformation, An Impossible Inheritance examines the complex relationship between memory, history, and power within the institution and beyond.

“I couldn't put down Inherit the Bones. Small town Colorado police detective Gemma Monroe is a human and fallible heroine I can't wait to meet again, and Littlejohn's prose is lyrical and gripping—the book is a sure bet for one of the finest debut novels of the year.” —Deborah Crombie Secrets and lies can’t stay buried forever in Cedar Valley. In the summer, hikers and campers pack the small Colorado town’s meadows and fields. And in the winter, skiers and snowboarders take over the mountains. Season by season, year after year, time passes and the lies, like the aspens and evergreens that surround the town, take root and spread deep. Now, someone has uncovered the lies, and it is his murder that continues a chain of events that began almost forty years ago. Detective Gemma Monroe’s investigation takes her from the seedy grounds of a traveling circus to the powerful homes of those who would control Cedar Valley’s future. Six-months pregnant, with a partner she can’t trust and colleagues who know more than they’re saying, Gemma tracks a killer who will stop at nothing to keep those secrets buried. Beautifully written with a riveting plot and a richly drawn cast of characters, Inherit the Bones is a mesmerizing debut from Emily Littlejohn.

This heart-racing two-in-1 by fantasy author Jayde Brooks includes the director’s cut of Daughter of Gods and Shadows, previously published, and the next brand-new novel in the trilogy, City of Dark Creatures! Daughter of Gods and Shadows Eden Reid is not interested in prophesy. The problem is that a doozy of a prophesy is bearing down on her. Such is the case when you're a twenty-five-year-old from Brooklyn, New York who is about to discover she is an ancient god. A truly formidable demon is gunning for her; a zombie-like pandemic is spreading across the country; and there is the mysterious, handsome stranger with powers of his own who claims to have been her lover from a time and a life that Eden cannot remember... City of Dark Creatures Eden had done the impossible—defeated Sakarabru and saved the world from complete annihilation. Yet the demise of the great demon was not enough. With his Brood army still on the loose and a powerful replacement ready to step in, the world is in greater danger than ever before. But not all enemies are outsiders...
