Sometimes coming home for the holidays isn’t as easy as it seems…. It’s December 21, and the Yancey sisters have been called home. When the girls were young, holidays at their family farm meant a tinsel-garnished tree, the scent of simmering food, and laughter ringing through the house. But as the years unfolded, family bonds fractured, and the three sisters scattered and settled into separate lives. Until now. The Yancey sisters are coming to spend the holidays with their mother. They’re also coming to bury their father. Claire, the youngest, a free spirit who journeyed to California, returns first. Then comes Julia, the eldest, a college professor with a teenage son of her own. And finally there’s Maya, the middle child, who works so hard to be the perfect mother and wife. During the sisters’ week together, old conflicts surface, new secrets emerge, and the limits and definitions of family are tested. And as the longest night of the year slips by and brightening days beckon, the sisters will have to answer one question: When you’re a sister, aren’t you a sister forever? CONVERSATION GUIDE INCLUDED

Magnus is a deeply moving and enigmatic novel about the Holocaust. It has been Sylvie Germain's most commercially successful novel in France. Magnus is a man searching for his own identity, who pieces together the complex puzzle of his life, which turns out to be closer to a painting by Edward Munch than the romantic tale of family heroism and self-sacrifice on which he was nurtured by the woman he believed was his mother. In Magnus, Sylvie Germain uses imagination and intuition to unlock the enigma of human life and confer on history the power of myth and fable. Magnus won the Goncourt Lyceen Prize, selected by French High School Students as the best novel of the year from the main Goncourt Prize Shortlist. It is a short and profound novel suitable for 16-year-olds upwards and is a good starting point for exploration of the Holocaust.

It will reveal how her belief in the betterment of her community and love for her culture left her struggling to survive through a felonious alleged embezzlement charge which left her determine to put the fragments of her life back together again. Buckner's desire for penning this book is to ensure that the world never forgets the mayhem committed within our own communities by people who claimed their undying love for us. Buckner is force to cling to the most powerful vestige of her childhood--the wisdom she had been endowed with by her father and her southern community. She was raised by a compassionate father who instilled greatness in her life by examples of his own broken struggles of growing up in the Deep South during slavery. Someone once said, 'home isn't just a place where you live... it's a state of the heart'... However, growing up in the Deep South meant so much more for Buckner. Lake Providence may have held a very small place on the map, but it held a bigger place in her heart and soul – something that she have connected to her entire life. Her community believed in hard work and integrity – most of all having the courage not to give up – not to quit. She was encouraged by her community to pursue an education during a time when no one cared enough to see that black youths had a professional career. On Buckner's fifteenth birthday, her father arranged for her to fly to Las Vegas to visit her mom for the first time in eight years. Later that same year, her father roused with a vision to start a general contractors and plumbing business, despite the fact that he couldn't read or write nor could he add or subtract. Recognizing his limitations, he never minimized the importance of education. Her father instilled in her the value of education and that the mind was too valuable to waste by introducing her to the business world at an early age. He inspired her to see that the greatest equalizer is indoctrinating one's mind with wisdom and knowledge, recognizing that ignorance is the only bridge that separates us. He taught her to set realistic goals, and then work harder than anyone else to experience success as a result of her hard work. He asked her to teach him how to read and write. This moment she would cherish for a lifetime. Buckner was elated to see her father signing his checks - and reading his first book, even though it was on a first-grade level, at the age of 50. Buckner had kept a diary since she was eight years old, and eventually acquired a passion for writing. It provided a natural outlet to help her find that perfect peace in the things that she could not understand nor change. She felt somehow God was preparing her for an unknown journey. Buckner and her family went through five of the most implausible years of their life, orphaned penniless and nearly homeless. Buckner unwavering perseverance forced a victorious triumph in her matter of the heart that was swept up in the chaos of deception, lies and cruel intentions. For over five years, the Institution and CPA Firm attempted to strip her of every shred of her dignity, character and integrity. In a climate of systematic abuse where ignorance is power and justification for wrongdoing, Buckner fights for her improbable survival. Buckner's story will give you hope, and it will confirm the power of faith. Her story will take you through many levels of brokenness – gleaning from her journey will lift you up and help you not only survive but transcend suffering, injustice, and loss. Displaying her extraordinary strength and endurance, Living Beyond Nightfall is a brilliant display of individual resilience.
