LUCY GAMBLE, KNOCKED UP BY DYING MAN SHE GAVE SYMPATHY SEX, NOW MOVING ON TO HIS BIG BROTHER. Have you ever tried to come up with a headline for your life? Well, mine’s so cringeworthy I can’t believe it’s actually my story...or a hundred percent true. But honestly, how could I say no to the one-night-stand when he begged? Only a monster could deny someone their dying wish, right? I mean, okay, getting pregnant from the encounter was a regrettable, irresponsible mistake; I can fully admit that. Turning to his brother, however, was never part of the plan. Initially, I didn’t even like the guy. Except Vaughn Merrill is a force to be reckoned with. He’s determined to be an “involved” uncle, and no matter how much I tell him he doesn’t have to be so helpful, he’s just so freaking helpful. And gorgeous. Plus not at all the ass I assumed he was. Then there’s this massive pain and grief and loneliness I see in his eyes. I just want to hug him constantly and give him the sense of family he so desperately needs. So really, can you blame me for falling for the one man I know I shouldn’t?
Modern Families
A personal, intimate account of the extraordinary ways that today’s families are being created. From adoption and assisted reproduction, to gay and straight parents, coupled and single, and multi-parent families, the stories in Modern Families explain how individuals make unconventional families by accessing a broad range of technological, medical and legal choices that expand our definitions of parenting and kinship. Joshua Gamson introduces us to a child with two mothers, made with one mother’s egg and the sperm of a man none of them has ever met; another born in Ethiopia, delivered by his natural grandmother to an orphanage after both his parents died in close succession, and then to the arms of his mother, who is raising him solo. These tales are deeply personal and political. The process of forming these families involved jumping tremendous hurdles—social conventions, legal and medical institutions—with heightened intention and inventiveness, within and across multiple inequities and privileges. Yet each of these families, however they came to be, shares the same universal joys that all families share. A companion for all those who choose to navigate the world of modern kinship, Modern Families provides a “fascinating look at the remarkable range of experiences that is broadening the very idea of family” (Booklist).
Houses of the Holy
Houses of the Holy is a riveting true story of survival, perseverance, and a fight for justice that cuts to the heart of corruption. In this deeply unsettling exposé , Mark Harris pulls back the curtain on a powerful nexus where the federal government, state officials, far-right extremists, religious leaders, the mob, and the secretive world of Freemasonry converge in unholy alliances. This unprecedented journey reveals the depths of influence wielded by money and religion over politics and law enforcement, exposing the legacy of hate and corruption entwined within. Harris introduces a cast of larger-than-life characters, each as bizarre as they are terrifying: a convicted criminal with immunity from the law, a mobster's son linked to crime boss Santo Trafficante Jr., George W. Bush's former attorney, a doctor who handpicked the first astronauts, and a lineup of religious figures willing to overlook any sin to shield a monster. Alongside former Governor Rick Scott and future Acting U.S. Attorney Generals, these figures build a twisted tapestry that Harris courageously unravels, shedding light on the shocking, hidden power plays that sustain their authority.
