A mysterious outsider torments two Haitian American sisters, forcing them to confront dark secrets from their family's past, in this powerful psychological suspense novel from the acclaimed author of Jackal.

What would you sacrifice to become American?

Everything about the Beauclaire family seems normal--almost perfect, even. They immigrated to New York City from Haiti years ago, looking for their own piece of America's promised riches. They go to church; they're good neighbors; and their two daughters, Judith and Beatrice, have typical sibling rivalries that keep things interesting. But beneath this polished exterior, something is just slightly off. There's malice waiting . . . wanting to reveal itself.

When their mother unexpectedly dies, Judith and Bea are overwhelmed by a mob of relatives, friends, and church ladies. Amidst taking care of the funeral, they meet Libète, who claims to be a close friend of their mother's. Bea welcomes her, but Judith is immediately suspicious--their mother never mentioned Libète, and yet she seems to know everything about them.

After a series of unsettling events--a disfigured doll appearing in their attic, childhood photos of Bea vanishing, and a mysterious illness suddenly afflicting their father--Judith and Bea are forced to dive into a hidden world of mythos and question Libète's role in it all. What they learn could threaten the bedrock of the entire Beauclaire family . . . and reveal a rot that goes deeper than the roots they first made in this place.

A playful yet profound take on the phrase "I contain multitudes"

A little girl admires her nana's wooden nesting dolls that sit side by side on the windowsill. They all look exactly the same: pink cheeks, frilly aprons, and big smiles--except for the tiniest doll, which is small and unpainted and looks like a raw peanut. The girl thinks the matching smiles of all the other dolls don't feel quite right. After all, she has many different faces and feelings inside of her, and the dolls should too!

Starting with the peanut, the girl draws new expressions on all the dolls' faces, from toothy grins to grimaces. But when Nana sees what her granddaughter has done, she's furious and says the dolls are ruined. The girl disagrees. "If those dolls were me," she says, "no two would be alike." When Nana considers what her granddaughter is telling her, she slowly begins to understand. With a hug, and a warning to ask before embarking on any more art projects, Nana proudly returns the dolls to their spot.

This bright, uplifting story about honoring and acknowledging emotions also touches on communication skills, creative self-expression, and conflict resolution. Written with humor and honesty, it reminds readers that, just like nesting dolls, there's more to us than meets the eye.

This is the planner for service members and veterans who are serious about crushing their goals!

After years of journaling about my goals in various planners, I finally decided to create the ultimate planner for myself. I took bits and pieces from the various planners I've used through the years and combined them to create this resource, selfishly.

Yes, that's right...this project started as a way for me to create the ultimate planner for myself. It wasn't until I was halfway done with this project-as I was showing some friends what I was working on, and they all wanted a copy-that I decided to make it available for purchase.

I'm stoked to release this tool to the community! Be sure to use #militarymillionaire to share your success stories along the journey so that we can follow along!

On January 10, 1901, near Beaumont, Texas, an unremarkable knoll of earth the world would soon call Spindletop shot a geyser of oil a hundred feet into the air, confirming the belief of Pattillo Higgins that black gold lay buried there. The Texas oil industry had begun in earnest, and neither Texas nor the world would ever be the same. In the years to come, Texas oil would fuel the nation's automobiles and help to bring victory to the Allies in both world wars, shaping America's destiny throughout the twentieth century. Join author and historian Mike Cox in this photographic visit to the heyday of Texas crude as he recounts the stories of key oil-patch discoveries around the state. Nearly 200 images in vivid black-and-white, with captions and introductions, offer a roughneck-close look at this uniquely American tale of dry holes and gushers, ragtowns and riches, boomtowns, blowouts, and wildcatters gone broke.

There are a lot of great advertising books, but none that get down in the dirt with you quite like this one. Thomas Kemeny made a career at some of the best ad agencies in America. In this book he shows how he got in, how he's stayed in, and how you can do it too. He breaks apart how to write fun, smart, and effective copy-everything from headlines to scripts to experiential activations-giving readers a lesson on a language we all thought we already knew.

This book is not a retrospective from some ad legend. It's a book that should be instantly useful for people starting out. A guide for the first few years at a place you'd actually want to work.

Traditionally, advertising books have been written by people with established careers, big offices and letters like VP in their titles. They have stories from the old days when people could start in the mailroom. They are talented.

That's been done.

Who wants another book filled with seasoned wisdom? This is a book written by somebody still getting his bearings. Someone who has made an extraordinary number of errors in a still short career. Someone who has managed to hang onto his job despite these shortcomings.
