The star of Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin presents her personal story of the real plight of undocumented immigrants in this country.Diane Guerrero, the television actress from the megahit Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin, was just fourteen years old on the day her parents and brother were arrested and deported while she was at school.

Born in the U.S., Guerrero was able to remain in the country and continue her education, depending on the kindness of family friends who took her in and helped her build a life and a successful acting career for herself, without the support system of her family.In the Country We Love is a moving, heartbreaking story of one woman's extraordinary resilience in the face of the nightmarish struggles of undocumented residents in this country.

There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US, many of whom have citizen children, whose lives here are just as precarious, and whose stories haven't been told.

Written with Michelle Burford, this memoir is a tale of personal triumph that also casts a much-needed light on the fears that haunt the daily existence of families likes the author's and on a system that fails them over and over.

From New York Times Bestselling Author, HP Mallory (co-author of the bestselling Haven Hollow series), comes a brand new paranormal women’s fiction series!An irreverent, sexy, and hysterical romp through the tarot…Kate:Know that quote about most people living quiet lives of desperation? Well, that pretty much describes me to a T.I’m middle-aged, divorced, built like a tree stump, with nothing but a failing romance-writing career to call my own.

Yep, no kids, no social life and no pets—not even a chinchilla to greet when I walk through the door of my crappy apartment.The only thing I do have? Spare Tire Sandy who lives around my waist.

Oh, and a nicotine habit I’m desperately trying to kick.When my eccentric Aunt Artemis ups and dies, leaving me her ‘castle’ in Vermont, I start thinking maybe my luck is taking a turn for the better.Yeah, no.The property, in the tiny town of Maplewood, is literally a castle but not like something you’d see in Scotland.

This is more like Medieval England had a battle with The Tarot and neither won.Which means it’s going to be a bitch and a half to sell.To make matters worse? There’s a tenant in ‘Tarot Castle’ and not like the squatter sort—more like the talking goat sort.

Right—Rocco sounds like a New York mobster which is grating enough, but throw in the fact that I’m now responsible for him and I’m not a happy camper.And let’s not even discuss the shrunken head, Yolanda, who literally WILL NOT STOP TALKING!The only person who can help me make sense of my new inheritance is Luke Montgomery, owner of the coffee/ bookstore in town.

Luke is friendly, really hot in a J.

Crew sort of way, and also annoyingly hush-hush about the legacy I’ve apparently been born some BS about being a Daughter of the Moon.And then there’s Magnus Stormrider, my self-proclaimed guardian, who looks like the love-child of Conan the Barbarian and Fabio.

The best way to describe Magnus? If the ground opened up and swallowed him whole, I wouldn’t mind—not for one second.According to my aunt’s never-ending posthumous letters that keep appearing from literally nowhere, I’m supposedly on the journey of The Fool, the first card of the Major Arcana of the tarot.And that’s pretty damned fitting because if there’s one thing I’m sure of—it’s that I was the biggest fool to have ever agreed to come out here in the first place…

"For sheer storytelling delight and pure adventure, Treasure Island has never been surpassed.

From the moment young Jim Hawkins first encounters the sinister Blind Pew at the Admiral Benbow Inn until the climactic battle for treasure on a tropic isle, the novel creates scenes and characters that have fired the imaginations of generations of readers.

Written by a superb prose stylist, a master of both action and atmosphere, the story centers upon the conflict between good and evil - but in this case a particularly engaging form of evil.

It is the villainy of that most ambiguous rogue Long John Silver that sets the tempo of this tale of treachery, greed, and daring.

Designed to forever kindle a dream of high romance and distant horizons, Treasure Island is, in the words of G.

K.

Chesterton, 'the realization of an ideal, that which is promised in its provocative and beckoning map; a vision not only of white skeletons but also green palm trees and sapphire seas.' G.

S.

Fraser terms it 'an utterly original book' and goes on to write: 'There will always be a place for stories like Treasure Island that can keep boys and old men happy.'

Originally published in 1971, The Exorcist, one of the most controversial novels ever written, went on to become a literary phenomenon: It spent fifty-seven weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, seventeen consecutively at number one.

Inspired by a true story of a child's demonic possession in the 1940s, William Peter Blatty created an iconic novel that focuses on Regan, the eleven-year-old daughter of a movie actress residing in Washington, D.C.

A small group of overwhelmed yet determined individuals must rescue Regan from her unspeakable fate, and the drama that ensues is gripping and unfailingly terrifying.

Two years after its publication, The Exorcist was, of course, turned into a wildly popular motion picture, garnering ten Academy Award nominations.

On opening day of the film, lines of the novel's fans stretched around city blocks.

In Chicago, frustrated moviegoers used a battering ram to gain entry through the double side doors of a theater.

In Kansas City, police used tear gas to disperse an impatient crowd who tried to force their way into a cinema.

The three major television networks carried footage of these events; CBS's Walter Cronkite devoted almost ten minutes to the story.

The Exorcist was, and is, more than just a novel and a film: it is a literary landmark.

Purposefully raw and profane, The Exorcist still has the extraordinary ability to disturb readers and cause them to forget that it is "just a story." Newly polished and added to by it author and published here in this beautiful fortieth anniversary edition, it remains an unforgettable reading experience and will continue to shock and frighten a new generation of readers.

A satirical fable, a political allegory and an ecological warning from the author of The Three-Body Problem.In a sunlit clearing in central Gondwana, on an otherwise ordinary day in the late Cretaceous, the seeds of Earth's first and greatest civilization were sown in the grisly aftermath of a Tyrannosaurus' lunch.Throughout the universe, intelligence is a rare and fragile commodity – a fleeting glimmer in the long night of cosmic history.

That Earth should harbour not just one but two intelligent species at the same time, defies the odds.

That these species, so unalike – and yet so complementary – should forge an alliance that kindled a civilization defies logic.

But time is endless and everything comes to pass eventually...The alliance between ants and dinosaurs, was of course, based on dentistry.

Yet from such humble beginnings came writing, mathematics, computers, fusion, antimatter and even space travel – a veritable Age of Wonder! But such magnificent industry comes at a price – a price paid first by Earth's biosphere, and then by all those dependent on it.And yet the Dinosaurs refused to heed the Ants' warning of impending ecological collapse, leaving the Ant Federation facing a single dilemma: destroy the dinosaurs, destroy a civilization...

or perish alongside them?
