Book Description
Avalanche of the Shackles unravels the struggle of a strong female protagonist who instills the ethics of forgiveness, humility, philanthropy in a world fraught with social castigation, border lines and the politics of divide and rule. This novel is one woman's courageous quest to uncover the murder of a teenage girl whose heart was gored out to replace the ailing heart of a prominent man's son. The novel brings to life the oral tradition embedded in African-American literature, its rich doctrines of historical storytelling as seen by Missy's household. Missy is the protagonist who changed her name to escape her exiled past because of her status in the community. She returns back to the land that once ostracized her to embark in full scale production, but finds herself and all her brood enslaved by the prominent man in her community. A twist of fate, however, ushers her surprises. She faces the after-effects of the Ngene Iji war while she endures the challenges of raising other people's children. She makes astonishing achievements that endear her to the entire community where she runs an orphanage and builds a home for the mentally ill. The Avalanche is the sequel to the biographical and historical sketch of the caste system that was brushed on in the Shackles of Oruku Threats. The Shackles dabbled in men's leading role in the politics of caste and class.

Book Description
Changes in the American religious landscape enabled the rise of mass incarceration. Religious ideas and practices also offer a key for ending mass incarceration. These are the bold claims advanced by Break Every Yoke, the joint work of two activist-scholars of American religion. Once, in an era not too long past, Americans, both incarcerated and free, spoke a language of social liberation animated by religion. In the era of mass incarceration, we have largely forgotten how to dream-and organize-this way. To end mass incarceration we must reclaim this lost tradition. Properly conceived, the movement we need must demand not prison reform but prison abolition. Break Every Yoke weaves religion into the stories about race, politics, and economics that conventionally account for America's grotesque prison expansion of the last half century, and in so doing it sheds new light on one of our era's biggest human catastrophes. By foregrounding the role of religion in the way political elites, religious institutions, and incarcerated activists talk about incarceration, Break Every Yoke is an effort to stretch the American moral imagination and contribute resources toward envisioning alternative ways of doing justice. By looking back to nineteenth century abolitionism, and by turning to today's grassroots activists, it argues for reclaiming the abolition "spirit."

Book Description
Nothing is as simple as it seems—or as safe. Dallas Smith just wanted a nap in the hammock but he ends up being abducted by a jaguar shifter named Tiago. They have a distinctly different take on several subjects, and Dallas is shocked to learn just what Tiago really is. Tiago thinks the wolves in the rainforest are an invasive species that need to leave. Meanwhile, there's a threat to the rainforest that no one saw coming. Marcus Criswell has had more losses in the past year or so than he can deal with. He has to, though, because he's the Alpha Anax of the North American packs. The only reason he's in South America is because his guard was kidnapped, but now Keegan is safe. There's still the matter of the man who tried to abduct Keegan. He can't go unpunished. Then another shifter goes missing—Dallas, gone from the hammock in a heartbeat. And on top of that, Maarten is missing. It just got hotter than hell in Brazil.
