Ida Mae: Moonshine, Money and Misery
by Jim Campbell[From the back cover:] The year was 1949, and for those who called the Appalachian Mountains home, it would be a year filled with unforgettable events. Not only was it one of the hottest summers on record--which was cool compared to the upcoming sheriff's election--it was the year Ida Mae Duncan came of age. The restless daughter of a sharecropper, Ida Mae was in search of a more exciting way of life... she just kept looking in the wrong places. Before long she found herself involved with two of the county's most well known men. Her affairs with the deacon of the local Baptist church and the most conniving moonshine runner to ever hit the county only made her yearn for the life she left behind. Suddenly, an encounter with a tall, dark stranger makes her realize what really matters in life: love and friendship. The heartaches she faces during the first year of her adult life will teach her a lesson she can't afford to forget. And the bond she creates with Sarah, a newfound friend, teaches Ida Mae that it's not whether you win or lose... it's how you play the game.
Ida, in Love and in Trouble
by Veronica ChambersFor fans of Bridgerton and The Davenports comes a sweeping historical novel from bestselling author Veronica Chambers about courageous (and flirtatious) Ida B. Wells as she navigates society parties and society prejudices to become a civil rights crusader. Before she became a warrior, Ida B. Wells was an incomparable flirt with a quick wit and a dream of becoming a renowned writer. The first child of newly freed parents who thrived in a community that pulsated with hope and possibility after the Civil War, Ida had a big heart, big ambitions, and even bigger questions: How to be a good big sister when her beloved parents perish in a yellow fever epidemic? How to launch her career as a teacher? How to make and keep friends in a society that seems to have no place for a woman who speaks her own mind? And – always top of mind for Ida – how to find a love that will let her be the woman she dreams of becoming? Ahead of her time by decades, Ida B. Wells pioneered the field of investigative journalism with her powerful reporting on violence against African Americans. Her name became synonymous with courage and an unflinching demand for racial and gender equality. But there were so many facets to Ida Bell and critically acclaimed writer Veronica Chamber unspools her full and colorful life as Ida comes of age in the rapidly changing South, filled with lavish society dances and parties, swoon-worthy gentleman callers, and a world ripe for the taking.

Identity: A Novel
by Milan Kundera"Kundera, master of the twosome, finds erotic and existential threads everywhere in daily behavior. Like his previous books, Identity is a cluster of jeweled observations. . . . But Identity has a special charm: suspense. . . . [It] gets us turning the pages in excitement and alarm, and Kundera's wit keeps us turning them to the very end." — San Francisco ChronicleIn a narrative as intense as it is brief, a moment of confusion sets in motion a complex chain of events which forces the reader to cross and recross the divide between fantasy and reality.Sometimes—perhaps only for an instant—we fail to recognize a companion; for a moment their identity ceases to exist, and thus we come to doubt our own. The effect is at its most acute in a couple, where our existence is given meaning by our perception of a lover, and theirs of us.With his astonishing skill at building on and out from the significant moment, Milan Kundera has placed such a situation and the resulting wave of panic at the core of this novel. Hailed as a "a fervent and compelling romance, a moving fable about the anxieties of love and separateness" (Baltimore Sun), it is not to be missed.
