by Kenneth TuckerAfter his conflict with Capone, Eliot Ness becomes the public safety director of Cleveland Ohio. He scores resounding victories against corrupt unions and organized crime, but confronts an enemy he might not be able to arrest. A string of grotesque serial killings—bodies dismembered and their parts scattered in an area known as Kingsbury Run—threatens the city. As public pressure mounts for the so-called Mad Butcher’s capture, Ness learns of very likely suspect—an alcoholic ex-physician, who calls himself Gaylord Sundheim. However, a potential stumbling block arises. The suspect’s is the first cousin of Ness and the mayor’s chief political enemy. Can Ness investigate Sundheim without appearing to be waging a smear campaign against a political enemy by attacking a relative who may be a harmless eccentric? Meanwhile, Ness begins suspects that Sundheim may have had an accomplice or a copycat follower. Can Ness unravel the mystery before public pressure and political opposition threaten his career? How will his obsession with this crime affect his already tottering marriage? Based upon the historical case of Eliot Ness and the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run.
The Family I'm In
by Sharon G. FlakeThe bestselling and award-winning author of The Skin I'm In and The Life I'm In returns with a novel that explores the complex relationships between Black boys and their fathers, and what it truly means to be a man. Sharon Flake's groundbreaking novel, The Skin I'm In ushered in a new voice that lit up the YA landscape, ignited important conversations about self-perception and racial identity, and became a modern classic that has been passed down through generations.

They summon their inner strength to push beyond family illness, mental health issues, parents, teachers, and society — to reach, succeed, and to live with dignity, purpose, and promise.
The Family in English Children's Literature (Children's Literature and Culture)
by Ann AlstonFrom the trials of families experiencing divorce, as in Anne Fine’s Madame Doubtfire, to the childcare problems highlighted in Jacqueline Wilson’s Tracy Beaker, it might seem that the traditional family and the ideals that accompany it have long vanished. However, in The Family in English Children’s Literature, Ann Alston argues that this is far from the case. She suggests that despite the tales of family woe portrayed in children’s literature, the desire for the happy, contented nuclear family remains inherent within the ideological subtexts of children’s literature. Using 1818 as a starting point, Alston investigates families in children’s literature at their most intimate, focusing on how they share their spaces, their ideals of home, and even on what they eat for dinner. What emerges from Alston’s study are not so much the contrasts that exist between periods, but rather the startling similarities of the ideology of family intrinsic to children’s literature. The Family in English Children’s Literature sheds light on who maintains control, who behaves, and how significant children’s literature is in shaping our ideas about what makes a family "good."

The Fantasy of Family: Nineteenth-Century Children's Literature and the Myth of the Domestic Ideal (Children's Literature and Culture)
by Elizabeth ThielThe myth of the Victorian family remains a pervasive influence within a contemporary Britain that perceives itself to be in social crisis. Nostalgic for a golden age of "Victorian values" in which visions of supportive, united families predominate, the common consciousness, exhorted by social and political discourse, continues to vaunt the "traditional, natural" family as the template by which all other family forms are gauged. Yet this fantasy of family, nurtured and augmented throughout the Victorian era, was essentially a construct that belied the realities of a nineteenth-century world in which orphanhood, fostering, and stepfamilies were endemic. Focusing primarily on British children's texts written by women and drawing extensively on socio-historic material, The Fantasy of Family considers the paradoxes implicit to the perpetuation of the domestic ideal within the Victorian era and offers new perspectives on both nineteenth-century and contemporary society.

The Far Journey
by Loula Grace ErdmanIt was a long hard trail from Southern Missouri to the Texas Panhandle in the 1880’s, and yet a gentle, inexperienced young woman traveled it to join her beloved. The author of such bestsellers as The Edge of Time, The Years of the Locust, and Lonely Passage has written this story of a daring adventure with great warmth and insight, so that it is as immediate, as true to life as it is dramatic. And its thrilling episodes are revealed as the milestones in a spiritual journey as well. Growing up in Reconstruction days on the remnants of a fine Missouri plantation, Catherine Montgomery had been reared in the aristocratic ante bellum traditions her mother resolutely maintained. Yet, when she was eighteen, she fell in love with a “Yankee upstart,” Edward Delaney, whose most cherished dream was to claim land of his own in the untamed West. Edward and Catherine could not set out for the West immediately after their marriage, however, for they had to have money for a stake. By the time their chance finally came, their son Ned was three--and Catherine was too happily settled, too fearful of the risk to her child, to share her husband’s enthusiasm. She let him leave for Texas without her.... For Catherine, the passing days were filled with fruitless repentance for failing her husband. And when circumstances prevented Edward from coming for them as he had promised, the rift in their marriage seemed to widen. Edward needed her, she knew. And she needed to prove herself in his eyes, to measure up to the demands of the life he wanted to make for her. So, with only her small son and her wise but dubiously reliable Uncle Willie as companions, she set out to go to him. At midpoint of the dangerous trip she was suddenly, tragically robbed of Uncle Willie’s guidance. But not even then would she turn back.... It would be unfair to deny the reader the suspense and satisfaction of making this “far journey” with Catherine herself, of sharing her adventures, which include a startling encounter with a mysterious Indian, a poignant trailside birthday party, and a terrifying pursuit by an evil stranger! Catherine’s journey is, in a sense, the journey every woman makes toward her love. And as she crossed the vast plains of a growing America, Catherine herself grew to a mature understanding of those simple, enduring values that still beckon each of us onward today. In The Far Journey, the reader will find them, as Catherine does, in the daily round as well as in the once-in-a-lifetime moment that reveals them in all their glory.

The Feast Makers (The Scapegracers #3)
by H. A. ClarkeThe Craft for Gen Z: The Feast Makers, indie bestselling author H. A. Clarke crafts an action-packed conclusion to the Scapegracers trilogy, as our beloved teen coven tackle college acceptances, queer romance, and a witch trial to remember for the ages. After restoring their powers, Sideways just wants to get on with senior year. But the covens have convened for the trial of Madeline Kline. When this stubborn, independent witch begs the Scapegracers to save her from a cruel and unusual punishment, Sideways knows they have to get involved. It&’s the right thing to do, even if Madeline did steal their soul and wear it for a time. Right? Making an example out of Madeline seems, strangely, just as important to the most powerful covens as divvying up the Scapegracers amongst themselves. Sideways, Jing, Daisy, and Yates are reluctant to abandon what they&’ve built together, but as the college acceptances (and rejections) roll in, the offer of a magical family beyond Sycamore Gorge becomes increasingly tempting. Unfortunately, choosing a new coven will have to wait: witchfinders are gathering in town, and some of these visitors make the Chantrys seem tame in comparison. Every witch—Scapegracer or not—is about to be in grave danger. And on top of all that, Sideways thinks they just might be in love. In H. A. Clarke&’s signature raw and explosive style, The Feast Makers brings the indie-bestselling Scapegracers trilogy to a dynamic end as Sideways, Jing, Daisy, Yates, and Shiloh tackle college acceptances, queer romance, and the meaning of justice in an ever-challenging world.
