Keisha’s sister, Leah, was raped and killed by the next-door neighbor that lured her to his house, promising her a color television if she shoveled his snow. One year later, her aunt was killed by her ex-boyfriend. After such tragedy, her house size grew by two as her aunt’s children moved in. Rodney, her oldest, was in a very dark place and lived seeing his mother die. He later began to take from Keisha what was not up for negotiation, and her brother began to molest her as well, as if Rodney hooked him up. Keisha looked for love on the outside, but she was gang-raped, and she became pregnant with twins. As Keisha admired the scenery, the lights flickered on the stage, and the music was jumping. A cutie named Cheryl sat beside her, and they conversed deeply. As the room got hot, the consciousness that she had wouldn’t allow her to sleep with her knowing she had AIDS. They became good friends, but the ego in Keisha got Cheryl and her unborn child killed. Keisha left their murderer paraplegic and speechless. She killed the guys that raped her and took their money, and one of their girls she made her own. Then she was caught slipping, putting her trust in someone that wasn’t trustworthy, and almost lost her life.

New York Times bestselling author Teresa Medeiros absolutely dazzles in this quick-witted, laugh-out-loud funny, and highly moving love story that will set readers’ hearts atwitter. Abigail Donovan has a lot of stuff she should be doing. Namely writing her next novel. A bestselling author who is still recovering from a near Pulitzer Prize win and the heady success that follows Oprah’s stamp of approval, she is stuck at Chapter Five and losing confidence daily. But when her publicist signs her up for a Twitter account, she’s intrigued. What’s all the fuss? Taken under the wing of one of her Twitter followers, @MarkBaynard—a quick witted, quick-typing professor on sabbatical—Abby finds it easy to put words out into the world 140 characters at a time. And once she gets a handle on tweets, retweets, direct messages, hashtags, and trends, she starts to feel unblocked in writing and in life. After all, why should she be spending hours in her apartment staring at her TweetDeck and fretting about her stalled career when Mark is out there traveling the world and living? Or is he? Told almost entirely in tweets and DMs, Goodnight Tweetheart is a truly modern take on a classic tale of love and loss—a Griffin and Sabine for the Twitter generation.

These 20 short stories and novellas offer an exquisite portrait of Old New York, spanning from the Civil War through the Gilded Age (New York Times). “Edith Wharton . . . remains one of the most potent names in the literature of New York.” —New York Times Edith Wharton wrote about New York as only a native can. Her Manhattan is a city of well-appointed drawing rooms, hansoms and broughams, all-night cotillions, and resplendent Fifth Avenue flats. Bishops’ nieces mingle with bachelor industrialists; respectable wives turn into excellent mistresses. All are governed by a code of behavior as rigid as it is precarious. What fascinates Wharton are the points of weakness in the structure of Old New York: the artists and writers at its fringes, the free-love advocates testing its limits, widows and divorcées struggling to hold their own. The New York Stories of Edith Wharton gathers twenty stories of the city, written over the course of Wharton’s career. From her first published story, “Mrs. Manstey’s View,” to one of her last and most celebrated, “Roman Fever,” this new collection charts the growth of an American master and enriches our understanding of the central themes of her work, among them the meaning of marriage, the struggle for artistic integrity, the bonds between parent and child, and the plight of the aged. Illuminated by Roxana Robinson’s introduction, these stories showcase Wharton’s astonishing insight into the turbulent inner lives of the men and women caught up in a rapidly changing society.

Written largely in the first person, ‘The Long Run’ sees Wharton at her most reflective.

Through Merrick, Wharton explores the themes of ambition, self-deception, complacency, and apathy. Thoughtful and poignant, ‘The Long Run’ is ideal for fans of one of America’s most applauded novelists. Edith Wharton (1862 – 1937) was an American designer and novelist. Born in an era when the highest ambition a woman could aspire to was a good marriage, Wharton went on to become one of America’s most celebrated authors. During her career, she wrote over 40 books, using her wealthy upbringing to bring authenticity and detail to stories about the upper classes. She moved to France in 1923, where she continued to write until her death.
