Vince Luca is just like any other high school guy. His best friend, Alex, is trying to score vicariously through him; his brother is a giant pain; and his father keeps bugging him to get motivated. There is just one thing that really sets him apart for other kids-his father happens to be the head of a powerful crime organization. Needless to say, while Vince's family's connections can be handy for certain things (like when teachers are afraid to give him a bad grade), they can put a serious crimp in his dating life. How is he supposed to explain to a girl what his father does for a living? But when Vince meets a girl who finally seems to be worth the trouble, her family turns out to be the biggest problem of all. Because her father is an FBI agent-the one who wants to put his father away for good.

A Recommended Book From: USA Today * The Chicago Tribune * Book Riot * Refinery 29 * InStyle * The Minneapolis Star-Tribune * Publishers Weekly * Baltimore Outloud * Omnivoracious * Lambda Literary * Goodreads * Lit Hub * The Millions FINALIST FOR THE JOYCE CAROL OATES PRIZE WINNER OF THE NEW AMERICAN VOICES AWARD From award-winning author Lysley Tenorio, comes a big hearted debut novel following an undocumented Filipino son as he navigates his relationship with his mother, an uncertain future, and the place he calls home Excel spends his days trying to seem like an unremarkable American teenager. When he’s not working at The Pie Who Loved Me (a spy-themed pizza shop) or passing the time with his girlfriend Sab (occasionally in one of their town’s seventeen cemeteries), he carefully avoids the spotlight. But Excel knows that his family is far from normal. His mother, Maxima, was once a Filipina B-movie action star who now makes her living scamming men online. The old man they live with is not his grandfather, but Maxima’s lifelong martial arts trainer. And years ago, on Excel’s tenth birthday, Maxima revealed a secret that he must keep forever. “We are ‘TNT’—tago ng tago,” she told him, “hiding and hiding.” Excel is undocumented—and one accidental slip could uproot his entire life. Casting aside the paranoia and secrecy of his childhood, Excel takes a leap, joining Sab on a journey south to a ramshackle desert town called Hello City. Populated by drifters, old hippies, and washed-up techies—and existing outside the normal constructs of American society—Hello City offers Excel a chance to forge his own path for the first time. But after so many years of trying to be invisible, who does he want to become? And is it possible to put down roots in a country that has always considered you an outsider? Thrumming with energy and at once critical and hopeful, The Son of Good Fortune is a luminous story of a mother and son testing the strength of their bond to their country—and to each other.

As a common person, without any qualification in what people call theology as science and history, it is a big challenge for me to discuss in public the very sensible religious matter of Ten Commandments. My second challenge, and not the least, was my weakness in English language. Indeed, having French as first language, I have hesitated to write in French or in English, both languages spoken in Canada. I opted for English for two reasons. Torontonians would be my important readers and there are in large majority English-speaking people among the French-speaking Ontarians. Therefore, to reach the large audience, I chose English. Big challenge, is not? The other reason is that I attend an English-speaking congregation for worship and this would be my first audience, as my closest family. Why do I write this book and why is it called Not One Jot? I had a disorderly youth, as I grew up with a widowed mom unable to correct me when needed; thus, finding myself where my God has brought me now, I felt obligated to testify of His Love. The only way to be thankful to Him is to preach His Gospel around me to respond to His commission in Matthew 28: 19, 20, Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[1] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Therefore, living in selfish North-American culture where we do not have time to listen quietly to your neighbor, everyone closed in his corner or always too busy, where even the married couples have not enough time for each other; and, as I do not have the means to have a TV or a radio station to preach and care for my neighbors, colleagues, friends, family members, relatives , I decided to write this Testimony about the holy Ten Commandment Law of the Creator of the Universe, specially the Fourth commandment of the Decalogue, which shows clearly that we are not product of the hazard nor are we here by accident! Grown up in a Catholic environment until my twenties, I myself discovered this Truth as taught in the Holy Bible, by reading a book, which changed forever my life. Here I have to be thankful to my elder brothers who had endured sacrifice to study and finish my degrees which helped me to read and write. Without this, that book which transformed my life could not have any meaning to me! I am not writing this book to offend or belittle any Christian denomination, especially those specifically cited in this Testimony. Many of those church members love their Creator and would like sincerely to believe the Truth and serve their mighty Creator and infallible Lawgiver, if they had opportunity to earnestly study His Word! Thus, time may come when they will open their heart to the eternal Light and follow the true Way to the eternal Life. Neither have I written it to boast myself or to extol those Churches whose members keep the Sabbath as being the unique ready for heaven, for, Judas was one of the twelve beside the Messiah more than three years, but we know he will not be found there! Yes, there are many books written in this matter, however, someone can be interested reading a book only by its title, and also more importantly by its author. The title Not One Jot emphasizes the idea found throughout the Word of God asking people not to obliterate any of the smallest letter of His Ten Commandment Law, no matter how great they are, how powerful they pretend to be, how intelligent and wise they may be, how high their instruction could be, how big and rich their church seem to be. For these ten statements are the only ones through all the Scriptures, written by the mighty and holy Hand of the Creator. Herein is discussed the origin, the importance and the perpetuity of Gods Ten Commandment Law as the Moral Law of His eternal Government. And as Lawgiver and Supreme Legislator, He is the only One wo

"I have never before read anything except Nabokov’s Speak, Memory that so relentlessly and shrewdly exhausted the kindness and cruelty of recollection’s shaping devices." —Geoffrey Wolff Born in Czechoslovakia, Mark Slouka’s parents survived the Nazis only to have to escape the Communist purges after the war. Smuggled out of their own country, the newlyweds joined a tide of refugees moving from Innsbruck to Sydney to New York, dragging with them a history of blood and betrayal that their son would be born into. From World War I to the present, Slouka pieces together a remarkable story of refugees and war, displacement and denial—admitting into evidence memories, dreams, stories, the lies we inherit, and the lies we tell—in an attempt to reach his mother, the enigmatic figure at the center of the labyrinth. Her story, the revelation of her life-long burden and the forty-year love affair that might have saved her, shows the way out of the maze.
