Liam is the boy, lying in the hospital, in grave condition, a bullet lodged in his head. Otto is his father, a commercial artist whose marriage has collapsed in the wake of the disaster. Paul Griner’s brave novel taps directly into the vein of a uniquely American tragedy: the school shooting. We know these grotesque and sorrowful events too well. Thankfully, the characters in this drama are finely drawn human beings—those who gain our empathy, those who commit the unspeakable acts, and those conspiracy fanatics who launch a concerted campaign to convince the world that the shooting was a hoax. The Book of Otto and Liam is a suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat read and, at the same time, it is a meditation on the forms evil can take, from the irredeemable act of the shooter himself, to the anger and devastation it causes in the victims’ families. Griner has managed to make an amazing, incredibly powerful book, one that is like no other.

The Story of Liam By: Wedad M. El Hajj The Story of Liam is based on a long journey of agony and suffering experienced by two young boys who, for unknown reasons, found themselves abandoned; as a result, the harsh conditions they had to pass through taught them to confront the howling winds. They were able to learn how to survive and keep themselves safe away from all the temptations of the perilous streets. Though the events are so hard to believe, they are based on true events that took place years ago. In fact, the idea of the story sheds light on the importance of creating a loving and caring atmosphere in order to make sure that the family we aspire to have should be built on solid grounds away from the hatred rooted in some minds. In a nutshell, the events of the story are not focused to live a certain dream with happily ever after; it is rather the sum of compiled efforts that made two extraordinary kids survive to start a family that is ruled by love and only love despite of all the complexes of the two boys, who turned into real men, acquired due to the severe conditions during their childhood.

Listen is a book where characters ask readers to do just that: listen to their stories, especially because many aren't the type of people who often get listened to - even though they should. These characters' trials, missed connections, and sundry challenges are full of surprises - some good, some bad, some funny, some wise, and some all this at once. Perhaps most surprising of all, there's tenderness here and a lot of heart - which often gets the collection's characters into a lot of trouble.
