A beautifully written novel about love, class differences, and betrayal playing out over the course of a fractured American family’s Long Island summer from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ann Brashares, author of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. “A gorgeously written novel on love, loss and family.” —NICOLA YOON, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything Summer for Sasha and Ray means the sprawling old house on Long Island. Since they were children, they’ve shared almost everything—reading the same books, running down the same sandy footpaths to the beach, eating peaches from the same market, laughing around the same sun-soaked dining table. Even sleeping in the same bed, on the very same worn cotton sheets. But they’ve never met. Sasha’s dad was once married to Ray’s mom, and together they had three daughters: Emma, the perfectionist; Mattie, the beauty; and Quinn, the favorite. But the marriage crumbled and the bitterness lingered. Now there are two new families—and neither one will give up the beach house that holds the memories, happy and sad, of summers past. The choices we make come back to haunt us; the effect on our destinies ripples out of our control . . . or does it? This summer, the lives of Sasha, Ray, and their siblings intersect in ways none of them ever dreamed, in a novel about family relationships, keeping secrets, and most of all, love. ★ “Masterful.” —PW, Starred ★ “A continuous, consistently engrossing narrative . . . deeply moving.” —The Bulletin, Starred “A gorgeous exploration of family, secrets, and love.” —Teen Vogue “You absolutely must read it.” —PopCrush An Amazon Best of the Month Selection A Teen Choice Book Award nominee!

A brilliant, impassioned, unflinching account of the firestorm of #MeToo, how we got there, and where we must now go. In Women, Men, and the Whole Damn Thing, author David Leser presents an essential and incisive investigation, unearthing the roots of misogyny, its inextricable links to the patriarchy, and how history brought us to the #MeToo movement and the wave of incandescent female rage that is sweeping the world. Crucially, he also interrogates his own psyche, privilege, and culpability as he bears witness to the “collective wound of the world” and asks how we can move towards healing and profound and permanent change. This book calls on men (yes, all men) to be accountable for their contribution to the continuing oppression of women by the patriarchal structures that have dominated our culture historically and through to the present. He argues that misogyny and female oppression is the greatest moral issue of our times and we are all responsible for dismantling the structures which cause such oppression. This book is his journey into how to grapple with both the personal and collective aftermath of #MeToo and the new future. Including interviews with Tina Brown, Zainab Salbi, Marlene Schiappa, and Helen Garner, among other globally recognized names, Women, Men, and the Whole Damn Thing is a bold, honest, and self-searching global overview of the cultural moment of misogyny that we exist in and, perhaps, a way to move forward.

"A gorgeous exploration of family, secrets, and love." —Teen Vogue From the bestselling author of the beloved Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, comes a “must-read” (PopCrush) novel about two teenagers who have never met but share the same room on alternating weeks during an unforgettable summer. Previously published as The Whole Thing Together. For Sasha, summer means time at her family's sprawling old house out on Long Island. For Ray, it's the same. Sasha and Ray aren't related--and they've never met--but long ago, before they were born, Sasha's dad and Ray's mom were married. Then came a bitter divorce, remarriages, and a new generation of children. Now, the two families have an arrangement: use the summerhouse at your designated time and never cross paths. Sasha and Ray do connect, though, by email--joking around, confiding in one another, forming a friendship. They've shared so much already . . . what would happen if they met in real life? "A gorgeously written novel on love, loss, and family." —Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author

GOD did not intend that any should perish; for that, HE did not only let HIS Son JESUS die to redeem the sinful world, but HE called teachers and prophets to teach the people HIS righteous ways so that they may have eternal life and not be punished in hell as HIS justice requires. Unfortunately to some of us, the same teachers whom GOD has called for the true Gospel of JESUS CHRIST to win souls for the kingdom of GOD has adopted the ways of this world and has abandoned the reason why the LORD called them. Their call to turn sinners to righteousness has become unmentionable in their churches, and they grow weak every day in converting sinners because the devil has made them believe that mentioning sin may be offensive to some of their members who already know that they are sinners. Since their minds are set in pleasing and winning people for themselves rather than winning souls for GOD, they have found fancy and entertaining ways of setting aside the commands of GOD in order to observe their men-introduced traditions. For that and more, the LORD spoke to me in my dream and revealed to me in a vision a verse in the Bible, which you will find inside this book, that HE is not happy that the teachers have neglected the more important matters of HIS kingdom, which is living to inherit eternal life. HE automatically made me a writer so that I may enter the enemy zones and rescue those that the devil holds captive through the words of those material-minded teachers and the false prophets. To bring to light the desire of the LORD for HIS people to HIS people so that we may know where we are going wrong and be able to work it out with the help of GOD through JESUS CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT. Peace and love to you.
