The college experience can challenge the mind, prepare one for a career and/or, since away from parental supervision, provide an open invitation to frivolity, partying and ribald behavior. That may include the dream or, in most cases, the delusion of finding the love of one's life. Tucker's Angels provides an intimate look into the mindset of one such student, who is quickly seduced by the campus lifestyle. He soon believes he has landed in heaven on Earth: dorm mates with whom to fraternize, coeds just across the quad, three squares a day in the dining hall and a new gymnasium open into the night. Yet Tucker McKay's story is also one of discovery and transformation, until playing basketball may not be the most important thing to be experienced in the Halls of Ivy. His journey is also about the many (earthly) angels in disguise who help lead him toward enlightenment, including an equally competitive coed who ties him in such emotional knots that he once again must rethink his priorities. She turns Tuck's academic awakening into an adventure, flavored with the mysteries of romance, the excitement of first love and the thrill of passion. Whether you wish to learn more about campus life or just to relive the college experience, Tucker's Angels welcomes you along for the ride, through the fun, the challenges, the lessons learned and the formation of lifelong friendships in this rite of passage from naivete into adulthood.

A CBC Young Adult, Teacher & Librarian Favorites 9th - 12th Grade Selection A Rainbow Book List Top Ten Title for Teen Readers A School Library Journal Best Books of 2022 Selection "This is a brilliant affirmation of the power of love on so many levels, with a wide range of appeal." —Booklist, Starred Review In the spirit of the author’s massively popular Twitter thread, Tucker Shaw’s When You Call My Name is a heartrending novel about two gay teens coming of age in New York City in 1990 at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Named "this summer's most powerful LGBTQ+ novel" by GAY TIMES, this book is perfect for fans of Adam Silvera and Mary H. K. Choi. Film fanatic Adam is seventeen and being asked out on his first date—and the guy is cute. Heart racing, Adam accepts, quickly falling in love with Callum like the movies always promised. Fashion-obsessed Ben is eighteen and has just left his home upstate after his mother discovers his hidden stash of gay magazines. When he comes to New York City, Ben’s sexuality begins to feel less like a secret and more like a badge of honor. Then Callum disappears, leaving Adam heartbroken, and Ben finds out his new world is more closed-minded than he thought. When Adam finally tracks Callum down, he learns the guy he loves is very ill. And in a chance meeting near the hospital where Callum is being treated, Ben and Adam meet, forever changing each other’s lives. As both begin to open their eyes to the possibilities of queer love and life, they realize sometimes the only people who can help you are the people who can really see you—in all your messy glory. A love letter to New York and the liberating power of queer friendship, When You Call My Name is a hopeful novel about the pivotal moments of our youth that break our hearts and the people who help us put them back together.

Gotham Book Finalist 2024 NPR Science Friday Best Summer Beach Reads 2024 Winner of the Christopher Award 2024 New York City, 1929. A sanatorium, a deadly disease, and a dire nursing shortage. In the pre-antibiotic days when tuberculosis stirred people’s darkest fears, killing one in seven, white nurses at Sea View, New York’s largest municipal hospital, began quitting en masse. Desperate to avert a public health crisis, city officials summoned Black southern nurses, luring them with promises of good pay, a career, and an escape from the strictures of Jim Crow. But after arriving, they found themselves on an isolated hilltop in the remote borough of Staten Island, yet again confronting racism and consigned to a woefully understaffed sanatorium, dubbed “the pest house,” where it was said that “no one left alive.” Spanning the Great Depression and moving through World War II and beyond, this remarkable true story follows the intrepid young women known by their patients as the “Black Angels.” For twenty years, they risked their lives working under appalling conditions while caring for New York’s poorest residents, who languished in wards, waiting to die, or became guinea pigs for experimental surgeries and often deadly drugs. But despite their major role in desegregating the New York City hospital system—and their vital work in helping to find the cure for tuberculosis at Sea View—these nurses were completely erased from history. The Black Angels recovers the voices of these extraordinary women and puts them at the center of this riveting story, celebrating their legacy and spirit of survival.

It's hard to imagine how a person would deal with having no father, a struggling mother, an incarcerated brother, and a sister who is suffering in an abusive relationship. Add living on the relentless streets of Watts, California, unforgiving enough to be known as "Hell on Earth" to the mix, and you might be ready to give up on life and become another victim. Or would you channel your obstacles into something more positive and become a survivor? With a successful boxing career in his sights and his brother Israel and sister Taja to watch out for, Angel Williams must find a way to fill his lackluster existence with meaning and purpose. His life changes when he meets his sister's roommate, April-a woman who makes him look forward to every new day, content in his heart and mind. But as Angel strives to make a better life for himself and April, Taja and Israel lose control of theirs.

You can call me Ryan is book one of a seven part series called "the Unity of the Faith series". Unity of the Faith is a concept laid out by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians chapter 4. This book follows Ryan, a 38-year-old bakery chain owner, who is brought back to God by a series of hard to ignore events. God calls Ryan to be a modern day prophet and member of the foretold 144,000 army of God as prophesied in the Book of Revelation. God helps Ryan fix the things that ail him in his life that Ryan didn't even understand were holding him back. Ryan tries to emulate the Apostle Paul but discovers he is something altogether different and God gives Ryan the opportunity to lead a modern day Pentecost as the Apocalypse begins. David Campion describes himself as a very common man. Writing has always been somewhat of a hobby for him and he says that he never saw himself as an author. Instead he always thought more of himself as a father, husband and friend first. He describes himself as privately spiritual but discovered a love of writing as an outlet for expressing his faith in God. David's first professional writing experience came as a member of the United States Army as a broadcast and print journalist. He has permanent veteran status and is extremely proud of his service to his country. David says his motives for writing, are from a deep felt empathy for his fellow Christians and country. That his deepest desires are to see Christians put aside what separates them and join together in their common love of Christ and to therefore be able to return his country to being a true Christian nation.

Question: What do you do with a reformed atheist? Answer: You put him out to pastor. So they did. They put former-attorney-turned-clergyman Tucker Tolliver out to pastor the Atherton Church of the Holy Covenant. Second Question: How do you drive a man of the cloth away from God? Answer: You put him in charge of the Atherton Church of the Holy Covenant, a band of rag-tag Christian misfits who put the ""dys"" in ""dysfunctional."" Then you wait. Between church matriarch Agnes Hartnett, Wanda Peterson, ""The Duke of Cheswick,"" and even part-time sexton Jake Carlyle, the merry miscreants known as Atherton CHC are doing their best to drive Pastor Tucker Tolliver out. A man of the cloth on the outside; day by day he is being stripped naked on the inside. But it doesn't matter what they do. He'll never walk away from God. He can't. Not for his sake. For Sarah's. If he ever abandons his church and his God, it will be for one reason and one reason only. Because of God.

Six year old Angeline's career as a gospel singer begins in a 1950's coal mining town in Alabama, ending in an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. The college freshman drops out of school, changes her name from Lily Angeline to Crystal Angel and seeks anonymity in New Orleans as a cabaret singer where she gives up her baby for adoption. After two years enduring the fragile bistro circuit, Angel returns to racially-torn Birmingham to face the ghosts that haunt her. She falls in love and is soon engaged to marry Chad, a church choir director landing her in the midst of the church's struggle with integration of the races. But Angel must face her own struggle--does she have the courage to confront the man she allowed to drive her away two years ago?
