“A funny, perceptive, and much-needed book telling a much-needed story.” —Celeste Ng, author of the New York Times bestseller Little Fires Everywhere First-generation American LatinX Liliana Cruz does what it takes to fit in at her new nearly all-white school. But when family secrets spill out and racism at school ramps up, she must decide what she believes in and take a stand. Liliana Cruz is a hitting a wall—or rather, walls. There’s the wall her mom has put up ever since Liliana’s dad left—again. There’s the wall that delineates Liliana’s diverse inner-city Boston neighborhood from Westburg, the wealthy—and white—suburban high school she’s just been accepted into. And there’s the wall Liliana creates within herself, because to survive at Westburg, she can’t just lighten up, she has to whiten up. So what if she changes her name? So what if she changes the way she talks? So what if she’s seeing her neighborhood in a different way? But then light is shed on some hard truths: It isn’t that her father doesn’t want to come home—he can’t…and her whole family is in jeopardy. And when racial tensions at school reach a fever pitch, the walls that divide feel insurmountable. But a wall isn’t always a barrier. It can be a foundation for something better. And Liliana must choose: Use this foundation as a platform to speak her truth, or risk crumbling under its weight.

If you love Jennifer Robson or The Crown you will love New York Times bestselling author Karen Harper’s novel about Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. 1939. As the wife of the King George VI and the mother of the future queen, Elizabeth—“the queen mother”—shows a warm, smiling face to the world. But it’s no surprise that Hitler himself calls her the “Most Dangerous Woman in Europe.” For behind that soft voice and kindly demeanor is a will of steel. Two years earlier, George was thrust onto the throne when his brother Edward abdicated, determined to marry his divorced, American mistress Mrs. Simpson. Vowing to do whatever it takes to make her husband’s reign a success, Elizabeth endears herself to the British people, and prevents the former king and his brazen bride from ever again setting foot in Buckingham Palace. Elizabeth holds many powerful cards, she’s also hiding damaging secrets about her past and her provenance that could prove to be her undoing. In this riveting novel of royal secrets and intrigue, Karen Harper lifts the veil on one of the world’s most fascinating families, and how its “secret weapon” of a matriarch maneuvered her way through one of the most dangerous chapters of the century.

Doctors on average spare only eighteen seconds to diagnose a patient, which results in misdiagnosis one in every six times because both doctor and patient ask the wrong questions or no questions at all. Identity theft victims readily yield passwords without questioning. Even the routine job interview process is broken filled with tired predictable questions that surface textbook answers. How To Meet The Queen attacks our questioning deficit by gleaning principles from the professionals who are paid to ask good questions. This eminent cast includes headline interviewers like CNN s Larry King, 60 Minutes Mike Wallace, Harvard Medical School Professor Dr. Jerome Groopman, and even high-profile former criminal Frank Abagnale (subject of the Hollywood film Catch Me If You Can). These principles are applied to real life - personal health, the job interview, crime prevention, the art of selling, choosing a vacation, launching a startup business, and more. And as the title suggests, the author recounts chapter-by-chapter how close he came to meeting Queen Elizabeth II armed only with these principles! For more details please visit http: //www.6basix.com/howtomeetthequeen Endorsement from Dr. Sean Wise, Professor of Entrepreneurship, Ryerson University, and the first online host of CBC's hit reality TV show, Dragons' Den: "Lee illustrates that knowing the right questions to ask is as important as finding the correct answers. How to meet the Queen is a strong introduction to the role that inquiry plays in customer and strategic development in business."

The Queens’ English is a comprehensive guide to modern gay slang, queer theory terms, and playful colloquialisms that define and celebrate LGBTQIA+ culture. This modern dictionary provides an in-depth look at queer language, from terms influenced by celebrated lesbian poet Sappho and from New York’s underground queer ball culture in the 1980s to today's celebration of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
