ñI tell you, God could care less about the poor. Tell me, why must we live here like this? What have we done to deserve this? YouÍre so good and yet you suffer so much,î a young boy tells his mother in Tomàs RiveraÍs classic novel about the migrant worker experience. Outside the chicken coop that is their home, his father wails in pain from the unbearable cramps brought on by sunstroke after working in the hot fields. The young boy canÍt understand his parentsÍ faith in a god that would impose such horrible suffering, poverty and injustice on innocent people. Adapted into the award-winning film and the earth did not swallow him and recipient of the first award for Chicano literature, the Premio Quinto Sol, in 1970, RiveraÍs masterpiece recounts the experiences of a Mexican-American community through the eyes of a young boy. Forced to leave their home in search of work, the migrants are exploited by farmers, shopkeepers, even other Mexican Americans, and the boy must forge his identity in the face of exploitation, death and disease, constant moving and conflicts with school officials. In this new edition of a powerful novel comprised of short vignettes, Rivera writes hauntingly about alienation, love and betrayal, man and nature, death and resurrection and the search for community.

The eat-the-rich, deliciously dark fantasy you've been waiting for. A girl with the power of the banished gods must bind herself to a wicked Prince to save her crumbling world, as the poor are sacrificed to save the rich. Lorena Adler has a secret—she holds the power of the banished gods, the Noble and the Vile, inside her. But she has spent her entire life hiding from the world and her past. Lorena's content to spend her days as an undertaker in a small town, marry her best friend, Julian, and live an unfulfilling life so long as no one uncovers her true nature. But when the notoriously bloodthirsty and equally Vile crown prince comes to arrest Julian's father, he immediately recognizes Lorena for what she is. So, she makes a deal—a fair trial for her betrothed's father in exchange for her service to the crown. The prince is desperate for her help. He's spent years trying to repair the weakening Door that holds back the Vile...and he's losing the battle. As Lorena learns more about the Door and the horrifying price it takes to keep it closed, she'll have to embrace both parts of herself to survive.

You may picture a bully as a muscular high school kid wearing a letterman jacket, who enjoys picking on the smaller kids or someone writing offensive comments to someone online. Bullies may also wear scrubs, carry stethoscopes, give medications, care for the sick, and call themselves nurses. Bullies may also be sick patients and family members of the sick patients. Bree, a new nurse at Shady Oaks Assisted Living Facility, soon learns that her new nursing job feels a lot like she stepped back into high school. Shady Oaks is full of gossiping, fights, cliques, medication errors, and unprofessionalism. Bree realizes that some nurses have a can't sit with us mentality, and Sadie and a few other nurses are exactly that way. Sadie, a more seasoned nurse, has been a nurse for over twenty years and enjoys whipping new nurses into shape, even if it means getting them fired. Lou, a new patient at Shady Oaks Assisted Living Facility is determined to get out of the nursing home and back to her husband, even if it means kicking, hitting, and spitting on nurses.

Bree is trying to earn her seat at the nursing table, Sadie is trying to keep her seat at the nursing table or one day be at the head of it, and Lou just want to be at her own table. Can't Sit With Us is a story told through the eyes and minds of Bree, Sadie, and Lou. This is a story about how nurses devour their young.
