Kent and Spencer, brothers in all but blood, find a dying phone in the dead of night in a sleepy suburb. The phone belongs to a young woman, who they quickly discover may be in real danger. The story starts out as a buddy comedy, but quickly becomes real, heartfelt, and heartbreaking when the owner of the phone barrels into the picture. "A nuanced coming-of-age thriller that touches on the the hardest parts of navigating truth and loss in the mess of your early-twenties. The characters just breathe life into thoughts, feelings, and memories of a time of life that is ageless" - Selena Raskin

ONE MAN'S PARADISE IS ANOTHER MAN'S HELL "The dead don't annoy me. The dead don't complain. They aren't loud. They don't cut me off in traffic. In short, they can do nothing that would piss me off. No worries-just silenced regrets and unsolved murder." In Honolulu, former police detective James Pakelika Ryan is faced with a case eerily similar to the one that led to the headline-grabbing, explosive demise of his career. Can he solve it with the help of friend and ex-partner Carl Kerrigan before he falls further down the rabbit hole of his troubled mind?

Against All Odds is a first-hand account of Eritrea''s 30-year struggle for independence from Ethiopia, which it won in 1991 with little outside support after defeating successive U.S.- and Soviet-backed regimes and overcoming drought and famine while working to unify and reform the society from which it derived its strength. A 1997 afterword captures the optimism generated by these achievements. But a new reappraisal recounts its slide into despotism after renewed conflict with Ethiopia and the dark years of isolation and repression that followed, the hopes raised by a 2018 peace pact and then dashed by another round of war. It concludes with reflections on how to break this cycle and begin the democratic transition for which so many fought and died.
