Washington

With her award-winning debut novel, Purple Hibiscus, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was heralded by the Washington Post Book World as the "21st century daughter" of Chinua Achebe. Now, in her masterly, haunting new novel, she recreates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra's impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in Nigeria during the 1960s.

With the effortless grace of a natural storyteller, Adichie weaves together the lives of five characters caught up in the extraordinary tumult of the decade. Fifteen-year-old Ugwu is houseboy to Odenigbo, a university professor who sends him to school, and in whose living room Ugwu hears voices full of revolutionary zeal. Odenigbo's beautiful mistress, Olanna, a sociology teacher, is running away from her parents' world of wealth and excess; Kainene, her urbane twin, is taking over their father's business; and Kainene's English lover, Richard, forms a bridge between their two worlds. As we follow these intertwined lives through a military coup, the Biafran secession and the subsequent war, Adichie brilliantly evokes the promise, and intimately, the devastating disappointments that marked this time and place.
Epic, ambitious and triumphantly realized, Half of a Yellow Sun is a more powerful, dramatic and intensely emotional picture of modern Africa than any we have had before.

What would you do if you met your Guardian Angel? That's exactly what happens when Zoe asks for God's help to deal with the school bully, Talia. But Zoe gets more than she expected when her angel, Joph, takes her on an incredible mission to battle the demon, Fearmonger. On this assignment, she must gather the pieces of the Armor of God so she can remove the fear-seeds planted by Fearmonger. But can she face her hidden fears and greatest mistakes? Can she trust God and make the ultimate choice to bring freedom to herself, her loved ones, and even her worst enemy? This hilarious and impactful story will answer tough questions about God, while empowering you to live with strength and confidence. On this exciting journey, you will discover how partnering with God's angel army can bring victory to your life and Kingdom transformation to the world around you "God has an army?" "Of course, that's how he fights battles." "What battles?" Jophiel puffed His chest dramatically. "The battle... for your soul." I stared at Joph for a moment, and then did the "mind blown" expression with my hands, which again made me wobble on my bike. Joph just laughed at me. I didn't realize angels laughed so much. "What did you think we did?" Joph asked. "I don't know," I admitted. "Like, sit on clouds and play harps all day." Joph rolled his eyes. "Well, I do play a mean harp, but no. We are defending you, secretly and unseen, fighting against evil forces." I scrunched my nose in confusion. "When? How? I never see any of that happen " "I know." Joph struck a karate pose. "We're like ninjas. With Feathers."

Angeline Boulley

#1 New York Times bestselling author of Firekeeper's Daughter Angeline Boulley takes us back to Sugar Island in this high-stakes thriller about the power of discovering your stolen history.

Perry Firekeeper-Birch has always known who she is - the laidback twin, the troublemaker, the best fisher on Sugar Island. Her aspirations won't ever take her far from home, and she wouldn't have it any other way. But as the rising number of missing Indigenous women starts circling closer to home, as her family becomes embroiled in a high-profile murder investigation, and as greedy grave robbers seek to profit off of what belongs to her Anishinaabe tribe, Perry begins to question everything.

In order to reclaim this inheritance for her people, Perry has no choice but to take matters into her own hands. She can only count on her friends and allies, including her overachieving twin and a charming new boy in town with unwavering morals. Old rivalries, sister secrets, and botched heists cannot - will not - stop her from uncovering the mystery before the ancestors and missing women are lost forever.

Sometimes, the truth shouldn't stay buried.
