A Novel

An explosive tale of art and myth, desire and betrayal, from New York Times best-selling author Jill Bialosky

Something terrible has happened and I don't know what to do. An unnamed narrator's life is unraveling. Her only child has left home, and her twenty-year marriage is strained. Anticipation about her soon-to-be-released book of poetry looms. She seeks answers to the paradoxes of love, desire, and parenthood among the Greek and Roman gods at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As she passes her days teaching at a boys' prep school, spending her off-hours sequestered in the museum's austere galleries, she is haunted by memories of a yearlong friendship with a colleague, a fellow poet struggling with his craft. As secret betrayals and deceptions come to light and rage threatens to overwhelm her, the pantheon of gods assume remarkably vivid lives of their own, forcing her to choose between reality and myth in an effort to free herself from the patriarchal constraints of the past and embrace a new vision for her future.
 
The Deceptions is a page-turning and seductively told exploration of female sexuality and ambition as well as a human drama that dares to test the stories we tell ourselves. It is also a brilliant investigation of a life caught between the dueling magnetic poles of privacy and its appropriation in art and literature. Celebrated poet, memoirist, and novelist Jill Bialosky has reached new and daring heights in her boldest work yet.

Guia Católica para Conocer y Compartir lo Que Creemos

La enseñanza de la fe católica se puede convertir en un auténtico reto si no la conoces adecuadamente. Además, considerando que el Catecismo de la Iglesia tiene más de 900 páginas, no hay que extrañarse si los católicos sufren para comprender su fe.

Una fe bien  construida --desarrollado con enorme creatividad usando metafóricamente el tema de la construcción-- facilita enormemente a los católicos el conocimiento de su fe y les da seguridad al momento de compartirla. En 18 capítulos el maestro catequista Joe Paprocki repasa las cuatro partes del Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica (Credo, sacramentos, moral y oración), convirtiendo este libro en una maravillosa, simpática y abundante fuente de información sobre la fe católica. Una fe bien construida tiene que ser un libro de referencia obligada para crecer en la fe católica.





Teaching the Catholic faith can be quite a challenge if you lack an adequate understanding of the Catholic faith yourself. And given the fact that the Catechism of the Catholic Church is over 900 pages in length, it's no wonder that Catholics struggle to comprehend their faith.

A Well-Built Faith--creatively developed around a construction theme--makes it easy for Catholics to know what they believe and to feel confident in sharing those beliefs.This 18-chapter book by master teacher Joe Paprocki follows the structure of the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (Creed, Sacraments, Morality, and Prayer), making it a wonderful resource for learning about and teaching the Catholic faith. Highly informative and very fun at the same time, A Well-Built Faith is a must-have tool for developing the Catholic faith.

Making Space for My Resilient Body and Soul

A poignant and ruthlessly honest journey through cultural expectations of size, race, and gender--and toward a brighter future--from National Book Award nominee Evette Dionne

My body has not betrayed me; it has continued rebounding against all odds. It is a body that others map their expectations on, but it has never let me down.

In this insightful, funny, and whip-smart book, acclaimed writer Evette Dionne explores the minefields fat Black woman are forced to navigate in the course of everyday life. From her early experiences of harassment to adolescent self-discovery in internet chatrooms to diagnosis with heart failure at age twenty-nine, Dionne tracks her relationships with friendship, sex, motherhood, agoraphobia, health, pop culture, and self-image.

Along the way, she lifts back the curtain to reveal the subtle, insidious forms of surveillance and control levied at fat women: At the doctor's office, where any health ailment is treated with a directive to lose weight. On dating sites, where larger bodies are rejected or fetishized. On TV, where fat characters are asexual comedic relief. But Dionne's unflinching account of our deeply held prejudices is matched by her fierce belief in the power of self-love.

An unmissable portrait of a woman on a journey toward understanding our society and herself, Weightless holds up a mirror to the world we live in and asks us to imagine the future we deserve.

The Case for Elfego Baca, Hispanic Hero

It took Elfego Baca just 36 hours in the fall of 1884 to earn his reputation as savior of the Hispanics of the Territory of New Mexico. In 60 years he made himself into a lawyer often known for sleaze, a politician suspected of dealing under the table, a guy who liked his liquor too much, and the object of a $30,000 reward by Pancho Villa.
