At eighteen, she met Tod Hostetter at a local dance, having no idea that the mercurial charmer she would impulsively wed was heir to one of the wealthiest families in America. But when he died twelve years later, Allene packed her bags for New York City. From the vantage point of the American upper class, Allene embodied the tumultuous Gilded Age. Over the course of four more marriages, she weathered personal tragedies during World War I and the catastrophic financial reversals of the crash of 1929. From the castles and châteaus of Europe, she witnessed the Russian Revolution and became a princess.

That's what Nefertiti, a single African American woman, discovered when she decided she wanted to adopt a Black baby boy out of the foster care system. Eager to finally join the motherhood ranks, Nefertiti was shocked when people started asking her why she wanted to adopt a 'crack baby' or said that she would never be able to raise a Black son on her own. She realized that American society saw motherhood through a white lens, and that there would be no easy understanding or acceptance of the kind of family she hoped to build. Motherhood So White is the story of Nefertiti's fight to create the family she always knew she was meant to have and the story of motherhood that all American families need now. In this unflinching account of her parenting journey, Nefertiti examines the history of adoption in the African American community, faces off against stereotypes of single, Black motherhood, and confronts the reality of raising children of color in racially charged, modern-day America. Honest, vulnerable, and uplifting, Motherhood So White reveals what Nefertiti knew all along - that the only requirement for a successful family is one raised with love.\"--Page [2] of cover.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2emggkpna1h2ff0m530hra.jpg?v=3b27d7c8e8","LQP?,Z?b~qD%RjRjRjtR_3RjD%-;",2019,304,[98],{"id":99,"slug":100,"name":101},"01kx2emggezp9e1xrj3g10vv7y","nefertiti-austin-kta7","Nefertiti Austin",[103,107,108],{"id":104,"name":105,"slug":106,"is_fiction":15},89,"Memoir","memoir",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":15},{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":74,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":111,"themes":114,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[112,113],"inspiring","reflective",[],{"id":116,"slug":117,"title":118,"description":119,"primary_cover_url":120,"cover_blurhash":121,"first_publish_year":122,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":10,"page_count":123,"authors":124,"genres":129,"series":135,"enrichment":136},"01kx2af2eqy4tdy5h1d8b5q8ft","tell-me-everything-tjwm","Tell Me Everything","A true crime writer and former private investigator recounts the chilling real story of her investigation into a decades-old kidnapping, uncovering secrets buried for years.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2af2f8mzc3fy09nx2cs91t.jpg?v=481a3c05e0","LAG8DuVZ00.RX9oeobo33mOX{NrY",2022,288,[125],{"id":126,"slug":127,"name":128},"01kx2af2f3yqsqdkgqrysexcsh","erika-krouse-5oq8","Erika Krouse",[130,134],{"id":131,"name":132,"slug":133,"is_fiction":15},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":73,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":137,"themes":140,"setting_period":7,"summary":119,"content_warnings":7},[138,139],"dark","tense",[],{"id":142,"slug":143,"title":144,"description":145,"primary_cover_url":146,"cover_blurhash":147,"first_publish_year":148,"community_rating_avg":149,"community_rating_count":150,"page_count":151,"authors":152,"genres":157,"series":164,"enrichment":165},"01kx27p2svvwepgyk3gnd4q0xm","aint-i-a-woman-5dwr","Ain't I a Woman","A world renowned author, scholar, public intellectual, and activist, bell hooks was 19 years old when she wrote *Ain't I a Woman* (published ten years later).

The grandmother is Swedish, a retired domestic. The boy is Ethiopian and adopted, and he will grow up to become the world-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson. This book is his love letter to food and family in all its manifestations. Marcus Samuelsson was only three years old when he, his mother, and his sister--all battling tuberculosis--walked seventy-five miles to a hospital in the Ethiopian capital city of Addis Adaba. Tragically, his mother succumbed to the disease shortly after she arrived, but Marcus and his sister recovered, and one year later, they were welcomed into a loving middle-class white family in Gothenburg, Sweden. It was there that Marcus's new grandmother, Helga, sparked in him a lifelong passion for food and cooking with her pan-fried herring, her freshly baked bread, and her signature roast chicken. From a very early age, there was little question what Marcus was going to be when he grew up. Yes, Chef chronicles Marcus Samuelsson's remarkable journey from Helga's humble kitchen to some of the most demanding and cutthroat restaurants in Switzerland and France, from his grueling stints on cruise ships to his arrival in New York City, where his outsize talent and ambition finally come together at Aquavit, earning him a coveted New York Times three-star rating at the age of twenty-four. But Samuelsson's career of \"chasing flavors,\" as he calls it, had only just begun--in the intervening years, there have been White House State dinners, career crises, reality show triumphs and, most important, the opening of the beloved Red Rooster in Harlem. At Red Rooster, Samuelsson has fufilled his dream of creating a truly diverse, multiracial dining room--a place where presidents and prime ministers rub elbows with jazz musicians, aspiring artists, bus drivers, and nurses. It is a place where an orphan from Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, living in America, can feel at home. With disarming honesty and intimacy, Samuelsson also opens up about his failures as a man--the price of ambition, in human terms--and recounts his emotional journey, as a grown man, to meet the father he never knew. Yes, Chef is a tale of personal discovery, unshakable determination, and the passionate, playful pursuit of flavors--one man's struggle to find a place for himself in the kitchen, and in the world\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2e8p85754qs5kcr5y9h1er.jpg?v=1e29942bcb","LDFMzd$f0jI=}n$$I=NI1Js.}DR,",2012,319,[205],{"id":206,"slug":207,"name":208},"01kx2e8p7gpq0q6j29w5f8a61g","marcus-samuelsson-vhwh","Marcus Samuelsson",[210,211,215],{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},{"id":212,"name":213,"slug":214,"is_fiction":15},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":216,"name":217,"slug":218,"is_fiction":15},112,"Cooking","cooking",[],{"pace":74,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":221,"themes":223,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[112,222],"heartwarming",[],{"id":225,"slug":226,"title":227,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":228,"cover_blurhash":229,"first_publish_year":230,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":10,"page_count":231,"authors":232,"genres":237,"series":240,"enrichment":241},"01kwzr4kjskn32wcsy4k8hnfq0","the-hero-code-tlgh","The Hero Code","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzr4kkbbjmjyrzz4rcft696.jpg?v=b5f3438f6b","LAAAj{of~ps;j]j[fPay_2j[Rjj[",2021,179,[233],{"id":234,"slug":235,"name":236},"01kwzr4kk7a6nk8qhxc0hznnrm","admiral-william-h-mcraven-vbxr","Admiral William H.

Drawing on numerous unpublished sources, he examines in detail the peculiar friendship between the Oxford mathematician Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) and Alice Liddell, the child for whom he invented the Alice stories, and analyzes how this relationship stirred Carroll’s imagination and influenced the creation of Wonderland. It also explains why Alice in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass (1871), took on an unstoppable cultural momentum in the Victorian era and why, a century and a half later, they continue to enthrall and delight readers of all ages. The Story of Alice reveals Carroll as both an innovator and a stodgy traditionalist, entrenched in habits and routines. He had a keen double interest in keeping things moving and keeping them just as they are. (In Looking-Glass Land, Alice must run faster and faster just to stay in one place.) Tracing the development of the Alice books from their inception in 1862 to Liddell’s death in 1934, Douglas-Fairhurst also provides a keyhole through which to observe a larger, shifting cultural landscape: the birth of photography, changing definitions of childhood, murky questions about sex and sexuality, and the relationship between Carroll’s books and other works of Victorian literature. In the stormy transition from the Victorian to the modern era, Douglas-Fairhurst shows, Wonderland became a sheltered world apart, where the line between the actual and the possible was continually blurred.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx29qk93fjpmr4x0mc7ydpta.jpg?v=a627513225","LsPP.9j[~oxtWBa|t6ay^*oeD*ay",2015,492,[254],{"id":255,"slug":256,"name":257},"01kx29qk8y04cdvt3xnjpbqg2v","robert-douglas-fairhurst-giq2","Robert Douglas-Fairhurst",[259,260],{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},{"id":261,"name":262,"slug":263,"is_fiction":14},220,"Victorian","victorian",[],{"pace":166,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":266,"themes":268,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[267,113],"intellectual",[],{"id":270,"slug":271,"title":272,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":273,"cover_blurhash":274,"first_publish_year":275,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":10,"page_count":276,"authors":277,"genres":282,"series":288,"enrichment":289},"01kwzr5xjxkqhrg7v5b8jpqztk","soul-survivor-olpd","Soul Survivor","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzr5xmbpe0zpm4zr20yzpan.jpg?v=b929687bba","LSHKC8I=Iq%1}TW;R-n%AHxFf$NH",2001,336,[278],{"id":279,"slug":280,"name":281},"01kpcdb64ffxnn3gkgrfepqq0c","philip-yancey-1dsy","Philip Yancey",[283,284],{"id":24,"name":25,"slug":26,"is_fiction":15},{"id":285,"name":286,"slug":287,"is_fiction":15},107,"Christianity","christianity",[],{"pace":166,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":290,"themes":291,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[112,113],[],{"id":293,"slug":294,"title":295,"description":296,"primary_cover_url":297,"cover_blurhash":298,"first_publish_year":299,"community_rating_avg":300,"community_rating_count":150,"page_count":301,"authors":302,"genres":307,"series":312,"enrichment":313},"01kx27x0zfy7717e25mtdap2qb","notes-on-a-silencing-su72","Notes on a Silencing","\"When the elite St. Paul's School came under state investigation after extensive reports of sexual abuse on campus, Lacy Crawford thought she'd put behind her the assault she'd suffered decades before, when she was fifteen. Still, when detectives asked for victims to come forward, she sent a note. With her criminal case file reopened, she saw for the first time evidence that corroborated her memories. Here were depictions of the naïve, hardworking girl she'd been, a chorister and debater, the daughter of a priest; of the two senior athletes who assaulted her and were allowed to graduate with awards; and of the faculty, doctors, and priests who had known about Crawford's assault and gone to great lengths to bury it. Now a wife, mother, and writer living on the other side of the country, Crawford learned that police had uncovered astonishing proof of an institutional silencing years before, and that unnamed powers were still trying to block her case. The slander, innuendo, and lack of adult concern that Crawford had experienced as a student hadn't been the imagined effects of trauma, after all: these were the actions of a school that prized its reputation above anything, even a child. This revelation launched Crawford on an extraordinary inquiry into the ways gender, privilege, and power shaped her experience as a girl at the gates of America's elite. Her investigation looks beyond the sprawling playing fields and soaring chapel towers of crucibles of power like St. Paul's, whose reckoning is still to come. And it runs deep into the channels of shame and guilt, witness and silencing, that dictate who can speak and who is heard in American society.

Lit Hub \"Gripping and gloriously written.\" — Elle \"Utterly unforgettable.\" — NYLON \"Unnervingly satisfying.\" — Oprah Magazine \"Deeply compassionate.\" —NPR.org \"Truly stunning.\" — Cosmopolitan Acclaimed literary essayist T Kira Madden's raw and redemptive debut memoir is about coming of age and reckoning with desire as a queer, biracial teenager amidst the fierce contradictions of Boca Raton, Florida, a place where she found cult-like privilege, shocking racial disparities, rampant white-collar crime, and powerfully destructive standards of beauty hiding in plain sight. As a child, Madden lived a life of extravagance, from her exclusive private school to her equestrian trophies and designer shoe-brand name. But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls is equal parts eulogy and love letter. It's a story about trauma and forgiveness, about families of blood and affinity, both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful.

A deft indictment of the marital ideal, as well as a celebration of the dissent that constitutes adultery, delivered in pointed daggers of prose” (The New Yorker). Who would dream of being against love? No one. Love is, as everyone knows, a mysterious and all-controlling force, with vast power over our thoughts and life decisions. But is there something a bit worrisome about all this uniformity of opinion? Is this the one subject about which no disagreement will be entertained, about which one truth alone is permissible? Consider that the most powerful organized religions produce the occasional heretic; every ideology has its apostates; even sacred cows find their butchers. Except for love. Hence the necessity for a polemic against it. A polemic is designed to be the prose equivalent of a small explosive device placed under your E-Z-Boy lounger. It won’t injure you (well not severely); it’s just supposed to shake things up and rattle a few convictions.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24mzg8wfnnbds3jgb3r4k3.jpg?v=48cfb2aea4","L7P?{s=|u3*I-Ua1XlTI.RtlnOrr",2004,224,[446],{"id":447,"slug":448,"name":449},"01kx24mzg14wnwr840tjk0bw10","laura-kipnis-qoft","Laura Kipnis",[451,455,456],{"id":452,"name":453,"slug":454,"is_fiction":15},86,"Essays","essays",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":15},{"id":457,"name":458,"slug":459,"is_fiction":15},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":74,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":462,"themes":465,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[463,464],"thought-provoking","satirical",[],{"id":467,"slug":468,"title":469,"description":470,"primary_cover_url":471,"cover_blurhash":472,"first_publish_year":473,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":10,"page_count":474,"authors":475,"genres":480,"series":487,"enrichment":488},"01kx26w4ztwmytmkmfesv4xyt2","black-owned-gol2","Black-Owned","**L.A. Times Book Prize Finalist** **A November LibraryReads Pick** Longtime NBC News reporter Char Adams writes a deeply compelling and rigorously reported history of Black political movements told through the lens of Black-owned bookstores, which have been centers for organizing from abolition to the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter. In Black-Owned, Char Adams celebrates the living history of Black bookstores. Packed with stories of activism, espionage, violence, community, and perseverance, Black-Owned starts with the first Black-owned bookstore, which an abolitionist opened in New York in 1834, and after the bookshop’s violent demise, Black book-lovers carried on its cause. In the twentieth century, civil rights and Black Power activists started a Black bookstore boom nationwide. Malcolm X gave speeches in front of the National Memorial African Book Store in Harlem—a place dubbed “Speakers’ Corner”—and later, Black bookstores became targets of FBI agents, police, and racist vigilantes. Still, stores continued to fuel Black political movements. Amid these struggles, bookshops were also places of celebration: Eartha Kitt and Langston Hughes held autograph parties at their local Black-owned bookstores. Maya Angelou became the face of National Black Bookstore Week. And today a new generation of Black activists is joining the radical bookstore tradition, with rapper Noname opening her Radical Hood Library in Los Angeles and several stores making national headlines when they were overwhelmed with demand in the Black Lives Matter era. As Adams makes clear, in an time of increasing repression, Black bookstores are needed now more than ever. Full of vibrant characters and written with cinematic flair, Black-Owned is an enlightening story of community, resistance, and joy.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26w50cmeg92rs617tqncyb.jpg?v=39cf1d6e73","LDNv3QwG}P%1i^F$Vro#}%NHJXRO",2025,305,[476],{"id":477,"slug":478,"name":479},"01kx26w5074ybv35fhnesr9fzb","char-adams-pd95","Char Adams",[481,485,486],{"id":482,"name":483,"slug":484,"is_fiction":14},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":15},{"id":161,"name":162,"slug":163,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":74,"complexity":7,"audience":76,"mood":489,"themes":490,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[112,113],[],[]]
