But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she can't refuse. As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie discovers an ancient key within a seventeenth-century Bible. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written upon it: Deliverance Dane. This discovery launches Connie on a quest--to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, its pages a secret repository for lost knowledge. As the pieces of Deliverance's harrowing story begin to fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem's dark past then she could have ever imagined. Written with astonishing conviction and grace, *The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane* travels seamlessly between the witch trials of the 1690s and a modern woman's story of mystery, intrigue, and revelation.

In centering Black women's stories, two award-winning historians seek both to empower African American women and to show their allies that Black women's unique ability to make their own communities while combatting centuries of oppression is an essential component in our continued resistance to systemic racism and sexism. Daina Ramey Berry and Kali Nicole Gross offer an examination and celebration of Black womanhood, beginning with the first African women who arrived in what became the United States to African American women of today. A Black Women's History of the United States reaches far beyond a single narrative to showcase Black women's lives in all their fraught complexities. Berry and Gross prioritize many voices: enslaved women, freedwomen, religious leaders, artists, queer women, activists, and women who lived outside the law. The result is a starting point for exploring Black women's history and a testament to the beauty, richness, rhythm, tragedy, heartbreak, rage, and enduring love that abounds in the spirit of Black women in communities throughout the nation.\"--Publisher's website.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx29m31rg13yykmjjf4e92bb.jpg?v=e6113d70b8","L8IX1=IB#jxZ~QR6$$af02M{W?NH",2020,273,[449,453],{"id":450,"slug":451,"name":452},"01kx29m32624yz441v9rk3gw9t","daina-ramey-berry-vpwu","Daina Ramey Berry",{"id":454,"slug":455,"name":456},"01kx29m328854bm2scdbgmrm2s","kali-nicole-gross-91pl","Kali Nicole Gross",[458],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":86,"complexity":7,"audience":88,"mood":461,"themes":462,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[360,90],[],{"id":464,"slug":465,"title":466,"description":467,"primary_cover_url":468,"cover_blurhash":469,"first_publish_year":470,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":370,"authors":471,"genres":476,"series":488,"enrichment":489},"01kx2gve5pep99t33x3vrs874r","blood-water-paint-ntpd","Blood Water Paint","**A debut novel based on the true story of the iconic painter, Artemisia Gentileschi.** Her mother died when she was twelve, and suddenly Artemisia Gentileschi had a stark choice: a life as a nun in a convent or a life grinding pigment for her father's paint.

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,[583],{"id":584,"slug":585,"name":586},"01kx24mzg14wnwr840tjk0bw10","laura-kipnis-qoft","Laura Kipnis",[588,589,593],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},{"id":590,"name":591,"slug":592,"is_fiction":18},103,"Society","society",{"id":594,"name":595,"slug":596,"is_fiction":18},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":86,"complexity":7,"audience":88,"mood":599,"themes":601,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[549,600],"satirical",[],{"id":99,"slug":100,"title":101,"description":102,"primary_cover_url":103,"cover_blurhash":104,"first_publish_year":105,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":106,"authors":603,"genres":605,"series":608,"enrichment":609},[604],{"id":109,"slug":110,"name":111},[606,607],{"id":114,"name":115,"slug":116,"is_fiction":18},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":120,"complexity":7,"audience":88,"mood":610,"themes":611,"setting_period":7,"summary":102,"content_warnings":7},[122,123],[],{"id":613,"slug":614,"title":615,"description":616,"primary_cover_url":617,"cover_blurhash":618,"first_publish_year":470,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":619,"authors":620,"genres":628,"series":631,"enrichment":632},"01kx2hknpck99xtm4jzakhytfm","well-read-black-girl-qynk","Well-Read Black Girl","\"Remember that moment when you first encountered a character who seemed to be written just for you?

From the author of the sensational bestseller I Was Told There'd Be Cake comes a new book of personal essays brimming with all the charm and wit that have earned Sloane Crosley widespread acclaim, award nominations, and an ever-growing cadre of loyal fans. In Cake readers were introduced to the foibles of Crosley's life in New York City-always teetering between the glamour of Manhattan parties, the indignity of entry-level work, and the special joy of suburban nostalgia-and to a literary voice that mixed Dorothy Parker with David Sedaris and became something all its own. Crosley still lives and works in New York City, but she's no longer the newcomer for whom a trip beyond the Upper West Side is a big adventure. She can pack up her sensibility and takes us with her to Paris, to Portugal (having picked it by spinning a globe and putting down her finger, and finally falling in with a group of Portuguese clowns), and even to Alaska, where the \"bear bells\" on her fellow bridesmaids' ponytails seemed silly until a grizzly cub dramatically intrudes. Meanwhile, back in New York, where new apartments beckon and taxi rides go awry, her sense of the city has become more layered, her relationships with friends and family more complicated. As always, Crosley's voice is fueled by the perfect witticism, buoyant optimism, flair for drama, and easy charm in the face of minor suffering or potential drudgery. But in How Did You Get This Number it has also become increasingly sophisticated, quicker and sharper to the point, more complex and lasting in the emotions it explores. And yet, Crosley remains the unfailingly hilarious young Everywoman, healthily equipped with intelligence and poise to fend off any potential mundanity in maturity.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2699cn2hcq82s87dkyr84f.jpg?v=c04b44656e","L34.0aE2oyM{~Ut6M{WC?GbFkBRj",2010,281,[645],{"id":646,"slug":647,"name":648},"01kp6bp47w9safdqgdwwkjyevb","sloane-crosley-poem","Sloane Crosley",[650,654],{"id":651,"name":652,"slug":653,"is_fiction":17},119,"Humor","humor",{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":86,"complexity":7,"audience":88,"mood":657,"themes":660,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[658,659,123],"funny","lighthearted",[],[]]
