For eons prophesies of disasters leading to the end of the world failed to come to fruition. That changed when an enormous asteroid struck the planet causing numerous natural disasters, which left much of civilization in utter ruins. The few remaining survivors would come to know this time as “The Big Apocalyptic Event.” Almost two decades later, barbaric people called “Nomads” now roam the decimated and virtually abandoned cities during the daylight. However, come nightfall, they run for cover and scatter into their hiding holes. The night belongs to something else. A mysterious threat from above looms over the desolated cityscapes scouting for signs of life. Why? No one knows. A young female survivor named Evangelina must find a way to survive this post-apocalyptic world, and she must do so alone.

"This small book is not a biographical sketch nor an essay but a condensed form of a 'compte rendu' about my experiences in the United States and about the events which have taken place following my resignation from my post as the ambassador to the White House of Haile Sellasie, Emperor of Ethiopia. Its prupose is to examine life in exile as it is in various conditions and to share my views with the reader who has a real concern about the social and political problems of our time"--Author's preface.

Facing public criticism, peer hostility, and widespread disapproval, would you compromise your principles to blend in with the crowd, or would you stand for what you believe? On July 31, 2020, the Orlando Magic starting forward Jonathan Isaac was the lone NBA player not to kneel for the national anthem amid a league-wide demonstration in support of Black Lives Matter. Standing alone, knowing the scrutiny to come, Jonathan had a peace he at one time never could have imagined possible. In Why I Stand, Jonathan shares the journey of how—through a series of divine connections and a willingness to follow Christ—his fear and insecurity-driven life was transformed into one of confidence and purpose. From his childhood in the Bronx to his high school years in Florida, from rail-skinny freshman at FSU to top draft pick in the NBA, Jonathan uses his life story to illuminate the freedom and peace found in the love of Jesus Christ. More than the story of an NBA player’s transformation from man on the court to man of God, Why I Stand is a testament to His love, power, and grace that extends to us all. This book is a discovery that no matter your level of confidence today, God’s strength will develop in your weakness. That courage is found in trusting that God is greater than your fears. As Jonathan takes you through the experiences that drove his decisions, he offers insight and inspiration to help you to grow to a point where standing alone is better than not standing at all.

The former Sex & Relationships Editor for Cosmopolitan and host of the wildly popular comedy show Tinder Live with Lane Moore presents her poignant, funny, and deeply moving first book. Lane Moore is a rare performer who is as impressive onstage—whether hosting her iconic show Tinder Live or being the enigmatic front woman of It Was Romance—as she is on the page, as both a former writer for The Onion and an award-winning sex and relationships editor for Cosmopolitan. But her story has had its obstacles, including being her own parent, living in her car as a teenager, and moving to New York City to pursue her dreams. Through it all, she looked to movies, TV, and music as the family and support systems she never had. From spending the holidays alone to having better “stranger luck” than with those closest to her to feeling like the last hopeless romantic on earth, Lane reveals her powerful and entertaining journey in all its candor, anxiety, and ultimate acceptance—with humor always her bolstering force and greatest gift. How to Be Alone is a must-read for anyone whose childhood still feels unresolved, who spends more time pretending to have friends online than feeling close to anyone in real life, who tries to have genuine, deep conversations in a roomful of people who would rather you not. Above all, it’s a book for anyone who desperately wants to feel less alone and a little more connected through reading her words.
