Riley s upíří krví kolující v žilách a s nadpřirozeným vlkodlačím čichem na nebezpečí nosí lodičky z hadí kůže a nekompromisně se vrhá do nejnovějšího případu: má chytit vražedkyni, jejímiž obětmi jsou promiskuitní ženy z lepší společnosti a bohatí a mocní muži, s nimiž se scházely. Pro Riley však případ nabere mrazivý zvrat, když se objeví druhý zabiják, který za sebou nechává cestičku ze zohavených těl: šílený mladý upír, který si vybírá oběti na základě minulosti poznamenané tragédií. Riley ví, že má dostatek schopností i důvtipu k tomu, aby chytila dva sériové vrahy najednou… dokud jeden z nich neudeří na její vlastní pevně sevřený klan – a dokud do jejího života opět nevstoupí jeden sexy upír, aby jí pomohl při lovu. Jmenuje se Quinn. Žije snad už celou věčnost, prolil krev a dělil se o rozkoše… a je jediným mužem, nad nímž nemá Riley absolutně žádnou kontrolu…

Nyní se Riley vrhá do akce, pohrává si se svůdným – a hodně podezřelým – majitelem klubu a ocitá se uprostřed další záhady: někdo zabíjí ženy, ale dělá to beze stopy násilí. Těch několik případů je na Riley už tak akorát, jenže k tomu má ještě dva žárlivé milence: Kye Murphyho, vlkodlaka, na jehož volání slyší vlčí část Rileyiny duše, a Quinna, chladného, elegantního upíra, který má za sebou víc než tisíc let zkušeností s tím, jak splnit přání každé ženy. Zatímco Riley těká mezi dvěma sexy samci, její práce strážkyně nabírá nebezpečné obrátky. Dopadení vraha se stává otázkou života a smrti. Zvlášť když je blíž, než Riley tuší…

** Longlisted for The Center for Fiction's best debut novel of 2019 ** With the hypnotic intensity of Emily Fridlund’s The History of Wolves and Fiona McFarlane’s The Night Guest, Katherine Forbes Riley has created a mesmerizing love story, in lush, gorgeous prose, that examines art, science, and the magic of human chemistry."Teeming with lush imagery and mystical settings, and brimming with alluring magical realism, Riley’s tale is a beguiling journey of discovery and recovery.” — BooklistHaunting and lyrical, The Bobcat is Katherine Forbes Riley’s magical debut novel in which Laurelie, a young art student who suffers in the aftermath of a sexual assault, has grown progressively more isolated and fearful.

Most comfortable in the company of the child for whom she babysits, and most at ease in the woods, Laurelie has shunned any connection with her peers.One day, while exploring the woods, she and her young charge encounter an injured pregnant bobcat – and the hiker who has been following it for hundreds of miles. In the hiker and his feline companion Laurelie recognizes someone as reclusive and wary as herself. The hiker, too, finds human companionship painful to endure, yet he is drawn to wounded Laurelie the way he is drawn to the bobcat. As Laurelie moves toward recovery and reconnection she also finds her voice as an artist, and a sense of purpose, maybe even a future, comes into sight.

God is counting on his daughters to build his kingdom.This isn’t the Ruth you thought you knew. Award-winning author, Carolyn Custis James has unearthed startling new insights from a well-worn story that have life-changing implications for us today.Through careful and dynamic biblical scholarship, rediscover the story of Ruth and its characters. Naomi is no longer regarded as a bitter, complaining woman, but as a courageous overcomer. Ruth, typically admired for her devotion to Naomi, is seen as a gutsy risk-taker and a powerful agent for change among God’s people. Boaz, the Kinsman Redeemer, is repeatedly caught off-guard by Ruth’s initiatives. His partnership with her models the kind of relationships that the gospel intends for all who follow Jesus.Carolyn Custis James drills down deeper into the story where she uncovers in the Old Testament the same passionate, counter-cultural, rule-breaking gospel that Jesus modeled and taught his followers to pursue. Within this age-old story is a map to radical levels of love and sacrifice.The Gospel of Ruth vests every woman’s life with kingdom purposes and frees us to embrace wholeheartedly God’s calling. This story of two women who have lost everything contains a profound message: God created women not to live in the shadowy margins of men or of the past, but to emerge as courageous activists for his kingdom.

Rather than as a Falstaffian figure of limited intellect, Edmund Wehrle reveals Babe Ruth as an ambitious, independent operator, one not afraid to challenge baseball’s draconian labor system. To the baseball establishment, Ruth’s immense popularity represented opportunity, but his rebelliousness and potential to overturn the status quo presented a threat. After a decades-long campaign waged by baseball to contain and discredit him, the Babe, frustrated and struggling with injuries and illness, grew more acquiescent, but the image of Ruth that baseball perpetuated still informs how many people remember Babe Ruth to this day. This new perspective, approaching Ruth more seriously and placing his life in fuller context, is long overdue.

Twelve years later, Ramona is still working at the town's café, all but given up on her dream.

There's only one problem -Dylan Monroe, her first kiss and Hollywood's favorite wild child - is the star.Dylan Monroe has always lived an unconventional life, having famous rock icons for parents. But she wants to prove that she's not some chaotic, talentless nepo baby, that she has actual skills, that she's just a normal person. To do that, Dylan takes on a project at a charming lake town - she even works at the town's café (very quaint), shadowing a local waitress there (very cute), and asks her to take Dylan around to do Normal People Things.But Dylan soon realizes it's not just some small-town waitress she's getting to know - Ramona Riley is someone she's met before, someone who remembers her even more vividly. Before long, however, reality hits them, and both women must decide if the spark between them can fan the flames of their individual dreams, or if it will extinguish their light.

James Riley, author of the cult hit The Bad Trip: Dark Omens, New Worlds and the End of the Sixties, returns with another incisive and thought-provoking cultural history, turning his trenchant eye to the wellness industry that emerged in the 1970s. Concepts such as wellness and self-care may feel like distinctly 21st century ideas, but they first gained traction as part of the New Age health movements that began to flourish in the wake of the 1960s. Riley dives into this strange and hypnotic world of panoramic coastal retreats and darkened floatation tanks, blending a page-turning narrative with illuminating explorations of the era''s music, film, art and literature.Well Beings delves deep into the mind of the 70s–its popular culture, its radical philosophies, its approach to health and its sense of social crisis. It tells the story of what was sought, what was found and how these explorations helped the ''Me Decade'' find itself. In so doing, it questions what good health means today and reveals what the seventies can teach us about the strange art of being well.

"Our marriage was, from any conventional point of view, wildly implausible; and you, my dear son, are the miraculous product of this beautiful, rather crazy, and all too brief love affair." When Dylan Riley received the devastating news that his wife, Emanuela, had cancer, he turned to writing to express the anguish and disarray brought by her worsening symptoms and then her passing. Perdita, composed for their teenage son, Eamon, is the result of this attempt to represent loss. It is at once a portrait of youth, a lyrical memoir of a marriage, and a raw and moving account of bereavement.Riley describes cancer, Perdita’s central antagonist, as a pitiless opponent, draining hope of its power and reducing it to self-delusion. Its course forces a progressive foreshortening of time. Next year might be terrible, but there can be a few good months now; tomorrow will likely be bad, but let’s focus on today.In this memoir, the disease provokes a broader set of reflections on the openness, contingency, and pain of the human condition, a status defined by the context of mortality, both our own and that of those we love.

How a group of artist-mothers in postwar San Francisco refused the centuries-old belief that a woman could not make art while also raising children.For most of modern history, to be an artist and a mother was to embody a contradiction in terms. This “awful dichotomy,” as painter Alice Neel put it, pitted artmaking against caretaking and argued that the best art was made at the expense of family and futurity. But in San Francisco in the 1950s and 1960s, a group of artists gathered around Ruth Asawa (1926–2013) began to reject this dominant narrative. In Ruth Asawa and the Artist-Mother at Midcentury, Jordan Troeller analyzes this remarkable moment. Insisting that their labor as mothers fueled their labor as artists, these women redefined key aesthetic concerns of their era, including autonomy, medium specificity, and originality.Delving into the archive, where the traces of motherhood have not yet been erased from official history, Troeller reveals Ruth Asawa’s personal and professional dialogue with several other artist-mothers, including Merry Renk, Imogen Cunningham, and Sally Woodbridge. For these women, motherhood was not an essentialized identity, but rather a means to reimagine the terms of artmaking outside of the patriarchal policing of reproduction. This project unfolded in three broad areas, which also structure the book’s chapters: domesticity and decoration; metaphors for creativity; and maternal labor in the public sphere, especially in the public schools. Drawing on queer theory and feminist writings, Troeller argues that in belatedly accounting for the figure of the artist-mother, art history must reckon with an emergent paradigm of artmaking, one predicated on reciprocity, caretaking, and futurity.

"Genuinely touching, wonderfully revealing" NEW YORKERGarlic and Sapphires is Ruth Reichl''s riotous account of the many disguises she employs to dine undetected when she takes on the much coveted and highly prestigious job of New York Times restaurant critic.____________________________________________________Reichl knows that to be a good critic she has to be anonymous - but her picture is posted in every four-star, low-star kitchen in town and so she embarks on an extraordinary - and hilarious - undercover game of disguise - keeping even her husband and son in the dark. There is her stint as Molly, a frumpy blonde in an off-beige Armani suit that Ruth takes on when reviewing Le Cirque resulting in a double review of the restaurant: first she ate there as Molly; and then as she was coddled and pampered on her visit there as Ruth, New York Times food critic. Then there is the eccentric, mysterious red head on whom her husband - both disconcertingly and reassuringly - develops a terrible crush. She becomes Brenda the earth mother, Chloe the seductress and even Miriam her own (deceased) mother.What is even more remarkable about Reichl''s spy games is that as she takes on these various guises, she finds herself changed not just physically, but also in character revealing how one''s outer appearance can very much influence one''s inner character, expectations, and appetites.

Her work encourages children to explore their own imaginations and to see the beauty in the everyday world around them. The What Artists Make series of lift-the-flap books, geared toward children under the age of three, shares the different ways artists view the world. In each book, one artist’s unique method of making or outlook on creativity is explored through rhythmic sentences and photographs of artworks selected to delight and inspire. Beneath the flap, a short explanation of the artist’s practice provides added context, allowing adults to engage with the art on a deeper level and to share the knowledge with their children.
