Jardine Libaire Libri
Questa autrice esplora il potere della narrazione in diverse forme, dai graffiti ai diari personali. Le sue ampie esperienze di vita, da donna delle pulizie di motel ad assistente di una profumiera, infondono nella sua scrittura profondità e autenticità. Spinta da una riverenza per la letteratura e dalla convinzione che "le lezioni più importanti della vita si imparano da coloro che abbiamo scelto di guidare", il suo lavoro approfondisce l'esperienza umana con empatia e una prospettiva unica. Tiene anche un corso di narrazione in un carcere femminile, imparando dalle detenute tanto quanto insegna. Attualmente sta elaborando un nuovo libro su un ghepardo e un adolescente sordo.
Although Elise Perez and Jamey Hyde are next-door neighbors in New Haven, they come from different worlds. Elise grew up in public housing without a father and didn't graduate from high school. Jamey is a junior at Yale, heir to a private investment bank fortune. Nevertheless, the attraction is instant, and what starts out as sexual obsession turns into something greater. The couple moves to Manhattan in search of a new life, wandering through Newport mansions and East Village dives, WASP-establishment yacht clubs, and the grimy blocks below Canal Street, fighting the forces determined to keep them apart. A beautifully written novel that captures the ferocity of young love. --

"It's springtime in Oklahoma and Ernie, an outcast in a group of outcasts, feels uneasy. The whole decrepit compound where Ernie and his fellow oddballs have been crashing has been on edge ever since a new girl arrived, a teenager named Coral unceremoniously abandoned by a minivan one afternoon. Even more mysterious, Coral doesn't say a word. When a drug lab explosion burns the compound to the ground, Ernie, Coral, and adrenaline-fueled biker couple Staci and Ray escape on a pair of motorcycles and hit the road. Shaky with fear, the four strangers find a rundown house in rural Texas: a place to stay, they tell themselves, for now.Yet to their surprise, they each take cautious steps towards new beginnings, planting seeds, and slowly, uncertainly, forming a family. But when the fire's terrible aftermath finally finds them, the group must confront the consequences of such unlikely love--the sort found only in lonely places--and their safe haven becomes a much more dangerous place"-- Provided by publisher
