The first work for younger readers to describe the true history of racial mixing in America, it exposes how desperately some people have fought to guard our racial borderlines. Gary Nash, a past president of the Organization of American Historians, has been instrumental in rethinking how history should be taught in schools. Now, starting with John Rolfe and Pocahontas, pausing to compare the United States with Canada and Mexico, and ending with his own multiracial classrooms, he shows how racial mixing, and the fear of it, is at the heart of American history.

Book excerpt: Let me list the reasons why we cannot be together... He is ten years older than me. He is practically family. And he is also my father's business associate. Amelia Edwards, the daughter of mogul Lex Edwards, is beginning her adult life. Away from home, she's studying law at Yale and has the freedom of doing whatever she pleases without her controlling father watching her every move. Family always comes first in the Edwards' household. So, when her aunt insists Amelia visit her son, Will Romano, she does so out of obligation. The last time she saw him was years ago. But how terrible could it be? They had spent countless summers together, and her parents often referred to him as a son. What she didn't expect was a devastatingly sexy man-that is, if you can see past his cocky behavior. Will is an arrogant CEO with only one thing on his mind-becoming the next billionaire. The rules are simple-they need to keep the affair hidden from their families. Everything goes smoothly until Will is offered something he can't refuse. Lex Edwards is going to make Will a billionaire, and all he needs to do is give up the one thing money can't buy...

Book excerpt: Violet Carmichael knew her second year of college would be tough, but nothing could have prepared her for what was about to happen... Violet's goal is clear-to finish college and work alongside her father and uncle at their family business-but she has one major problem. The dreaded Professor Torres, head of the Architectural Department at Tulane, has a reputation as one of the toughest teachers on campus. Violet has heard more than once that he can be a downright jerk, but she's determined to not let him get in her way. He might be a successful professor, but his personal life is nothing short of a mess... Diego Torres has the worst track record when it comes to women-which is why when he first lays eyes on his new student, he assumes she's like all the other superficial Barbie dolls he's always been attracted to. But it only takes a few encounters for him to realize he couldn't have been more wrong, and the more time he spends with Violet, the more he desires her in a way no professor should desire a student. Sometimes it's impossible to walk away, even when there's so much at stake... After desperately trying avoid crossing that thin ethical line, Diego and Violet are no longer able to deny the sexual tension between them and risk everything, falling into an all-consuming, passionate relationship. But when outsiders threaten to destroy it all, Diego has no choice but to make a life-altering decision for himself and the woman he is forbidden to love. As lines between student and professor begin to blur, the consequences might end up destroying them both...

Book excerpt: “Convincing tradecraft, coupled with a plausible look at the inner life of a spy with a license to kill, will remind readers of the best of John le Carré.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Yogev Ben-Ari has been sent to St. Petersburg by the Mossad, ostensibly to network and set up business connections. His life is solitary, ordered, and lonely—until he meets Anna. Neither is quite what they seem to be, but while her identity may be mysterious, there is no doubt about the love they feel for each other. But the impassioned affair is not part of the Mossad plan. The agency must hatch a dark scheme to drive the lovers apart. Soon what began as a quiet, solitary mission becomes a perilous exercise in survival, and Ben-Ari has no time to discover the truth about Anna’s identity before his employers act . . . “The novel has a solid sense of intrigue and suspense, and its depiction of the world of international espionage feels accurate (as it should, since the author is a former Mossad agent). The characterizations are precise, too: these aren’t stick figures in a spy story but real people in a real environment. A nice blend of classic spy-novel conventions with a thoroughly contemporary setting.” —Booklist (starred review)

Book excerpt: WINNER, TWO INTERNATIONAL LATINO AWARDS: BEST YOUNG ADULT NON-FICTION & BEST SELF-HELP Recipient of the 2009 Reader Views Literary Award: Non-fiction, Multicultural Division Child abuse is beyond the realm of reasonable people, yet it happens far too often. How does a child process abuse? What gives a child the courage to face daily humiliation, pain, and suffering? The damage for many children is beyond repair, and often opens up a lifetime of heartache and shame. As a child, Al Rivera endured the daily verbal and physical abuse of the one person who should have showered him with love: his mother, and from foster parents who took her place in raising him until he was eighteen. Despite daily abuse, however, Al Rivera faced each new day with a smile and with the excitement of a schoolboy counting the minutes until recess. Yet, Al was not a schoolboy when he found his joy. He was a barefoot shoeshine boy, from the age of four to eight, walking miles every day to find customers on city streets. Downtown Phoenix, Arizona became Al Rivera's playground, his source of happiness, where life was as real as the dumpster food that kept him alive. Al's daily search for food was just another game to him. Yet, unlike many children who grow up on the streets, Al Rivera overcame all odds to excel in school, sports, and business. He became the Number One minority masonry business in Arizona. His successful climb to the top is the subject of his next book. The Barefoot Shoeshine Boy will touch your heart like no other book. Its stories of a young boy's triumph over abuse and adversity will inspire, and its little chapter lessons will offer insights into the power of the human spirit to survive.
