Book excerpt: When she was twenty, Patricia Reis’s mother asked, “What about your spiritual life?” Years later, this question drives her midlife quest to reconcile the desires of her body with the mandates of her spirit. Motherlines is a candid and compelling story of sex with men and with women, of celibacy, illegal abortions, making vows and breaking them, dreams, body wisdom, creative ambition, and inspiring relationships with memorable characters. This unflinching memoir illuminates the unvarnished truth of growing up female in the 1980’s a rich and fertile period in American history when gender roles were undergoing a revolution, a time that includes feminism, the women’s spirituality movement and liberation theology. In her soul-searching quest for meaning, and longing for maternal connection, Reis discovers an unlikely confidante in her aunt, a free-spirited Franciscan nun. Their letters and relationship are a thread that weaves throughout this memoir – an increasingly intimate and honest exchange between two women who are living very different lives yet are both kin and kindred spirits. A spiritual journey and a creative tour de force, this memoir is a potent and tender love song to the Motherlines that connect us all.

Book excerpt: In which Justine learns the meaning of “blue Christmas” has nothing to do with melancholy As a justice-meting daughter of Saturn and newly-minted lawyer, Tina Clancy is looking forward to a peaceful holiday in the Zone, her chemically-enhanced neighborhood in Baltimore's industrial area. She knows to expect a healthy dose of crazy. Sparkling holiday lights that spontaneously combust—check. Garden gnomes swimming in sauna-like snow melt—check. But when a blue blob crawls out of the red-hot sewer—that's a bridge too far. Tina is suddenly immersed in exorcising a malevolent ghost, stopping the chemical plant from bulldozing her neighbors, and banishing endangered tourists from her increasingly peculiar home. At the same time, she's trying to figure out whether her drop-dead sexy client, Andre Legrande, is a gift-wrapped present or a stocking full of coal. Oh— and Tina just may have accidentally opened a gateway to Hell. Saturn’s Daughters series in order: Boyfriend From Hell Damn Him to Hell Giving Him Hell

Book excerpt: In which Tina learns she can be a Fury meting out justice, or a lawyer, not both Tina Clancy’s post-bar-exam celebration erupts in a melee after poisonous pink particles leave her neighbors inexplicably pummeling each other, then keeling over, comatose. Her home in Baltimore’s already-weird Zone has been contaminated once by Acme Chemical. Now the company is at it again, ferrying the unconscious bodies of friends to a notorious experimental lab instead of to the hospital. After being accidentally damned to hell, Tina’s ex-boyfriend Max is back—but not for long if his demon grandmother has her way. If that’s not frightening enough, Tina has to prevent her dangerously immoral boss Andre from turning her new home into a battleground in his war with Acme—or from turning his guns on Max. As a daughter of Saturn, Tina has the power to dispense justice, but her gift often comes with disastrous consequences. Only this time, Tina is on her own. There’s a very real chance that saving her friends will happen over her dead body. Saturn’s Daughters series in order: Boyfriend From Hell Damn Him to Hell Giving Him Hell

Book excerpt: "The book is like a dream you want to last forever" (Roberta Silman, The New York Times Book Review), now with a gorgeous new cover by the famed designer Peter Mendelsund A masterwork of W. G. Sebald, now with a gorgeous new cover by the famed designer Peter Mendelsund The Rings of Saturn—with its curious archive of photographs—records a walking tour of the eastern coast of England. A few of the things which cross the path and mind of its narrator (who both is and is not Sebald) are lonely eccentrics, Sir Thomas Browne’s skull, a matchstick model of the Temple of Jerusalem, recession-hit seaside towns, wooded hills, Joseph Conrad, Rembrandt’s "Anatomy Lesson," the natural history of the herring, the massive bombings of WWII, the dowager Empress Tzu Hsi, and the silk industry in Norwich. W.G. Sebald’s The Emigrants (New Directions, 1996) was hailed by Susan Sontag as an "astonishing masterpiece perfect while being unlike any book one has ever read." It was "one of the great books of the last few years," noted Michael Ondaatje, who now acclaims The Rings of Saturn "an even more inventive work than its predecessor, The Emigrants."

Book excerpt: Justice may be blind, but Justine sure as hell isn’t. Except for a faulty arrest record and a job in Baltimore’s radioactive Zone, Justine (Tina) Clancy leads the life of an ordinary law student. That is, until she damns her boyfriend to hell—and he goes. That’s how she learns she’s one of Saturn’s daughters, fated to bestow vigilante justice despite her determination to walk the straight and narrow. Tina refuses to accept that she sent poor Max up in flames, until he shows up in her mirror, warning her of danger. Over the objections of her immoral but sexy boss, Andre Legrande, she launches an investigation into her ex’s not-so-accidental death. Tina stalks Max's killer through the Zone, where buildings glow blue and Dumpsters dance. Always a loner, she unexpectedly acquires a posse that includes a shape-shifting chimp, an invisible teen, a Studly Do-right cop, and. . . maybe. . . her smoldering-hot boss. With Max in hell and Andre in her face, Tina juggles saving her own skin, unraveling a mystery that threatens her new friends, and learning a dangerous new meaning to studying for finals.
