In the process, Jackie unearths the long-held secrets of her family's history-and her own. Along with James Lanier, a cousin of one of the victims, she tries to piece together the story of the boys' deaths. While trying to fulfill a request from his will, Jackie discovers that four black teenagers were killed in the store during the Watts Riots of 1965-and that the murders were never solved or reported.

"Nina Revoyr brings us a compelling story of race, love, murder and history against the backdrop of Los Angeles. A cultivated field of maize, or any other crop, is as man-made as a microchip, a magazine, or a missile. Maize appears to be a gift from nature it even comes wrapped up. And it is surrounded by a leafy husk that shields it from pests and moisture. It is packed with tasty, nutritious kernels that are larger and more numerous than those of other cereals. What embodies the bounty of nature better than an ear of corn? With a twist of the wrist it is easily plucked from the stalk with no waste or fuss. It has consisted in always cultivating the best-known variety, sowing its seeds, and, when a slightly better variety chanced to appear, selecting it, and so onwards. I have seen great surprise expressed in horticultural works at the wonderful skill of gardeners, in having produced such splendid results from such poor materials but the art has been simple, and as far as the final result is concerned, has been followed almost unconsciously. Each of us with our infinite individuality and uniqueness is how the universe perceives and explores itself. We are each a small piece of the entire puzzle. We are all connected in spite of the appearance to the contrary. We are all aspects of All That Is, the Universe, God, or whatever you want to call it. Or, if you prefer, it may be more accurate to say that Seth, Jane, and her husband Rob are different aspects of the same entity. She goes into a meditative trance and lets Seth take over. The entire book is narrated by Seth through Jane as a medium while her husband transcribes it. He has had a close connection with the author of the book, Jane Roberts (aka Rubert), in past incarnations, and due to that connection, he is able to communicate with her, and with us through her, even though he doesn’t physically exist at this moment and in this dimension in our physical reality. Seth is, like you and me, an eternal consciousness. It will give you a better understanding of the world, the reality in which we’re currently immersed, who you are, where you came from, and what the future holds…if you believe the information given, or at least consider it. I can almost guarantee reading this book will make your life better, even if you’re a staunch skeptic of everything paranormal. I realize that’s a strong statement, but I mean it. Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul is the most fascinating book I’ve ever read.

John Elder Robison is an author and frequent lecturer about his life with Asperger’s. After eighteen months of the same, Theresa had finally accepted that it would never change. With those five words, he killed the afterglow, destroyed the intimacy of the moment, and relegated the act into nothing more than a biological imperative. His words, the ones he always said after his climax, still hovered in the air between them and still, after all these months, hurt more than they should have. Theresa turned on her side to lovingly trace his profile with her eyes, yearning to touch and caress the smooth and slightly tanned skin, but she knew her touch would be rebuffed. Her husband, Alessandro, had disentangled, detached, and distanced himself from her within seconds of their mutual orgasm and lay on his back beside her, his breathing heavy and ragged. Spasms of her powerful release still violently racked her slender frame. Theresa fell back onto the mattress, her body slick with perspiration and limp with pleasure. |
