A story about the families which live under the safe protection of an immigrant built house. From heartache to triumps, this story has twists and turns to enlighten any spirit.
At 21, Nicole has struggled with bulimia for six years. Desperate to overcome her addiction, or so she thinks, she seeks out Jake, a therapist, for help. She quickly learns her relationship with B- the persona created to embody this "thing" she fights with constantly - involves more than she anticipated. Yet, life doesn't wait for Nicole to overcome her problems and simultaneously bombards her with the stress of an end-of-year Christmas party, everyday eating worries, and a family vacation to London jeopardizing her grade in a class with an unforgiving professor. Suddenly, Nicole find her world flipped upside down...or maybe just temporarily sideways and backwards...and consumed by friends, family, school, therapy, and the ever-present, sometimes ironic, occasionally funny but usually just annoying voice of B inside her head. The question becomes, can she finally live without him? Nicole's story is a supportive, honest, reflective, and occasionally humorous look at what it takes to overcome an eating disorder.

Stephanie Day Powell illuminates the myriad forms of persuasion, inducement, discontent, and heartbreak experienced by readers of Ruth. Writing from a lesbian perspective, Powell draws upon biblical scholarship, contemporary film and literature, narrative studies, feminist and queer theories, trauma studies and psychoanalytic theory to trace the workings of desire that produced the book of Ruth and shaped its history of reception. Wrestling with the arguments for and against reading Ruth as a love story between women, Powell gleans new insights into the ancient world in which Ruth was written. Ruth is known as a tale of two courageous women, the Moabite Ruth and her Israelite mother-in-law Naomi. As widows with scarce means of financial or social support, Ruth and Naomi are forced to creatively subvert the economic and legal systems of their day in order to survive. Through exceptional acts of loyalty, they, along with their kinsman Boaz, re-establish the bonds of family and community, while preserving the line of Israel’s great king David. Yet for many, the story of Ruth is deeply dissatisfying. Scholars increasingly recognize how Ruth’s textual “gaps” and ambiguities render conventional interpretations of the book’s meaning and purpose uncertain. Feminist and queer interpreters question the appropriation of a woman’s story to uphold patriarchal institutions and heteronormative values. Such avenues of inquiry lend themselves to questions of narrative desire, that is, the study of how stories frame our desires and how our own complex longings affect the way we read.

A ROUGH TRADE, THE TIMES, CLASH BOOK OF THE YEARThe dramatic story of Solange: a musician and artist whose unconventional journey to international success was far more important than her family name. 'Why Solange Matters is a significant and sober treatise on popular music . . . This book is more than necessary.'THURSTON MOORE'The author's prose sparkles . . . This is a book about what freedom could look like for Black women.'CALEB AZUMAH NELSON, OBSERVER'Invigorating . . . much more than a dry thesis and at times something nearer to personal reverie.'IAN PENMAN, LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS'A love letter to quirkly black creatives . . . [Phillips'] vibrant writing reminds us how Solange lit "the flame of creativity" within many Black women.' gal-demGrowing up in the shadow of her superstar sister, Beyoncé, and defying an industry that attempted to bend her to its rigid image of a Black woman, Solange Knowles has become a pivotal musician and artist in her own right.In Why Solange Matters, Stephanie Phillips chronicles the creative journey of Solange, a beloved voice of the Black Lives Matter generation. A Black feminist punk musician herself, Phillips addresses not only the unpredictable trajectory of Solange's career but also how she and other Black women see themselves through the musician's repertoire. First, she traces Solange's progress through an inflexible industry, charting the artist's development up to 2016, when the release of her third album, A Seat at the Table, redefined her career. With this record and, then, When I Get Home (2019), Phillips describes how Solange has embraced activism, anger, Black womanhood and intergenerational trauma to inform her remarkable art.Why Solange Matters not only cements the subject in the pantheon of world-changing twenty-first-century musicians, it introduces its writer as an important new voice.
