Born and raised deep in the trenches of Dade County, the Gilmore crew are the epitome of a family who is strong enough to withstand whatever obstacles are thrown their way, challenged with the never-ending lessons of life, and secrets that are strong enough to shatter lifelong bonds. However, it didn't come with the promise of a yellow brick road or a map to make it out alive. The oldest of five, Ezra has 99 problems and his women are ALL of them! He takes pride in being a good role model for the family, especially his younger brothers, but Ezra isn't sure if he can maintain his leader role when life begins to get too chaotic, especially in his personal life. His selfish decisions jeopardize his dreams of being a successful business owner, causing him to lose complete control. Can the dreams of a determined man come true when drama, death, drugs, and secrets seem to be around every corner he turns? Or will Ezra be able to maintain his big brother and good guy persona through it all? The most irresponsible, Izeyah has a habit of flying by the seat of his pants and painting a façade like everything in life is so sweet until life as he knows it flips and there is nothing he can do about it. Unsettled and carrying a lofty secret, Zey is forced into a position he is nowhere near ready for, requiring him to make immediate and necessary changes in his life. Will the life lessons and newfound responsibility force Izeyah to step up and lose his irresponsible ways? Or will he slip back into his old habits and ultimately lose himself? The sour patch kid, Oliana throws hands first and probably never get around to asking questions later. Her head is deep in the streets with her homie, lover, and bae in crime. When an extremely close family member dies, her secrets are on the brink of being exposed, and she has no problem shooting up the spot without a second of hesitation. Will Oliana be able to remain strong as the world she knows takes an unexpected turn? Or will Oliana stand tall and take the blows until the very end? The most spoiled and the baby of the Gilmore crew, Amir can't keep a dime to his name. Winging it and living life on the edge, he has no aspirations or real dreams--that is until a box of secrets lands in his lap, changing his life forever. Teetering the lines of what's right and what's wrong, Amir is forced to choose between loyalty for his family and a life where the world would literally be at his fingertips, testing his love and devotion to his family in an unthinkable way. Will greed cause him to throw all caution to the wind and live a life where he has no rules but his own? Or will Amir choose his love and loyalty for his family and remain ten toes down? Marking their first collab debut, best-selling authors Zarkia, Lakia, Shania B., and K. Larry team up together to bring this awesome new series. This first installment of Miami Hood Dreams is a heart gripping, secret filled urban fiction ride that will leave readers anxious for more.

Growing up for Carlos was rough from seeing his mother work overtime to meeting only the bills, to watching his father walk out on him and his little brother at an early age and never looking back. As Carlos grew older and wiser, he stepped up to keep his little brother out the streets and in school. In the process of Carlos trying to show his brother the right way, he had plans of his own. He doesn't believe in theory's or hood tales, the only thing Carlos liked to live by is experience. That's something he's been doing since the first drug package he stole from his uncle. His overall intention was to get a couple hundred thousand then move his mother out the hood, send his little brother to college and get out the game comfortably. Because coming up he has seen and heard of the best of them fall, so dangerous games he wanted to play and he refused to let anyone get in his way, so Carlos remained very serious about his choices in life and stayed on point for his friends and foes.

This memoir is a riveting account of what it's like to be a professional firefighter, from rookie to chief officer, over the course of a 31-year career. The anecdotes are funny, sad, and grim: all serve to educate readers about a profession that many dreamed about when they were children but would never pursue or truly understand. Chief Howes provides a better understanding of the profession and respect for the men and women who protect our communities by relating his own experiences as well as those of other firefighters in some of the busiest stations in the country. The author is donating 10% of royalties to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, the nonprofit group dedicated to the development and expansion of programs to honor our fallen fire heroes and assist their families and coworkers.

In the late 90s, the music scene in Miami was at the infancy of becoming the multi-million dollar cultural and artistic force that it is today. Musicians like Pitbull, DJ Khaled, and countless others staked Miami’s claim as the newest Mecca for Hip Hop heads and graffiti artists. During this time, The Cipher was created. An independent newspaper that followed the scene and included reviews, interviews, essays, photos, and more, The Cipher was the choice source for discovering Miami’s underground. The History of Miami Hip Hop chronicles the ups and downs of this legendary rag during its short tenure. Author John Cordero presents both a memoir of his time as one of the newspaper’s creators, and an anthology of some of The Cipher’s greatest hits. Both a love letter to The Cipher as well as 1990s Miami, this narrative is an essential chapter in the history of Hip Hop’s third coast. The book features never-before-seen photos of 1990s stars RZA, Ghostface Killah, and Method Man of Wu-Tang, Andre 3000 of Outkast, Black Thought of The Roots, Phife of A Tribe Called Quest (R.I.P.), Lil' Kim, Aaliyah (R.I.P.), and artists that achieved global celebrity in the 2000s, like Destiny's Child, The Black Eyed Peas, Timbaland, DJ Khaled, and many more.

One of the Must-Read Books of 2019 According to O: The Oprah Magazine * Time * Bustle * Electric Literature * Publishers Weekly * The Millions * The Week * Good Housekeeping “There is more life packed on each page of Ordinary Girls than some lives hold in a lifetime.” —Julia Alvarez In this searing memoir, Jaquira Díaz writes fiercely and eloquently of her challenging girlhood and triumphant coming of age. While growing up in housing projects in Puerto Rico and Miami Beach, Díaz found herself caught between extremes. As her family split apart and her mother battled schizophrenia, she was supported by the love of her friends. As she longed for a family and home, her life was upended by violence. As she celebrated her Puerto Rican culture, she couldn’t find support for her burgeoning sexual identity. From her own struggles with depression and sexual assault to Puerto Rico’s history of colonialism, every page of Ordinary Girls vibrates with music and lyricism. Díaz writes with raw and refreshing honesty, triumphantly mapping a way out of despair toward love and hope to become her version of the girl she always wanted to be. Reminiscent of Tara Westover’s Educated, Kiese Laymon’s Heavy, Mary Karr’s The Liars’ Club, and Terese Marie Mailhot’s Heart Berries, Jaquira Díaz’s memoir provides a vivid portrait of a life lived in (and beyond) the borders of Puerto Rico and its complicated history—and reads as electrically as a novel.

Modern life has a tendency to trap people in cubicles, cars, and cookie-cutter suburbs. Thankfully, someone comes along now and then to remind us of the beauty that presents itself when we turn off the information feeds and turn away from the daily grind. Bill Belleville’s enchanting Salvaging the Real Florida invites readers to rediscover treasures hidden in plain sight. Join Belleville as he paddles a glowing lagoon, slogs through a swamp, explores a spring cave, dives a "literary" shipwreck, and pays a visit to the colorful historic district of an old riverboat town. Journey with him in search of the apple snail, the black bear, a rare cave-dwelling shrimp, and more. Everywhere he goes, Belleville finds beauty, intrigue, and, more often than not, a legacy in peril. Following in the tradition of John Muir, William Bartram, and Henry David Thoreau, Belleville forges intimate connections with his surroundings. Like the works of Marjory Stoneman Douglas and Archie Carr, his evocative stories carry an urgent and important call to preserve what is left of the natural world.

Robert Grainier is a day labourer in the American West at the start of the twentieth century - an ordinary man in extraordinary times. Buffeted by the loss of his family, Grainier struggles to make sense of this strange new world. As his story unfolds, we witness both his shocking personal defeats and the radical changes that transform America in his lifetime. Suffused with the history and landscapes of the American West - its otherworldly flora and fauna, its rugged loggers and bridge-builders - Train Dreams captures the disappearance of a distinctly American way of life.
