Hardback. Condition: Very Good. A gorgeously written and irresistibly intimate queer novel that follows one family across four generations to explore legacy and identity in all its forms. Longlisted for the Center for Fiction and VCU Cabell First Novel Prizes Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, Apple, and Good Housekeeping "So deeply imagined and immersive that reading it felt like an invitation: Shatter what needs to be shattered and mold your story from what's left . . . I needed this novel, both for its cathartic devastation and the hope found in its wreckage." ?The New York Times "Kaleidoscopic in its sweep, without sentimentality or showiness . . . Glassworks warrants our attention and our admiration. With its gripping turns and subtle prose, it is a near-perfect debut." ?Washington Post In 1910, Agnes Carter makes the wrong choice in marriage. After years as an independent woman of fortune, influential with the board of a prominent university because of her financial donations, she is now subject to the whims of an abusive, spendthrift husband. But when Bohemian naturalist and glassblower Ignace Novak reignites Agnes's passion for science, Agnes begins to imagine a different life, and she sets her mind to getting it. Agnes's desperate actions breed secrecy, and the resulting silence echoes into the future. Her son, Edward, wants to be a man of faith but struggles with the complexities of the mortal world while apprenticing at a stained-glass studio. In 1986, Edward's child, Novak-just Novak-is an acrobatic window washer cleaning Manhattan high-rises, who gets caught up in the plight of Cecily, a small town girl remade as a gender-bending Broadway ingénue. And in 2015, Cecily's daughter Flip-a burned-out stoner trapped in a bureaucratic job firing cremains into keepsake glass ornaments-resolves to break the cycle of inherited secrets, reaching back through the generations in search of a family legacy that feels true. With "gripping turns and subtle prose" (The Washington Post), Glassworks is a sophisticated debut that holds you in its thrall until the last page. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Beneath your feet lies an amazing gift from Nature with the potential to quickly restore your health, balance, and quality of life. This gift is the very Earth we live on. Earth is naturally equipped with a surprisingly built-in healing power that may be the most effective medicine available. Earthing, also known as grounding, is a major discovery showing that contact with this natural energy stabilizes the way the body works at the deepest level, draining it of inflammation, pain, and stress, and generating greater well-being. Over many years after a seemingly innocuous shift in the design of shoes from leather to plastics and rubber, Electron-deficit disorders developed. Electron-deficit disorders refer to a wide variety of conditions that have quietly come to interfere with our wellness. Modern research has documented disastrous shifts in our biology and health caused by a lack of contact with the surface of the Earth. Our modern lifestyles have separated us from nature's best antioxidants and from important biological rhythms. Fortunately, these shifts are easily remedied with the practice of Earthing. This discovery represents a health and healing breakthrough and has been creating a big buzz in the health world since the release of the Earthing study and book. Earthing is accessible to everyone and is as simple as walking or sitting barefoot outdoors on the ground or laying on the ground with skin contact on the earth. At any moment that you have pain, go out and try it. Your connection to Earth will knock down and knock out inflammation in your body. That's an effect with massive benefits. Inflammation is considered a primary cause or aggravator of chronic and aging-related disorders.These disorders include: -cardiovascular diseases-diabetes-arthritis-autoimmune disorders-Alzheimer's-cancer-depression-autism Within this book, you will find amazing stories of women who have overcome debilitating conditions by using this method of healing. Maybe it will even provide you and your loved ones with the same benefits.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. An enthralling, dishy novel about ambition, sexuality, and the rise of a capitalist empire in post-Gilded Age New York. "Hernan Diaz's Trust but make it gay? Narrated in the sly-eyed style of Plain Bad Heroines? I am absolutely buying what this book is selling, an epic and intimate tale of three secretly queer aspiring business titans who band together-and in the case of two of them, marry-to build an empire." -Electric Literature, Most Anticipated Queer Books for Spring 2025 At the turn of the 20th century, Vivian Lesperance is determined to flee her hometown of Utica, New York, and live a life worthy of the society pages she writes for. When she meets Oscar Schmidt, a queer middle manager at a soap company, Vivian finds a partner she can guide to build the life she wants--not least because Oscar will leave Vivian to tend to her own romances with women. But Vivian's plans require capital, so they approach Oscar's old-money rival, Squire Clancey. Together they found Clancey & Schmidt, a preeminent manufacturer of soap, perfume, and candles. When Oscar and Squire fall in love, the trio form a new kind of partnership. Vivian reaches the pinnacle of her power building Clancey & Schmidt into an empire of personal care products while operating behind the image of both men. But exposure threatens, and all three partners are made aware of how much they have to lose. For people who loved The Gilded Age and fans of Succession "who wished the show was both kinder and gayer" (Jessie Wright, Copper Dog Books), Mutual Interest is a brilliant, beguiling story of desire and power.…
