From the author of the beloved feel-good debut The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife comes another humorous, heart-stirring novel about family, second chances, and the lengths we go for those we love, following a woman fighting to hold onto life and her older brother who's rediscovering reasons to embrace it.Retired Michelin-star chef Griff Barlow has lost his appetite. He’s done with grief, guilt and the beige slop they dare call food at Sunny Glen Aged Care Facility, where he now resides.Six decades of life have given him all the lemons he can handle, so he breaks into the nursing home kitchen to bake himself one last tart. It’s supposed to be his final meal but the act of cooking stirs a dormant joy. Soon, he’s regularly sneaking in after dark, serving up flavor and comfort to fellow residents, who, in turn, begin to come alive with each bite of Griff's delicious concoctions. Yet behind the apron is a lie so big it could destroy the one thing Griff has left to protect.Lisa, the only family and visitor Griff has, is clueless to what's happening behind the closed kitchen doors. Their sibling relationship fractured long ago, plus she has her own distractions: navigating an ADHD diagnosis in middle age, the spark of a new romance, and unexpected news that might change life as she knows it. Any hope of reconciliation between the two is long gone, buried in the silence between them.But the truth has a way of boiling over, and when secrets, soufflés, and second chances collide, Griff and Lisa may discover a recipe for forgiveness.Heartfelt and inspiring, When Lemons Give You Life is an uplifting, feel-good novel about love, forgiveness, redemption, and the joy of rediscovering what truly matters in life.

A Novel

When Lemons Give You Life

Short Cuts

The subgenre of body horror, associated with directors such as David Cronenberg and Coralie Fargeat, depicts the human body's susceptibility to disease and change. Preoccupied with anatomy, pathology, and corporeality, it portrays contagion, mutilation, mutation, and metamorphosis. As organs, growths, and pustules proliferate, so do questions about the consequences of technology, the effects of trauma, and ultimately what it means to be human. Since emerging in the 1970s, the subgenre has not only bridged grindhouse and arthouse but also increasingly taken on ageism, sexism, racism, and ableism. Xavier Aldana Reyes provides an engaging introduction to the inner workings of body horror, tracing its evolution from foundational works such as The Fly (1986) and Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989) to recent films like Raw (2016) and The Substance (2024). He argues that the subgenre's concern with the body as both anatomical reality and cultural construction links it to the interdisciplinary field of body studies, which examines the relationship between embodiment and culture. Surveying a wide range of films, Aldana Reyes shows how the transformation of the body opens paths to resist dominant understandings of identity and to imagine alternatives. Compelling and accessible, this book offers new insights for both film studies courses and general readers interested in the role the body plays in horror cinema.

Body Horror

A remarkably frank memoir about interdependence, grieving, and parenting as a queer femme that doesn't leave out the messy or the erotic Staying Power, Zena Sharman's memoir in essays, is a beautiful and honest journey of care work, grief, parenting, and chosen family in the wake of intergenerational trauma. Exploring the lessons and inheritances of being raised by survivors of complex traumas, the book challenges the notion that one must be healed in order to parent well and celebrates the transformative power of queer family-making beyond gay marriage and assimilation into the nuclear family. The book, which recounts the author's experiences of raising three children in a four-parent queer family, asks, "If leaving has helped you survive, how do you learn to stay?" Sharman finds answers in queer kinship, femme erotics, leatherdyke lineages, and the radical possibilities inherent in doing motherwork outside of motherhood, recognizing that sometimes you fight the thing you want most. Staying Power is a moving, deeply personal account of one person's journey of unlearning independence through an experiment in queer collective care.

Two rivals from opposing families fight their forbidden attraction to each other in the brand new romance from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas.Summertime is off-season in southern Florida. Families leave their homes to escape the heat, the streets are empty, and the nights are quiet. Perfect time for a little mischief while the police aren’t looking. As the middle Jaeger brother, Dallas was often lost in the shuffle growing up. Now a man, he’s prideful of his community on the wrong side of the tracks—Sanoa Bay—and aggressively protective of his land and his inner circle. He’s hungry and ready for a fight.

After four years away, he’s back, but for all his bravado, he’s got one major secret: he doesn’t want a woman. Summer is also storm season. Heat, wind, rain… And a lockdown. In a desperate bid to impress his influential father, Callum suggests a curfew to hinder their rivals in the Bay. Unfortunately, the Jaegers don’t like rules. As Dallas and Callum face off and engage, out for each other's blood, they can't stop the consuming fire between them and the outcome they already see coming... The storm of the century.

The Education of an Artist

Lin-Manuel Miranda

Video generation is rapidly becoming a key area in generative AI, combining spatial, temporal, and multimodal reasoning to produce moving images that are both coherent and creative. For many practitioners, however, understanding how these models function and implementing them remains a significant challenge. Video Generation with AI offers a straightforward guide for exploring this new terrain. Author Joseph Enochs leverages his experience leading enterprise AI projects to clarify how diffusion transformers, multimodal large language models, and spatiotemporal architectures combine to create high-quality video. Blending technical detail with practical examples, he demonstrates how to transition from isolated experiments to production-ready systems that transform creative fields, media, and human-machine collaboration. <ul><li>Understand the fundamental architectures of modern video generative models</li> <li>Train and fine-tune models using diffusion transformers and multimodal encoders</li> <li>Maintain temporal coherence and consistency across complex scenes and sequences</li> <li>Apply generative video tools to creative, industrial, and scientific workflows</li> <li>Evaluate, troubleshoot, and improve generated video quality at scale</li></ul>

A history of the dark times"So this is how liberty dies-with thunderous applause." -Senator Padmé AmidalaWhen Palpatine declared the birth of his new Empire, he expected it would stand for millennia. Instead, it lasted only 24 years. This is the story of how a tyrannical regime rose from the ashes of democracy, ruled the galaxy with an iron fist, and then collapsed into dust.It is a story of war and heroes, of the power of propaganda and the dangers of complacency. But most of all, it is a story of normal people trying to live their lives in the face of a brutal dictatorship.From the ruthlessness of Darth Vader's campaigns to the horrors of the Tarkin Initiative, this book offers fresh new insights into the dark entity at the core of Star Wars.(c) AND (TM) 2024 LUCASFILM LTD.

Routledge Critical Studies in Gender and Sexuality in Education

A bold and timely exploration of queer joy as both an experience and a method, this book offers a powerful intervention in gender and sexuality studies by theorizing queer joy not as merely pleasure, but as a radical practice shaped by failure, contradiction, grief, risk, and repair.This book draws its argument from two major research projects: a study on queering sexuality education with over 80 in-service teachers in New Brunswick called SexualityNB and Pride/Swell+, a community-based participatory project involving over 300 2SLGBTQ+ people across Atlantic Canada. It investigates not only how queer joy circulates-through art, intimacy, activism, and chosen families-but also how it fails, revealing heartbreak, exclusion, and exhaustion within queer communities. By examining failure as integral to theorizing queer joy in research and practice, the authors illuminate how breakdowns can become sites of solidarity, transformation, and worldmaking. The book advances queer joy studies, offering new ways to think about pedagogy, research ethics, and queer futurity. Through reflection, analysis, and creative praxis, the book foregrounds queer joy's messiness and entanglement with failure as a methodology for resistance and survival.This book is intended for students and researchers in gender and sexuality studies, queer theory, education, and critical sociology. It also speaks to activists and artists interested in the intersections of queer joy, failure, and community-building within academic, educational, arts, and community spaces.
