Written by the three co-founders of CARE for AIDS-a faith-based non-profit providing social and medical support for adults living with HIV/AIDS in East Africa-Beyond Blood: Hope and Humanity in the Forgotten Fight Against AIDS is the true-life account of how Justin T. Miller, a Vanderbilt undergraduate living a charmed life in America, came to reconsider his whole life's purpose after a mission trip to Kenya, where he met locals Duncan Kimani Kamau and Cornel Onyango Nyaywera. The story begins as the account of Miller's student-led documentary on the HIV/AIDS crisis in East Africa, and quickly evolves into the origin story of grassroots non-profit CARE for AIDS. Although the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS touch the lives of these three men in harrowing ways during the course of Beyond Blood, their message remains inspirational, buoyed by their faith and Miller's belief in the moral imperative of Americans to support disenfranchised communities around the world.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. An Inspiring and Often Humorous Rags-to-Riches Story With rare humor and the instincts of a born storyteller, George A. Santino describes his rise from rags to riches through a series of adventures that begin in Philadelphia's violent Tasker Street projects where he dodges his alcoholic father's fits of temper, fishes for rats, and sells tomatoes from the back of a truck. His escapades continue as he opens a sports bar with no walls in North Tampa, curses out a drill sergeant in Fort Jackson, and battles a hiring manager to get a job in Menlo Park that he fully intends to turn down.  Santino's adventures culminate when he enjoys a long, successful career with Microsoft, builds a family, loses (and regains) a small fortune along the way, and triumphs over a freak spinal injury that doctors predicted would prevent him from ever working again before his thirtieth birthday. Throughout, Santino shares his perspectives on business and mentorship and stresses, by example, his central lesson: No matter what life throws at you, get back up.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. When she secures a marketing job in New York, Alexa has high hopes. But her newfound freedom from living at home with her father is cut short when her estranged twin sister Beth shows up at the doorstep of her tiny apartment, after a long stint in a psychiatric setting. Alexa too has spent time at the Weinstein Center, and as the reader is slowly clued in on why she was sent there in the first place, the suspense in author Jessica Bidonde's thriller, Killer Content, deepens. As questions mount and secrets unfold, revealing the dark shared history of the sisters, the page-turner picks up speed. How is it that Alexa has kept the dark secret of their mother's death at the hands of her sister Beth? What secrets lie in Alexa's past that would compel her to cover up the truth with the story of suicide? Or was the murder really a suicide, after all? Things get more complicated when Alexa's new boyfriend, Curt, moves in. When Beth kills Curt upon his discovery of Alexa's journal, readers learn that Beth isn't Beth at all, but Alexa's split personality. Alexa has in fact killed her twin as a child, and for that reason was never convicted. Now, the emotional turmoil and trauma has finally caught up with her. Curt certainly isn't innocent either, yet he is also a victim of social media. A compelling revolving point-of-view, shifting between the two sisters, slowly reveals each side of the story, until the story becomes one-a fascinating plot construction in Jessica Bidonde's debut novel. …

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Charitable giving is on the rise in America. Despite the lingering effects of the economic downturn, Americans continue to give generously of their time, talent, and money - more than $335 billion in 2013, a 4.4% increase from 2011. What's more, the bulk of that charitable giving - 72% - came not from large foundations or corporations, but from individuals making small gifts. For those with passion for a cause and a generous spirit, it's vitally important that they leverage their gift in the right way in order to have the greatest impact possible. In her first book Every Gift Matters, Carrie Morgridge shares inspiring stories of powerful gifts in action showing readers how to turn the act of giving into a vehicle for positive change. Drawing on 15 years of experience supporting causes that align with her passions through gifts, Morgridge demonstrates how a smart strategy, high expectations, a deep network, and hands-on personal involvement will ensure that one's gift is compounded over time to have the biggest impact possible. "Each person and every gift can make a difference," writes Morgridge. "Whoever you are, no matter how much or how little you have, your gift matters. The smallest, seemingly unimportant, donation can transform a life. And the best news is that giving transforms two lives: the one who receives and the one who gives." Through her role as Vice President of The Morgridge Family Foundation, Morgridge has learned what works - and what doesn't - when it comes to giving. She argues that in order to ensure meaningful and lasting change, a gift must be more than simply a grant of money. The giver must assess whether the program is the right fit, work hand-in-hand with the key leaders on strategy, develop a plan for making the endeavor sustainable, and ensure that their gift can be leveraged to have a bigger impact on the community. By sharing real-life stories of how this hands-on approach to giving has transformed lives - including her own - Morgridge inspires others to believe that they can also make a difference in their community, no matter the size of their gift.…
