What would you do if you were the son of the last great Martian Hunter? You'd save the world from the Martians that are robbing children of their souls, that's what.

While delivering food for her family's bed and breakfast, she turns onto a desolate dirt road and drives straight into her destiny.It's on this isolated country lane that the damaged girl meets a strangely familiar old couple and two mysterious young men. Together the group fights the demons that surround Grace, and they teach her what it means to let her light shine."Illuminating Gracie" is, at once, a metaphorical tale of the fight between good and evil and a spiritual saga of one girl's journey from darkness into the light.

Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism
by James W. Loewen
Genres: History, Nonfiction, Race, Sociology, American History, Social Justice, Politics
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.27

Bestselling author of Lies My Teacher Told Me , James W. Loewen, exposes the secret communities and hotbeds of racial injustice that sprung up throughout the twentieth century unnoticed, forcing us to reexamine race relations in the United States.In this groundbreaking work, bestselling sociologist James W. Loewen, author of the national bestseller Lies My Teacher Told Me , brings to light decades of hidden racial exclusion in America. In a provocative, sweeping analysis of American residential patterns, Loewen uncovers the thousands of “sundown towns”—almost exclusively white towns where it was an unspoken rule that blacks could not live there—that cropped up throughout the twentieth century, most of them located outside of the South. These towns used everything from legal formalities to violence to create homogenous Caucasian communities—and their existence has gone unexamined until now. For the first time, Loewen takes a long, hard look at the history, sociology, and continued existence of these towns, contributing an essential new chapter to the study of American race relations.Sundown Towns combines personal narrative, history, and analysis to create a readable picture of this previously unknown American institution all written with Loewen’s trademark honesty and thoroughness.

9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press
by David Ray Griffin
Genres: History, Nonfiction, Politics, Science
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.85

In 9/11 Contradictions, David Ray Griffin shows that the official story of what happened on 9/11 is riddled with internal contradictions. Since two contradictory statements cannot both be true, it is clear that individuals and agencies articulating the official story of 9/11 have made many false statements. Congress and the press must ask which of these contradictory statements are false and why they were made.This book simply lays out the fact that these contradictions exist; it contains no theory. Therefore, politicians and journalists who deal with the issues raised herein will not be giving credence to some "conspiracy theory" about 9/11. They will simply be carrying out their duty to ask why the official story of 9/11 - arguably the most fateful event of our time - does not stand up to examination.

My Name Was Five:  A Novel of the Second World War
by Heinz Kohler
Genres: Historical Fiction, World War II, Fiction, Holocaust, War, Historical
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.08

When a private plane crashes in Florida in 1991, the surviving pilot makes the strangest of remarks. "It was World War II," he says. The National Transportation Safety Board attributes the accident to a collision with birds, but one stubborn investigator insists on going further. Before long, the investigator's inquiry reveals how the pilot's past had trailed him on his last flight and vividly brings to life a terrifying slice of history - the story of a German boy who grows up in Berlin before, during, and after the Second World War; sadistic teachers just call him Five. The boy's father, an opponent of the Nazis, ends up in a concentration camp and later in a penal regiment that marches through Russian mine fields to clear the way for regular troops. In contrast, one of the boy's uncles is a fervent Nazi in charge of cleansing Berlin of every last Jew; another uncle revels in the governance of Paris. A favorite aunt, a confidential secretary at the Gestapo, is horrified by all she knows about the "final solution." The boy's mother is the one who keeps him sane when gunfire from a strafing Spitfire kills his best friend standing right next to him on a bridge. But worse is to come: bombings and firestorms, the senseless sacrifice of children and old men in the Battle of Berlin, the Soviet occupation, along with rape, murder, hunger, and disease, and then the emergence of a new kind of tyranny yet. In the end, we come upon an unexpected twist that shows how the consequences of war can emerge decades later and in faraway places.

The Book of Extremely Common Prayer
by Nathaniel Whitten
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.60

Here’s proof that God is all ears, whether it be a matter of life or death or simply a minor traffic violation. EXTREMELY COMMON PRAYER avoids the stilted language and dated pleas of 2,000-year-old Judeo-Christian phraseology in favor of modern day petitions that talk to God as if he were truly “one of us.”Comparing your size 10 figure with Cameron Diaz? Having second thoughts about skydiving with your cousin Aaron? Why not ask God to give you a hand? EXTREMELY COMMON PRAYER is here to help.From the practical to the ethereal, from pop culture to polemics, EXTREMELY COMMON PRAYER reminds us that man is just a fallible creature with lots of wants and needs, most of which won’t be met in his time on earth. But it can’t hurt to ask.
