- Black joy / [electronic resource]. by Lewis-Giggetts, Tracey Michae'l.; Lewis-Giggetts, Tracey Michae'l.;
Narrator: Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts.With deeply personal and uplifting essays in the vein of Black Girls Rock , You Are Your Best Thing , and I Really Needed This Today , this is "a necessary testimony on the magic and beauty of our capacity to live and love fully and out loud" (Kerry Washington). When Tracey M. Lewis-Giggetts wrote an essay on Black joy for The Washington Post , she had no idea just how deeply it would resonate. But the outpouring of positive responses affirmed her own lived experience: that Black joy is not just a weapon of resistance, it is a tool for resilience. With this book, Tracey aims to gift her community with a collection of lyrical essays about the way joy has evolved, even in the midst of trauma, in her own life. Detailing these instances of joy in the context of Black culture allows us to recognize the power of Black joy as a resource to draw upon, and to challenge the one-note narratives of Black life as solely comprised of trauma and hardship. "Lewis-Giggetts etches a stunning personal map that follows in her ancestors' footsteps and highlights their ability to take control of situational heartbreak and tragedy and make something better out of it....A simultaneously gorgeous and heartbreaking read" ( Kirkus Reviews , starred review).Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 204494 KB).- Subjects: Electronic books.; Nonfiction.; African American Nonfiction.; Biography & Autobiography.; Sociology.;

Scot Harvath is having his best summer ever. With a cottage on the fjord, a boat, and his beautiful girlfriend Sølvi, he's got everything he could possibly want. But out of vacation days and long overdue back home, America's top spy has a decision to make-return, or submit his resignation. When his deadly past comes calling, though, he'll be left with no choice at all. Leaving his favorite Oslo café, Harvath watches as a ghost climbs out of a taxi--a man he killed years ago, halfway around the world. How is he still alive? And what is he doing in Norway? In a race against time that will take him high above the Arctic Circle, Harvath is tested in ways he has never imagined and pushed to a limit few human beings could ever endure.

If he fails, the United States and its allies will be at the mercy of one of the world's most dangerous actors.- Subjects: Spy fiction.; Thrillers (Fiction); Political fiction.; Spy stories.; Harvath, Scot (Fictitious character); Political fiction.; Man-woman relationships; Spy stories.; Spies; Enemies;
