bell hooks
Renowned visionary and theorist bell hooks began her exploration of the meaning of love in American culture with the critically acclaimed All About Love: New Visions. She continued her national dialogue with the bestselling Salvation: Black People and Love. Now hooks culminates her triumphant trilogy of love with Communion: The Female Search for Love. Intimate, revealing, provocative, Communion challenges every female to courageously claim the search for love as the heroic journey we must all choose to be truly free. In her trademark commanding and lucid language, hooks explores the ways ideas about women and love were changed by feminist movement, by women's full participation in the workforce, and by the culture of self-help. Communion is the heart-to-heart talk every woman -- mother, daughter, friend, and lover -- needs to have.

"The plot thickens...<br/><br/>Book two of the FATHER OF LIES trilogy picks up almost immediately after the first book ends. The events of RITUAL are being investigated by Detective Marvin McKay. After a mysterious stranger shows up with a clue that could crack the case wide open, McKay has no choice but to follow the baleful breadcrumbs into the darkness...<br/><br/>I enjoyed this entry a little more than RITUAL. This novella answered a lot of the questions I had after reading the first one. We learn more about Father's plans and the cast got a little larger. And while this middle book felt like it focussed on moving the story forward by building the world out, that doesn't mean Stred wasn't able to fit in some creepy and very gross scenes. This volume has the content warning in front too. Though I had a better idea of what I was in for this time, there is sill plenty of ickiness and uncomfortable scenes, so keep that in mind.<br/><br/>The way this book ends makes me want to read book three immediately! I have to know!<br/><br/>Thanks to Richard Martin for putting this read-along together."
