Book Description
Caroline Chandler and her best friend, Abby, spend a Sunday afternoon at their favorite Day Spa. They leave the spa relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated, but Carli soon discovers an unexpected result from that spa visit. A microchip capable of two-way communication has been implanted behind her right ear. When it is activated, it instructs Carli to perform private courier tasks. The tasks are simple pickup and delivery of anonymous items on behalf of anonymous clients. Over the next several months, Carli searches for the source of the unintended technology that is now taking over her life. Her search quickly takes her into the world of high-value art and antiquities. The more information she uncovers, the more confused she becomes as to the source of “the system”. Are the tasks legal? Are the tasks safe? The rewards are great, but at what personal cost? How far will she go without compromising her own integrity? Who will she trust in her search for answers? Caroline has worked in the Harvard hospitals of Boston for most of her career. She has had an interesting life of work-related travel and has met an array of scientists and researchers. But none of her experiences could have prepared her for what she is being asked to do. Spa Day is set in the present day, amid the historical sites of Boston and the Massachusetts shore, just coming out of a pandemic. The main characters are based on actual people, their experiences, and their expertise. The people that Carli meets along this journey change her life forever. Her story begs the question: What would you do?

Book Description
How did ordinary people live through the extraordinary changes that have swept across modern China? How did peasants transform themselves into urbanites? How did the citizens of Shanghai cope with the epic upheavals—revolution, war, and again revolution—that shook their lives? Even after decades of scholarship devoted to modern Chinese history, our understanding of the daily lives of the common people of China remains sketchy and incomplete. In this carefully researched study, Hanchao Lu weaves rich documentary data with ethnographic surveys and interviews to reconstruct the fabric of everyday life in China's largest and most complex city in the first half of this century.

Book Description
It is the twenty-third century and Elijah Harms is anything but ordinary. He, the one who has a special connection to light, came to New Haven City after his parents died in a conflict between naturally-born humans and the modified. War, hardship, and being the father figure to his younger siblings has made Elijah feel older than most twenty-year-olds. Despite his challenges, Elijah’s spirits are buoyed by his friendships with Honoria Eden and Endre Gran. One day as the three friends gather in the center of the city to hear who has been chosen to join the Sanctum, become a paladin, and push for peace with The Dominion, everything changes in moments. After a sudden attack by unknown forces robs the city of its baron, its peace, and many of its citizens, Elijah soon realizes that the world he once knew no longer exists. After he separates from his injured friends to check on his family, Elijah is pursued by evil mercenaries. He is their target, but why? When he is unexpectedly saved by the paladin of the Sanctum’s infantry unit, Elijah and his friends are led down a path none ever could have imagined. In this futuristic tale, a young man, his friends, and a paladin must band together to combat a group of malicious mercenaries intent on destroying their world.
