Synopsis Kamala's Way by : Dan Morain

A revelatory biography of the first Black woman to be elected Vice President of the United States. In Kamala’s Way, longtime Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Morain charts how the daughter of two immigrants born in segregated California became one of this country’s most effective power players.

Kamala’s Way is a comprehensive account of the Vice President-Elect and her history-making career.

Synopsis His Journey by : Peter Mundackal

"His Journey is the story of how life drives an individual, through twists and turns, to his final and unexpected destiny. It is also a detailed and intimate account of growing up as a middle-class Catholic boy in the Kerala of the 1950s, with the rumblings of revolutionary social change in the background. The story takes the hero from the backwoods of Kerala to Chennai and onwards to Delhi, where he falls in love only to be drowned in a life-shattering tragedy. On recovery, he discovers his real destiny, which is a spiritual one – the care of the sick and the destitute. The novel also delves into the political and religious crisis of faith of the hero. It is a highly readable chronicle, not only of an individual’s quest for meaning, but also of an era of Kerala’s history that is now largely forgotten.” - Paul Zacharia, well-known Malayalam Novelist & Short Story writer""Reading His Journey is an experience of a journey through history in which we meet the dust-covered footprints of the travellers, who have vanished behind the curtain forever, but those footprints remind us the distance we have travelled. Apart from the attractive style of storytelling, the novelist has provided a glimpse into the socio-political scenario of Kerala, the God's own country, during 1950s."" - Rafeeq Ahmed, reputed Malayalam Lyricist and Novelist ""Throughout the novel, the author spices his descriptions with quite realistic and memorable scenes… Similarly, with very brief and subtle touches, personalities of several characters are etched in the readers' memory. Written in simple English and in a flowing style, the novel makes an enjoyable reading."" - Excerpts from the Foreword by Unnikrishnan Thiruvazhiyodu

Synopsis Homewreckers by : Aaron Glantz

“[I] can’t recommend this joint enough. ... An illuminating and discomfiting read.” —Ta-Nehisi Coates "Essential reading." —New York Review of Books A shocking, heart-wrenching investigation into America’s housing crisis and the modern-day robber barons who are making a fortune off the backs of the disenfranchised working and middle class—among them, Donald Trump and his inner circle. Two years before the housing market collapsed in 2008, Donald Trump looked forward to a crash: “I sort of hope that happens because then people like me would go in and buy,” he said. But our future president wasn’t alone. While millions of Americans suffered financial loss, tycoons pounced to heartlessly seize thousands of homes—their profiteering made even easier because, as prize-winning investigative reporter Aaron Glantz reveals in Homewreckers, they often used taxpayer money—and the Obama administration’s promise to cover their losses. In Homewreckers, Glantz recounts the transformation of straightforward lending into a morass of slivered and combined mortgage “products” that could be bought and sold, accompanied by a shift in priorities and a loosening of regulations and laws that made it good business to lend money to those who wouldn’t be able to repay. Among the men who laughed their way to the bank: Trump cabinet members Steve Mnuchin and Wilbur Ross, Trump pal and confidant Tom Barrack, and billionaire Republican cash cow Steve Schwarzman. Homewreckers also brilliantly weaves together the stories of those most ravaged by the housing crisis. The result is an eye-opening expose of the greed that decimated millions and enriched a gluttonous few.
