I am cherished

Ako, Onome,


Canadian author. "My name is Kikelomo and I am cherished! It's Kikelomo's first day of school and she is excited... and a little nervous too. But when it's time to share names in circle, Kikelomo is taken aback by the other children's cruelty about hers. When Kikelomo comes home that night, her mother and father remind her how carefully they chose her name and what it means. Kikelomo remembers that her name means "a child who is cherished" in Yoruba, the language of her mother's side of the family. It prompts her to think about all the times she feels cherished and who she is, held inside her loving Mohawk Nigerian Canadian family. When Kikelomo returns to school the next day, she can't wait to share why calling her by her name is important, because it reminds her who she is, and how everyone can pronounce it if they try. By the next day, all the children are sharing the stories of their names in a way that shows their own special connections to family and themselves. As Kikelomo says at the end of the story: "And now I will never forget... My name is Kikelomo, and I am cherished.""--

Yesteryear : a novel

Burke, Caro Claire,


Natalie Heller Mills is a traditional American woman, a beautiful wife, and a mother who sells her pioneer lifestyle of raw milk and farm fresh eggs to her millions of social media followers. Her farmhouse is charmingly rustic, her husband a handsome cowboy, her six children each more delightful than the last. So what if there are nannies and producers behind the scenes, her kitchen hiding industrial-grade fridges, and ovens, her husband the heir to a political dynasty? What Natalie's followers don't know won't hurt them. And The Angry Women? The privileged Ivy League, coastal elite haters who call her an antifeminist iconoclast? They're sick with jealousy. Because Natalie isn't simply living the good life -- she's building an empire. Until one morning she wakes up in a life that isn't hers. Her home, her husband, her children -- they're all familiar, but wrong. Her kitchen is warmed by a sputtering fire rather than electricity, her children are dirty and strange, and her soft-handed husband is suddenly a competent farmer. Carved into the wooden threshold is a date: 1855. Just yesterday Natalie was curating photos of homemade jam for her Instagram, and now she's expected to haul firewood and handwash clothes until her fingers bleed. Has she become the unwitting star of a ruthless reality show? Could it really be time travel? Is she being tested by God? By Satan? When Natalie suffers a brutal injury in the woods, she realizes two things: This is not her beautiful life, and she must escape by any means possible.

Villa Coco : a novel

Greer, Andrew Sean,


ADJUTANT DESIRED for owner of modest country house. Collection of books, objects, art such as a Picasso to be cataloged before Christmas. Duties: dictation, pruning, shopping, hunting martens. So begins the tale of our young man, an aspiring archivist determined to begin a “serious” life after an undistinguished undergraduate career notable mainly for poor choices in love. Taking up residence in the Italian countryside, he becomes the all-purpose assistant to the Baronessa, known to her friends as Coco, a defiantly youthful and naturally flamboyant woman of ninety-two. Amid a chaotic and colorful milieu of gin-swilling princesses, incomprehensible handymen, roaming boar hunters, nuns, and other local wildlife, our young man does his best to catalog the villa’s extensive collection of art and antiques—although he notices that things seem to go missing from right under his nose. Despite himself, he tumbles into an affair with a married man, complicating his future plans considerably. And when the Baronessa loses someone close to her, he becomes an unwitting accomplice in the acceleration of Coco’s great and final plan: to locate the love of her life and be reunited before it’s too late. Told with the signature wit, charm, and humanity that made Less an international phenomenon, Villa Coco is a dazzling, sun-soaked ode to life itself, a meditation on how seriously we ought to take ourselves, and a bawdy Mediterranean ballad about becoming who we’ve always wanted to be.
