Dramatic tension, humor, lyrical profundity. This is an utterly ingenious and proudly inclusive voice . . .a sensibility so urgent we find ourselves momentarily re-inventing the term Poet.

&ldquo;Riveting . .&#160; . Intensely memorable . . . Persistence, candor, and confidence are at the heart of all [Sarah Frey&rsquo;s] interactions, whether it&rsquo;s talking her way into a meeting with a reluctant fruit seller or confronting a bank that mistreats her Mexican seasonal workers.&rdquo;&mdash;The Boston Globe&ldquo;Through tragedies and setbacks, Frey has remained resolute and devoted to her business and family. Her charisma and chutzpah leap off the page.&rdquo;&mdash;Minneapolis Star Tribune&ldquo;The honesty of Frey&rsquo;s storytelling makes the book both entertaining and enjoyable. Overall, one has to appreciate the tenacity and honesty she demonstrates to overcome the obstacles and achieve remarkable business success.&rdquo;&mdash;Traverse City Business News&ldquo;A remarkable story about perseverance and innovation.&rdquo;&mdash;Forbes&ldquo;Although The Growing Season . . . is&#160;a gutsy success story, it&rsquo;s never over the top. Frey relates everything in the same matter-of-fact tone, even when she&rsquo;s describing something that doesn&rsquo;t reflect well on her. . . .&#160;It would have been so easy for Frey to sand off the rough edges, to buff this story into something shiny and sparkly. She refused&mdash;and I admire her for that.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Similar to Tara Westover&rsquo;s Educated, this part memoir, part entrepreneurial story, tells of one woman&rsquo;s success in business based on relationships of mutual trust with other farmers, accompanied by her sheer hard work. . . . The author also adds some of her thoughts on what it&rsquo;s like to be a modern farmer, which are sometimes hilarious and often endearing. She has the inimitable quality of appearing not as someone who accomplished so much at such a young age but rather a person readers will enjoy getting to know, chapter by chapter. Frey brings a breath of fresh air to both the personal memoir genre and the business world. Her writing is crisp and her personality winning. A must-read.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal (starred review)  &ldquo;Frey&rsquo;s energetic, inspiring memoir will appeal to small business owners and anyone who likes a bootstrapping success story.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly &ldquo;With earnest, effective storytelling, Frey demonstrates her character: &lsquo;impatient, driven, restless, and at time obsessive&rsquo;&mdash;and highly successful. A heart-gladdening memoir of a rare triumph over poverty.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews &#160; &#160;

How I Built a New Life--and Saved an American Farm

The Growing Season

"The narrative is hypnotic, not only in its ability to reveal socio-political situations and extreme poverty, but in the way it interweaves the stories with legends and then offers candid statements referencing world events that make the truth of the message of poverty and corruption very real."&#160;&mdash;Maya Fleischman, Foreword Reviews "Delhi is not only the capital city of India but also, arguably, the space that best represents the bewildering confusion of a country at cross-purposes with its past and future, where thousands of different groups of people try every moment to negotiate survival, well-being, success, identity, relationships, and, most of all, shortcuts to wealth. Naturally, one individual's accomplishment is often another's ruination.&#160;The Walls of Delhi, a collection of three stories by Uday Prakash, captures this gestalt with scenarios that would be completely unreal if they weren't so plausible in the maelstrom that is modern urban India. In one story, a sweeper finds a stash of money hidden away by someone trying to evade taxes, using it to take his distinctly underage lover to Agra for a glimpse of the fabled Taj Mahal. In a second story, a Dalit&mdash;a member of the oppressed "castes" in India's repulsive but extant "caste system" of discrimination on the basis of a person's lineage&mdash;finds his identity stolen by an "upper caste" man who is trying to cash in on the benefits of affirmative action. And in the third, a family tries to cure a baby of its "illness" of extreme intelligence, represented by an ever-growing head.&#160;The fiction here is a fascinating projection of reality."&#160;&mdash;Words Without Borders"You finish each piece and it&rsquo;s like a slap in the face of realization at what&rsquo;s just occurred, and you can&rsquo;t even feel the full sting until the next day or the next week when your mind has had some time to fully digest everything that&rsquo;s happened.&#160;These stories have sticking power." &mdash;Corduroy Books"The stories in this collection should be read not only because they are coming from an extremely important voice in Hindi literature, but also because they are not just stories but a profound mapping of our times&rsquo; civilisational crisIs resulting from the blend of an awfully oppressive social order and brutal imperialism."&#160;&mdash;The New Indian Express"Three...stingingly comic tales [with an] appealing mix of social realism and pungent sarcasm. Uday Prakash uses a kind of wry documentary style, combining incisive humour with gentle pathos, interspersed with occasional poetic passages, creating a new kind of narrative style that has been well caught by the translator." &mdash;Frontline&#160;(India)"Uday Prakash writes of contemporary India with bleak and unblinking scrutiny irradiated by empathy and humanity. His mastery of metaphor and allegory and the power of his style invoke a timeless culture on the cusp of change." &mdash;Namita Gokhale, founder-director of The Jaipur Literature Festival and author of&#160;The Book of Shiva "I am not particularly fond of literature that thrives only on cons of any society.&#160;Yet, although the individual stories build up on the painful and neglected aspects of Indian society, the collection as a whole stands out uniquely having a distinct and original voice. The characters are complete and very much human so that their tales keep lingering in the reader's mind even after finishing the book.&#160;In all three stories, the author has succeeded in exploring the grave subjects in an intriguing style of narration and with complete command of a language that disturbs the reader." &mdash;The Book Outline"These are compelling stories, and with his often indirect approach&mdash;the narrator squeezing his perspective and person into the story, even if it seems to have little to do directly with it&mdash;Uday Prakash adds yet another interesting layer to the writing. The injustices described can be frustrating for the powerless reader, but the pieces certainly do impress."&#160;&mdash;The Complete Review

&ldquo;Her writing was a beautiful, meaningful challenge to our conscience and our moral imagination.&rdquo; &mdash;Barack Obama &#160; "She was our conscience. Our seer. Our truth-teller.&#160;She was a magician with language, who understood the Power of words. She used them to roil us, to wake us, to educate us and help us grapple with our deepest wounds and try to comprehend them." &mdash;Oprah Winfrey &#160; &ldquo;Morrison&rsquo;s characters live with me the way that biblical figures were always in the back of my grandmother&rsquo;s mind when she needed to make a point.&rdquo; &mdash;Tayari Jones&ldquo;She wrote about what was difficult and what was necessary and in doing so she unearthed for a generation of people a kind of redemption, a kind of relief.&rdquo; &mdash; Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie  &#160;  &ldquo;Toni Morrison was a giant of her times and ours &hellip;&rdquo; &mdash;Margaret Atwood
