The bestselling author of Stones from the River delivers her most ambitious and dramatic novel yet -- the unforgettable story of an endearing, but also flawed, Italian American family. In December 1953 Anthony Amedeo's world is nested in his Bronx neighborhood, his parents' Studebaker, the Paradise Theater, Yankee Stadium -- and in his imagination, where he longs for a stencil kit to decorate the windows like all the other kids on his street. Instead he gets a very different present: his uncle Malcolm's family. Malcolm is in jail for stealing -- once again -- from his latest new job, and Anthony's aunt and twin cousins settle into the Amedeos' fifth-floor walk-up. Sharing a room with girls is excruciating for Anthony, despite his affinity for the twins. But the real change in Anthony's life comes one evening when he causes the unthinkable to happen, changing each family member's life forever. Evoking all the plenty and optimism of postwar America, Sacred Time spans three generations, taking us from the Bronx of the 1950s to contemporary Brooklyn. Keenly observing the dark side of family -- and its gracefulness -- Hegi has outdone herself with this captivating novel about childhood's tenderness and the landscape of loneliness. Ultimately she reveals how the transforming power of a singular event can reverberate through a family for generations. With gravity and poise, Hegi turns her astute yet forgiving eye on the essential frailty and dignity of the human condition in this elegant and fast-paced novel.Binding Type: Paperback

Strong beginner paddle.
Color: 1 Blue
I have been using the LiberAla Pickleball Paddle for some of my beginner lessons and let me tell you—this thing is a game changer. My students gave some of their first impressions: "First off, it feels like holding a wand. A very powerful wand, mind you." "I picked it up, and suddenly I felt like I was ready for a professional tournament, even if my skills still resemble a baby giraffe on ice."
The grip is super comfy—it is a little on the bigger side, so not for the smallest hands. The lightweight design makes it easy to catch those tricky volleys. One of my students said they felt like they could send the ball soaring into the stratosphere! Or, you know, at least over the net most of the time.
As for the sweet spot, it is excellent covering most of the face of the paddle. The sound? A little on the loud side, makes a satisfying “thwack” that sounds way more impressive than it is.
Now, I can’t say we didn’t have a few cringe-worthy moments—like when one of my players tried to smash it like a pro and ended up sending the ball straight into my own face -- that's why I always wear protective goggles. Classic! But hey, if laughter is the best medicine, I might just be the healthiest pickleball player out there.
Overall, the LiberAla Paddle is a solid choice for any beginner looking to have a laugh and unleash their inner pickleball guru. Just maybe get some goggles if you’re like some of my students and have a penchant for unintentional self-harm. Happy paddle swinging!
Paddle quality:
Well made, good carbon fiber face, grip is comfortable and absorbent. Edge protector is a big plus for beginners.

Good quality and good value for money
Color: 1 Blue and 1 Orange
Love this pickleball paddle set very much because: 1, the quality is great. I’ve purchased two other paddles. The two paddles in this set are satisfied. The feeling of holding them is good and the sound when they hit the pickle balls is satisfying. It’s not heavy, probably due to the honeycomb and carbon fiber material. 2, the colors are pretty and the color patterns are good designed. It’s easy to find our paddles. 3, this set is a good value for money. It contains two paddles, four balls, and a bag. You get everything with good quality with the money for one paddle.
Overall, this pickleball paddle set has good quality and good value for money. Worth trying.

Great
Color: 1 Pro White
This new pro-level paddle is an absolute revelation, truly earning its five-star rating. My control instantly improved; dinks became effortless and drops landed precisely where I aimed them. The textured surface generates incredible spin, allowing for shots with wicked curve and dive. Power is readily available, transforming drives into piercing rockets across the court. Even during extended rallies, its balanced feel and quick handling keep me agile at the net. The sweet spot is incredibly generous, providing surprising forgiveness on less-than-perfect contact. It feels remarkably durable, shrugging off aggressive play without a scratch. This paddle doesn't just play well; it feels like a natural extension of my own hand, elevating my entire game. Seriously, if you're looking to upgrade your performance, this is the paddle you need.
