This book is dedicated to my Mother Mae Frances Bliss Hill and my Grandmother before her, Augusta Bliss. They have both been lamps unto my feet over the course of my life. They embodied the GRACE, GUTS ad GLORY required of them as both daughters and mothers. These "Women of God" have stood in the gaps all around me year after year, decade after decade. Their "walk" and example has been sheet music for my journey through every phase of my life. These women are my Angels and heroines. They are my Spiritual role models and songstresses for life. May God bless you both, in heaven. I also dedicate this book to my Sister Denise: A "songbird" in my life and a saving grace in my battle with cancer. A caring and loving soul she has been to her nine (9) children, her husband and me. May God bless you over and over as he leads you into the future he has created for you. I dedicate this book to my wife Brenda, to Garon, Marq, Devin and Derek, to Edenn and Nicole and each of their wives, husbands, daughters and sons. I love you all very deeply and I thank you for ..."MY STORIES and PSALMS"....the songs that you have placed in my heart. Finally, to my former co-workers, friends, extended family and fellow believers toward a higher purpose. Thank you for sharing your life, time, energy, thoughts and prayers with me.

A breakout novel for a young writer whose last book was shortlisted for the Trillium Prize alongside Anne Michaels and Margaret Atwood, and whom the Toronto Star called a "force of nature." Hazel Hayes is a grad student living in New York City. As the novel opens, she learns she is pregnant (from an affair with her married professor) at an apocalyptically bad time: random but deadly attacks on passers-by, all by blonde women, are terrorizing New Yorkers. Soon it becomes clear that the attacks are symptoms of a strange illness that is transforming blondes--whether CEOs, flight attendants, skateboarders or accountants--into rabid killers. Hazel, vulnerable because of her pregnancy, decides to flee the city--but finds that the epidemic has spread and that the world outside New York is even stranger than she imagined. She sets out on a trip across a paralyzed America to find the one woman--perhaps blonde, perhaps not--who might be able to help her. Emily Schultz's beautifully realized novel is a mix of satire, thriller, and serious literary work. With echoes of Blindness and The Handmaid's Tale amplified by a biting satiric wit, The Blondes is at once an examination of the complex relationships between women, and a merciless but giddily enjoyable portrait of what happens in a world where beauty is--literally--deadly.
