When Amy E. Wallen's southern, blue-collar, peripatetic family was transferred from Ely, Nevada, to Lagos, Nigeria, she had just turned seven. From Nevada to Nigeria and on to Peru, Bolivia, and Oklahoma, the family wandered the world, living in a state of constant upheaval. When We Were Ghouls follows Wallen's recollections of her family who, like ghosts, came and went and slipped through her fingers, rendering her memories unclear. Were they a family of grave robbers, as her memory of the pillaging of a pre-Incan grave site indicates? Are they, as the author's mother posits, "hideous people?" Or is Wallen's memory out of focus? In this quick-paced and riveting narrative, Wallen exorcizes these haunted memories to clarify the nature of her family and, by extension, her own character. Plumbing the slipperiness of memory and confronting what it means to be a "good" human, When We Were Ghouls links the fear of loss and mortality to childhood ideas of permanence. It is a story about family, surely, but it is also a representation of how a combination of innocence and denial can cause us to neglect our most precious earthly treasures: not just our children but the artifacts of humanity and humanity itself.Binding Type: Paperback

Bright & Pretty Hot Pink.
Color: Pitaya Red, Color: Pitaya Red
Very pretty and bright. It’s thick and great quality. Strong grip and doesn’t come off easily. Easy to clean when it gets dirty. It also has a nice backing. I prefer the transparent bright pink backing than the clear version. I love the strong magnetic for when I position it upwards. It can be positioned downwards too.

Very protective iPad case
Color: 1-Navy Blue
This MoKo iPad case is excellent! It fits perfectly and provides great protection without adding bulk. The navy blue color looks very sleek, and the translucent back shell is a nice touch. It’s super magnetic, with great padding. The smart cover works flawlessly with the auto wake/sleep feature, and the cutouts line up perfectly for Touch ID. Lightweight, durable, and a fantastic value!

Pleased
My iPad needed an upgrade and I’m pleased with this one. The battery holds 100% charge and the condition is excellent except for some hairline scratches on the back. Overall I’m happy with it and the price was good. I’d recommend this seller any day.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE — THE iPAD DOESN’T TURN ON AT ALL
I received an iPad that is completely dead. It doesn’t turn on at all, no matter what I try.
I tested it with different chargers and adapters — nothing works. There’s no charging sign, no Apple logo, no reaction whatsoever. It’s just a dead device, clearly defective.
On top of that, the color is wrong. I ordered silver, but they sent me blue, which looks totally different from the pictures — it’s more like a dull gray tone.
I live in Armenia, and returning the product from here is extremely difficult and expensive, so I’m basically stuck with a non-working iPad that I can’t even use.
The whole situation is very disappointing — the product is not as described, it’s faulty, and the seller provides no proper help or responsibility.
Do not buy from this seller. The item was dead on arrival, the color was wrong, and the support was useless.
If you value your money and peace of mind, avoid this seller completely.
