Inspired by a true story. In Barbados in the 1950s in a stratified society of whites, blacks, and half-whites, the son of a working-class family is shot and killed. It happens on the private property of an English landlord. The Englishman claims he mistook the boy for a monkey and, for his defense in a court of law, he turns to a Barbadian lawyer, a member of the race he deems inferior to his own.The lawyer is faced with his own private dilemma. Should he defend the Englishman, face the scorn of the people and pander to the upper-class to which he yearns to belong? Is it worth the approbation of the upper-class and their money to turn his back on his own? Should he swallow his pride and disregard the white man's assault on his dignity and on his race?Meanwhile the people are stung by the humiliating monkey assertion from the lips of a white man.The lawyer enters the political arena and needs the majority vote of the working-class. But he has already cast his lot with the upper-class, the wealthy and privileged minority.In different ways the tragedy impacts the lives of the dead boy's parents, a God-fearing mother who leans on her Christian faith and a grieving father determined to avenge the killing of his beloved son.With bated breath the whole island awaits the day of the trial for their sense of justice to be vindicated. They expect no less a sentence than death for the Englishman. His life is in the hands of a brilliant local barrister.

Pepper I've made it this far and I'm not about to slow down now, in fact I'm ready to start breaking some records. With my junior year of college quickly approaching, I know it's time to step it up a notch if I want to run professionally after I graduate. Hoping for a race day breakthrough, I wonder if it's actually a mental barrier holding me back and if so, how am I supposed to confront what I can't see? Letting my past be my guide, both on and off the trails, I listen to my heart and finally know what it takes to win it all... trust. In Jace and myself. Jace I want Pepper back. Anyway I can have her, however she will take me. I'm reluctant to bulldoze my way into her life, having already crushed her once (okay, probably a few more times than that) before, but I'll do whatever it takes. I just need to remind her what we had- what we have, and what's at stake, but first, I'll have to get her to listen to me. What happens if I'm too late and she crosses the finish line without me?

Ceri is lost in a world of strange creatures. As she tries to find her way home she encounters dragons, goblins, shape-shifters and others; but her greatest challenge is the three sisters who want her dead. And they are just the dangers she knows about.

Every girl needs an angel. Mari just got three. Only one will win her heart. When Mari Baker moves in next door, Benjamin Rhodes knows she's the girl for him. Who cares if she's ten years older than he is. She's perfect. When Mari Baker moves in next door, Eli Rhodes is captivated by her fiery spirit and brunette curls. Sure, she's nothing like the singles bar hook-ups he usually entertains, but someone like her could make a man change his ways. When Mari Baker moves in next door, Joe Rhodes is unofficially engaged to Beth Havland, so why is this little snippet of a woman getting under his skin? Yeah, she's sweet and smart and shares his faith, but he and Beth have made plans. At least they've talked about making plans. When Mari Baker moves to Colorado Springs, she's looking for a fresh start--a new path. The first path she walks, however, is up the steps of the big Victorian house next door after she slips on the ice and throws her purse down the storm drain before she even has a chance to open the door of her new rental. The Rhodes brothers become her rescuing angels that night, and the next path that forms is the one between their house and hers. Author's Note: Very MINIMAL use of MILD language. This is a clean romance, but some sensuality, sexual tension and temptation make this a real romance. There are Jewish characters in this book. I am not Jewish, but I have a couple of friends who grew up in Jewish households. They helped me with terms and traditions. Since there are variations in these traditions across the country, from synagogue to synagogue, and household to household, I hope that you will grant me a bit of leeway. I was looking for the Midwestern Jewish experience, which may be somewhat different from your own. If these differences will ruin your enjoyment of a good story, I suggest you just walk away. The important part is the faith, not the traditions. "Unusually good for a romance novel. Not filled with sex. Good characters and good story line. Well worthy reading, maybe twice." "Nice read, I enjoyed the different characters and enjoyed getting to know each them. Ready to read the next book!" "This is a heart warming and charming love story about being true to yourself and your faith. Great fast read!"

Las alas del escorpión es un libro conmovedor y terrible a un mismo tiempo. En sus nueve relatos el autor explora sin pudor la psicología de víctimas y victimarios durante el nazismo. Las narraciones se fundamentan en hechos históricos -que el escritor modificó y combinó para dotar de un acabado estético- y en las cuales se exploran técnicas narrativas tan diversas como la perspectiva múltiple, el alter ego, el flujo de conciencia, el flash back, el racconto o las cajas chinas, entre otras. El primer cuento, El último tren, es el relato con que el autor quedó finalista en el XXV Premio Internacional Juan Rulfo (Francia, 2008). Trata sobre un barbero que, siendo confundido con un judío de la resistencia y detenido durante la ocupación nazi de París, es enviado a Auschwitz, donde sobrevive como sonderkommando -miembro de un comando especial en las cámaras de gas-. La muñeca de Cracovia es un homenaje a Zofia Burowska. Una niña sobrevive a los guetos de Cracovia y Varsovia y al campo de Dachau albergando un sueño: salvar su muñeca, alter ego que la acompaña durante la travesía, y regresar para rescatar el violín de su padre. Los amantes de Buna es una historia de amor, la historia de una esposa que se finge loca para llegar a la consulta psiquiátrica de su esposo, en el campo de Buna, a 40 km de Auschwitz-Birkenau. El andén de las valijas olvidadas narra la revuelta que un músico español planifica románticamente en Mauthausen, solo con su orquesta. En El cazador asistimos a los turbios procesos mentales de un miembro del comando Aktion T4, que se esmera en cazar jóvenes con retardo mental, hasta que se topa con un hijo que ignoraba tener. El gorrión caído del nido cuenta el testimonio de un policía noruego contra un jefe nazi en los Juicios de Núremberg, la sed de venganza y el vacío de regresar a una realidad devastada. En el relato Los hijos del rastro en el agua somos testigos de las consecuencias del horror. Tres niños huérfanos -uno judío, otro musulmán y otra católica- son dejados al cuidado de un carpintero ateo, en la Roma de Mussolini. Los cuatro hacen juntos un viaje a Jerusalén al terminar la guerra, un viaje en el que cada uno busca o huye de algo. El Payaso de Dublin cuenta la historia de Saah Kaboo, un mimo negro que vivió primero en Dublín, luego en el Berlín nazi y por último en el Berlín comunista. A lo largo del relato, Kaboo nos permite adentrarnos en un mundo donde la belleza del arte y el horror de la discriminación convivieron forzadamente en una época. Por último el relato que da título al libro, Las alas del escorpión, cuenta la historia de un escritor y profesor de literatura que colabora con la Gestapo y luego es apresado, cuando sus convicciones son cimbradas por el dolor de una enfermedad terrible. Durante el cautiverio conoce a Viveka, un amor imposible que le dará forma a su rebeldía contra el sistema.

It is believed by the Author that a knowledge of the simple facts of the history, geography and chronology of the Bible is essential to a liberal education and that to be familiar with the prophecies, poetry, and ethics of the scripture is as essential to the educated man of today as was a "knowledge of Greek history in the time of Pericles or of English history in the reign of Henry the VIII." And, in order that such knowledge may be gained, effort has been made to put into the book only a minimum of matter calculated to take the student away from the Bible itself to a discussion about it and to put into it amaximum of such matter as will require him to study the scripture at first hand.

The commonly held belief that you should 'follow your passion' is flawed. Many people believe that in order to be truly happy, you need to find and follow your one and only true passion. This is a very limiting approach to passion, and one not backed up by much research. In fact, recent research in the field of positive psychology has shown that you can live a more fulfilling life by choosing to pursue your whole life with passion. This has nothing to do with monetising the one thing that you love, but finding love in what you do.Susanna Halonen, also known as the Happyologist(R), introduces a new approach to passion that enables you to take control of your happiness. By highlighting the latest research in the field, including her own, Susanna explains how you can choose to unlock the passion inside you so that you can live a more fulfilling life. The secret to living life with passion is pursuing the passionate way of being, and the five keys to that secret are individually explored and discussed in this book. Each discussion is followed by questions of self-reflection that encourage you to create your own, unique action plan to start unlocking your passion.This book is an eye opener for those who want to understand the real science behind passion. It's also a must-read for anyone who is looking for more fire, spark and positive energy in their lives and careers. Most of all, it's a tool to help you to take a more proactive approach to unearthing your best self and setting out on the path towards passionate happiness.Praise for Screw Finding Your Passion: "Wanting happiness and knowing how to pursue it are two different things. Scientifically, happiness is a choice, not something you find. Using new research and practical tools, Halonen helps us change the formula for how we pursue passion, allowing us to find more ways of achieving our potential and creating joy." - Shawn Achor, positive psychology researcher and NYTimes bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage"It's very clear that Susanna Halonen is passionate about her work. And it's very clear that her work can help you unlock the passion within you." - Tal Ben-Shahar, author of international bestseller Happier"We all have times that life seems flat and not very fulfilling. Susanna's unique stance on passion will enable us to find that love for whatever we're doing right now." - Nina Grunfeld, founder of Life Clubs"This idea is so important it can't be ignored." - Elliot Newsome, founder and Managing Director of SKT Consulting

Last year, Anston had his wife committed to the asylum. Last night, she escaped. This turn of events could put a damper on his love life.Anston Michaels has spent the last year living a life without drama. He builds computer programs in his spare time, spends once a month ocean fishing with his two friends, and goes on the occasional date to keep things from getting too lonely. He's pretty sure he couldn't be happier. So, when he returns home from his fishing trip for a night of unwind, he's surprised to find Rebecca, his latest would-be girlfriend, sitting on the porch, intruding on his evening, collecting on a date he's forgotten about. What's worse, while he prepares to leave with her, he discovers that someone even more intrusive has been calling while he was away, someone he can't ignore. Even though acknowledging the caller's request for a meeting means losing the date, and likely the beautiful Rebecca with it, he has to accept it. It's a matter concerning his ex-wife: She has just escaped the mental hospital he'd committed her to a year ago, and now the caller believes she may be looking for payback.What follows is a journey into the mind of a woman who seeks mutilation or marriage, reconciliation or revenge, or something far more sinister than anything Anston could imagine, and he must rescue her from her madness and stop her from ruining both of their lives before it's too late. But is it actually madness that drives her? And is it really she who needs the rescuing? And does Anston truly know his ex-wife as well as he thinks he does?The Computer Nerd is the suspenseful but quirky tale of a former married couple who seem constantly to walk out of step with each other, even when their love still lingers beneath the surface, even when their livelihoods are at stake. Their journey is sometimes frightening and sometimes ridiculous, but no relationship is perfect, and they must rediscover their range for understanding as they work together to deal with a personal crisis that combines kidnap, conspiracy, and, worst of all, forced love into a tidy little demented weekend getaway package that neither is sure they'll survive thanks to the sociopathic third party who's tagged along for the ride.Complete safety in virtual isolation? Or likely destruction in a real romance? In the program of life, we must consider all the variables.Also comes with a post-credits scene.

But Harper's plans to grab the first ordained Elvis impersonator she can find and marry Noah Riddick on the Vegas strip-sans drama-are shot to hell when her old business partner shows up and makes her an offer she can't refuse. And if she tries? Well, let's just say she might not live long enough to regret it.

First rule of paranormal Fight Club? There are no rules. And, oh yeah, don't die.Seriously, what's a girl gotta do to get her happily ever after?

This book is not intended for anyone who doesn't enjoy smart, snarky heroines and dark, brooding heroes, and who doesn't appreciate a plethora of nerdy pop culture references. For the rest of you: happy reading!
