This is the story of how two young Austrians met and fell in love at the start of the World War II. During the next five years they somehow managed to get married and even have children, despite the fact that the war was raging all around them. My father was enlisted by the Nazis but never fought because his skills as a metal worker made him a valuable asset behind the lines, where he spent the war repairing damaged equipment. Although he was far from enemy fire, he soon discovered that the real danger to his life came from the people wearing the same uniform as him. Throughout the war he witnessed the Nazis' extreme cruelty to both minorities, and even to their own people. On a number of occasions, he barely escaped being killed by them himself. The story of how my parents managed to survive the many calamities that befell them is a tale that I've been carrying with me for over five decades. I finally felt that I had to share it so that their descendants would understand how brave and resourceful they had been, and how determined they were to give their children a better life.

Kids sometimes need a reminder that they are perfect just the way they are. Their looks are all unique and equally beautiful, but their real beauty is inside.

Hungry Ghost is a selection of poems about self-harm, depression, anxiety, dysphoria, high school, toxic relationships, friendships, falling in love, falling out of love, and falling in love with who you are as a person, despite all the pain you feel. We aren't defined by our skin, our scars, nor our wounds. We feel intense pain, but we also feel intense love. We live drastic lives, and we live beautiful lives. The line between love and pain is blurry and transient and constantly shifting... and that's where you'll find yourself when reading Hungry Ghost.

"Early Hokianga was different. A unique blend of Ngåapuhi Måaori, kauri milling settlers, and Wesleyan missionaries. Drawing upon modern scholarly insights, Methodist historian, Gary Clover, investigates the nature of culture change and Måaori conversion from 1827 1855 during New Zealands early contact era. He narrates an absorbing tale of Måaori and Påakeha inter-relationships, colourful personalities, and their foresight and failures. He explores how Hokianga Måaori, amidst immense turmoil and change, adopted and Måaorified European technology, culture, and Christianity. Also how William White, a little known, extra ordinary Wesleyan Mission Superintendent, moved far beyond the traditional missionary mould to help retain his Mihanere chiefs tribal lands. They entrusted White with large tracts to hold in trust. At Måangungus chapel, school, farm, and sawyers pits, they learnt skills to participate in the new economy, becoming competitive against their European rivals. But Whites personality flaws and his opponents saw him dismissed in 1836. And outside forces by 1855 brought about the end of all three original Hokianga mission stations. A well researched, scholarly, and detailed analysis of culture change and Måaori conversion in a region professional historians have largely neglected."--Publisher description.

Val, who has just signed her divorce papers and a lease on a new apartment, receives a call from a prospective client, Mavis Woodstock (a vaguely familiar name). Mavis insists she has to sell her house as quickly as possible, but then doesn't keep her scheduled appointment.

"...a fascinating tale of a woman rediscovering her lost identity..." Kirkus Reviews There's an old saying that men are made to be hunters. And women who make themselves too accessible are unlikely to sustain the hunter's interest. Such seems to be the case for Cassie, who twice thought she had found the man of her dreams only to be taken for granted by them both. First, there was Todd, a driven, impressive man who seems happiest when he controls everything and everyone around him. Enchanted with his striking looks and charm, Cassie tolerates his kingly ways for two years before deciding to walk away from a relationship in which she is merely seen but not heard. Several months later, she meets Johnson, who draws her in with his disarming humor and sweet sensitivity to her cares and needs. He seems to be everything she's ever wanted in a man-until he reveals that he doesn't want a "serious" relationship with anyone. With her desire for a clear commitment coolly crushed, Cassie must again decide whether to walk away or settle for less than she wants. But men often have complicated souls. And at times it seems that they only want what they can't have. Once Cassie is no longer available to Todd or Johnson, both men are suddenly willing to do almost anything to regain her affections. But now it's Cassie who holds all the cards. In the ensuing melee, one burning question waits to be answered: Will either man get what he wants?

"Eu, imigrante" é um livro que busca apresentar as dores, experiências, acertos e desacertos daqueles que se arriscaram a construir uma nova realidade de vida em um país distante, descrevendo algumas histórias, baseadas em fatos reais, mas que sofreram alterações para preservar a identidade dos personagens. O objetivo é o de narrar histórias que possam contribuir de maneira benéfica para reflexões sobre nossos valores, sobre a forma como nos relacionamos com a vida e com os que nos cercam para que desta maneira seja possível imigrarmos para as terras mais perigosas e áridas de que se tem conhecimento, o nosso íntimo...Umberto Fabbri

Emoji Revival is both listing and listless. This collection is a series of series. Events are explored and worked with but not always through. Marzi Margo is especially skilled at making a serious game of sentimentality in ways that nostalgia can be played with in negative yet humorous ways. That one can continue to hurt while growing and can have desire if not fondness for embracing past selves and past others who have helped to get one to this point in life. Margo also looks to the mundane and movies and life as living in the everyday. The keenness with which the movies are watched is the same keenness with which life is rewatched. -- Kenning JP Garcia, author of OF (What Place Meant) and WITH

This is a collection of poetry written beginning in 1975 until the early 1990s. The writing of the poems was done based upon direct life experiences, events or inspirations found in day-to-day living. The poems cover a wide range of topics, yet focus, for the most part, on how we view love, our relationships, and dealing with life as a whole. The author uses a style that came, in part, from his Grandmother. She was greatly influenced by the tone and craft of Longfellow and Frost. While he is not a poet by trade, his work weaves an interesting and sometimes amusing tapestry of one man's journey through his "youthful" years.

This is book one of an epic young adult Asian American fantasy adventure where Clara Wu, Sung Kim, Yuka Satoh and Daniel Nguyen must battle an ominous evil to save the world. But they are not alone as they are paired up with their trustworthy Guardians, the panda, white tiger, red crown crane and the water buffalo. Follow them as they unlock spectacular powers that they never knew they had, until they step into the World of Azen. Clara stared down hopelessly at the glistening shards of the Bamboo Jade that was supposed to be unbreakable. She looked up to see the rabid mayhem all about her as the elite battle pandas protectively encircled her from the Warlock's fiery creatures. Just a few weeks ago, she was a typical Chinese American teenager from New York City until she was whisked away into the realm of Azen, where she became the Panda Empress Warrior. Her eyes darted above the pandas' helmets as she saw her fellow warriors fighting the horde of creatures from above. Sung, Yuka and Daniel were frantically casting their dwindling powerful elements. Fatigue was taking a toll on them along with the armies of the Tiger, Crane and Buffalo Kingdoms. They had fought the first half of the arduous battle and were counting on Clara and the Panda Kingdom army to defeat the last of the creatures. Then they broke through the last barrier. Suddenly, her eyes bulged as a fiery creature leapt over the battle pandas; its claws outstretched toward her as fire glowed from its snapping jaw. But before it could sink its claws into her, the end of a bamboo spear struck its head, slamming it to the ground. The Guardian Panda came into view and took one last glance at her before he turned away to make one last stand. Clara felt her courage abandon her as she was supposed to protect the Panda Kingdom but they were on the precipice of loss. Her eyes fell on her wrist, and the jewel glistened back at her. Instinctively, she reached out for it and knew it was their last hope. An immersive epic fantasy steeped in Asian themes that will allow Asian American teens, children and even adults, to see themselves in story, as heroes. A story aimed at better Asian Representation!

Nailah C. Robinson and her mother, Dr. Shanetta Weatherspoon, came up with the idea for this book based on their everyday lived experiences together. They believe that people can relate across cultures and ethnicities. Momma, is this professional? Is inspired by Nailah's journey of self-appreciation. It is about a young girl reconciling her identity, her self-esteem and the manifestation of womanhood to a conscious level, based on mirroring her mother. It is as much a message of being "enough" to young girls, as it is the same message to the role models and parents who will read this book with their protégés. The book is for girls between the ages of 4 - 12. However, its purpose is a message to women and girls of all ages. The purpose of the book is to help young girls understand this simple truth: YOU ARE ENOUGH! Research suggests that girls struggle with self-esteem, self-worth and confidence at a very early age. Unaddressed, the issues can lead to serious challenges and risky behaviors as a teenager and even into adulthood. It has also been shown that minority girls' challenges with self-esteem are intensified by intersectionality (i.e. the intersection of race, gender and socioeconomic status) that may increase their experienced hardships. R&W Leadership Services' mission is to turn people, businesses and communities into LEADERS. We hope that you enjoy this installment, Momma, is this professional? Check out the next installment, The Responsible Me by Ray Edward Robinson II and Dr. Shanetta Weatherspoon.

I am thrilled, yet humbled and broken by the originality and precision of this book. The author demystifies the underworking of the evil camp and exposed their master plan. The author's ability to capture and pinpoint the occurrence of past events validates the likelihood of her future predictions. The author has been used mightily by God to convey the warning of the end time and to reveal, beforehand, the underworking of the devil. She accurately narrated the account of her revelation with God, by dating the events, and clearly explaining the trajectory of it all.The author is a prolific writer endowed with a strong creative expressive writing style. Each chapter carefully and concisely exposed me to the long-awaited plot of the devil and his future intentions against the children of God and mankind in general. The narrative technique of the author would leave you with introspection and enlightenment. Tribulation Has Begun exhibits balanced artistry of suspense and artistic candle and puts the author among the exalted league of those who bore the message of God. Readers will get a firsthand account of the author's opinion on Covid-19 and its role in the end-time prophecies. Further, readers will get to read about the author's conviction, hunger, and thirst for God.With a strong message revealing Jesus is coming soon, the devil manipulating the church and government, and the need for churches, to lessen and harken unto the voice of God The author, the lead character in this book, has taken the lead in telling all who would open this book about the interest of God in His children and importance of God in our life.
