When Alondra and Felipe meet, they each want only one thing: Alondra wants to go to St. Louis to find her birth family, and Felipe wants to deliver his prize stallion to his ranch in New Mexico.

Paperback. Etat : Good. When is a routine daily walk more than a routine daily walk? When it begins a journey leading into some of the greatest minds and recorded thoughts of the last 5000 years. As Carolee Keener's routine of daily walks evolved into times of prayer and meditation, she was inspired to focus on twenty-six of the innumerable attributes of God's character-one for each letter of the alphabet. What began as a clever mnemonic device led her to an in-depth search for quotations, both sacred and secular, that inform our understanding of who God is: the loving, merciful, infinitely wise, and mighty Creator who tenderly bids us to call him Father. Through the ages, both skeptics and saints-intentionally or not-have weighed in on Divine topics. From Euclid to pop icons, from Moses to Milton to Mother Teresa, from presidents to prisoners, from the high and mighty to the meek and lowly, from the most erudite to the least scholarly-the timeless voices the author has collected here are rich in wit and wisdom, with the power to enlighten and amuse. The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of the ages, may be preserved by quotation. -Isaac Disraeli.…

The novel spotlights Ward's senior classmate and friend, Patrick Kiernan, himself recruited by a local sports editor to chronicle Ward and the team's season. Realistic relationships run the gamut as conflicts abound, and relationships get tested.The narrative, set in 1991 but framed to provide a final jolt into the present, features memorable characters, including Patrick's girlfriend and mom, his favorite teacher and school dean, and various villains, some with realistic backstories rationalizing unsavory choices.Hogarty, a retired principal, has experienced high-level scholastic athletic successes and concerns. His story, subtly alluding to essential works in American literature, anticipates today's reality in which Blue Chip prospects get recruited with NIL cash payouts, often from prep schools founded to provide lucrative collegiate and professional paths for top athletes.Ultimately, however, the fictional account reveals that youths and adults all get recruited to others' versions of the truth, sometimes unwittingly.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. James Dall attends church every Sunday even though he stopped believing in the Christian God years ago; he says it's for the free coffee. A 29-year-old who waits tables when he's not writing for a smalltime local newspaper, James considers himself a successful author who simply hasn't caught his big break yet, despite the fact he hasn't even finished his first novel. Ways and Truths and Lives follows James closely for the three most pivotal weeks of adult life he never saw coming. A creature of routine and consistency, James is forced to navigate a chaotic confluence of tantalizing dream women, career opportunities in other cities, ex-girlfriends seeking closure, mothers begging for grandchildren, suddenly flirtatious coworkers, and fathers who were never there. James' newfound focus on the answer has him listening to the combined wisdom of bartenders and pastors, surrealists and editors, poetry and pornography, and whiskey and IPA. Through James, Ways and Truths and Lives examines the difficulty of escaping a myopic worldview you were born into and finding comfort in the idea of 'an answer' as opposed to 'the answer'.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. My only complaint is that I wanted more, which is a good complaint to have. It made me laugh and cry and then laugh again and then pee and then cry. Lots of fluids lost. But in a good way. A book to make you appreciate the tragically funny and beautiful horror of family. - Jenny Lawson, Author Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Furiously HappyDaniel Grunman remembers his grandmother telling him, We're Jews. We don't believe in tragedy. We believe in horror, atrocity and injustice. And we recognize all of them as inherently hilarious.The Grunmans consider themselves a supremely functional family, in that they manage a wry self-awareness about the drinking, the pot smoking, the long-seething resentments, the brooding jealousies and the perpetual, judgmental subtext. In twenty hilariously poignant flashbulb vignettes a family comes to light, revealed in lean exchanges of unconscious cruelty and recognizable evasion.With deft, delicate brush strokes, award-winning playwright and humorist Dylan Brody delivers a family so specific that we fear we trespass on their intimacy. We observe behavior in such startling detail because our tour guide effortlessly guides us to those small bits that matter most: the fingertip manipulations of a cocktail napkin, the generational echo of an inflective grunt. We watch them behave, we hear them speak, we learn their tells.Deaths, losses, betrayals and slights resonate along umbilical bonds of familial connection.Secrets will be revealed. Son, father, mother and daughter will lash out at one another and reach out toward one another. Words will be spoken and silences will descend. Jokes will be written. It will never be too soon. …
