Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. At fifty, William Niemand has perfected the art of becoming nobody.He teaches English at a struggling Los Angeles school, conceals his loneliness behind wit, and avoids every question his wife, Suong, needs him to answer. He has carried the guilt of his teenage girlfriend's death for thirty-two years-and arranged his diminished life so that nothing can wound him quite so deeply again.Then William signs a false attendance report for an employer operating a student-visa mill.On the same weekend, a stray cat named Justice enters his apartment. Father Sergio and an old friend tell William that every person secretly makes three wishes: one for the soul, one for the heart, and one for the wallet.William laughs at the story.But later, looking at Justice, he thinks: I want my life back.At 2:12 p.m., his life divides.In one life, William hides behind silence and lets Suong leave. In the other, he tells her the truth and asks her to stay. Yet honesty does not guarantee happiness, and failure does not end the possibility of grace. As both lives unfold, William must face an immigration investigation, the loss of his profession, an unfinished love from the past, and the moral consequences of every choice he once considered too small to matter.At the center of both lives stands a hidden Los Angeles garden-a soup kitchen, sanctuary, and unlikely paradise for people searching for food, work, forgiveness, or hope.Tender, witty, and quietly suspenseful, The Two Lives of William Niemand asks a haunting question: If we could see the lives created by our smallest decisions, would we finally understand who we are?William Niemand means William Nobody.But Nobody does not have to remain nobody.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In colonial Lima, Isabel Flores de Oliva is expected to marry well and protect her family's fragile respectability. Instead, she chooses prayer, service, and a life that defies convention. Known to history as Saint Rose of Lima, she tends the sick, supports her household through gardening and embroidery, and challenges those who exploit the powerless. But her severe devotion frightens the people who love her-especially her sharp-witted, fiercely protective mother, Maria.Blending documented history with imaginative reconstruction, The Rose of Lima restores the complicated young woman beneath the halo: stubborn and compassionate, devout and uncertain, capable of humor, pride, sacrifice, and change. At its heart is the moving struggle between a daughter determined to belong entirely to God and a mother learning that love cannot become ownership.The Rose of Lima is a historical novel about faith, family, colonial injustice, and the woman who became the first canonized saint born in the Americas.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Every Tuesday morning, a group of strangers gathers in an Italian language class in Southern California. Some come to prepare for a dream vacation, others to keep their minds active, and a few simply to find companionship. Over cappuccinos after class, they become friends.Everything changes when Katya, a quiet immigrant from Eastern Europe, joins the class. Fluent in Italian but guarded about her past, she awakens both curiosity and suspicion. When she describes the beauty of Trieste, a city on Italy's Adriatic coast where cultures and histories meet, the class enthusiastically decides to spend ten days there together, renting a historic villa overlooking the sea.What begins as a joyful journey of language, food, music, and friendship soon takes an unexpected turn. A chance encounter with a distinguished businessman from Katya's past reveals that she has been hiding far more than painful memories. As long-buried secrets emerge, the class finds itself drawn into a dangerous world of human trafficking, corruption, and moral choices that none of them ever imagined they would face.To save Katya's younger sister and bring a ruthless criminal to justice, these ordinary retirees must decide whether to walk away-or stand beside someone who has become one of their own.Set against the unforgettable beauty of Trieste-its elegant cafes, windswept piazzas, the Adriatic Sea, and the timeless grandeur of Miramare-The Italian Class is a moving novel of friendship, courage, redemption, and the transformative power of education.Heartwarming, suspenseful, and deeply human, it celebrates teachers, lifelong learning, and the extraordinary things that can happen when strangers open their hearts, discover a common purpose, and realize that family is sometimes the one we choose.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. At forty-eight, Ulla Sands walked away from twenty-four years of university teaching, invested her savings in an empty classroom, and opened a language school with six chairs-and no students.What began as a precarious experiment grew into an international community. Over the next twenty-five years, students arrived from across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. They came to learn English, prepare for college, find better work, and begin new lives. In the process, they taught one another-and their teachers-about courage, faith, prejudice, friendship, and the complicated art of understanding people unlike themselves.Told with warmth, candor, and gentle humor, A School for the World follows the school through unexpected triumphs and formidable trials: cultural misunderstandings, eccentric employees, changing immigration laws, economic uncertainty, September 11, and the daily challenge of keeping an idealistic mission alive in the practical world of business.At its heart, this is not merely the history of a school. It is the story of the people who filled its classrooms, the unlikely friendships they formed, and one woman's determination to create a place where language could become a bridge between cultures.A School for the World: Twenty-Five Years Building an International School is an inspiring account of perseverance, education, and the belief that peace can begin with something as simple as learning to speak-and listen-to one another.
