Book excerpt: During summer camp, when a baseball comes bouncing at her from nowhere, Roshni Singh, a spunky teenager from Delhi, inexplicably ends up unleashing her unusually offensive side, little realizing that this trifling incident will shape her destiny. Mark Taylor, a student of the American International School, who has come rushing down from behind a boulder to fetch the ball, stands stunned at the foothills of the Himalayas, allowing her to bully him. Years later, Roshni finds herself at Yale Law School, face to face with Mark. Through their student years, they put aside their differences and place their relationship on a firm footing. Just then, however, fate deals them a cruel blow in the form of a severe blizzard that sweeps through the Northeastern US, leaving them to pick up the threads of their own lives through agony, bliss, despair and hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Ty McCormick, winner of the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, an epic and timeless story of a family in search of safety, security, and a place to call home. When Asad Hussein was growing up in the world’s largest refugee camp, nearly every aspect of life revolved around getting to America—a distant land where anything was possible. Thousands of displaced families like his were whisked away to the United States in the mid-2000s, leaving the dusty encampment in northeastern Kenya for new lives in suburban America. When Asad was nine, his older sister Maryan was resettled in Arizona, but Asad, his parents, and his other siblings were left behind. In the years they waited to join her, Asad found refuge in dog-eared novels donated by American charities, many of them written by immigrants who had come to the United States from poor and war-torn countries. Maryan nourished his dreams of someday writing such novels, but it would be another fourteen years before he set foot in America. The story of Asad, Maryan, and their family’s escape from Dadaab refugee camp is one of perseverance in the face of overwhelming adversity. It is also a story of happenstance, of long odds and impossibly good luck, and of uncommon generosity. In a world where too many young men are forced to make dangerous sea crossings in search of work, are recruited into extremist groups, and die at the hands of brutal security forces, Asad not only made it to the United States to join Maryan, but won a scholarship to study literature at Princeton—the first person born in Dadaab ever admitted to the prestigious university. Beyond the Sand and Sea is an extraordinary and inspiring book for anyone searching for pinpricks of light in the darkness. Meticulously reported over three years, it reveals the strength of a family of Somali refugees who never lost faith in America—and exposes the broken refugee resettlement system that kept that family trapped for more than two decades and has turned millions into permanent exiles.

Download or read book Beyond the Sea written by Elon Salmon and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What the Wild West was for America in the 19th century, Outremer - Beyond the Sea - was to Europe in the 12th: the wild east, land of opportunity, of warlike adventure, and of terror. The Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem lasted from 1100 to 1187. In that time European noblemen and women came here to do penance in war against the "infidels", to escape the law in their homeland, mostly to seek their fortune. Among the immigrants were also paupers. Niall, a young fugitive from England, was one of those. Our story tells of his rise from destitution to nobility: a major baron in the Kingdom. Niall's sons, Guillaume and Enguerrand, carry the story to its end through rivalry to reconciliation on the eve of the fateful Battle of Hattin, against turmoil, war and intrigue in the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Download or read book Beyond Seven Seas and Thirteen Rivers written by Saibal Gupta and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Seven Seas and Thirteen Rivers is a serio-fiction based on a hundred years old true story and the fictional story of a Naxalite rebel of the seventies of last century. The true story is about a man who lived in the nineteenth century and rebelled against the restrictive life of the society at that time and used to dream about distant foreign lands and adventures, stimulated by stories from Ramayana and Mahabharata. He left home as a teenager and through many adventures in the lands unknown became a renowned soldier and officer in the Brazilian Republican Army. His sketchy biography was published in a Bengali book at the turn of the century, 1899-1900, but nothing is known about him afterwards except that he died in Brazil in 1905. Born in the same year as Rabindra Nath Thakur and two years before Swami Vivekananda he remained an icon and an enigma, the only heroic-romantic character at the dawn of Indian renaissance. The fictional Naxalite rebel of the seventies also had to leave the country after many adventurous escapes, true events in the life of many young men, and reached Brazil and came to know about his predecessor a hundred years back and started searching for him. That changed his life bringing forth many perennial issues of man and society.
