Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a hand-me-down traditional Mayan skirt, Emilia takes flight and sees her neighborhood in a new way, embracing her Guatemalan culture and letting her personality shine through her shyness. Emilia would rather play with her kite alone than go to birthday parties, pick up beans for her mom's frijoles dinner, or wear her mom's old corte into town where everyone can see her. With a gust of wind, Emilia's corte takes flight, and she sees what it's like to miss out on celebrating with friends, dancing to the marimba at the park, and being brave enough to ask for her favorite cookie, champurradas. After the heavy frijoles weigh her down and lead her to walk back home, she gets a second chance to participate in neighborhood events. Mother-daughter duo Veronica Castillo and Juleesa Espinoza penned this Spanglish tale together, with Juleesa also illustrating, to spur conversations about culture within families and inspire children, especially those from immigrant parents, to appreciate their roots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This could be a charming little story of Peter and Katy growing up out in the country with their children, Emilia, Addison (Addy), and various animals. It could be that, but it isn’t for several reasons. Emilia is actually a fairy princess that has been given to Peter and Katy to raise for her first twenty-five years by the fairy queen and fairy king. They want her to learn all about humans because, in reality, fairies do live among us and need to understand all things human. Peter and Katy are sworn to secrecy and asked not to reveal Emilia’s true nature to her until later. Emilia discovers her powers and abilities somewhat haphazardly as she needs them. Her parents tell her that her abilities must remain a secret. Alas, not everyone has wings. She must be cautious because there are those who hunt fairies for sinister purposes. She is provided with a massive enchanted elk named Hercules for protection. Hercules’s only weakness is Baby Ruth candy bars! He is later joined by a Belgian Malinois named Max as Emilia goes to college and discovers her destiny and a legendary secret. This book has kindness, love, friendship, adversity, faith, danger, perseverance, and excitement woven through it. I hope you enjoy Emilia and her family’s story!

He'll save the girl who holds his heart, no matter the cost. An assassin with the courage to topple kingdoms. They shouldn't have let her live. She will be the one to end them all. A girl who clings to hope at the end of the world. She didn't know the safety she lived in was a lie. The monsters are the only ones she can trust. An orphan finds adventures that reach new realms.

If you need romance, crave adventure, and aren't afraid to leap into a new world, When Worlds Begin is the four-book collection for you. When Worlds Begin includes Ember and Stone, Girl of Glass, The Tethering, and The Girl Without Magic. Readers rave about the four novels included in the When Worlds Begin boxset. “I really enjoyed this novel! It’s on the same level as The Hunger Games.” – BookBub Review of Girl of Glass “It's the magic we loved in Harry Potter, but happening right here and right now in the US.” – Amazon review of The Tethering “This reminded me of Doctor Who, except from the standpoint of the Doctor's assistant.” – Goodreads Review of The Girl Without Magic “David fights Goliath that will pass the Bechdel Test!” – Amazon review of Ember and Stone Ember and Stone (Ena of Ilbrea, Book One) Ena never hoped for a peaceful life. She never dreamt she'd become a killer either. After her home is reduced to ash, Ena is swallowed by a world of secrets and magic. Legends warned of dark shadows hiding in the mountains. They didn't warn of the dangers of falling in love with a myth. Girl of Glass (Girl of Glass, Book One) The world is ending, but Nola has been chosen to survive. This young adult dystopian novel looks at the apocalypse from the point of view of one of the few who has been chosen to survive. Blended with romance and a hint of paranormal, Girl of Glass asks the reader what the obligation of the privileged is to help the suffering. The Tethering (The Tethering, Book One) A dark spell may separate them forever. When fate binds Jacob and Emilia together, war threatens to destroy all they hold dear. Wizards are under attack, and Jacob and Emilia find themselves at the center of a battle that will decide the survival of magic. Facing an enemy that can shatter their souls, will they find love or be devoured by flames? The Girl Without Magic (The Chronicles of Maggie Trent, Book One) Death would have been easier, but the Siren wasn't through with her. The Siren dragged Maggie Trent out of a battle and into her Realm, a land where secrets hide in the shadows and pleasure comes at a price Maggie is unwilling to pay. With the promise of adventure in new worlds, Maggie leaps into a journey of blood and romance. *** When Worlds Begin is a four-book, series-starter collection for YA readers who love paranormal romance but just can't decide which of Megan's series to read first/next! The four young adult novels in When Worlds Begin all feature strong female main characters, runaways, hidden worlds, societal oppression, class differences, women in fiction, and, of course, all the adventure you could ask for! So, whether you're in the mood for witchcraft and wizardry, feminism in fantasy―be it urban or epic―myths and legends, or dystopian darkness hiding behind a utopian façade, When Worlds Begin has something for everyone! *** When Worlds Begin is perfect for fans of Kami Garcia, Rick Riordan, Missy Sheldrake, Anthea Sharp, J.

Book excerpt: Twenty-one-year-old Andy Priest loves writing, except when she doesn’t. Still, she dreams of a far greater life, of big success—and perhaps, why not, of seeing her name on the cover of a best-selling book. She loves to daydream about far-fetched love tales too, which is the one thing Emilia Peterson inspires the moment Andy lays eyes on her on the night of her best friend’s birthday. An ambitious and compassionate med student, Emilia is everything Andy had ever dreamed of, and then some. Playing with the cards of fate and circumstance, the universe brings the two of them together, never with the guarantee that it should stay easy.

Download or read book UNRAVELING THE SPIDER S NET written by Nancy Carlisle Schumacher and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-04-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “People are important. Although some persons may consider that people with disabilities cannot live ordinary lives, as long as they believe in themselves, they will survive. Never allow a person or a situation to overpower you.” These words are as true today as they were when my father said them to me in 1945, when he realized that epilepsy would be with me for life. Since then I have had five hip surgeries, cancer, cataract surgery, and several other physical problems that could be considered disabling. Yet, I have obtained two bachelor’s degrees, one in Education and the other in Fine Arts, a Masters degree in the Science of Psychology, and am now enrolled in a Doctorate program at Walden University in Health Psychology. We have had several deaths in the family in the past few years, and the birth of my great-granddaughter, Sanania Machele Schumacher-Drink this past May. Life is always changing, so why should people show bias to those who have Epilepsy, Depression, or Parkinson’s disease simply because they are not understood? We are constantly met with new challenges. For every bad thing that occurs, many more good things happen. I am originally from Wharton, Texas, but I have lived all over the country and traveled abroad quite a bit. Art, writing and selling Mary Kay Cosmetics have enabled me continue to appreciate people, as well as the many trials that occur. We grow stronger through overcoming these trials. I am a member of the American Medical Writers Association, American Epilepsy Society, International Association of Scientific Studies of Intellectual Disabilities, as well as the Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut. I have been a member of the American Medical Illustrators organization as well. I have spoken at medical conferences in 19 countries from Bombay to Beijing in an endeavor to make Epilepsy better understood. Unraveling the Spider’s Net, Epilepsy, Depression and Parkinson’s Disease is an attempt to show people that the cause of people’s difficulty is not the disorder, as much as the attitude of the public to said disorders. Epilepsy has been with us for many years, yet it still is not understood. In this book, I have tried to portray persons with epilepsy as ordinary people who live ordinary lives in spite of their problems. More people are suffering from epilepsy today as a side effect of Tumor surgery than was true twenty years ago. If a person is determined to overcome a problem, he or she will. Emilia and George, who were characters in Surviving the Spider’s Net, a Family’s Struggle with Abuse and Epilepsy are faced with different and challenging problems in this book as they see their family grow and new problems, such as Medicaid, Social Security, and Health care are faced. Everything comes with a price. Will they be able to meet the price?

Book excerpt: INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The latest in the TikTok sensation and deliciously “swoonworthy” (Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author) Maple Hills series follows two summer camp counselors who reconnect after a sizzling one-night stand. Maple Hills students Russ Callaghan and Aurora Roberts cross paths at a party celebrating the end of the academic year, where a drinking game results in them having a passionate one-night stand. Never one to overstay her welcome (or expect much from a man), Aurora slips away before Russ even has the chance to ask for her full name. Imagine their surprise when they bump into each other on the first day of the summer camp where they are both counselors, hoping to escape their complicated home lives by spending the summer working. Russ hopes if he gets far enough away from Maple Hills, he can avoid dealing with the repercussions of his father’s gambling addiction, while Aurora is tired of craving attention from everyone around her, and wants to go back to the last place she truly felt at home. Russ knows breaking the camp’s strict “no staff fraternizing” rule will have him heading back to Maple Hills before the summer is over, but unfortunately for him, Aurora has never been very good at caring about the rules. Will the two learn to peacefully coexist? Or did their one night together start a fire they can’t put out?

Download or read book Love and Other Sins written by Emilia Ares and published by Sera Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mina's life is going according to plan; she's acing AP Calc and is perfectly content with her nonexistent social life. Though only a high school junior, Mina knows time is an investment, and she's putting all her capital into academics. Oliver, a child abuse survivor who grew up in the foster care system, is ready to burn down his old life and start from scratch-complete with a new name and emancipation papers-in L.A. When the two are thrown together through circumstance and develop an unexpected connection, they discover how hard it is to keep the past in the past. Love and Other Sins is an emotional coming-of-age YA drama about family, love, violence, and the residue of abuse set against the backdrop of contemporary Los Angeles. When Mina meets Oliver, you'll remember your own first love and just how fast it swept you under. What were the bonds that bound us? Was it purely physical attraction? Circumstance? Or perhaps it was a mutual gravitation toward inevitable pain. "There was something about her-her eyes. Well, not so much her eyes, physically, but more like what they said about her: she had this look-a kind of restless intensity." "It was intimate . . . a strange and beautiful feeling. We were breathing life into each other." Love and Other Sins is a moving story about what it means to be young and vulnerable in today's society. This young adult romance will make you laugh and cry and give you hope for tomorrow because there are people like Mina and Oliver who refuse to let themselves be defined by their pasts or circumstances. If you love reading books like Looking for Alaska or Thirteen Reasons Why, then this is definitely for you. Content warning: sexual assault, recollections of child abuse, discussions of suicidal thoughts, and mention of miscarriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1990, a young boy afflicted with cerebral palsy was born, prematurely, in Russia. His name was Vanya. His mother abandoned him to the state childcare system and he was sent to a bleak orphanage called Baby House 10. Once there, he entered a nightmare world he was not to leave for more than eight years. Housed in a ward with a group of other children, he was clothed in rags, ignored by most of the staff and given little, if any, medical treatment. He was finally, and cruelly, confined for a time to a mental asylum where he lived, almost caged, lying in a pool of his own waste on a locked ward surrounded by psychotic adults. But, that didn't stop Vanya. Even in these harsh conditions, he grew into a smart and persistent young boy who reached out to everyone around him. Two of those he reached out to—Sarah Philps, the wife of a British journalist, and Vika, a young Russian woman—realized that Vanya was no ordinary child and they began a campaign to find him a home. After many twists and turns, Vanya came to the attention of a single woman living in the United States named Paula Lahutsky. After a lot of red tape and more than one miracle, Paula adopted Vanya and brought him to the U.S. where he is now known as John Lahutsky, an honors student at Freedom High School in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and a member of the Boy Scouts of America Order of the Arrow. In The Boy From Baby House 10, Sarah's hus band, Alan Philps, helps John Lahutsky bring this inspiring true-life story of a small boy with a big heart and an unquenchable will to readers everywhere.
