Book excerpt: Kiaras Tiara is based on the theme that one beautiful heart can make a difference. It is a young-adult fiction story, showcasing transformations, perceptions, and love: love between a father and daughter, love between best friends; love that exists between grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews; and love that binds people without a blood relation and call themselves family; but most importantly, it highlights the love that a teenage girl has for the world. The name of this girl is Kiara. Introducing Kiaraa chirpy, smiling, and affectionate fifteen-year-old Indian girl, living in the United States, who was raised by a single parent. The story traces the evolution of her character from her life in a cocoon to a scintillating butterfly-like persona. Life only throws the unexpected at those who can handle it. Kiara overcame life-threatening obstacles in unconventional ways. She became an inspiration and set examples for others, by aspiring for the moon but reaching far beyond other galaxies. Necessity and belief can give an immense amount of strength and courage. Sometimes, all you need to do is believe because hope is all you have. If you really want something, and your heart truly believes in it, then nothing can keep you two apart. The entire universe itself will make sure that you end up with your hearts desire. Kiaras Tiara is a symbol of her strength, optimism, perseverance, and conviction.

Download or read book Bring Back Beatrice written by Jennifer Griffin and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where too many babies are named Ashley and Jayden and too many baby name books are saccharine pink and blue, here comes something singular: a book that brings meaning, taste, character, a little bit of attitude, and a refreshing lack of trendiness to the art of naming a baby. Bring Back Beatrice! is a clarion call for parents who know they are naming not just a cuddly newborn, but a human being— a person who will be proud to carry a name like Iris, meaning rainbow (after the Greek messenger goddess who connected the heavens to the earth); Bennett, the medieval form of the name Benedict, meaning “blessing;” Henry, good enough for eight English kings—after all, it means “home ruler;” Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting, the allegorical antecedent of the virgin Queen Elizabeth, and alterego of Wonder Woman; or Beatrice, an old-fashioned beauty with roots in both Dante and Shakespeare. Bring Back Beatrice! winnows down the universe of names to 1,546 mostly classic examples, and it makes a strong case for each, featuring the name’s definition, its use in history, its connotations and subtleties, its “meaning” in the fuller sense. Included are variations, nicknames, and, especially useful for readers, alternatives— names that have the same flavor, but may sound better with a particular last name or family background. There’s a guide to the basic rules of baby naming: scansion— the sounds, syllables, and rhythm of a name, and how it goes with a last name—ethnic traditions, recent trends, effective use of a middle name, plus an invaluable “flaky test.” Still considering a quirky name? Just imagine yourself buckling in for a flight when a voice comes on, saying, “I’m your captain, (insert quirky name here).” What do you think now?
