As lovers new and old join the adventure, long-buried secrets are revealed, and the Perkins family is forced to confront the defining choices in their lives. Can four lost adults find the peace they've been seeking by reconciling their childhood aches and coming back to each other?

Book excerpt: Inspired by true events, this best-selling Israeli novel traces a complex web of love triangles, homoerotic tensions, and family secrets across generations and borders, illuminating diverse facets of life in the Middle East. The uneventful life of a jeweler from Tel Aviv changes abruptly in 2011 after Fareed, a handsome young man from Damascus, crosses illegally into Israel and makes his way to the ancient port city of Jaffa in search of his roots. In his pocket is a piece of a famous blue diamond known as "Sabakh." Intending to return the diamond to its rightful owner, Fareed is soon swept up in Tel Aviv's vibrant gay scene, and a turbulent protest movement. He falls in love with both an Israeli soldier and his boyfriend--the narrator of this book--and reveals the story of his family's past: a tale of forbidden love beginning in the 1930s that connects Fareed and the jeweler. Following Sabakh's winding path, The Diamond Setter ties present-day events to a forgotten time before the establishment of the State of Israel divided the region. Moshe Sakal's poignant mosaic of characters, locales, and cultures encourages us to see the Middle East beyond its violent conflicts.

Download or read book Pace Setter written by Rhonda Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to fill a gap in knowledge that exists and to better equip future generations of mental health professional leaders. During the last fifteen years of leading CCFAM, then CCFAM Training, and now Play Therapy Training Resources, I learned to intentionally lead and followed the next step of claiming a culture for the foundation of the businesses and the employees within them. How did this happen? Leading intentionally and claiming a culture required me to be an active participant and leader in these organizations. This book invites you, as the reader, to come along on some of my recreational adventures-running, skiing, and water sports, to name a few-for what I hope will be relatable stories and lessons. Both being a leader and participating in physical recreation demand you to be active in each moment, and I draw wisdom from the parallels of those experiences. As I share memories and takeaways from my journey to intentional leadership and claiming a culture, I will focus on four primary areas: 1) making a positive impact, 2) considering the vision for the culture, 3) normalizing the struggles and mistakes that occur within organizations (as you learn from mistakes I made), and 4) encouraging you to continue your own adventure story, as it unfolds in the years ahead.
