To understand the truth, you have to start at the beginning. Ava Bardem lives in isolation, a life of silence. For seventeen years, Ava’s father, a merciless man, has controlled her fate. He’s taught her to love no one. But then she meets Jack. Living in poverty, Jack Dahl is holding his breath. He and his younger brother have nothing—except each other. With their parents gone, Jack faces a stark choice: lose his brother to foster care or find the drug money that sent his father to prison. He chooses the money. Suddenly, Jack’s and Ava’s fates become intimately—and dangerously—linked as Ava’s father hunts for the same money as Jack. When he picks up on Jack’s trail, Ava must make her own wrenching choice: remain silent or speak and fight for Jack’s survival. Choices. They come at a price.

Book excerpt: A lyrical biography of Kahlil Gibran by award-winning writer Cory McCarthy, with glorious illustrations by Caldecott Honoree and two-time Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award winner Ekua Holmes. Before Kahlil Gibran ever put his pen to the page to eventually become the world's third best-selling poet of all time, he was Gibran Khalil Gibran, a child immigrant from Lebanon who had a secret hope. That hope sprung from his experiences in Lebanon, where Christians and Muslims crashed like two strong headwinds, and in Boston, where the wealthy crashed with the poor. His secret hope: to connect all people from around the world, bringing them together despite their differences and beliefs. But how could he bring people together when he himself felt fractured? He was Kahlil Gibran, the Arab American who struggled to make a home in America, and he was Gibran Khalil Gibran, the Lebanese boy who missed his home, struggling to hold on to his roots. Kahlil found his answer in writing poetry. Kahlil's secret hope, shot like an arrow from Lebanon, feathered by the spirit of American independence, became a book called The Prophet. And even today, Kahlil's words continue to fly around the world, bringing people together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His treacherous machinations exposed during the live performance of Hamlet, the brilliant and cunning Abe Badoane seeks revenge on the innocent lovers, Jude Hepler and Cory Mohney. While the infuriated Abe inches his insidious plot forward, Jude and Cory desperately try to decode Cory's medication-induced riddle, which, mysteriously, is embedded with clues to their coming fate. Her riddle bears an uncanny parallel to Old Mary's haunting vision of the rose which, strangely, correlates to the major events of Cory and Jude's lives. Under spiritual conviction that they should help the psychologically tormented Abe, the lovers magnanimously devise a plan to rescue him, even as the monstrous Abe settles on his scheme, a catastrophic-and breath-stopping-cave-in that will destroy the lovers forever. During a dream, frail Old Mary comes to the shocking realization that the beautiful dreamer in the Stephen Foster Memorial Window is not sleeping but dead. Because her dreams bear a one-to-one correspondence to Cory's life, Old Mary, now knowing that Cory is in imminent danger, frantically tries to warn her of the impending danger. But when Old Mary collapses, Jude and Cory, still not warned, head to the mine...and their horrific fate. The resulting cave-in pummels the unsuspecting couple and throws Jude into a stream-of-conscious dream reverie. "Events swirled in my mind as I floated in a twilight zone between consciousness and unconsciousness." Are his sad ruminations of a post-life Cory truth or fiction? Does their ineffably beautiful love meet its tragic doom?
