A shy teenager attempts to express how she really feels through the pastries she makes at her family’s pasteleria. A tourist from Montenegro desperately seeks a magic soup dumpling that can cure his fear of death. An aspiring chef realizes that butter and soul are the key ingredients to win a cooking competition that could win him the money to save his mother’s life. Welcome to Hungry Hearts Row, where the answers to most of life’s hard questions are kneaded, rolled, baked. Where a typical greeting is, “Have you had anything to eat?” Where magic and food and love are sometimes one in the same. Told in interconnected short stories, Hungry Hearts explores the many meanings food can take on beyond mere nourishment. It can symbolize love and despair, family and culture, belonging and home.

Book excerpt: Part culinary travelogue, part cultural history, Save the Deli is a must-read for anyone whose idea of perfect happiness is tucking into a pastrami on rye with a pickle on the side Corned beef. Pastrami. Brisket. Matzo balls. Knishes. Mustard and rye. In this book about Jewish delicatessens, about deli’s history and characters, its greatest triumphs, spectacular failures, and ultimately the very future of its existence, David Sax goes deep into the world of the Jewish deli. He explores the histories and experiences of the immigrant counterman and kvetching customer; examines the pressures that many delis face; and enjoys the food that is deli’s signature. In New York and Chicago, Florida, L.A., Montreal, Toronto, Paris, and beyond, Sax strives to answer the question, Can Jewish deli thrive, and if so, how? Funny, poignant, and impeccably written, Save the Deli is the story of one man’s search to save a defining element of a culture — and the sandwiches — he loves.

Download or read book Where We Used To Live written by Paul John Hausleben and published by God Bless the Keg Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2022-11-04 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home for the holidays! The master storyteller, Mr. Paul John Hausleben, returns once more to the Christmas season with a masterful collection of classic stories. This collection consists of novellas and novelettes with each story revolving around the central theme of returning home for Christmas. They utilize Christmas and the holiday season as a setting and they perfectly capture the spirit and magic of the holidays. Christmas invokes prominent emotions, with both happiness and sadness touching our soul; however, of all the many wonderful aspects of the Christmas season, there is nothing quite as special as when a loved one returns home for Christmas. Especially so if the loved one has been away for a long amount of time. Sometimes, it is not a physical return home, but it is a return within the person’s mind. Paul John Hausleben's masterful play with our emotions often causes the plots and the emotions to run deep in these stories and encompass both the joy and the heartbreak of that most wonderful time of the year. However, in typical PJH fashion, he leaves the reader with a collection of stories that stoke your own memories of holidays of your own past and stories that remain in your mind forever. Download your eBook copy, or your paperback copy today and share in the magic of returning home to your own Christmas!

Download or read book Get In Get Out written by Saleem Little and published by Mitanni Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2021-04-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rough, raw, and riveting, Saleem Little's first novel is a gritty portrayal of survival in an urban setting, where working the GAME (or dealing drugs) becomes the only way to escape stifling, racist-driven poverty. To most Americans, the GAME exists in a fantasy world, a violent world either glamorized by hip hop music or demonized by data and government statistics. Saleem Little illuminates it as a realm inhabited by real families and real children, a world where harsh choices determine outcomes for life or death. Marquise Jackson inherits the responsibility of caring for his mother and brother when his father is killed in a hail of bullets. As Mar navigates the world of drug dealers, street sharks, and other players in the GAME, he discovers that his intelligence and caution make him an excellent competitor. He is so successful that he lifts his mother, his brother, and his beautiful fiance, Lexi, out of street-level poverty into a world of success that results in education, charity, and social responsibility. Although the rewards are great, this tournament of wits is a dangerous sport, and the stakes are high. Saleem Little creates a surprise ending that twists and turns as Marquise and Lexi discover the fatal price for playing the GAME. (Get In, Get Out) is a high-speed train that carries the reader on a non-stop journey filled with sex, drugs, and violence. In that sense, it is dynamic and action-packed. The story, however, becomes more compelling when the reader discovers Marquise Jackson's deep desire to live a NORMAL life: a life where his children can grow up safely, where his little brother can go to college, where his mother can open her own shop and earn a living, where his family can gather for a Thanksgiving dinner like any other family in America. Saleem Little creates a world where the language of the street reveals an undeniable aspect of American culture, a reality that many Americans try to ignore. The irrefutable fact that a tremendous proportion of young African American men are incarcerated proves Little's point that playing the GAME is sometimes the only option to escape street-level poverty. -Suza Lambert (Suza Lambert Bowser Productions, LLC)
Download or read book Flashes Sparks and Shorts written by Paul John Hausleben and published by God Bless the Keg Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flash Fiction and more! A unique and unusual book! Unlike any other book, that Paul John Hausleben has published before and maybe, unlike any other book that a reader might have read! Paul John Hausleben ventures into the writing world of flash fiction (Flashes) and along the way, he throws in some twists and turns with some wisdom and general thoughts on life (Sparks) and some short stories (Shorts) plucked from his seemingly endless vault of stories. The Master Storyteller returns with an entirely new genre! This time, Mr. Paul John Hausleben jumps into a new genre for even his wide-ranging writing abilities, and he delves into Flash Fiction. Fantasy, nostalgia, romance, crime-drama, short stories, Christmas, religion, sports, and more; there are few genres that Mr. Hausleben does not, or has not, dabbled in, but in this release, he dives into the maze of words with an entirely new experiment in writing, with his tinkling of the keyboard in flash fiction. The results are astounding. There are few modern authors as diverse in their writing abilities as Mr. Hausleben is, and he proves it in this eclectic and very unusual collection of work. Within the pages of Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts, the author conjures up twenty-four pieces of flash fiction (Flashes) covering many diverse subjects covering, romance, humor, fantasy, life, death, crime, new-age thoughts, religion, and who-knows-what, with some Flashes inspired by his taste in music, and others, simply from his own life experiences. The author explains his use of music for inspiration for some of the Flash Fiction pieces in the Author Notes from the book, “Music is a huge part of my life and I always write with music in the background. In searching for inspiration for the flash fiction, as I often do and have done in the past, I used music as a source of themes for some flashes. My intention was to use the melodies, meanings and the lyrics as a basic theme for the stories and to get my creative juices flowing. My intention with the lyrics was not to plagiarize them, but to use them for the broad foundations of some stories. Other stories just jumped into my mind, or are the product of actual experiences that I have had in my life. I feel it worked out rather well, and I enjoyed writing and creating the entire project.” Mr. Hausleben mixes the Flashes with Sparks, which are quotes of wisdom and random observations of life, and then he adds two previously unreleased short stories (Shorts) from a collection titled Where We Used to Live as anchor stories. To top it all off, the book includes the fascinating cover photograph that is from the author’s own photographic work with an experiment in stop action photography to capture, the Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts! This collection of thoughts, short stories, flash fiction, and general meanderings is sure to capture the hearts and minds of faithful followers of Mr. Hausleben’s previous work, and new readers that first experience the magical storytelling abilities of Mr. Paul John Hausleben.

Separated from her sister, Lola, at that time, Melissa grew up with a strong desire to help those stuck in abusive relationships. It's why she became a therapist and opened a domestic abuse shelter. After losing a leg to a gunshot wound in the line of duty, Phil Osbourne has felt like a man without a purpose--until he hears Melissa's story and decides to use his Special Forces contacts to track down her missing sister. He knows what he discovers will break Melissa's heart. What he doesn't realize is that helping the women reunite will bring the cartel down on them like the category 5 hurricane striking Miami. Bruised yet not quite broken, Melissa and Phil battle the storm and the cartel, calling on strength they didn't know they had to escape death, save the innocent, and--just maybe--find healing in each other's arms.
