Book excerpt: A new mother ventures into parallel worlds to find her missing child in this “wildly inventive” (San Francisco Chronicle) novel that turns the joys and anxieties of parenthood into an epic quest, “a powerful page-turner with deep wisdom” (People). “An original take on motherhood, The Possibilities taps into those primal feelings every nurturer feels—and fears.”—Good Morning America What if the life you didn’t live was as real as the one you did? Hannah is having a bad day. A bad month. A bad year? That feels terrible to admit, since her son Jack was born just eight months ago and she loves him more than anything. But ever since his harrowing birth, she can’t shake the feeling that it could have gone the other way. That her baby might not have made it. Terrifying visions of the different paths her life could have taken begin to disrupt her cozy, claustrophobic days with Jack, destabilizing her marriage and making her husband concerned for her mental health. Are the strange things Hannah is seeing just new-mom anxiety, or is something truly weird and sinister afoot? What if Hannah really did unlock a dark force during childbirth? When Hannah’s worst nightmare comes true and Jack disappears from his crib, she must tap into an extraordinary ability she never knew she had in order to save him: She must enter different versions of her life while holding on to what is most important to her in this one to bring her child back home. From the intimate joys of parenthood to the cosmic awe of the multiverse, The Possibilities is an ingenious and wildly suspenseful novel that stares down into the dizzying depths of maternal love, vulnerability, and strength.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Descendants—a “funny, insightful, and unsentimental” (People, 4 stars) novel about a grieving mother and the shocking surprise that may help her reclaim her hold on life. In the idyllic ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado, Sarah St. John is reeling. Three months ago, her twenty-two-year-old son, Cully, died in an avalanche. Sarah’s father, a retiree, tries to distract her from her grief with gadgets from the home shopping channel. Sarah’s best friend offers life advice by venting details of her own messy divorce. Even Cully’s father reemerges, stirring more emotions and confusion than Sarah needs. But Sarah feels she is facing the stages of grief—the anger, the sadness, the letting go—alone; she desperately wants to hear the swoosh of her son’s ski pants, or watch him skateboard past her window. And one day a strange girl arrives on her doorstep. Unexpected and unexplained, she bears a secret from Cully that could change all of their lives forever. With wry wit and intuition, Kaui Hart Hemmings highlights the subtle poignancies of grief and relationships in this stunning look at people faced with impossible choices. Called “surprisingly entertaining” (The New York Times Book Review) and “familiar yet richly, astutely observant and reflective” (The Boston Globe), The Possibilities brilliantly portrays tragic ineffability with grace and hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antonia Lucia Labella has two secrets: at fifteen, she's still waiting for her first kiss, and she wants to be a saint. An official one. Seem strange? Well, to Antonia, saints are royalty, and she wants her chance at being a princess. All her life she's kept company with these kings and queens of small favors, knowing exactly whom to pray to on every occasion. Unfortunately, the two events Antonia's prayed for seem equally unlikely to happen. It's not for lack of trying. For how long has she been hoping to gain the attention of the love of her life – the tall, dark, and so good-looking Andy Rotellini? Too long to mention. And every month for the last eight years, Antonia has sent a petition to the Vatican proposing a new patron saint and bravely offering herself for the post. So what if she's not dead? But as Antonia learns, in matters of the heart and sainthood, things are about as straightforward as wound-up linguini, and sometimes you need to recognize the signs.
Download or read book The artist of the possibilities written by Jesús Lara Sotelo and published by Punto Rojo Libros. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Lara Sotelo ́s literary work, unique and heterogeneous at the same time, showa a tireless fervor and rich inspiration. Without setting limits between amenity and greatness, his lyrical power stands out in the middle of dense forest. Concentrated and austere at times, excessive in others, he takes over himself and others in body and soul and he projects himself as he truly is, while he meditates thoroughly and thinks over and over about the earthly and cosmogonist things, perceiving in them their most active principles, so his compositions are, at the same time, and an act of creation and an act revelation in teh knowledge of new lives, where all spiritual an earthly things are revealed and released. So, it seems that in this way, every moment and every place of nature are willing to welcome the invasion of his opinion, which brings about a confiscation of total condition of the man and his sorrounding, which recognizes him with great jubilation.
Download or read book Mozart Genius and the Possibilities of Art written by Edmund Joseph Goehring and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2024 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstrates that the concept of genius is as vitally needed as ever and can illuminate the workings of Mozart's creative imagination. Much recent, distinguished Mozart criticism has set out a critique of the concept of genius. Whether following the scientist seeking greater objectivity, the postmodernist proclaiming the death of the author, the historian concerned about anachronism, or the critic who warns about making despotic claims, this demystifying literature has taken the weakening of genius's accumulated cultural authority as an indispensable step in arriving at a clarified Mozart. Mozart, Genius, and the Possibilities of Art advances a contrary claim. It proposes that anti-Romantic accounts of Mozart's genius themselves get lost in both the infinitely big--in utopianism and millenarianism--and the infinitesimally small--in materialism and process. Throughout, the book buttresses this argument with probing readings from contemporary documents ranging from ephemeral periodical literature to Kant's Third Critique, along with original analyses of the music itself. Goehring's book goes on to detail a contrasting Romantic portrait of Mozart's genius, one that allowed for ambiguity, embraced experience, and did not scorn reason. In Mozart's day, the term genius spoke to the unquantifiable and unpredictable in human inventiveness. And it continues to do so today. Goehring shows how the persisting fascination with an ingenious Mozart wells up from the middle of things, from the particularity of human beings--their "genie"--and the visible yet complex world of human intention and action.
