Book excerpt: As a young boy, running through the mountain valleys of Italy, Mark Gentile dreams of success-the kind of success that happens in a boardroom, far away from the country life. So after graduating from law school, Mark quickly climbs the corporate and legal ladder, eventually becoming CEO of a leading auto manufacturer. But after butting heads with company leaders, Mark fears he has compromised his ethics. With his wife's blessing, Mark returns to Acerenza, his birthplace in southern Italy. While enjoying the leisurely pace of the new life he's found in his old home, however, Mark must make a decision: Should he abandon his roots for a second time and satisfy his innate hunger for the struggles and rewards of corporate life? Or should he embrace his native land and create a more balanced life for himself and his family?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marco Island projects prominently from Florida's mainland at the peninsula's southwestern fringe, where the waters of the Everglades and the Gulf of Mexico commingle. Its tropical climate, verdant landscape, unique topography, and abundant wildlife sustained prehistoric Native American cultures for centuries. The first pioneer settlers arrived in 1870, carving out a niche on the harsh Florida frontier. Bustling villages soon sprang up on the island, bolstered by strong leaders and economies centered around farming and fishing. The crash of Florida's land boom, along with the Great Depression, devastating hurricanes, and a series of failed developments, ultimately stunted the island's growth. Most of Marco Island was sold to the Deltona Corporation in 1964, which transformed the island into a place its early residents might find unrecognizable. Despite Marco Island's common distinction as the largest of Florida's Ten Thousand Islands, there are only 12 square miles of land upon which to wander--making the enormity of its history all the more remarkable.--Publisher description.

Book excerpt: One night before a school holiday, our niece Stephanie called our son, Marco. She had found and purchased a silver cross of a certain type he'd long been looking for, to wear around his neck. I watched my son's face light up as she described it. Stephanie promised to deliver it the next evening. The following afternoon, Marco lost his life in a fatal accident near our home. We buried our beloved son with Stephanie's gift. Months passed. A friend looked for his grave, and called me to say she couldn't find it in the cemetery where our son now rested. We hadn't placed a marker yet, finding it difficult to do so; but I reminded her that Marco was near a large, hollowed out, dead tree. "Didn't you see the tree?" I asked. "I didn't think you could miss it." My friend paused a moment. "My God. We were in the right place. I did see the tree," she said. "But Debbie.the tree looked as though it was dead, but.it was in full bloom. It was covered with white flowers " This is a story about transformation.about unspeakable loss, persistent love, hope, faith, and redemption. "I look at my sister Debbie in awe. She has gone through the most devastating, life altering situation, one that would have destroyed most people. But rather than giving up, she has emerged a new person.and this is Marco's Gift."-Denise DeVito

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marco Polo Didn’t Go There is a collection of rollicking travel tales from a young writer USA Today has called “Jack Kerouac for the Internet Age.” For the past ten years, Rolf Potts has taken his keen postmodern travel sensibility into the far fringes of five continents for such prestigious publications as National Geographic Traveler, Salon.com, and The New York Times Magazine. This book documents his boldest, funniest, and most revealing journeys—from getting stranded without water in the Libyan desert, to crashing the set of a Leonardo DiCaprio movie in Thailand, to learning the secrets of Tantric sex in a dubious Indian ashram. Marco Polo Didn’t Go There is more than just an entertaining journey into fascinating corners of the world. The book is a unique window into travel writing, with each chapter containing a “commentary track”—endnotes that reveal the ragged edges behind the experience and creation of each tale. Offbeat and insightful, this book is an engrossing read for students of travel writing as well as armchair wanderers.
