Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in Italy during WWII and twenty-five years later, this is a story of a mother and daughter, of love and the secrets that echo through generations. In the fields around Tuscany in summertime, sunflowers grow in abundance—wave upon wave of gold and green standing tall against the Italian sky. But for Signora Maria Ferraro, the bright yellow blooms she once loved as a child have come to represent the most painful episode of her life. Not even her cherished daughter, Anabella, knows what happened to her during World War II, when the Germans overran her hometown of Florence and Signora Ferraro fell in love with a Resistance fighter. In the aftermath of loss and grief she found salvation through an unlikely source—cultivating roses on her farm in the Tuscan countryside. Now the blossoms symbolize everything that is both good and safe, and she nurtures them with as much care as she guards her past. Yet to Anabella, the rose farm that once delighted her has become little more than a pretty prison. Despite her beautiful surroundings, Anabella longs for more. During one of her regular visits to Siena to sell their flowers, Anabella encounters a handsome young artist named Dante Galletti. His canvases are filled with images of a girl who looks just like Anabella—and Dante claims to have seen her in his dreams, running through a sunflower field. Through Dante, Anabella begins to see sunflowers, her cloistered existence, and the world itself through new eyes. As their relationship deepens, Anabella knows she will soon have to choose between loyalty to her mother, and the risks and rewards of living on her own terms . . .

Book excerpt: Six-years-war has ended, by the strength of only one man. สงครามหกปีสิ้นสุดลงแล้ว ด้วยพลังของชายเพียงคนเดียว Everyone calls him "Swordmaster". ทุกคนเรียกเขาว่า “ซอร์ดมาสเตอร์” Unfortunately, this is not the story of such time of glory, bloodshed and..... แต่โชคร้ายที่เรื่องนี้ไม่ใช่เรื่องราวแห่งเกียรติยศ การนองเลือด และ.... Ruby: Sola, why don't you just tell them that this is the story of a man in a harem full of beautiful flower girls. รูบี้: โซล่า ทำไมเธอถึงไม่บอกพวกเขาไปล่ะว่านี่คือเรื่องของผู้ชายในฮาเร็มที่เต็มไปด้วยสาวดอกไม้แสนสวย Almond: Could you not disturb her? This is the most important part of our story, and it could decide the future of us all. อัลมอนด์: อย่ารบกวนเธอได้ไหม? นี่เป็นส่วนสำคัญที่สุดของเรื่องราวของเรา และอาจจะตัดสินอนาคตของพวกเราทุกคน Ruby: And I want to ask you why the novel cover doesn't have me on it? Since I'm the main heroine and all. รูบี้: ฉันอยากจะรู้ว่าทำไมปกนิยายถึงไม่มีรูปฉันอยู่บนนั้น? ฉันเป็นนางเอกนะ Sola: I am so fed up with pen tool.. uh... better not talk about it. So, we used a photo of flowers instead, and I think you are not the main heroine. โซล่า: ก็ฉันสุดทนกับ Pen tool แล้ว เอ่อ...อย่าไปพูดถึงมันจะดีกว่า เราก็เลยใช้ภาพดอกไม้แทน แล้วฉันก็คิดว่าเธอไม่ใช่นางเอกหรอก Almond: It's a budget cost too. Those artists charge us over US$200. We are broke. Plain and simple. อัลมอนด์: มันยังเป็นเรื่องงบประมาณด้วย ศิลปินพวกนี้คิดเงินเราแพงถึง US$200 พวกเราไม่มีตังแล้ว ก็แค่นั้น Ruby: That's really expensive, huh. รูบี้: มันแพงจริงๆด้วยนะ Sola: Could you girls stop talking? So, I can continue with the synopsis.... โซล่า: หยุดพูดกันหน่อยได้ไหม? ฉันจะได้เขียนสรุปเรื่องต่อ.... Ruby: I don't understand why this is so important. รูบี้: ฉันไม่เข้าใจว่าทำไมมันถึงสำคัญนัก Sola: Ruby, listen. If we don't have a good synopsis, people will not buy our book, and then..... โซล่า: ฟังนะรูบี้ ถ้าเราไม่มีสรุปเรื่องที่ดี คนก็จะไม่ซื้อหนังสือของเรา แล้วจากนั้น.... Iris: Then what? I want to know it too. ไอริส: แล้วยังไงต่อ? ฉันก็อยากจะรู้เหมือนกัน Sola: Then there will be no book 2. โซล่า: ก็จะไม่มีเล่ม 2 Iris: No book 2, so what? Why should I care? ไอริส: ไม่มีเล่ม 2 แล้วยังไง? ทำไมฉันต้องสนใจด้วย? Sola: Our universe will collapse, and we will disappear forever.. โซล่า: จักรวาลของพวกเราก็จะยุบตัวลง แล้วพวกเราก็จะหายไปตลอดกาล... Iris: What did you say? ไอริส: ว่าไงนะ? Almond: Well, too late now. You talked too much. We have run out of writing space... อัลมอนด์: สายไปซะแล้ว พวกเธอพูดมากเกินไป เราไม่มีเนื้อที่เหลือจะเขียนอะไรแล้ว.... Ruby: What!!!!!NO!!! I don't want to DIE!!!!You do something sis!!! I should have done that human thing with our lord when I still had a chance.

Book excerpt: Taking inspiration from the author's own Afghan-Uzbek heritage, this contemporary YA debut is a breathtaking journey into the grief that lingers through generations of immigrant families, and what it means to confront the ghosts of your past. Struggling to deal with the pain of her parents’ impending divorce, fifteen-year-old Sara is facing a world of unknowns and uncertainties. Unfortunately, the one person she could always lean on when things got hard, her beloved Bibi Jan, has become a mere echo of the grandmother she once was. And so Sara retreats into the family business, hoping a summer working on her mom’s latest home renovation project will provide a distraction from her fracturing world. But the house holds more than plaster and stone. It holds secrets that have her clinging desperately to the memories of her old life. Secrets that only her Bibi Jan could have untangled. Secrets Sara is powerless to ignore as the dark truths of her family’s history rise in ghostly apparitions -- and with it, the realization that as much as she wants to hold onto her old life, nothing will ever be the same. Told in lush, sweeping prose, this story of secrets, summer, and family sacrifice will chill you to the bone as the house that wraps Sara in warmth of her past becomes the one thing she cannot escape...

Book excerpt: The first woman he ever loved is dead, and Evan Wade is compelled by demons of his own to discover her murderer. As this gripping tale of suspense unfolds, Wade comes to understand his own role in the crime, and the hunter comes to be hunted by the very murderer he seeks. In the chilling climax, Wade finds out more than he ever wants to know about himself, and that knowledge changes him forever. Set against the backdrop of one of the great social and moral controversies of our time, Untimely Ripped explores the relations between parents and their children, born and unborn, loved and abandoned. Yet, however serious and thought-provoking, the novel will delight as much by its uproariously funny scenes as its somber ones. For it tells not only a deeply moving, tragic tale of love and death but a heart-warming and comic story of love, life, and birth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Martha Hall Kelly’s million-copy bestseller Lilac Girls introduced readers to Caroline Ferriday. Now, in Sunflower Sisters, Kelly tells the story of Ferriday’s ancestor Georgeanna Woolsey, a Union nurse during the Civil War whose calling leads her to cross paths with Jemma, a young enslaved girl who is sold off and conscripted into the army, and Anne-May Wilson, a Southern plantation mistress whose husband enlists. “An exquisite tapestry of women determined to defy the molds the world has for them.”—Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours Georgeanna “Georgey” Woolsey isn’t meant for the world of lavish parties and the demure attitudes of women of her stature. So when war ignites the nation, Georgey follows her passion for nursing during a time when doctors considered women on the battlefront a bother. In proving them wrong, she and her sister Eliza venture from New York to Washington, D.C., to Gettysburg and witness the unparalleled horrors of slavery as they become involved in the war effort. In the South, Jemma is enslaved on the Peeler Plantation in Maryland, where she lives with her mother and father. Her sister, Patience, is enslaved on the plantation next door, and both live in fear of LeBaron, an abusive overseer who tracks their every move. When Jemma is sold by the cruel plantation mistress Anne-May at the same time the Union army comes through, she sees a chance to finally escape—but only by abandoning the family she loves. Anne-May is left behind to run Peeler Plantation when her husband joins the Union army and her cherished brother enlists with the Confederates. In charge of the household, she uses the opportunity to follow her own ambitions and is drawn into a secret Southern network of spies, finally exposing herself to the fate she deserves. Inspired by true accounts, Sunflower Sisters provides a vivid, detailed look at the Civil War experience, from the barbaric and inhumane plantations, to a war-torn New York City, to the horrors of the battlefield. It’s a sweeping story of women caught in a country on the brink of collapse, in a society grappling with nationalism and unthinkable racial cruelty, a story still so relevant today.

"A genuine literary event.... Plath's journals contain marvels of discovery." —The New York Times Book Review Sylvia Plath's journals were originally published in 1982 in a heavily abridged version authorized by Plath's husband, Ted Hughes. This new edition is an exact and complete transcription of the diaries Plath kept during the last twelve years of her life. Sixty percent of the book is material that has never before been made public, more fully revealing the intensity of the poet's personal and literary struggles, and providing fresh insight into both her frequent desperation and the bravery with which she faced down her demons.
