Book excerpt: Before they exchange even a single word, Corrine knows that James will change everything. And sure enough, their serendipitous meeting in a North Carolina coffee shop sets off a whirlwind of desire and possibilities for the two. Timing, however, isn’t on the couple’s side. After their relationship ends, Corrine finds that years of putting her career and passions on hold for love have led to a stalled life. She once saw her receptionist job as temporary but got too comfortable and, before she knew it, lost sight of her dream of becoming a writer. Now, as Corrine makes her way into her late twenties, she’s on a quest to find herself. As she struggles to figure out what she really wants, she’ll discover that sometimes you have to take happiness into your own hands and that a fulfilling life is built on opportunities—even the missed ones.

Book excerpt: “Counting Sunshines is a great reminder that we need a fresh infusion about our past, the many immigrants faced and the obstacles they overcame.” —Jerry Fabyanic, award-winning author of Sisyphus Wins and Food for Thought: Essays on the Mind and Spirit “Anna’s story is in essence, a counterpart of the struggles which all settlers of the period experienced. And Mrs. Zajic is also a symbol—of hardship, fortitude, and faith; and of the welding of a heritage which has now passed to our hands.” —Clarence A. Schooley, editor and publisher, Friend Sentinel Newspaper “Are we there yet?” Does that question sound familiar? Young Anna Wancura travels for weeks with her immigrant family in search of a new home throughout Kansas and Nebraska during the 1800s. As she grows older, she learns what it takes to survive and find joy living on the new western frontier. With each of the seven moves, she keeps track of the days and miles by counting the sunshines. Join Anna and her family on their moving journey across the west-central plains and learn what it meant to be a pioneer.

Book excerpt: THE TULIP is not a gardening book. It is the story of a flower that has made men mad. Greed, desire, anguish and devotion have all played their part in the development of the tulip into the world-wide phenomenon it is today. No other flower has ever carried so much cultural baggage; it charts political upheavals, illuminates social behaviour, mirrors economic booms and busts, plots the ebb and flow of religious persecution. Pavord tells how the tulip arrived from Turkey and took the whole of Western Europe by storm. Sumptuously illustrated from a wide range of sources, this beautifully produced and irresistible volume will become a bible, a unique source book, a universal gift book and a joy to all who possess it.

Book excerpt: Crippled when her horse fell on her, the lithe, tiny and feisty Wing can no longer continue her heady life as a tightrope walker and circus performer. When she receives a mysterious package that contains a memoir written by Helena, the mother who she never knew, Wing learns of her mother's bizarre and ultimately tragic story. She reads of the love affair between her mother and Constantine, a contemporary alchemist. Helena follows him from the murderous environs of Valentine's Circus to a bleak island off the west coast of Scotland. But the more Helena uncovers about him and his secrets, the more precarious her situation becomes. As Wing reads, she finds that, like her mother in her memoir, she will have to choose between fact and fiction.

The war is drawing to a close, but the Nazis still occupy part of the Netherlands. After the losses she’s endured, war widow Cornelia is only a shadow of the woman she once was. She fights now to protect her younger brother, Johan, who lives in hiding. When Johan brings Gerrit Laninga, a wounded Dutch Resistance member, to Cornelia’s doorstep, their ives are forever altered. Although scared of the consequences of harboring a wanted man, Cornelia’s faith won’t let her turn him out. As she nurses Gerrit back to health, she is drawn to his fierce passion and ideals, and notices a shift within herself. Gerrit’s intensity challenges her, making her want to live fully, despite the fear that constrains her. When the opportunity to join him in the Resistance presents itself, Cornelia must summon every ounce of courage imaginable. She is as terrified of loving Gerrit as she is of losing him. But as the winter landscape thaws, so too does her heart. Will she get a second chance at true love? She fears their story will end before it even begins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A serial killer haunts the city streets, a stalker of isolated women who leaves a Santa Claus hat at the scene of his crimes. Pavel, a Russian émigré, assists the police investigation as a sketch artist. But Pavel's true calling is as a tattoo artist, and the so-called Bad Santa killings conjure up memories of the nightmarish world in which he learned his craft: a Russian prison camp that shattered his childhood and destroyed his family. Shifting between the living hell of a 1940s Siberian gulag and the crime-ridden chaos of New York City during the 1970s, this graphic novel's stunning artwork provides an atmospheric backdrop to its tale of corruption, murder, and revenge. Author Jerome Charyn was acclaimed by The New York Review of Books as "a fearless writer. Brave and brazen." This edition of Little Tulip, which was originally published in French, features Charyn's new English translation. Award-winning illustrator François Boucq also collaborated with Charyn on the acclaimed graphic novels The Magician's Wife and Billy Budd, KGB. Suggested for mature readers.
