In the heart of every woman lies a yearning for a love that transcends the ordinary—a love that is raw, passionate, and soul-stirring. Forbidden Fruit: Taste of a Soulmate takes you into the world of Shay and Raul, two souls who defy the odds to find each other despite the differences in their backgrounds, cultures, and their age gap. Their paths were never meant to cross—yet destiny had its own plans. Inspired by true events, this fictional love story delicately weaves elements of passion, vulnerability, and fate, focusing on Shay's journey toward love, healing, and self-discovery. It is a tale of an unexpected, rare love that sneaks up on you—a connection so deep it feels like a secret that only a few will ever truly understand. Shay and Raul couldn’t be more different. She is a woman of elegance, raised in the lap of luxury, her life shaped by privilege and sophistication. He is a man of resilience, built from the ground up, carving his way through the lower class into the middle class with sheer determination and grit. Shay is from the east a royal ancestry tracing back to ancient Persia, born in Iran; He is from the west born in California with an ancestry rich of Spanish heritage. Their backgrounds may be worlds apart, but the scars they carry run deep and similar, wounds from childhood trauma and past relationships that left them both broken in their own ways. Shay is emerging from the shadow of a toxic arrange marriage to a man who is nothing short of a narcissistic psychopath—a relationship that nearly extinguished her belief in love and her life. Raul, on the other hand, has spent years locked in an emotional battle with a wife diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Raul also endured childhood traumas so profound that they led him to build towering walls around his heart, eventually causing him to forget what it truly meant to feel—a defense mechanism known as emotional detachment which he referred to as "turning his humanity off." But everything changes the moment Raul knocks on Shay’s door. The instant their eyes meet, there is an undeniable spark, a magnetic attraction and chemistry unlike anything either of them has ever experienced, slowly breaking down his walls. It’s as if their souls have recognized each other after lifetimes apart, and in that moment, the seeds of a love that is both forbidden and fated are planted. Both Shay and Raul had only dreamed and spoken of such a love they desired to their previous partners, but now, standing before each other, that dream has manifested into reality. Their bond is electric, a meeting of souls that feels both forbidden and fated. As they explore the depths of love, trust, and pleasure, Shay rediscovers intimacy and self-worth, while Raul breaks down the emotional walls that once kept him detached. Together, they embark on a journey of healing, passion, and self-discovery—proving that love has the power to mend even the deepest scars. Forbidden Fruit is more than just a love story—it's a psychological thriller about survival, intimacy, and the beauty of finding the kind of love that transforms you. Dive into this captivating tale where love isn't just found; it's created.

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
This potent drama, a collected volume of Goytisolo's famed tetralogy following a Catalan family, is widely regarded as one of the most profound inquiries ever undertaken on literary creation. Antagony surveys the social history of Barcelona and Catalonia, primarily since the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939. The work, originally published as a tetralogy and now collected into one volume, follows the youth and education of Raúl Ferrer Gaminde, son of a well-connected, middle-class Catalan family that embraces Franco and Spanish Nationalism. Its potent drama plays out through Goytisolo’s crisp, forceful presentation of youth, humor, optimism, rebellion, violence, sexual awakening, indulgence, punishment, and the realization of one’s artistic vocation. Alternately modern and historical, Antagony displays intelligent realism, emotional gravity, profane beauty, brute vulgarity, sweeping rhetorical scope, and seamless transitions through long, streaming passages of narrative and introspection.

This book is a comparative study of six Italian American and Greek American literary works written in the three last decades of the 20th century and examined in pairs. Based on the common theme of the authors' return, either metaphorical or literal to the country of origin and its culture, Return Narratives explores the common motifs of mythology, ritual, and storytelling where the third generation writers resort to in their quest for self-definition. With a common historical and cultural background in the old neighboring countries, Greece and Italy, and a similar reception in the new world facilitating a comparative approach, the ethnic writers of the two literatures, clearly envisage ethnic space as a site of resilience and empowerment.
This enchanting Newbery Honor Book is a “magical find” (School Library Journal). Half moorfolk and half human, and unable to shape-shift or disappear at will, Moql threatens the safety of the Band. So the Folk banish her and send her to live among humans as a changeling. Named Saaski by the couple for whose real baby she was swapped, she grows up taunted and feared by the villagers for being different, and is comfortable only on the moor, playing strange music on her bagpipes. As Saaski grows up, memories from her forgotten past with the Folks slowly emerge. But so do emotions from her human side, and she begins to realize the terrible wrong the Folk have done to the humans she calls Da and Mumma. She is determined to restore their child to them, even if it means a dangerous return to the world that has already rejected her once.
