Anna Ornstein is a Holocaust survivor. After emigrating to the U.S., she seldom spoke of the experiences she suffered while a young girl. Twenty-five years ago, at the family Seder gathering, her family asked for a story from her past. In an evocative, understated passage, she shared a bit of the tragedy she saw through the eyes of a child. Every year she has added to this tradition by sharing another chapter of the tragedies she witnessed and the small moments of grace in her survival. Through her family's support, Orenstein gained enough strength to share her experiences in My Mother's Eyes, in hopes of keeping the nightmare from ever happening again.
This book will take you on a journey back in time; it is narrated by a child who is 3 years old, and continues with the narration until the child reaches the age of 12. The child’s own words and thoughts are used throughout the book. Think back to your earlier years, can you remember when you were a teenager, or maybe age five, or even only a few months old? Can you see yourself there? Can you remember your favorite toy, or your favorite place to play? A person can go back into their childhood and remember events and people as though they were there all over again. The mind is an incredible organ that stores and recalls memory and even acts as a defense mechanism to protect its carrier if it has to. At age three Julie recalls “I stood there in what was supposed to be my favorite place to play and the only thing I could feel was safety leaving me. … all of a sudden, everything faded to black. This journey will cause an awakening to occur for Parents, Teachers, Child Development Professionals, Psychologists, Doctors, Counselors, and for all of those who play a part in the life of a Child. Julie recalls “I was awakened by screams of terror. I ran to the living room. … He had blood all over his shirt. The neighbor knocked on the door and asked was everything okay. She said that she was going to call the police. I was so scared that I could not move; blackness was all around me. I woke up a few hours later and the brown hand was holding me.” The events in this book will stimulate the minds of professionals as they dissect and analyze it; and English students as they critique it.

"Refreshing and devastating"—The Oklahoman Despised and feared by her sprawling family, Victoria Hastings Harrison Greene refuses to go quietly from her long life without revealing the secrets she's held locked away for more than fifty years—the same secrets consistent with the rumors her grandchildren whisper behind her back during family gatherings. Widowed with nine children during the one-two punch of The Great Depression and the Oklahoma Dust Bowl, Victoria made harsh choices—desperate choices that reduced a once soft and loving young woman into the reviled matriarch she is today.

From USA Today best selling author, Willow Winters, comes three heart-wrenching, seductive romances all available in this must-read collection. Promise Me: "Promise me you'll love me after this?" Those were the words I asked my first love on a high school date. "Always, Vi," he told me before crushing his lips against mine. I gave him a part of me I can never get back that night. Even worse, I gave him my heart. That was four years ago. Back when I was young and naive. Back when I thought we’d always be together. He dumped me right after graduation and left me to join the military. He said I shouldn’t wait for him; it didn’t matter that I wanted to. I would have waited for him forever, but he threw me away and left me here in this small town. Now he’s home and says he wants me back. Second chances don’t work in love. No matter how much I wish I could erase what’s happened since he’s been gone... no matter how much I think of falling back into his arms… Knocking Boots: We were never meant to be together. He’s a bartender with noncommittal tendencies. I’m looking for … the opposite. Commitment. Period. But drinks and a bet led to something it shouldn’t have: a fake relationship. Worse, a first date, a first kiss… and then more. He’s addictive and I can’t bring myself to accept the reality. That it’s all a lie and I’m fooling myself by thinking he could want more. That I could change him. He’s mine for as long as I keep on pretending like this is just for fun. As if I don’t want more… Like when he whispers my name, I pretend it doesn’t make my heart flip. Like when he holds me at night, I pretend I don’t want to lay in his bed every night. It's just a bet; just a lie... until it isn't. Burned Promises: He made me a promise. And then he broke it. That’s what happens with your first love. I didn’t expect for Derek to fall back into my life and for me to fall back into his bed. Time changes a lot of things, but it doesn’t change everything. It doesn’t change the way he makes my heart skip or the way my lungs stop when he stares deep into my eyes. It didn’t change his bad boy ways either and I should be smart enough to tell him no this time around. I should be, I know what it’s like to be burned by him. But it’s so hard to walk away when his touch begs me to stay and the pain in his eyes cuts me deeper than anything else in this world.
