About the book: Who is the author of this book? It could have been a tall young man with interesting glasses or a shorter one that likes his martinis' dry and with three olives, or perhaps a woman that enjoys cooking and dishing up enchanting dinners for her dear friends. Or it could have been me. I suppose we will never know for sure. For you see, Stoney C. just vanished one day, just up and left. I truly believe she is in a lovely sea shell somewhere, in serene aqua waters, and has become one of the tiny little pearls entwined in Doritha's splendid red hair. That is the mystery of Jemsh, you just never know for certain where next she will turn up . . . .
For centuries, an ancient, powerful race known as the daevas has kept humanity enslaved. On the day humanity refused to accept its fate any longer, the first human leaders of Persia led the revolt-and humanity was finally freed. Humiliated and enraged, the daevan leader, Ahriman, vows to recapture his lost slave race at any cost. He places the blame on one human-the victorious Shah Tahmoures-and Ahriman's revenge will be brutal. When Jem, the shah's son, foils a vicious assassination attempt, the prince finds himself embarking on a journey that will test his bravery and destiny as the next leader of his people. To save the Crystal Throne, he will be challenged beyond anything he could imagine. Kidnapped by his enemies, he finds strange, new friends along the way. Against his will, he is transported to a land far from his home and understanding. But in order to save his people, Jem must fight his way back to Persia before Ahriman strikes again. Vastly outnumbered Tahmoures and Jem lead their army in a final battle against a mighty and implacable enemy. Together, they hold the fate and freedom of humanity in their hands.
The short stories captured on these pages are snippets of a well-lived life. I gathered information like a thief through the years and then one lovely and sunny day, I put pen to paper, filled my mouth with ink and spat it all on paper. What fun I had with these, my precious little stories. I have a Blue Million more to write.
About the book: This story is about Arletta, a young girl full of life, yet one day her world came tumbling down around her. All of this happened in an era that did not validate women, or children in their time of need. Her only options were to stay with a man she no longer loved. Everyone she thought loved and cherished her, turned their back on her, at the time she needed them the most. Arletta ultimately ate her soup with a leaky spoon, and lived the life she had been dealt. This story is about choices, and how oftentimes, they are made for you, and especially if you are female. It is also about the loss of a human soul, and how life can, bit by bit move one to mental illness.
Pura Belpré Award Winner Ruth Behar's inspiring story of a Jewish girl who escapes Poland to make a new life in Cuba, where she works to rescue the rest of her family The situation is getting dire for Jews in Poland on the eve of World War II. Esther's father has fled to Cuba, and she is the first one to join him. It's heartbreaking to be separated from her beloved sister, so Esther promises to write down everything that happens until they're reunited. And she does, recording both the good--the kindness of the Cuban people and her discovery of a valuable hidden talent--and the bad: the fact that Nazism has found a foothold even in Cuba. Esther's evocative letters are full of her appreciation for life and reveal a resourceful, determined girl with a rare ability to bring people together, all the while striving to get the rest of their family out of Poland before it's too late. Based on Ruth Behar's family history, this compelling story celebrates the resilience of the human spirit in the most challenging times.
