Traces of Bliss   

Publisher: Libros Publishing

 

What would you risk to relive the bliss?
In the affluent Los Feliz enclave of Los Angeles, five welathy seniors recall vivid memories of ancestors after Claire, a young massage therapist, uses her grandmother’s speically blended, Amazonian, aromatherapy oil. The
seniors' live-in caregivers, each with a rich history, are inevitably caught up in the drama as the past collides with the present.
The caregivers divulge details of the memories to Alma Ruiz, a pseudo-homeopath, amateur genealogist, and pathological liar. She conspires with Soledad to dupe the vulnerable seniors into paying them vast amounts for
memory retrieval reenactments. Alma and Soledad’s transgressions awaken the buried shamanistic sense of Octavio, a gifted gardener who immigrated to Los Angeles seeking revenge from the oil companies that dumped oil
in the Shuar tribal lands of Amazonian Ecuador. He reacts instinctively to protect Claire and the susceptible seniors.
Traces of Bliss reveals how memory can travel through the blood, and how much we are willing to sacrifice for lost treasures from the past.

Crazy co-workers stressing you out? Here's the solution.

Let's face it. Some people just don't listen, don't care, and aren't willing to compromise. And you probably work with some of them. The incomprehensible supervisor. The person in the next office who chats more than works. The customer who, by the way, isn't always right.

The good news is, it doesn't take two people to change a relationship in the workplace. It takes one--you! Now the bestselling author of Living Successfully with Screwed-Up People offers expert advice to help you not only get along with co-workers who get under your skin but actually succeed at work in spite of them. You'll learn how to be unflappable, imperturbable, and unflustered in every workplace situation.

Less stress at work can start today. So what are you waiting for?

Elizabeth B. Brown is a teacher, a speaker, and the author of the popular Living Successfully with Screwed-Up People.

The Hope of Shridula: Blessings in India Book #2

The Hope of Shridula: Blessings in India Book #2

 

  • ISBN-13: 9781426753886
  • Publisher: Abingdon Press
  • Publication date: 3/1/2012

India: 1946. Blessing Ashish murmured. Such a name for a man cursed by a million gods For forty-eight years, his family toiled as slaves in the fields of the high-caste Lal family, and all because of one small debt. Ashish and his family knew nothing of the hatred for the British seething around them, nor of the struggle for independence that simmered throughout India. At fifty-four, Ashish was old and worn out. His wife had died long before how many years, he had no idea. Even though he had four sons to work beside him in the fields, every day was a struggle to survive. Sometimes his only daughter worked, too, but she also cooked and cleaned and kept the clothes in repair. His wife had named the girl Shridula Blessings. Perhaps the name will bring you more fortune than it brought me, Ashish told his daughter. His words proved to be prophetic in ways he could never have imagined. And when the flames of revolt brought independence to India, they seared change into the families of Ashish and Lal.

All In  

by Jerry Yang, Mark Tabb

 

  • ISBN-13: 9781605421841
  • Publisher: Medallion Press, Incorporated
  • Publication date: 7/1/2011

In this intimate profile of an unlikely poker champion, the life story of Jerry Yang is laid out—from his difficult Hmong childhood to his success as a professional poker player. Born in the mountains of northern Laos, Jerry spent four and a half years in a Thai refugee camp after his family escaped the Communist forces. He endured horrific living conditions there and watched his family members die at gunpoint, but miraculously escaped and immigrated to the United States. From his first chance encounter with poker to winning the 2007 World Series of Poker, his struggles and achievements are chronicled here. It details Jerry's domination in the sport and how he uses his winnings to give back to the organizations that fed and clothed him during his childhood at the refugee camp. This autobiography is truly inspirational and is a reminder that the American dream is attainable for those with the courage and tenacity to pursue it.

Re: Free pre-orders of Nook comics

Can someone enlighten me how this works? Are "free pre-orders" still free when they are released? Or is it just a free preview (which is free anyway?) I've been reluctant to "purchase" these until they are released. Are they only free if you preorder?

The book/comic is free because you order it now, but it will not download to your Nook until the release date.  The book might still be free if you wait, but there is no guarantee on that.  I have not had problems with pre-orders.

The Saucy Lucy Murders: Book One in The Saucy Lucy Series by Cindy Keen Reynders (Medallion Press, 2011)

 

Hometown and family beckon Lexie when she can no longer tolerate her husband’s wandering eye. Bereft, she moves with her teenage daughter Eva back to Moose Creek Junction, Wyoming, to be near her sister Lucy and open a business—The Saucy Lucy Café. Lexie’s sister is a churchgoing woman who believes her sister must remarry in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, and suddenly, Lexie finds herself back in the dating pool. The trouble is, all of her dates wind up at Stiffwell's Funeral Parlor—dead. Gossiping townspeople begin to mistrust the sisters while café customers and eligible men dwindle. Business is down the toilet and, according to Lexie, the police simply aren't getting the job done. She declares it's time to intervene.

 

 

Ollie Tibbles: The Boy Who Became a Train by Debi Tibbles (Medallion Press, 2012)

 

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" "I'm going to be a train." I laughed. "You mean you want to be a train driver, right?" "No." Ollie put his hands on his hips. "I want to be a train, silly, and I'm going to be someday." Debi's happy life as a stay-at-home mum of three began to change the morning the elementary school secretary called. Her five-year-old had a headache. When he had another and another, each progressively worse, Debi's fear set in. Something in the doctor's kind eyes told her, Prepare yourself. This child is in danger. When medical tests revealed a highly malignant, fast-moving cancer in Ollie's brain and spine, Debi's world fell apart. Her fun-loving child was about to endure the most excruciating days of his life, and she was about to encounter the most profound lessons of hers. Ollie Tibbles: The Boy Who Became a Train is a journey down the track of every parent's nightmare. It is a story of love, tragic loss, and hope—and the true miracle of a young boy's wish come true.
