Beschreibung

The Smile Collector is A.H. Brunelli’s beautiful memoir about his experiences of the time he spent with Maurizio. Despite life’s hardships, they find strength and solace in each other in this heartfelt tale of love and loss. Their journey explores intimacy, complicity, resilience, and the impact of passion and love as they learn about themselves and each other.A. H. Brunelli was born in 1960 in south of Brazil, in a city called Londrina. There he lived his childhood, youth and studied, graduating as an architect and urban planner.At the age of 18, he had a life-changing experience as an exchange student in North America and Southeast Asia – a period that broadened his world view and planted the seeds of restlessness and creativity that would mark his entire career.During university period, he combined his studies with work as an English teacher and craftsman. He created his own line of office items, which helped him achieve financial autonomy and freedom of choice early in life.With his diploma in hand, he faced the challenges of the Brazilian economic crisis of the 1980s and began his career in architecture, a field in which he was able to combine sensitivity, technique and attentive listening to his clients’ wishes.Throughout his life, Brunelli has been able to turn obstacles into learning and projects into expression – sometimes with drawings, other times with words, and others with his hands. Today, still living in Londrina, as well as being an experienced architect, he is making his debut as an author, sharing memories and reflections that echo his passion for creating, building and transforming.

    “Dr. Georgia Thackery is smart, resourceful, and determined to be a great single mom to her teenager. Georgia is normal in every respect—except that her best friend happens to be a skeleton named Sid. You’ll love the adventures of this unexpected mystery-solving duo.”—Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author 
      
    Georgia Thackery, adjunct English professor, has a new job teaching at Falstone College of Art and Design, known as FAD to its students and faculty. Living in a borrowed bungalow during winter in the snowiest part of Massachusetts, Georgia feels her isolation weighing as heavily as the weather. Then she receives a package containing her best friend, Sid, a walking, talking skeleton who has lived with the Thackery family since Georgia was six. With Georgia working out of town, Sid was lonely too. 
      
    The two of them make plans for a cozy semester together, and it might have worked out that way if Sid hadn’t snuck out in the middle of the night to play in the snow and spotted a crashed car. When he drags Georgia out to investigate, they find the driver behind the wheel, apparently dead from the collision. 
      
    Initially, police think it’s an accident, so Georgia and Sid think that’s the end of it—until Georgia finds out the body hits closer to home than she’d realized …

    Downwind is not the same as downstream, though life, like time, flows only in one direction. 
     
    Had I the perspective of midlife or, better still, old age, I might not have been in that boat; my brazen countenance might have softened with the years, so too my sense of agency. But I was twenty-four, and a year ago I had finished grading the morning’s exercise and looked out of that classroom window onto the playground in Arizona, watching the children at recess without seeing them, still believing that teaching was my calling, yet unable to quell the yearning for something more. 
     
    It was the yearning that brought me to Costa Rica as I chugged up the Sarapiquí river to enter into the lives of those unsuspecting campesinos, forever.. 
     
    Actions are born of events and, in turn, beget them. Was I ever in control of my own destiny?
