  The year is 1992. Over twenty years have passed since Soviet General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev was assassinated by a crazed gunman. Since that time, the Soviet Union has been put on a course toward economic success—and war. 
   
   
   
  In the Balkans, Yugoslavia's collapse into ethnic violence draws NATO and the Warsaw Pact to the brink of Armageddon. Armies deploy and fleets maneuver. Political intrigue engulfs Moscow and Washington, and paranoia radiates from the Iron Curtain. In the zero-sum game of Cold War, neither side can afford to blink or back down. 
   
   
   
  A conflict nearly fifty years in the making spills from boardrooms and back alleys and explodes into open battle on land, air, and sea. The showdown of the century is here: East versus West with the future of mankind at stake.

  In the shadows of the great Oxford English Dictionary, a quiet revolution is born.
   
  The Dictionary of Lost Words tells the unforgettable story of Esme, a girl raised in a world of words—yet silenced by the very system that defines them. While her father and his colleagues work tirelessly to preserve the English language, Esme discovers a parallel truth: the most powerful words are often the ones left out—spoken by women, the working class, and the unheard.
   
  From whispered lullabies to protest chants and forgotten dialects, Esme collects discarded words, building her own dictionary in defiance of the era’s limitations. As she grows from curious child to determined woman, she begins to understand that language isn’t neutral—it’s shaped by power, history, and exclusion.

  There is something about the number 3.    
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
