Beschreibung

“Rediscovering Ramona grips you from the first moment. The humorous, yet poignant narrative is a truly engaging journey through the complexities of human connection and self-discovery. Banta’s storytelling truly shines.” Reader’s Favorite, 5 Stars (K.C. Finn) 
 
After a terrifying event, witty Los Angeles writer Ramona ‘Ro’ Wilder struggles with crippling feelings of vulnerability. The global pandemic provides an excuse for her to withdraw from family and friends and seek refuge in her home in the bohemian neighborhood of Laurel Canyon.
 
Ro’s search for serenity is disrupted by Fred, her charming but annoying neighbor who constantly tests her patience. Their lively banter leads to an unexpected companionship, and she soon discovers that Fred has a serious illness. Just as pandemic restrictions are being lifted, a shocking event once again upends Ro’s life and forces her to venture from her carefully cultivated comfort zone to travel to exotic Morocco in search of Fred’s elusive best friend.
 
An inspiring and entertaining tale based on many true events in the author’s life, Rediscovering Ramona: Truth, Fiction, and Burt’s Bar leads the reader from the Hollywood Hills to the exciting casbah of Marrakesh as Ro seeks to redefine herself in a dramatically changed world.
 
“A must read for contemporary fiction fans.” Reader’s Favorite, 5 Stars (Manik Chaturmutha)

    This is small part of introduction of the book: From the depths of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, a young girl named Malala Yousafzai emerged as a beacon of hope and courage, her voice resonating with an unwavering belief in the transformative power of education. Her journey, one marked by resilience and unwavering determination, has etched her name indelibly in the annals of history, forever inspiring generations to come. 
    Born on July 12, 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan, Malala was raised in a household that cherished education. Her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, was a passionate educator who ran a school for girls, instilling in Malala a deep-rooted love for learning. From an early age, Malala displayed an insatiable curiosity, her mind brimming with questions and a yearning to explore the vast expanse of knowledge. 
    As Malala grew, she witnessed firsthand the oppressive rule of the Taliban, an extremist group that sought to impose strict control over the Swat Valley. Their tyrannical regime brought forth a wave of restrictions, including the banning of girls' education. Malala's heart ached for her fellow young women, denied the fundamental right to learn and pursue their dreams. 
    Undeterred by the Taliban's threats and intimidation, Malala refused to be silenced. At the tender age of 11, she began writing a blog for the BBC Urdu service, using the pseudonym "Gul Makai" to protect her identity. In her blog posts, Malala chronicled her daily life under Taliban rule, eloquently voicing her aspirations for a world where all girls had access to education.

    This story is about a man who had his feelings bottled up for way too long. Not able to tell his family why he did the things he did and not able to recoup the lost years away from the people who he loved. In the Mexican-American community, you never show your sadness, your pain, or weakness. As an act of pride, you always keep all your emotions to yourself like as if nothing is wrong. Showing everyone that you're not suffering and everything is fine is strength. 
    I couldn't do that anymore; it was tearing me up from within. I felt that by writing my story, I was finally explaining and apologizing at the same time to my family for leaving so long ago and why I tend to stick to myself in the present. Writing my story has been a form of therapy for me, if you will, a way to release all those negative feelings that have been inside my head for some time now. 
    It feels like coming up out of the water and taking a big gulp of air after being under for so long, and I can breathe again now. My life has been harder than most but easier than a lot of people. I thank God for guiding me and protecting me through my journey. But I still wouldn't change any part of what happened back then because it wouldn't have brought me here. I have no regrets.

In Brian’s early teen years, he discovers that drugs and alcohol are the perfect solutions to his low self-esteem issues. Like most addicts and alcoholics, Brian believes that he can stop at any time, so he doesn’t see any harm in continuing to drink and smoke weed. What he doesn’t know is that with every sip and every puff, he falls deeper into a world of crime and desperation. 
    The Struggle is a gripping true story that takes you through the life of an alcoholic/addict who hits rock bottom but quickly learns that the more he tries to dig himself out, the deeper that bottom gets.

The questions keep coming. How can she pass on this heritage without passing on the trauma of displacement? Will her son ever love mango pickle?In her search for answers Samantha encounters demon bowls, the perils of kohl, and the unexpected joys of fusion food.

As Samantha considers what we lose and keep, she also asks what we might need to let go of to preserve our culture and ourselves.Always Carry Salt is an immersive and moving meditation on the words and traditions that shape us and what we carry forward into future generations.
