Synopsis

Horatio Jr. Alger's "Sink or Swim; or, Harry Raymond's Resolve" is a classic coming-of-age story that follows the trials and tribulations of young Harry Raymond as he navigates the harsh realities of life in 19th-century New York City. Written in Alger's signature moralistic and uplifting style, the novel explores themes of hard work, perseverance, and the pursuit of success through personal integrity. Through vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, Alger paints a vivid picture of the struggles faced by the working class during this time period, making the story both relatable and inspiring to readers. Horatio Jr. Alger, a prolific writer of the American "rags-to-riches" genre, drew inspiration from his own experiences of adversity and triumph to create characters like Harry Raymond. Alger's own background as a minister and social activist shines through in his commitment to promoting the values of honesty, hard work, and determination in his novels. I highly recommend "Sink or Swim; or, Harry Raymond's Resolve" to readers who enjoy uplifting tales of perseverance and self-improvement. Alger's timeless message of hope and redemption continues to resonate with audiences of all ages, making this book a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration and motivation.

    How on earth am I supposed to go on? How can I ever feel happy again? I just want to curl up in the foetal position and die. – These are the thoughts swirling within the mind of someone grappling with the aftermath of a devastating loss.  
    Emotions so real, they threaten to break you …Why?...you have suffered a trauma. 
     In "Why Me," embark on an emotional journey of a mother whose life has been shattered by an unimaginable tragedy, —the sudden and tragic death of her beloved daughter.  
    This book is a must-read for anyone. It is a testament to the human spirit in the face of adversity. You will come to understand and learn that 'you aren't going mad', and that the intensity you are feeling does not have to last forever. 
    Acquainted with the shattered pieces of the heart, she recognizes the profound heartbreak and soul-deep emptiness that loss can inflict. However, unlike our ancestors, who had no support, more and more research is being undertaken to understand why we feel the way we feel, and why we think the way we do. 
    Wendy offers empathy and understanding, as well as a roadmap that you didn't think was available. How? Understanding trauma and cultivating self-awareness are essential steps on the path to healing. 
     Part one is her story, and Part two contains the answers you need to know to the burning questions you have to navigate your life through this new reality. Wendy can't erase your pain, she'll empower you to embrace and navigate it. Through her guidance, you'll discover a pathway forward, where the intensity of suffering gradually lessens, paving the way for newfound strength and resilience and a new perspective. 
     It is a story of survival, — a story that lingers in the soul, offering solace and inspiration long after the final page is turned. 
    ‘If you trust life, it can surprise you.’ – Wendy B King

    “Perfect to be read late into the night.”—Stefan Bachmann, internationally bestselling author of The Peculiar 
    “A spooky sisterhood mystery that is sure to be a hit with readers.”—School Library Journal (starred review) 
    “Grab a flashlight and stay up late with this one.”—Kirkus Reviews 
    Once there were two sisters who did everything together. But only one of them disappeared. 
    New York Times–bestselling author Jacqueline West’s Long Lost is an atmospheric, eerie mystery brimming with suspense. Fans of Katherine Arden’s Small Spaces and Victoria Schwab’s City of Ghosts series will lose themselves in this mesmerizing and century-spanning tale. 
    Eleven-year-old Fiona has just read a book that doesn’t exist. 
    When Fiona’s family moves to a new town to be closer to her older sister’s figure skating club—and far from Fiona’s close-knit group of friends—nobody seems to notice Fiona’s unhappiness. Alone and out of place, Fiona ventures to the town’s library, a rambling mansion donated by a long-dead heiress. And there she finds a gripping mystery novel about a small town, family secrets, and a tragic disappearance. 
    Soon Fiona begins to notice strange similarities that blur the lines between the novel and her new town. With a little help from a few odd Lost Lake locals, Fiona uncovers the book’s strange history. Lost Lake is a town of restless spirits, and Fiona will learn that both help and danger come from unexpected places—maybe even from the sister she thinks doesn’t care about her anymore. 
    New York Times–bestselling and acclaimed author Jacqueline West weaves a heart-pounding, intense, and imaginative mystery that builds anticipation on every page, while centering on the strong and often tumultuous bond between sisters. Laced with suspense, Long Lost will fascinate readers of Trenton Lee Stewart’s The Secret Keepers and fans of ghost stories.
