Summary

A ruthless financier decides to abandon the concrete jungle of the city for the wild beauty of the Sonoma Valley. This tale of transformation explores the possibility of reclaiming one's soul from the clutches of industrial greed. London contrasts the cold calculations of the business world with the revitalizing power of the land. It is a powerful narrative of redemption, hard work, and the search for an authentic life.

    To love and be loved in return is a beautiful feeling. But what do you do when the object of your affection refuses to love and want you the same way you want them? Not because they don’t feel the same but because in their eyes you don’t quite measure up? Even after you’ve done everything in your power to prove your worth to this person, they continue to purposely withhold the love that you so desperately crave. Walking away may seem like the most logical and healthy route to take but when it comes to that authentic, consuming, deep down in your soul type of love, doing so is easier said than done. 
    Considered an unlikely pair, Marcus, the reformed dope boy, and Nikki, the pampered princess, have undeniable chemistry. Problems arise when only one of them is willing to be honest and acknowledge the obvious attraction. Because she doesn’t feel that he fits into her world or the plan she has mapped out for her life, Nikki curves Marcus without hesitation from their first encounter. Unable to see past her fears, she doesn’t realize that rejecting him just may cost her the man she was meant to spend her life with. 
    With the street life in his rearview, Marcus is now a proud uncle and the owner of a thriving business. He’s hoping to add the title of being the man in Nikki’s life to the growing list of blessings in this new chapter, but she’s not on board with that plan. Although he’s fed up with trying to convince her that he is enough, does Marcus have it in him to throw in the towel for good? Ride shotgun with Marcus, Nikki, and a few other couples, as they navigate through this crazy, drama-filled game of life and love.

    'In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die:
    Ever drifting down the stream, Lingering in the golden gleam, Life, what is it but a dream?'
    
    The 1871 sequel to the hugely successful Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass sees the fantastical world-building of Lewis Carroll at its very finest.
    
    As marvellously whimsical as its predecessor, Through the Looking Glass reunites readers with our young heroine, Alice, as she steps through a mirror into a contrary world where logic is reversed and nonsense is king. However, this time, the landscape resembles one giant chessboard, and, in order to return home, Alice must move from pawn to queen. Meeting memorable characters along the way, such as Tweedledee and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty and the White Queen, Carroll's tale blends wordplay, absurdity and verse – most famously 'Jabberwocky' – in this dreamlike quest that delights even to this day.
    Lewis Carroll (1832 – 1898), the penname of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English writer, mathematician and photographer. His literary work is famed for its wordplay, fantastical elements and nonsensical nature. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Carroll's most famous work, remains one of the best-known novels of Victorian literature.

    The Child-Who-Was-Tired is a short story by Katherine Mansfield: She was just beginning to walk along a little white road with tall black trees on either side, a little road that led to nowhere, and where nobody walked at all, when a hand gripped her shoulder, shook her, slapped her ear. - “Oh, oh, don’t stop me,” cried the Child-Who-Was-Tired. “Let me go.”
