Sinossi

In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, one family's resilience shines through the darkness. As war engulfs Europe, a young girl and her family are forced to flee their home in Belgium, embarking on a perilous journey across war-torn France and the treacherous Atlantic Ocean.

Their destination is Java, an exotic land of lush jungles and vibrant culture. But even in this distant haven, they cannot escape the shadow of war. The Japanese occupation casts a dark pall over the island, and the family is torn apart. The father is taken to a distant prison camp, while the mother and her two young children are left to fend for themselves.

In the face of unimaginable hardship, the family's spirit remains unbroken. The mother, a resourceful and determined woman, finds ways to provide for her children, even as they are forced to live in constant fear. The children, despite their tender years, display a remarkable resilience, finding solace in the simple pleasures of life and in the enduring bonds of family.

Through the eyes of the young girl, we witness the horrors of war and the indomitable spirit of those who refuse to be defeated. This is a story of courage, resilience, and the enduring power of hope in the face of adversity. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

In this poignant and beautifully written novel, the author weaves a tale of love, loss, and the enduring power of the human spirit. This is a story that will resonate with readers of all ages, a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit even in the darkest of times.

  • The Inclusive Language Field Guide - 6 Simple Principles for Avoiding Painful Mistakes and Communicating Respectfully - cover

    The Inclusive Language Field...

    Avoid inadvertently offending or alienating anyone by following six straightforward communication guidelines developed by a no-nonsense linguistic anthropologist and business consultant. 
     
    In today's fast-moving and combative culture, language can feel like a minefield. Terms around gender, disability, race, sexuality and more are constantly evolving. Words that used to be acceptable can now get you "cancelled." People are afraid of making embarrassing mistakes. Or sounding outdated or out of touch. Or not being as respectful as they intended. 
      
    But it's not as complicated as it might seem. Linguistic anthropologist Suzanne Wertheim offers six easy-to-understand principles to guide any communication-written or spoken-with anyone: 
      
    - Reflect reality 
    - Show respect 
    - Draw people in 
    - Incorporate other perspectives 
    - Prevent erasure 
    - Recognize pain points 
      
    This guide clarifies the challenges-and the solutions-to using "they/them," and demonstrates why "you guys" isn't as inclusive as many people think. If you follow the principles, you'll know not to ask a female coworker with a wedding ring about her husband-because she might be married to a woman. And you'll avoid writing things like "America was discovered in 1492," because that's just when Europeans found it. 
     
    Filled with real-world examples, high-impact word substitutions, and exercises that boost new skills, this book builds a foundational toolkit so people can evaluate what is and isn't inclusive language on their own.

    Discover Henry David Thoreau’s philosophy of living a good life and learn how to apply it to your own.   The hero for our time is someone few people get right. Thoreau wasn’t a hermit in the woods. He lived during a time like ours, of rapid technological and economic changes, political division, and a pandemic. Thoreau, like us, reassessed his priorities: What does success really look like? What is my duty as an ethical citizen of a less-than-ethical world? How can I live a good life amid (insert hand-sweeping gesture) all of this?   His solution: Pare down to trade up.  Finding Your Walden combines classic literature with happiness studies, exploring how experts—psychologists, career coaches, and doctors—support Thoreau’s ideas as guideposts for today’s Great Reassessment. It combines insights of the 1854 classic with people who embrace the pare-down-to-trade-up philosophy today, whether through major life changes (such as tiny homes or sabbaticals) or smaller life hacks (like digital sabbaths or meditation practices). Their stories inspire us to apply creativity, simplicity, and peace to the experiment of life.  Finding Your Walden isn’t about shunning money or success. It’s about grappling with the purpose of the first and the meaning of the second. Whether you love Walden or haven’t read it, you can join Thoreau on a path to discover an intentional life during a volatile time—you just need to make a stop at a cabin on the way.
