Beschreibung

“A heart-warming story that celebrates the bonds of friends, family and sisterhood. This is a beautifully crafted novel.” —Kristina Seek, author of The Hashtag Hunt As a group of eighty-something girlfriends deals with the mental decline of their sorority sister, they reconnect with their college sorority, advise their grandchildren, find new lives for themselves, and continue to show up for each other.  Vivian, nicknamed “Button,” is an Alzheimer’s patient who adores her sorority group. Helen rediscovers love at age eighty-one, Ida’s crazy side comes out during football season, and Laney is the “big sister” in charge of baking for the group. These three women consistently show up for Vivian as her mental health deteriorates—because that is what sisters do. As they discover a new way of life, they find they would rather take “the road less traveled,” just as they did in their college days.“I love books that represent the values of female friendships and supporting one another. The way these women show up for each other is truly inspiring.” —Pat Mitchell, Co-Founder and Curator of TEDWomen and author of Becoming a Dangerous Woman“I think fans of Steel Magnolias will love this book! I recommend it wholeheartedly!” —Carey Conley, coauthor of Keep Looking Up“A truly endearing book . . . We all need our tribe, our pride and to think about our special relationships and their lifetime impact personally and on future generations.” —Robin White Fanning, President of the Phi Mu Foundation“Sorority sister or not, this book is an incredible portrayal of sisterhood and friendship that will warm your heart.” —Kelin Kushin, Chief Business Development Officer at Vivid Vision

    "If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden."
    
    When the sour and neglected Mary Lennox is sent from India to live in her uncle's gloomy mansion on the Yorkshire moors, she finds a world of silence and secrets. But the moor holds a mystery: a walled garden, locked away for ten years, its key buried and forgotten. With the help of the spirited Dickon and her hidden cousin Colin, Mary discovers that as she tends to the withered roses, her own heart begins to bloom. This is a story of how the "Magic" of the natural world can mend broken spirits and turn a house of shadows into a home of light.
    
    The Art of Becoming: The Secret Garden is a profound exploration of character growth. Mary Lennox begins as one of literature's most unlikable heroines—spoiled, "contrary," and yellow-skinned—only to be transformed by manual labor, fresh air, and friendship. Through the characters of Colin and Mary, Burnett illustrates her belief in the connection between physical health and a positive mind, making it a pioneering work of psychological resilience.
    
    A Celebration of the Wild: The Yorkshire moor itself is a living character in the book—vast, windy, and untamed. It stands in stark contrast to the stifling atmosphere of Mary's life in India and the locked rooms of the manor. Burnett's vivid prose captures the sensory experience of the changing seasons, from the first grey mist of spring to the lush, hidden paradise of summer.
    
    Unlock the door to a world of wonder. Purchase "The Secret Garden" today and witness the magic of growth.

    Emma Donohue begs to differ. 
     
    When a late night accident claims the love of her life, Emma secludes herself in memories of James. In his sandy brown hair and clear blue eyes. In their innocent first kiss and declarations of love. In their plans for a life together after college. But happy dreams can’t rid her of the guilt she carries. She can’t erase her actions the night he died. She can’t erase her reaction at his funeral. And she can’t erase the hollow void that fills her chest and consumes her heart. 
      
    The first time Emma hears James’ voice, she’s astounded. It sounds as if he’s standing right beside her, and she fears her shattered heart is trying to drive her mad. But, as she continues to hear the voice, she finds comfort in it. With the help of her best friend Shel and handsome newcomer Dane, she tries to move forward and start living again. 
     
    Until the voice in her head turns out to be more. So much more.

    Hot summer fun where you’ll change…in more ways than one. Librarian Mara Scioto lives a nice, neat, orderly existence—except when she’s being attacked by uncontrolled male shifters who need to mate. Pesky little detail, right? Raised by a grandmother who hates all shifters, she has one wish: to make it past the age of twenty-five without experiencing The Morph that tells you you’re one of them. And then the letter from Camp Shifter arrives with her name on it... Orthopedic surgeon in training Jack Karsten is waiting to see if he’ll follow in his shifter brother’s footsteps. Being a shifter won’t be so bad, if that’s his destiny, but when he meets Mara, he realizes that fate and love don’t always align. But love always wins. It can be a bear of an ordeal sorting it all out, but if anyone can help, it’s the staff at Camp Shifter. While they’ll train Jack and Mara on the ways of shifter life, there’s one thing they can’t teach them: How to get out of their own way and let love leave them changed. Forever.

    Memorial de Aires

    Machado de Assis

    Memorial de Aires, also known as Counselor Aires' Memorial, is the final novel by Machado de Assis and a luminous conclusion to the career of one of Brazil's greatest literary masters. Written in the form of a reflective diary, this subtle and introspective work offers a deeply human meditation on love, aging, memory, and the quiet ironies of everyday life.
    
    Narrated by the observant and cultivated Counselor Aires, a retired diplomat, the novel unfolds through personal journal entries that chronicle the lives of those within his social circle in Rio de Janeiro. With gentle wit and refined detachment, Aires records conversations, social visits, and emotional undercurrents, revealing far more than the surface events suggest. His perspective—worldly, tolerant, and tinged with melancholy—guides readers through a delicate exploration of human relationships.
    
    At the heart of the narrative is the widowed couple Fidélia and Tristão, whose evolving bond becomes a focal point of curiosity and speculation within their community. As their relationship develops, Aires observes not only their affection but also the subtle dynamics of expectation, convention, and personal longing that shape their choices. Through these intimate portrayals, Machado examines themes of companionship, second chances, and the quiet resilience of the human heart.
    
    Unlike dramatic or plot-driven novels, Memorial de Aires thrives on nuance and psychological depth. Machado's prose is elegant and restrained, infused with irony that is never harsh but always perceptive. Beneath the calm surface of social rituals lies a rich reflection on time's passage and the bittersweet awareness that accompanies later life.
    
    This final work stands apart for its serenity and wisdom. It does not seek grand conflict but instead illuminates the beauty found in reflection and understanding. In Counselor Aires, Machado de Assis creates a narrator who embodies maturity and empathy, offering insight into both the follies and the grace of human nature.
    
    Poignant, refined, and quietly profound, Memorial de Aires is a masterpiece of subtle storytelling and a fitting farewell from one of literature's most insightful observers of the human condition.
