Beschreibung

Chi trova un amico trova un tesoro.  
"Whoever finds a friend finds a treasure."  
Italian saying  
 
Grace and Claire have formed a close friendship over their love of reading. After many years and many books that provided armchair adventures, the time has come for them to go somewhere instead of only dreaming of someday.  
 
Traveling to Venice, Florence, and Bellagio, the Suitcase Sisters find themselves immersed in the magnificent works of art, scrumptious gelato flavors, and endless pasta variations of Italy. And they discover a vulnerability to disclose their struggles in ways they never did at home. As Grace experiences a newfound freedom and confidence in who she is, Claire wrestles with painful memories of her teen years. 
 
A special dinner party brings unexpected revelations about faith and God's nearness. Then a life-changing moment on the shores of Lake Lugano causes Grace and Claire to discover they are not just tourists but pilgrims on a path to becoming all God created them to be.  
 
Robin Jones Gunn whisks you away to experience the incredible culture of Northern Italy in this inspiring, faith-based contemporary fiction with themes of European travel, midlife adventures, and lifelong friendships, making this a perfect book club selection.

    MAGIC, MYTH AND MYSTERY. 
    The rust bucket of a truck bumps down the track towards the highway, and Robin and Rose’s eyes are fixed on the road ahead, him seeming to look for potholes that could crack the axle while actually keeping the spell strong, so she never thinks to look back. 
    Before time came into existence there was only forever. Before the us we’ve come to relate to—cell phone and air travel and debt—there was wilderness. Oceans, vast skies, mountain chains frozen or volcanic, seasons of swelter or snow, endless, unchainsawed forests, and the sídhe mound beneath roundhouse fortress known as Castle Pook. There was fear, explicable only through tales of wonder and monsters. 
    When Rose’s father is murdered, seemingly senselessly, Rose buries him in Ireland near the grave of her mother. With secrets being unearthed, of ancient magic, king’s legends, and horsehair talismans, Rose is thrust into a way of seeing the world—an understanding of love—she never would have thought possible if he had not died. A deal made with a faerie man long ago.Is anything random? Or is everything that happens predestined. 
    Who, after all, was her father? 
    The Legends of the Sídhe series is a rewilded ecology in language contemporary mythology.

    Three Dramatic Action Screenplays-Three Entertaining Thrill Rides! There are good reasons why compelling action stories are popular. They give us the catharsis of adrenaline-pumping risk and danger, the rush of edge-of-your seat suspense, and a welcome escape from the sameness of everyday life. These three stories provide all that and more-and even better, they're given to you in the wonderfully readable format of screenplays. As you read, you have the chance to be the director as well as the audience-and you'll appreciate the format, easy on the eyes compared to prose fiction. Visions in the Tunnel exposes the dead-end life of an aging civil engineer, Calvin Sweatt, whose life is changed by a yoga studio that isn't what it seems. As he faces adventures he couldn't have imagined, he has to decide what his values really are...and whether he's going to live by them. Under the Double Eagle introduces you to the fascinating and dangerous world of the rare coin trade, focusing on a coveted 1933 solid gold Double Eagle coin...a coin that should have been destroyed when President Roosevelt took America off the gold standard. Entrepreneur Leon Hambright and his sexy girlfriend April chase the coin right into the net of Marc Pinion, owner of a chain of shady Asian massage parlors, who will stop at nothing to get what he wants-will Leon and April also sacrifice the people they love to get the fabulous coin, or will they challenge Marc on his own territory? Crimson in the Cowee introduces Ashwin Kingfisher, a young Cherokee man who is at odds with his heritage. Although he is a physicist, he is working temporarily at a tourist campground and ruby mine. Fate has a few surprises in store for Ashwin, including his growing interest in Riley, the daughter of the campground owners. But an even bigger surprise comes in the form of Baxter Earl, the ruthless owner of the adjacent property. To survive Baxter's game, Ashwin must learn more about himself-and he finds

So it is in a simple cowl and peasant's dress that she emerges from the island's mists and faces the famed warrior chief of the Highlands.

And soon Millicent discovers that beneath his unruly beard and grim demeanor, Lyon just may be the most handsome—and caring—man she's ever encountered. For the first time in her life, she realizes that she is alive—alive with a smoldering desire for the one man she'll love forever…
