Paging Aphrodite
by Kim GreenFour strong women from different walks of life in Australia, London and San Francisco, they've all come to the breathtakingly beautiful isle of Corfu seeking the same thing - refuge. Between marriage woes, dead-end careers, and demanding families, these women need a vacation - a little sun, a few shots of Sambuca, and a couple of sexy Greek men will surely allow them to relax, right? Maybe not. Australian Claire Dillon is 46, still has amazing legs, and is ready for a change. Her husband is having an affair with a 29-year old masseuse, and her gay son is looking for a father figure in a series of unsuitable boyfriends. When she takes off for Corfu in the middle of disaster, everyone says she's gone mad - and she's out to prove them right. Parker Glass' marriage lasted eleven days, not exactly what the perfectionist interior designer from San Francisco had dreamed of. After a breakdown at work, her partner firmly suggests she use her scheduled honeymoon time for some much needed sun and relaxation in the Greek Isles. At first, the vacation seems just the thing for getting her life back on track. . . but sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. Anya Soberanes is convinced she's cursed - how else could she still be looking for her soulmate? When her aunt finds her unconscious in her San Francisco apartment after inadvertently overdosing on sleeping pills and telenovelas, her parents give her an ultimatum: either take a vacation with her friend's sister Parker, or check into a mental-health facility. As Anya discovers, facing her fears is easy in Greece - it's making her dreams come true that's the hard part. 25-year old Londoner Kelah Morris wants more than anything to publish a brilliant novel and prove to her editor mother that she's destined for more than selling popcorn at the cinema. All Kelah needs is an escape from her overbearing parents, dead-end job, jailbird brother and just-published friends to free herself of her infamous writer's block. Butshe doesn't factor in the possibility of wild career success and true love on her island getaway. Together, these four women discover that sometimes you need to get away from it all to discover what you really need.

Palabra de honor
by Ana María MachadoPalabra de honor es la historia de una saga familiar, narrada con el estilo inconfundible de una gran autora. El tío Adelino se marchó de la aldea a los muelles de Lisboa, y de allí al ancho mar. Tras su estela, el niño José decidió seguir el rumbo que le dictaba el corazón: cruzar el océano e intentar fortuna en Brasil.

Palabra de madre: El poder de la maternidad
by Ibone Olza¿Qué es ser madre? Palabra de madre parte de la historia personal de la autora, como madre y como profesional de la sanidad y activista, para plantear sus contradicciones e indecisiones en torno a la experiencia maternal, así como su desconcierto acerca de cómo los sistemas de salud de nuestra sociedad han ignorado y boicoteado la sabiduría reunida en relación con ella. «Me gustaría comprender qué clase de madre he sido. Captar, aunque sea de manera fugaz, el núcleo de mi experiencia maternal. Y así, de paso, comprender mejor la experiencia maternal en su sentido más amplio: la de todas las madres. Empecé a ser consciente de la profunda escisión, de cómo los sistemas de salud han ignorado a las madres y negado sus experiencias y conocimientos, y de cómo la ausencia de ese conocimiento maternal ha dado lugar a una ciencia sesgada y en muchos casos dañina. Todo ese conocimiento basado en la evidencia científica se estrella a diario contra la realidad de una sociedad heredera de décadas y siglos de desprecio hacia la maternidad.» Así, las circunstancias personales de cada madre, a menudo tortuosas y adversas, adquieren otro matiz cuando las analizamos desde lo histórico-social. «Mis circunstancias... Tendré que volver sobre ellas para lo que me propongo: comprender a la madre que fui y a la que ahora soy, con la esperanza de que tal vez sirva para entender y cuidar mejor al resto de las madres». Sobre Palabra de madre: «Todas las madres nos merecemos este libro. Porque todas sin excepción necesitamos estas palabras balsámicas para aplacar las soledades de la maternidad contemporánea. Ibone Olza nos regala un espejo de vivencias, luchas,intuiciones, dudas y cicatrices, que de tan propias se convierten en colectivas. Este libro viene a politizar la culpa endémica (y algunas otras heridas) que se nos inocula desde una sociedad profundamente maternofóbica. Y lo hace con toda la potencia de la ternura, la empatía radical y una catártica escritura».Silvia Nanclares, autora de Quién quiere ser madre «Palabra de madre es un libro honesto y emocionante, político y poético, capaz de acompañar a todas las madres que tienen todavía heridas abiertas en el cuerpo y en la memoria. Ibone Olza ha escrito este libro para todas nosotras. Y también para una sociedad que sigue dando la espalda a las madres».Carmen G. de la Cueva, autora de Mamá, quiero ser feminista

Palabras para sobrevivir: Un testimonio real sobre el Holocausto
by Joshua M. Greene Renee HartmanUn libro perfecto para que los niños conozcan la historia del Holocausto: una memoria que habla sobre la importancia de la sororidad, el amor y el recuerdo del pasado. En aquel momento tenía diez años, y mi hermana, ocho. Era mi responsabilidad avisar a todos cuando venían los soldados, porque tanto mi hermana como mis padres eran sordos. Yo era los oídos de mi familia.Renee y Herta vivieron lo inimaginable juntas, como hermanas. Esta es su historia real. Como muchos judíos checoslovacos en los años 40, Renee y su familia estaban en peligro cuando el Holocausto llegó a su puerta. La única persona oyente de su familia, Renee, era la encargada de comunicarse con el mundo exterior. Hablando con lenguaje de signos y apoyándose entre ellas, Renee y Herta lucharon para sobrevivir la época más oscura de su vida.Este testimonio de una de las pocas supervivientes del Holocausto es una prueba del poder de la sororidad y el amor, y un recordatorio de lo importante que es no olvidar el pasado. Una historia real, impactante y conmovedora a partes iguales. Adaptado para niños y niñas a partir de 9 años.
