The Perfect Sister
by Pedro Hugo García PeláezThe Perfect Sister by Pedro Hugo García Peláez is a novel that combines family drama and a social criticism through the story of Isaan, a young man who lives in times of crisis. The work is focused on the life of a family marked by financial difficulties and internal tensions, especially the relationship between Isaan and his father, who preaches a severe philosophy of success based on sacrifice. The novel explores themes like inequality, the struggle to succeed, and the decisions that the characters make in search of stability. The marriage of the oldest sister as a financial escape stands out. The narrative rests on the grandfather’s memories and stories, adding a nostalgic air that is culturally rooted in mining and rural life. It reflects how personal and financial crises mold the relationships and dreams of a family in transformation.
Mission: Eine zweite Chance für die Liebe
by Sandra SookooNoch nie war es so befriedigend, eine Hochzeit zu sprengen. Nora „Can't Say No“ Lenharts Leben ist alles andere als unkompliziert. Um dem Ganzen noch mehr Stress hinzuzufügen, wurde sie gerade zur Trauzeugin für die bevorstehende Hochzeit des schlimmsten Chefs der Welt ernannt und ihr Ex ist der Trauzeuge. Sieht so aus, als müsste sie Aktien eines Unternehmens für Antazida kaufen, während sie versucht, das grünäugige Monster des Hochzeitsboots zu verscheuchen. Camden Webber ist ein FBI-Agent mit einem riesigen Komplex – nämlich der Frau nicht verzeihen zu können, dass sie seinen Heiratsantrag vor fünf Jahren abgeschmettert hat, obwohl sie es normalerweise nicht schafft, Nein zu sagen. Obwohl er eine abgestumpfte Meinung zu Hochzeiten und Ehe hat, erklärt sich Cam bereit, seinem besten Freund zur Seite zu stehen. Schließlich sind Katastrophen doch interessant, oder? Als Nora und Camden bei einem Verlobungsessen aufeinander treffen, schmieden sie trotz ihrer turbulenten Liebesgeschichte einen Plan, um das ungleiche Brautpaar auseinanderzubringen. Als der große Tag näher rückt, erreichen die Emotionen ihren Höhepunkt und es zeigt sich, dass die Hochzeitsplanung eher für eine Reality-Show geeignet ist. Ein Happy End ist zwar optional, aber es existiert inmitten der Trümmer, wenn das Paar nur genau genug hinschaut.

Non sarei tornata se la situazione non fosse stata tanto spinosa. In quanto ninfa, la mia magia è abbastanza semplice: proteggere la riva, vegliare sulla fauna e la flora, e interagire con l' acqua. Ma un nuovo potere cova dentro di me e io non ho alcun controllo sul modo in cui si manifesta. Ed è questo che mi spinge a tornare alla fonte di tutto: devo trovare i miei simili per capire cosa mi sta succedendo. Ecco perché ho deciso di comprare una casa presso la riva di un fiume. Solo che non mi aspettavo di trovarci una strega morta già dalla mia prima visita. E neppure di vedere entrare in scena l'incantatrice più potente del luogo.

Auguratemi buona fortuna!" Questo racconto fantasy contemporaneo vi invita a scoprire il mondo della "Ninfa delle rive", parte dello stesso universo di "Windigo" della stessa autrice.

Little Talks with God (Paraclete Essentials)
by Catherine of Catherine of Siena"Eternal greatness! You made yourself low and small to make mankind great." While in an ecstatic trance, St. Catherine of Siena dictated The Dialogue. In this intense and searching work, she offers up petitions to God, filling her conversation with instruction on discernment, true and false spiritual emotion, obedience and truth, and revealing her famous image of Christ as the Bridge. Catherine's brilliant insights into the nature of the spiritual life have motivated Christians for centuries to unite a life of prayer with a life of action. "This have I told you, my sweetest daughter, that you might know the perfection of this union-producing state, when the eye of the intellect is ravished by the fire of my charity, in which it receives supernatural light. With this light the souls in the state of union love me, because love follows the intellect, and the more it knows the more it can love." (from the book)
God Will Provide: How God's Bounty Opened to Saints and 9 Ways It Can Open for You, Too
by Patricia TreeceA specialist in human goodness and recent saints, Patricia Treece offers the fruits of years of research on how God meets the material needs, in varying ways, of his people.

Other friends of God did seek donations and got them in amazing ways. Most intriguing of all, Treece found people living quietly anonymous lives secure in God's providence. From them she has learned to live that way, too. In this lively book she offers copious examples of ten universal principles to live by so you can join those who know, in good times or bad, God will provide.

Ladro di cuori (Gli avventurieri di Ravensmuir #2)
by Claire DelacroixCaro lettore, sono consapevole di aver agito in modo sfrontato, sfacciato e imperdonabile...e ammetto di non poter incolpare altri che me stessa. Sapevo con che tipo d'uomo avevo a che fare, sapevo che Gawain Lemmergeier era una canaglia e un malfattore. Eppure, quando ho tramato per sedurlo e reclamare ciò che era mio di diritto, non avrei mai immaginato che avrei ceduto al fascino di questo spericolato mascalzone dai capelli dorati. Sia chiaro, ho recuperato ciò per cui sono venuta, ovvero la sacra reliquia rubata a mio padre in grado di ristabilire le sorti del mio maniero, e mi sarei anche accontentata di tornare a casa con la mia ricompensa. Ma, ahimè, ho lasciato che il desiderio prendesse il controllo delle mie azioni. Perchè sì...mentre cercavo il mio tesoro, ho osato indurre in tentazione Gawain, gli ho permesso di battermi, di stregarmi e persino di portarmi a letto.

Chastity and the Soul: You Are Holy Ground
by Ronald Rolheiser"It takes both courage and a very clear head for a Catholic theologian to take on any issue regarding sexuality today. Ron Rolheiser succeeds here in a very positive, honest, and helpful way! His approach is brilliantly not sin-centered but value-centered. Bravo!" —Richard Rohr, O.F.M. Celibacy isn't for everyone, but Chastity is! With infinite wisdom and compassion, Ron Rolheiser gives us a fresh understanding of chastity, not based on repressions, prudishness, or even just sex, but on reverence, patience, and respect for ourselves and others in every area of life, that leads to true love, joy, community, and union with God These days, it's hard to say the word "chastity" without a cringe. But in this book, beloved teacher Fr. Ronald Rolheiser boldly champions the notion of chastity in its fullest meaning: respect, patience, reverence, and a God-given gift of propriety in every area of life—not just in the area of sex. In twenty-four power packed chapters, Fr. Ron compassionately and eloquently elaborates on how we can reclaim the lost virtue of chastity. He spells out the reasons for the death of chastity in our culture, the negative consequences of that has had on our souls and in our lives, the need for a healthy chastity in all areas of our lives, what constitutes that healthy chastity, and its positive consequences—so that we can say the word chastity without a cringe. This is a book not just for those believers seeking to live a holier life, but for all those who seek to live the fullest, most authentic life possible. Chastity and the Soul is the guide we all need to come to the realization that in God's eyes, each one of us is holy ground.

Good Enough: Learning to Let Go of Perfect for the Sake of Holy
by Wendi NunneryYou've checked all the boxes. You've followed all the rules. But something has still gone terribly wrong. This is where Wendi Nunnery—Jesus follower, college graduate, and newlywed—found herself eleven years ago. After years of meeting all the expectations set for a "good" Christian girl, she was suddenly spiraling into an unknown terror she would later discover was Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and questioning everything she'd ever known about herself and about God. It took nearly a decade, but eventually Wendi learned her value was fixed. Finished. Holy. And it's in the pages of this book where she lays out the story of how and invites you to come along, find a friend, and realize you are not alone in your wandering. Driven by thoughtful, poignant essays with just the right amount of colorful language, Good Enough tackles the lie that we are required to be perfect in order to be good and, most importantly, reveals the truth about how much we've already been given.

Journey to the Morning Light: Poems
by Catherine De VinckA posthumous collection of poems on the beauty of the seasons, creation, life and death, from beloved poet Catherine de Vinck.In the words of the Foreword by Mary Evelyn Tucker, the poetry of Catherine de Vinck, "calls us to ever greater awareness of who we are and where we dwell. She offers us glimpses of truth, not answers to our questions. She lights the path, sometimes with the brilliance of a single image. More often she surrounds us with the atmosphere of dusk—the twilight arising in our consciousness where mood and memory mingle."
