David Rawlings

In a similar vein to The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews or Dinner with a Perfect Stranger by David Gregory, The Baggage Handler is a contemporary story that explores one question: What baggage are you carrying? "The Baggage Handler by David Rawlings is an extraordinary novel that lingered in my heart long after I finished it."--Colleen Coble, USA Today bestselling author of The House at Saltwater Point and the Lavender Tide series When three people take the wrong suitcase from baggage claim, their lives change forever. A hothead businessman coming to the city for a showdown meeting to save his job. A mother of three hoping to survive the days at her sister's house before her niece's wedding. And a young artist pursuing his father's dream so he can keep his own alive. When David, Gillian, and Michael each take the wrong suitcase from baggage claim, the airline directs them to retrieve their bags at a mysterious facility in a deserted part of the city. There they meet the enigmatic Baggage Handler, who shows them there is more in their baggage than what they have packed, and carrying it with them is slowing them down in ways they can't imagine. And they must deal with it before they can leave. In this modern-day parable about the burdens that weigh us down, David Rawlings issues an inspiring invitation to lighten the load.

Daniel, Kelly, and Milly appear to be the perfect family. But an old camera will expose secrets no one wants developed. Daniel Whitely is a successful marriage counselor and bestselling author, yet his own marriage is in crisis and his daughter is drifting further away each day. To make matters worse, the deadline for his second book has come and gone, and he still hasn’t written a single word. When Daniel inherits an old camera from his grandfather, he notices an inscription on the bottom: “No matter what you think you might see, the camera never lies.” Daniel begins using the camera, but every time he develops his photos, they threaten to reveal secrets that could sabotage both his marriage and his career—exposing him as a fraud and destroying the life he has worked so hard to build. He’s faced with a choice: keep his secrets and save his career or come clean and possibly save his family. Which will he choose? Which would you choose? Praise for The Camera Never Lies: "In his intriguing novel, The Camera Never Lies, David Rawlings challenges us to wonder what our photographs would look like if our souls, not our faces, were captured by the lens. This fascinating story will capture your imagination and your heart."—Rachel Hauck, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Dress “The camera never lies, and neither does this gripping story about unearthing our deepest secrets in the most fantastical of ways. A message relatable to us all, bottled in an adventure we all love to read.”—Melissa Ferguson, author of The Dating Charade "A thought-provoking look at the real price that secrets extract—not just from the person keeping them, but from their loved ones, too.You'll close this story and be compelled to examine your own life . . . and also look at those around you and wonder, 'Who else looks like they have it all together but is drowning on the inside?'"—Jessica Kate, author of Love and Other Mistakes

The Camera Never Lies

castigator al Premiului Christy pentru cel mai bun roman de debut O poveste contemporana care exploreaza intrebarea: Ce bagaj porti? Bagajele pierdute pot strica orice calatorie. Dar daca ti-ar putea schimba viata? Aceasta carte va rezona profund cu cei care s-au lasat legati pentru prea mult timp de lucrurile care i-au tinut captivi. Eu sunt unul dintre acestia. Poate si tu. Deschide-o si pregateste‑te ca lumea ta sa ia o intorsatura radicala, ca mai apoi toate lucrurile sa se aseze la locul potrivit. —James L. Rubart Pasagerii unui zbor isi asteapta nerabdatori bagajele intr-un aeroport. In invalmaseala creata, trei dintre ei – o mama, un businessman si un tanar artist – iau din greseala alte bagaje decat pe ale lor, dar nu isi dau seama de incurcatura decat dupa ce ajung la destinatie. Gillian, David si Michael sunt indrumati de compania aeriana sa isi recupereze valizele intr-un loc misterios, dintr-o parte pustie a orasului. Acolo intalnesc un Bagajist enigmatic care le arata ca bagajul fiecaruia contine mai mult decat au impachetat, iar ceea ce cara ei cu atata inversunare ii incetineste mai mult decat si-ar putea imagina. Fiecare dintre ei trebuie sa faca o alegere inainte de a putea parasi cladirea. Aprecieri pentru aceasta carte „Bagajistul, scris de David Rawlings, este un roman extraordinar care mi-a ramas intiparit in inima mult timp dupa ce l-am terminat de citit. Scrierea fabuloasa a lui Rawlings a scos in evidenta ipoteza neobisnuita care m-a facut sa ma gandesc la propriul meu bagaj. Vreau ca toti cei pe care ii cunosc sa citeasca aceasta carte!“ —Colleen Coble, autoarea bestsellerurilor din seria Lavender Tides „Abia asteptam sa reiau lectura romanului de fiecare data cand eram nevoit sa il pun deoparte. Sunt convins ca vei simti la fel. Bagajistul este o povestire care va rezona profund cu cei care au tinut prea strans, pentru prea mult timp lucrurile care i-au tinut captivi. Eu sunt unul dintre acestia. Poate si tu. Deschide-o si pregateste-te ca lumea ta sa ia o intorsatura radicala, ca mai apoi toate lucrurile sa se aseze la locul potrivit.“ —James L. Rubart, autorul bestsellerului The Man He Never Was
