Khush'shāns'tar az hamah būdīm

Baseado na história real de uma família judaica que sobreviveu aos horrores da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Na primavera de 1939, três gerações da família Kurc fazem o melhor que podem para levar vidas normais, mesmo com a sombra de uma guerra se aproximando. As conversas ao redor da mesa no Seder não são sobre a ameaça a Radom, sua cidade natal na Polônia, e sim sobre bebês e relacionamentos. No entanto, assim que os horrores nazistas que se prenunciavam na Europa se tornam inevitáveis, a família Kurc é separada, e todos precisam desesperadamente encontrar um caminho para a segurança. Genek e sua esposa Herta são levados para o exílio na Sibéria, Addy tenta fugir do continente, enquanto os outros lutam para escapar da morte certa, seja trabalhando horas exaustivas de estômago vazio nas fábricas do gueto, seja se escondendo sob identidades falsas à vista de todos. Impulsionados por uma inabalável vontade de sobreviver e pelo medo de nunca mais voltar a se ver, a família Kurc precisa confiar na esperança, na engenhosidade e na força de vontade para perseverar. Baseado na história da família de Georgia Hunter, Somos os que tiveram sorte retrata como os Kurc, lutando para sobreviver aos horrores e às atrocidades que assolaram a Europa durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, jamais perderam a esperança. Esse livro é a prova de que, mesmo que sonhos e planos tenham de ser suspensos, jamais se deve desistir daquilo e daqueles que valem a pena.

Somos os que tiveram sorte

When the fairy tale life you believed in falls apart, there is nothing else left...Or so I thought, until Trouble, wrapped in one hunky body and a sinful smile promising untold pleasure of the carnal kind, lands on my doorstep. Despite what my body demands or the fact that I'm irresistibly drawn to him, I'd been burned too deeply to dare try again. Besides, Max Meade-Sinclair is my younger sister's best friend-and totally off-limits.Ila Logan's coolly dismissive manner captures and challenges me from the moment our paths cross. What I want, I usually get. A little thing like age isn't going to stop me. Neither are the men who disappear into her secluded room. However, she proves a difficult opponent who leaves me falling for her a little more at each encounter.This tempestuous woman is mine, but to win her, I must dig deeper, and show her that beneath my brawling, player facade exists a man who would go to the ends of the earth to make her happy.But surviving my own dark past may just destroy the fragile bond growing between us...

Breathless (Players to Men)

Yubi flees the Kingdom of Lavendula with three objects in his satchel and an old hag's song repeating in his head. On a quest to solve the mystery of the ancient laws and save the princess, he is pursued by ruthless Cross-eyed Org through the dark canals of Venice and beyond. His unusual cohort, Alex, a rat with more than just a blue tail, crisscrosses the story like the galleons on the high seas and provides a surprise ending. 'Yubi and the Blue-tailed Rat' is an adventure story with simple, yet beautifully descriptive language suitable for girls and boys ages nine to fifteen. The vocabulary, sentence length, and complexity of story would be excellent for reluctant YA readers or students of English.
