Lawyer Jake Chastaine knows how things are supposed to be, and it doesn't include a mix-up at a fertility clinic or fathering a child with a woman he's never met. And looking at the vivid redhead who was the mother, he realized he missed out on something spectacular. It's supposed to be "first comes love, then comes marriage" -- maybe this time things will happen a little differently.

Plus, it will give her the chance to help her free-spirited grandmother, Adelaide, sort through her things before moving into assisted living.

And as they go through her belongings, her grandmother recalls the wartime romance that left her torn between two men and haunted by a bone-chilling secret"--

The Wedding Tree

"World War II Paris serves as the backdrop of a story of compassion, betrayal, and forgiveness from the national bestselling author of The Wedding Tree. "I never knew what he saw in you." At her assisted living center in Wedding Tree, Louisiana, ninety-three-year-old Amelie O'Connor is in the habit of leaving her door open for friends. One day she receives an unexpected visitor--Kat Thompson, the ex-fiancee of her late husband, Jack. Kat and Jack were high school sweethearts who planned to marry when Jack returned from France after World War II. But in a cruel twist of fate, their plans were irrevocably derailed when a desperate French girl overheard an American officer's confession in a Parisian church. Now Kat wants to know the truth behind a story that's haunted her whole life. Finding out how Amelie stole Jack's heart will--she thinks--finally bring her peace. As Amelie recalls the dark days of the Nazi occupation of Paris, The French War Bride reveals how history shapes the courses of our lives... for better or for worse. READERS GUIDE INSIDE"--

Il passato non si può cancellare Una storia di passione e perdono nella Parigi della seconda guerra mondiale Cos’è successo tanti anni fa a Parigi? Cos’ha sconvolto la vita della giovane Kat? È passato tanto tempo da allora, ma Kat non ha mai smesso di cercare una risposta... Nella casa di riposo in cui vive, in Louisiana, Amélie O’Connor ha l’abitudine di lasciare la porta della propria stanza aperta, in attesa di amici. Ma la visita che un giorno riceve è assolutamente inaspettata: la donna che si presenta è infatti Kat Thompson, l’ex fidanzata del suo defunto marito, Jack. Kat e Jack progettavano di sposarsi dopo il ritorno di lui dalla Francia, alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale. Ma i loro piani furono stravolti a causa di una giovane donna francese che, a detta di Kat, “strappò” al bell’ufficiale americano un sì proprio a Parigi. Quella donna era Amélie... Sarà un ritorno al passato, quello che le due donne dovranno affrontare, un ritorno alla giovinezza, ai rispettivi amori, ma anche ai giorni bui dell’occupazione nazista. Un dolore cui Amélie non può sottrarsi, perché Kat non è disposta ad andarsene senza conoscere la storia che ha cambiato per sempre la sua vita. Un confronto doloroso tra due donne passionali Un passato impossibile da dimenticare Una storia potente che parla di ricordi e di perdono «Emozionante, con personaggi memorabili e una storia commovente. Unisce un umorismo sottile a una scrittura evocativa.» Library Journal «Una trama sapientemente intrecciata che unisce il presente all’occupazione nazista in Francia. Una lettura piacevole che però non ignora gli aspetti più tristi della guerra.» Historical Novel Society Robin WellsHa lavorato nel settore della comunicazione per anni, ma ha sempre sognato di scrivere romanzi.

Microeconomics

KRUGMAN SURE TO ENLIVEN THE AP* ECONOMICS CLASSROOM The 2008 Nobel Prize winner, Paul Krugman, has become the person Americans most often turn to explain what economic policy means to their lives—and how events in their lives reflect important economic concepts. That ability extends to the AP* high school course, where Krugman and Wells’ Economics has proven to be an exceptionally effective textbook. The unique voice that makes Krugman the most widely read economist in the U.S. (and perhaps the world) is evident on every page of Economics. The product of the partnership of coauthors Krugman and Robin Wells, will be available in a new edition for Fall 2009 classes. AP teachers can count on the authors’ ability to explain economics concepts, interpret current events, and develop students’ understanding with classroom-proven pedagogy.
