Book Description
A tender story about three sisters coming of age in Greece over the course of three summers, now available after being out of print for over twenty years. Three Summers is the story of three sisters growing up in the countryside near Athens before the Second World War. Living in a big old house surrounded by a beautiful garden are Maria, the oldest sister, as sexually bold as she is eager to settle down and have a family of her own; beautiful but distant Infanta; and dreamy and rebellious Katerina, through whose eyes the story is mostly observed. Over three summers, the girls share and keep secrets, fall in and out of love, try to figure out their parents and other members of the tribe of adults, take note of the weird ways of friends and neighbors, worry about and wonder who they are. Karen Van Dyck’s translation captures all the light and warmth of this modern Greek classic.

Book Description
Father Rex is a priest involved in the communist movement. Because of Annabelle, he begins to question the ideology he has followed for years. This novel spurns and condemns a bloody revolution as a solution to the problems of society, and gives an unapologetic argument that compassion rather than the pursuit of power is the noblest of human aspirations.

Book Description
Three Summers, a Fall, and One Winter: Hanging On to Your Sanity During Insane Times By: Ron Breazeale, PhD. A psychologist returns to his hometown in Tennessee during the pandemic to spend time with a childhood friend battling cancer and to solve the mystery of the disappearance 50 years ago of a fellow employee at a state psychiatric hospital they both worked at in the late ‘60s and to finally let go of the anger he carried with him when he left the South for a career in New England. “Dr. Breazeale and I grew up in a small southern town at a time when life seemed idyllic, at least to us kids. Ron gives us a personal trip through the coming of age that we all experienced as we went out into the “real world.” He deftly weaves this into several stories about his friends and in the process provides a moving and entertaining read.” - Fred H. Smith, PhD, biological anthropologist and friend “Breazeale’s well-written and vivid personal memories add valuable detail in context of the history of Eastern State Psychiatric Hospital and the countercultural era of the University of Tennessee.” - Jack Neely, writer and editor, Knoxville History Project “Drawn in by a decades-old unsolved disappearance and the death of his childhood friend, Dr. Breazeale gives us an introspective and candid look at Tennessee and the “old South,” modern-day northern New England, and his reconciliation of these two opposing cultures. Engaging and insightful, his story reminds us of what’s important, what should be remembered, and what should be left behind.” - Joseph Mazziotti, retired attorney and judge For more information and a collage of photographs from the summers of 1968, 1969, 2020, and 2021 visit: www.abilitycoach.net
