Book Description
This is a story about a little girl that had a special gift. It symbolizes all children and their uniqueness. The setting is in a big city where things move fast and parents are constantly rushing to and fro. Sometimes these parents are in their own world and forget to slow down to take the time out to share the beautifulness of their children's. The purpose of this book is to show each parent what great a gift they have been given in their child. Also, to express to each child reading this book, that they are beautifully made, uniquely created and always loved. My hopes are that children will no longer be afraid of the dark, neither be afraid of life. They will see that they are the closet source to God. Children are powerful and strong. They have enough love to illuminate the entire world. We should show great care for our children of this world, for they are our future. May God bless all the children of this world.

Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND A NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS' PICK “Thrilling . . . [told] with gonzo élan . . . When the sommelier and blogger Madeline Puckette writes that this book is the Kitchen Confidential of the wine world, she’s not wrong, though Bill Buford’s Heat is probably a shade closer.” —Jennifer Senior, The New York Times Professional journalist and amateur drinker Bianca Bosker didn’t know much about wine—until she discovered an alternate universe where taste reigns supreme, a world of elite sommeliers who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of flavor. Astounded by their fervor and seemingly superhuman sensory powers, she set out to uncover what drove their obsession, and whether she, too, could become a “cork dork.” With boundless curiosity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Bosker takes the reader inside underground tasting groups, exclusive New York City restaurants, California mass-market wine factories, and even a neuroscientist’s fMRI machine as she attempts to answer the most nagging question of all: what’s the big deal about wine? What she learns will change the way you drink wine—and, perhaps, the way you live—forever. “Think: Eat, Pray, Love meets Somm.” —theSkimm “As informative as it is, well, intoxicating.” —Fortune

Book Description
Perfect for readers of The Secret Life of Bees and The Help, a perceptive and searing look at Apartheid-era South Africa, told through one unique family brought together by tragedy. Life under Apartheid has created a secure future for Robin Conrad, a ten-year-old white girl living with her parents in 1970s Johannesburg. In the same nation but worlds apart, Beauty Mbali, a Xhosa woman in a rural village in the Bantu homeland of the Transkei, struggles to raise her children alone after her husband's death. Both lives have been built upon the division of race, and their meeting should never have occurred...until the Soweto Uprising, in which a protest by black students ignites racial conflict, alters the fault lines on which their society is built, and shatters their worlds when Robin’s parents are left dead and Beauty’s daughter goes missing. After Robin is sent to live with her loving but irresponsible aunt, Beauty is hired to care for Robin while continuing the search for her daughter. In Beauty, Robin finds the security and family that she craves, and the two forge an inextricable bond through their deep personal losses. But Robin knows that if Beauty finds her daughter, Robin could lose her new caretaker forever, so she makes a desperate decision with devastating consequences. Her quest to make amends and find redemption is a journey of self-discovery in which she learns the harsh truths of the society that once promised her protection. Told through Beauty and Robin's alternating perspectives, the interwoven narratives create a rich and complex tapestry of the emotions and tensions at the heart of Apartheid-era South Africa. Hum If You Don’t Know the Words is a beautifully rendered look at loss, racism, and the creation of family.

Book Description
She dreamed that she was standing on the edge of a cliff with the wind blowing all around her. It swept through her black hair and carried her lavender dress high above her knees. ... She felt immortal and untouchable by everything but God. The skies darkened suddenly, causing a storm with fierce rain and winds. ... The blow of the storm knocked her off the cliff, and she fell aimlessly down the side. Trying to grab hold of anything in her midst, she continued to fall, spinning rapidly to the bottom of the ravine. Out of nowhere came Nathanael; he scooped her up in his arms and placed her safely on the ground. They gazed at each other. She still had a hold of his neck as he leaned in to kiss her. At that moment, she heard her name being called. It echoed from far away, and she turned to face the call. Walking closer and closer, she reached an engulfing darkness as she gradually faded into consciousness. Eighteen-year-old Bianca longs for a break from her boring life in Oklahoma. After meeting Nathanael, a mysterious, handsome young man, at a party one night, Bianca is mesmerized. Nathanael encourages her to come to New Orleans with him, as he is a friend of her grandfather, whom she assumed was deceased. She accepts, and upon arriving in New Orleans, Nathanael shows her his deep secret: he is a vampire. Bianca is drawn to his underground world where her grandfather, Moritz, reigns as king of States Coven, but among these ancient people, not everyone is what they seem. Will Bianca escape from the evil clutches of Moritz, or will she fall victim to his powerful control? Discover the answers in Lela Lane's Bloodlines.
