Book Description
'Facets Faces' is about breaking forced silence and speaking openly about grief, weaknesses, fears, and hopelessness while lying sleepless in bed at night. It is about truths young adults must learn while growing up and the beauty that affects our everyday lives. With her poetry, the author wants to convey to her readers that it is okay to be yourself as long as you are authentic and that life presents us all with challenges. But most importantly, she wants to reach those who feel they are not being heard.

Book Description
Perception is everything but simple. As a word, it is the same for everybody. But the meaning, the sound, the smell, the emotions behind it are unique to each person. Some may think a lot about how the world came to be or how certain things work, while others may not spend that kind of time in their thoughts. Employee Nr. 1T2B3 finds herself questioning the way of the world while being rushed around the globe by the people she works for, and realizes that everything seems wrong. While her own mind drives her mad, the owner of the company she works for is getting lost in his hunger for power and recognition - a dangerous kind of frenzy that could overshadow everything he has done up to this point.

Book Description
Poems about different Facades of Life, about different Facades of Me. Eine Sammlung von Gedichten, die verschiedene Facetten des Lebens widerspiegeln sei es Liebe, Selbstliebe, Hass, Trauer oder Wut. Diese Gedichte sollen zeigen, wie gleich wir Menschen tief im Inneren sind und dass wir alle aus unterschiedlichen Facetten bestehen. Diese Facetten unterscheiden uns, aber sie zeigen uns auch, wer wir sind und wie ähnlich wir uns sind. Denn jede Emotion, die wir Menschen empfinden können, ist wertvoll, und wir sollten dankbar dafür sein, dass wir diese Gefühle erleben und daraus lernen können.

Book Description
In the aftermath of an undisclosed kidnapping incident, the idyllic family was never something identical twins, Nikki and Taylin, were familiar with. Even in the care of their mother and her fiancé, far away from the abusive home they'd grown up in, they find picking through the shards of their tragic lives too much effort--for what is the use when the pieces are too small to be put back together?

Book Description
Electric Literature 25 Best Novels of 2014 Largehearted Boy Favorite Novels of 2014 "An extraordinary new literary talent."--The Daily Telegraph "In part a portrait of the artist as a young woman, this deceptively modest-seeming, astonishingly inventive novel creates an extraordinary intimacy, a sensibility so alive it quietly takes over all your senses, quivering through your nerve endings, opening your eyes and heart. Youth, from unruly student years to early motherhood and a loving marriage--and then, in the book's second half, wilder and something else altogether, the fearless, half-mad imagination of youth, I might as well call it—has rarely been so freshly, charmingly, and unforgettably portrayed. Valeria Luiselli is a masterful, entirely original writer."--Francisco Goldman In Mexico City, a young mother is writing a novel of her days as a translator living in New York. In Harlem, a translator is desperate to publish the works of Gilberto Owen, an obscure Mexican poet. And in Philadelphia, Gilberto Owen recalls his friendship with Lorca, and the young woman he saw in the windows of passing trains. Valeria Luiselli's debut signals the arrival of a major international writer and an unexpected and necessary voice in contemporary fiction. "Luiselli's haunting debut novel, about a young mother living in Mexico City who writes a novel looking back on her time spent working as a translator of obscure works at a small independent press in Harlem, erodes the concrete borders of everyday life with a beautiful, melancholy contemplation of disappearance. . . . Luiselli plays with the idea of time and identity with grace and intuition." —Publishers Weekly
