Kaya McLaren gives us a powerful, deeply moving story of a family in desperate need of healing and the paths each of them must walk to find it, and shows us how we might all find hope if we can pause long enough to listen to the whispers of nature." —Barbara O'Neal, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Amazon Charts #1 bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids In Kaya McLaren's What's Worth Keeping, during one unforgettable summer, three generations of one family receive the best gift of all time: a second chance...

With the help of her eccentric great aunt and a Clydesdale named T. Rex, Carly just may find her faith in her future again. Amy, Paul, and Carly discover that love and family are worth keeping in this powerful, emotional, and hopeful novel.

Book Description
Uriah and Claire know their fight to be with each other is far from over, but the final battle they must face is one they never expected. Claire never thought she would be the one saving anybody’s life. She never thought she would discover a secret destiny, either. Finding Uriah is Claire’s top priority because, without her, he will never be able to defeat the Matwau. To find him, she needs help from the one person she trusts least. Quaile. Claire needs the book Quaile has kept hidden from the rest of the tribe. Claire desperately hopes it will hold the answers she needs to save Uriah’s life. The book does hold answers, but not to everything. Lost memories, acceptance of destiny, and looking outside of reality provide a pathway to the answers they need most, but they also hold the power to break them both. The prices asked of them may finally be too high. If they are, their deaths will only be the beginning.

Princess Vaidie had lived a confused and unhappy life since she was given the Armor of VIMOX, she decided not to go back in her imagination. But, she could not stop that for too long. One day, she again entered in her imagination by using the most powerful technique of meditation to go out of the kingdom of Vimox in search of Prince Lex. Thousands of years back, their own families hanged both of them alive in a tree near the river. The girl, Naranta, was considered profane as she was almost naked with Sushruta when they stepped out of the river. People thought they had a relationship and both were making an excuse to save them. But! No one knew that this was not going to be end of their lives rather it was the beginning of a new history between the two different worlds. Finally, the patience of Narantaka broke down; when he realized that he could be defeated. He thought of a cabal and threw some sand in the air; it interrupted the vision of Vaidie and Parnika. A good chance for him, he walked with his shaky legs towards his sword. He managed to pick it up and approached Parnika who was near to him; she was on her knees and wiping her eyes and trying to clean her vision. Narantaka was stepping toward her with the naked blade of his sword. Due to the sand in the air, Master Coeing and others could not see what was going on there… there was a deep silence and everyone was thrilled...

Category : Social Science

Pages : 267
Book Description
When ruthless drug baron John Haase was sentenced to 18 years' imprisonment for heroin-trafficking in 1995, it was a major victory for Customs and the police. But in a shock move, after Haase and his partner Paul Bennett had served only 11 months, then Home Secretary Michael Howard signed a Royal Pardon for their release. Howard defended his decision by revealing that Haase and Bennett had become invaluable informants. But Haase had in fact duped the authorities, and far from being forced into hiding as a supergrass, he gained new kudos among the criminal underworld for beating the system so audaciously. Graham Johnson interviewed Haase at Whitemoor prison and has obtained a copy of his sworn affidavit revealing the truth behind the Royal Pardon scandal. Allegations of huge bribes, mass fabrication of evidence and dark powers at the heart of the justice system make this an explosive exposé of Britain's number-one drug kingpin.

Pages : 217
Book Description
Turkey is a land torn between East and West, and between its glorious past and a dangerous, unpredictable future. After the violence of an attempted military coup against President Erdogan in 2016, an event which shocked the world, journalist and novelist Kaya Genc travelled around his country on a quest to find the places and people in whom the contrasts of Turkey's rich past meet. As suicide bombers attack Istanbul, and journalists and teachers are imprisoned, he walks the streets of the famous Ottoman neighbourhoods, telling the stories of the ordinary Turks who live among the contradictions and conflicts of Anatolia, one of the world's oldest civilizations. The Lion and the Nightingale presents the spellbinding story of a country whose history has been split between East and West, between violence and beauty - between the roar of the lion and the song of the nightingale. Weaving together a mixture of memoir, interview and his own autobiography, Genc takes the reader on a contemporary journey through the contradictory soul of the Turkish nation.

Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder.

Dive into this action-packed billionaire enemies to lovers, fake relationship contemporary romance! Kaya Reynolds is a distraction, a rage-inducing pain in my ass, and an absolute magnet for trouble. But when you’re a Rogues agent, you don’t get to pick your assignments. Unfortunately, you don’t get to decline them either. And that’s how I ended up fake engaged to the most infuriating women I’ve ever met. The Rogues Division is a top-secret, highly-classified, “I’d tell you but I’d have to kill you” kind of organization. The kind of organization the government pretends not to love having at its disposal. Kaya Reynolds is our latest asset. If I want to bring down the man who killed my fiancé, I’ve got to keep her safe. Thing is, the last time I saw her, she kissed the hell out of me….because she was being chased by his goons and she needed a distraction. But something sparked between us—something I have no business thinking about day and night. Especially when we’re only pretending to like each other. Aren’t we? Yes we are! This marriage is just for show. I refuse to be tempted by my curvy assignment’s soft satin lips, dark mischievous eyes, or the way she looks at me. Even when we’re not playing our roles…. But nope, NOPE! I lost someone I loved once. And I’m not letting anybody else into my heart. I’m not going there with the woman I’m only pretending to love. It’s all about staying in control.
