Book Description
Perfect for fans of Kathryn Erskine’s Mockingbird and Holly Goldberg Sloan’s Counting by 7s, this is a stunningly unique and poignant story of one girl’s strength and courage as she decides who she is and what she will believe in. Behind the white-washed walls of the Arizona compound, life was simple. Follow the rules, "live in the light," and all would be well. Zylynn was excited to turn thirteen and begin the work of bringing others into the light, to save them from the liars and the darkness of the outside world. But when she is taken away by a man who claims to be her father, Zylynn is confused, and desperate to return to her home. Zylynn resists her new life—until she finds small comforts, like shampoo, the color pink, and strawberries. But as her thirteenth birthday approaches, Zylynn must make a difficult decision—to stay here with the enemy, or find her way back to the light. And neither may be what they seem.

The Liar in Your Life
Author: Robert Feldman
Publisher: Twelve
ISBN: 0446552194
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
In The Liar in Your Life, psychology professor Robert Feldman, one of the world's leading authorities on deception, draws on his immense body of knowledge to give fresh insights into how and why we lie, how our culture has become increasingly tolerant of deception, the cost it exacts on us, and what to do about it. His work is at once surprising and sobering, full of corrections for common myths and explanations of pervasive oversimplifications. Feldman examines marital infidelity, little white lies, career-driven resumé lies, and how we teach children to lie. Along the way, he reveals-despite our beliefs to the contrary- how it is nearly impossible to spot a liar (studies have shown no relationship between nervousness, lack of eye contact, or a trembling voice, and acts of deception). He also provides startling evidence of just how integral lying is to our culture; indeed, his research shows that two people, meeting for the first time, will lie to each other an average of three times in the first ten minutes of a conversation. Feldman uses this discussion of deception to explore ways we can cope with infidelity, betrayal, and mistrust, in our friends and family. He also describes the lies we tell ourselves: Sometimes, the liar in your life is the person you see in the mirror. With incisive clarity and wry wit, Feldman has written a truthful book for anyone who whose life has been touched by deception.

The Liars' Guide to Escaping Reality
Author: Mohawk Mike
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1434399095
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
During 1963, as the United States was yielding to the second British invasion, master painter Marc Chagall exhibited his work La Revolution in Europe, demonstrating his unique genius, a blending Russian Expressionism with French Cubist influences. Though it is almost a certainty that the chivalrous artist had no intention that fateful morning of rescuing a lady in distress on the boardwalk of Nice, their serendipitous affair would inspire him to create, perhaps, his most colorful masterpiece of all La Reine du Carnival de Nice. Fast-forward to the mid-1990's. The Berlin Wall had long since fallen, Marc Chagall had died, his painting was worth a fortune, and it was about to become the center of an odyssey, a twisting and turning saga where a murder results in freedom from a callous prison, an enchanted journey of champagne dreams and white lightning nightmares of reality, a magnetic story that would involve an international cast of interesting, sympathetic, and sinister characters. None of them seemed to know all the facts surrounding the valuable artwork, but each player intended to become wealthy. The fascinating events spanned over forty years and captivated people from three continents. Discover how the artist Marc Chagall, the last great survivor of the School of Paris, his Russian beauty, a California entrepreneur, an Ophthalmologist, a Polish ex-convict, and his gullible brother all converge in an adventure that will end when only one person finally has The Lost Chagall.

Her Worst Nightmare

Book Description
I didn't know if I was daydreaming or not, but I was quite sure that something just moved so fast behind my back. I guess it was my pet cat jack, but he was supposed to be sleeping in his little room right now. It was late at night and I had woken up to a strange noise in the parlour. This wasn't the first time I was hearing this noise...I was determined to know what is going on and why the noise kept coming. "Oh my God! What's that?" I shrieked in fear as I saw something standing below me in the darkness. I had a dim lighted lamp and before I could switch on the light, the thing had disappeared! That was certainly not jack my cat, or could it be him? I went straight to his room and saw him soundly asleep as expected. And just as I was about turning to go back to my room, I felt the presence of someone standing right before me. In fear, I slowly turned my face to look at it but before I could, what I heard startled me enough to not bother looking at it. "Your Soul Is Mine!" At that point, Jack woke up and I saw that his bright blue eyes had turned to pure black. He faced me and gritted his teeth, looking like a dog who wanted to tear an enemy into pieces.
