Book Description
This early 20th century memoir of a woman’s faith in the face of debilitating disease is a “remarkably un-self-pitying book remains poignant and truthful” (Publishers Weekly). “You must not miss it . . . It is the kind of book that cannot come into being without great living and great suffering and a rare spirit behind it.” —The New York Times In 1895, a specialist straps five-year-old Katharine Hathaway, then suffering from spinal tuberculosis, to a board with halters and pulleys in a failed attempt to prevent her from becoming a “hunchback” like the “little locksmith” who does odd jobs at her family’s home. Forced to endure her confinement for ten years, Katharine remains immobile until age fifteen, only to find that none of it has prevented her from developing a deformity of her own. The Little Locksmith charts Katharine’s struggle to transcend physical limitations and embrace her life, her body, and herself. Her spirit and courage prevail as she expands her world far beyond the boundaries prescribed by her family and society: she attends Radcliffe College, forms deep friendships, begins to write, and in 1921, purchases a house of her own that she fashions into a space for guests, lovers, and artists. Revealing and inspirational, The Little Locksmith stands as a testimony to Katharine’s aspirations and desires—for independence, love, and the pursuit of her art. “A powerful revelation of spiritual truth” —The Boston Globe “Katharine Butler Hathaway . . . was the kind of heroine whose deeds are rarely chronicled . . . [She took] a life which fate had cast in the mold of a frightful tragedy and redesign[ed] it into a quiet, modest work of art.” —The New Yorker

Book Description
Pallavi Ratnam's life could be better. Yes, she has a "little god" who helps her when she's hungry, but this gift hasn't stopped her father from becoming ill or her mother from kicking her out of the family home. If only her boyfriend offered any real support. But all he wants is to use her little god to help him rob people. When she hears her father's former business partner and nemesis is returning to town with a caravan full of spices, she wonders just what it would take to steal his spices and pay for her father's medical care. At last, this is an idea Pallavi's boyfriend can get excited about, and before they know it, they are working with three of the city's most notorious personalities to plan the heist of a lifetime. Their greatest obstacle, though, isn't the man they want to rob or the authorities. It's a government bureaucrat who knows the truth about Pallavi's budding powers, and wants to take her away before she becomes a danger to herself, or others.

Book Description
The setting for the story is in the Middle East more than one thousand years ago... when magic was still in the air. The story opens with Prince Malu fleeing for his life on his twentieth birthday. What was supposed to be a joyous occasion with visitors from several nations attending was turned into a terrorist attack by the Caliph of Oman and his men. They disguised themselves as guests and entered the palace. Then just when Malu's father, Ahmed Ben Crishna, King of Armapour was about to present Malu to the representatives of the various countries the attack began. The King is killed immediately. Queen Melina, Malu's mother, helps him to escape. She is killed with an arrow intended for Malu. Malu flees on a horse that was a birthday present from his mother. Malu pushes his mount as far and as fast as he is able, but cannot seem to shake the two relentless pursuers. The chase continues until Malu enters mysterious mountains that are rumored to harbor demons, evil spirits, lions, cobra, and other dangers. The men pursuing him are afraid of the mountains and give up the chase. Malu wanders into the mountains. He has no food or water and the only weapon he has is a saber, a birthday present from his father. Malu is so weary that he dismounts and falls asleep on the hard ground and dreams of all that had happened. He awakens and is attacked by bandits. Just when one of the bandits is about to deliver a killing blow to the unconscious Malu he is shot dead with an arrow seemingly to come from out of thin air. Kumar King of the forbidden city of Shayandra and his men had been watching Malu's progress since he entered the mountains. Kumar killed the bandit. When Malu finally regains consciousness he is surprised to find Kumar and his men have the bandits at their mercy. He is greeted by Kumar and asked to identify himself. Malu tells Kumar that he is the Prince of the kingdom of Armapour. Kumar takes Malu into the forbidden city of Shayandra. Malu meets Helita, Kumar's granddaughter, who later becomes the love of his life. Kumar decides to tell Malu the story of Shayandra. Malu learns that the city and its people have been under a curse for more than a thousand years. The curse fell upon them because a prior king of Shayandra had desecrated the tomb of an Egyptian Lion God. Not long after the tomb was desecrated the Lion God was reincarnated and now this half man, half lion monster, now lives in these mountains with his evil spirits and demons. The curse demands that every hundred years on the anniversary of the desecration a human sacrifice must be made to Lion God or all the people of Shayandra would die. This person must be a first-born of the royal family Shayandra. It was now the time again for the sacrifice and Helita would be the next victim. Kumar then tells Malu that the legend of the curse told of a prince, a savior, who would come some day and break the curse. Kumar tells Malu that he believes that Malu is that prince. Of course Malu does not believe it. Malu has already fallen in love with Helita and cannot stand the thought of her dying; so he agrees to help. He tells Kumar that what he feels he must do is free Armapour from the Caliph. Kumar convinces Malu to help the people of Shayandra by promising to raise an army and march on Armapour, once the curse broken. Kumar's words were, "we will turn the sands of Armapour red with the blood of your enemies." (This is where the title of the book originates.) If you like magic, flying carpets, secret passages, enchanted weapons, love, intrigue, and war; this story is for you.
