Book Description
Love is a crazy thing. It can heal you. It can hurt you. It can keep you alive. It can kill you. You'd be willing to walk thousands of miles for that one person, but not for yourself. You put their happiness over your happiness. They are on your mind all day. You think about them. At any minute. Everywhere. Your heart races when you see them. When you hear them. When you think of them. And when you get hurt by that one person you liked more than yourself. Your world breaks into a million pieces. Your mood was dependent on theirs. You thought that person would never leave. Yet, they did. And now you are clueless. You've lost the compass of life. You don't know what to do. You overthink. You blame yourself. Even though you know the reality. You know after they hurt you, you still like them. You wait for their messages, when they can go all day without thinking about you. Let me tell you about this one girl. The girl that changed me forever.

Pages : 82
Book Description
How does it feel to wake up in a scene of a World War II movie? How did people, who were attacked by their neighbour country react and what did they do in face of death and danger? Why is Ukraine a country of leaders? Answers to these questions could be found in stories of Ukrainian volunteers, who prove that people are stronger than circumstances. The author describes her escape from homeland, her way to volunteering, and shares the stories of fellow Ukrainians, who chose not to give up or stay indifferent, despite their age, status or profession. These are the stories of personal responsibility and true leadership, combined with devotion and cooperation, few from many. "I have your back", says every act of a volunteer, but what if it could become a new way of living for our global community, humanity as a whole. Would it be a really nice place to raise our children and grandchildren, indeed?

These Precious Days
Author: Ann Patchett
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0063092808
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The beloved New York Times bestselling author reflects on home, family, friendships and writing in this deeply personal collection of essays. "The elegance of Patchett’s prose is seductive and inviting: with Patchett as a guide, readers will really get to grips with the power of struggles, failures, and triumphs alike." —Publisher's Weekly “Any story that starts will also end.” As a writer, Ann Patchett knows what the outcome of her fiction will be. Life, however, often takes turns we do not see coming. Patchett ponders this truth in these wise essays that afford a fresh and intimate look into her mind and heart. At the center of These Precious Days is the title essay, a surprising and moving meditation on an unexpected friendship that explores “what it means to be seen, to find someone with whom you can be your best and most complete self.” When Patchett chose an early galley of actor and producer Tom Hanks’ short story collection to read one night before bed, she had no idea that this single choice would be life changing. It would introduce her to a remarkable woman—Tom’s brilliant assistant Sooki—with whom she would form a profound bond that held monumental consequences for them both. A literary alchemist, Patchett plumbs the depths of her experiences to create gold: engaging and moving pieces that are both self-portrait and landscape, each vibrant with emotion and rich in insight. Turning her writer’s eye on her own experiences, she transforms the private into the universal, providing us all a way to look at our own worlds anew, and reminds how fleeting and enigmatic life can be. From the enchantments of Kate DiCamillo’s children’s books (author of The Beatryce Prophecy) to youthful memories of Paris; the cherished life gifts given by her three fathers to the unexpected influence of Charles Schultz’s Snoopy; the expansive vision of Eudora Welty to the importance of knitting, Patchett connects life and art as she illuminates what matters most. Infused with the author’s grace, wit, and warmth, the pieces in These Precious Days resonate deep in the soul, leaving an indelible mark—and demonstrate why Ann Patchett is one of the most celebrated writers of our time.

Pages : 320
Book Description
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M
