Book Description
Loves of Yulian is the poignant conclusion to the three-part memoir recounting the author’s harrowing WWII escape from occupied Poland to America. After fleeing over the Carpathian Mountains into Hungary, eight-year-old Yulian and his resourceful but self-involved mother, Barbara, are on board a ship to Rio de Janeiro to await their turn for immigration to the United States. A former Warsaw socialite, Barbara has no marketable skills, only her looks, wits and courage. Paying their way by selling the diamonds she had concealed in her clothing, they land in Brazil with only the diamond engagement ring on her finger. Somehow, it must finance both their stay and eventual passage to New York.Yulian, a sensitive Jewish boy raised by an overprotective, devoutly Catholic nanny, has difficulty interacting with other children and concludes that God is punishing him for abandoning Judaism. Complicating matters, he falls in love with a beautiful, but significantly older, fellow refugee, Irenka, who has been hired to take him to the beach. When his mother meets a man she truly cares for, Yulian hopes he has finally found his long-sought-after father figure. But Barbara’s European upper-class values clash with her suitor’s Latin ardor, leaving Yulian in the middle of a misaligned courtship, which he desperately wants to set right.Eventually, Yulian resolves his spiritual issues with the help of a celebrated Polish poet and his own teddy bear. His ambitious mother, however, must choose between a man she truly loves and her future in America.

Book Description
"Husband by blood, what do you think should be done if his novels don't have a hit rate?" The next day, everyone in the company stopped working. They were all reading novels on their cell phones. "My dear husband, what do you think we should do if no one is willing to act out the script that they wrote?" "My dear husband, I'm lonely and cold. Why don't you go and raise a little fresh meat for me to play with?" What? This was intolerable! A certain man pressed a certain girl down on the bed and said with an evil grin on his face, "My wife is obedient, what little fresh meat? All of it is fleeting. If I have a husband, I'll take a hundred little pieces of fresh meat myself, why don't I try it?" As far as Lu Qing was concerned, the most important thing in this lifetime, besides being a pet, was to be a pet .... Deep as the sea, only foam loved; foam deep, silent deep love.

"Mommy, where is our dad?" "Gu Ning." The two cute and pitiful looking people looked at Gu Ning. Eh ... Didn't Mom tell you? "You have no father, your father is dead." "Mommy, are you telling the truth?" "Of course, what Mommy said is true. When has Mommy ever lied to you?" "Then who is he?" The two cute kids pointed at the area behind Gu Ning. Gu Ning turned around and looked at the face that was very similar to his own two children. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. Hearing Gu Ning's words, Mu Yu Xuan's face was filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Heh, a woman like you actually dared to say I'm dead. I'll let you see whether I'm alive or dead." After saying that, he stepped forward and carried Gu Ning into the bedroom. " "Big brother, mom will be fine, right?" I don't think so. "
