The yearnings of a little sister, the hazy memories of a concentration camp liberator, and the romantic entanglements of political activists are portrayed in The Sweetheart Is In, S.L. Wisenberg's first collection of short stories. Each of these edgy, lyrical stories creates its own universe in the space of a few pages even while overlapping characters and themes. The award-winning title story captures the longings, personal and political, of a sensitive girl on the cusp of adolescence as she tries to find her place in the world-and within her self-contained Jewish community in Houston-during the Vietnam era. Wisenberg also reveals a mischievous side when she retells well-known fairy tales in a darkly whimsical fashion. Wisenberg's work is part of today's renaissance in Jewish storytelling. Many of her characters are forced to navigate between doubt and faith but fortunately equipped with humor and wisdom.

There, he was going to take ownership of a plot of land he had been awarded by the United States government, which was given as compensation for Sham's extraordinary service in the Army as a sniper.

This book is a stand-alone guide to, and practices for, Awakening and is composed of poems based on articles in 'Fundamental Questions', which are themselves based on new discoveries, replies to questions and internet discussions on Awakening. The thrust of the book is that the initial awakening which reveals that, in essence, we are Pure Awareness is very simple to obtain. Then this needs to be established by repeated awakenings due to the natural tendency to 'nod off' and re-identify oneself as a separate object in a universe of separate objects. When one is awake then anxiety and unnecessary mental suffering disappear, for these are caused by this misidentification which causes us to see each other, and the world, through a murky filter of self-interest, self-concern, self-promotion, self-aggrandizement, self-loathing, the list is almost endless. It is this world-view that causes the anxiety and mental suffering based on concern for the future and feeling we are bound by the past

From the bestselling author of the Angel Falls series, two enemies say “I do” in the first irresistible book about Blossom Glen. Pastry chef Tessa Montgomery knows what everyone in the teeny town of Blossom Glen says about her. Spinster. Ice Queen. Such a shame. It’s enough to make a woman bake her troubles away, dreaming of Parisian delicacies while she makes bread at her mother’s struggling boulangerie. That is until Tessa’s mortal enemy—deliciously handsome (if arrogant) chef Leo Castorini, who owns the restaurant next door—proposes a business plan...to get married. Leo knows that the Castorinis and the Montgomerys hate each other, but a marriage might just force these stubborn families to work together and blend their businesses for success. The deal is simple: Tessa and Leo marry, live together for six months, and then go their separate ways. Easy peasy. It’s a sweetheart deal where everyone gets what they want—until feelings between the faux newlyweds start seriously complicating the mix. Have they discovered the perfect recipe for success...or is disaster on the way? Each book in the Blossom Glen series is STANDALONE: * The Sweetheart Deal * The Sweetheart Fix
