"When I was very young, there was a little boy. We didn't know each other, but I still can't forget his appearance. He stood in the square with the white pigeons beside him. Holding one of them in his arms, he stood on tiptoe and raised his hands in the air. He let the white pigeon fly away. It was a warm and beautiful picture. From that moment on, I fell in love with that little boy, but I only met him once. " Mu Xiangnan felt that her description was very familiar, so he turned on his computer and took out a photo of himself as a child to show her. Liu Xia cheered in pleasant surprise, "Mu Xiangnan, how did you get this photo?" "This is the picture of the little boy when he released the white pigeon." This little boy is me. " Liu Xia looked at Mu Xiangnan in shock, and then, tears streamed his face. "Mu Xiangnan, it turns out that we've met a long time ago, and it turns out that I've already fallen in love with you."

How is it possible that the one guy Jenny falls for is totally off limits? March isn’t usually Jenny’s month. For one thing, it’s too dark and gray. For another, her sister, Gail, died two years ago in March after being hit by a drunk driver, a blow her family hasn’t yet recovered from. But March is also when she first sees Rob. He’s new in school, and although Jenny doesn’t know who he is yet, she can’t look away when they pass each other in the halls. She knows there’s something between them, and he seems to know it too, until a chance conversation reveals something terrible: Rob’s mother was the driver who killed Gail. Even as Jenny tries to pull away from Rob, she’s secretly glad about his stubborn insistence that they be friends despite their pasts. If Jenny and Rob become friends—or more—is she betraying her family? Can she and Rob find a way to transcend the tragedies in both their pasts and hold on to each other?

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • ECPA BESTSELLER • The husband and wife behind the popular Earls Family Vlogs share their inspiring love story of how an expedition to climb Mount Everest deepened their faith, strengthened their commitment, and sharpened their vision to make a difference in the world. As a senior at West Point, Harold Earls dreamed of summiting Mount Everest after graduation and bringing awareness to the issue of PTSD in soldiers and veterans. But as a novice mountain climber and newlywed, could he really leave his wife, Rachel, on the other side of the world to pursue such a dangerous quest? After all, Rachel’s dream was to be a wife and mother. She knew that her husband’s audacious goal might lead to her to give up everything. A Higher Calling takes us on a beautiful journey through the ups and downs of their relationship, from their unlikely introduction and whirlwind romance to their fairy-tale wedding and the dreams they shared. Dreams that required tremendous sacrifice and faith—in each other and in God. As their dreams are realized, witness how Harold and Rachel used their powerful bond of love to overcome obstacles and learn that life is about doing versus having, serving versus getting, being versus wanting. A Higher Calling shows each of us that when God’s purpose and our passion meet, we can transcend any sacrifice we make on the mountains of adversity. And as we approach life with an attitude of thanksgiving, we realize that being joyful and living in love is worth it. Every time.

Welcome to Avalon, the gate to other worlds. Here, King Arthur, Merlin, and the evil enchantress Morgana Le Fey were real. They’re ancient history now, but the seeds of our government are based upon what they left behind. The wizard’s council makes sure the nobles, guilds, and clans play nice. Supporting them are the realm knights, sorcerers, and sorceresses of the realm. When I was young, I desperately wanted magic to find me, and pigs would fly too. Instead, two heralds tasked me with choosing a guide for the next Merlin and in return they gave me the gift of reading. I pushed myself and found a clan, a community, friends, and even love—but as I was finding some balance in my life, one of the first Merlin’s spell books began waking up. Now we have to dodge assassins, evil doctors, and necromancers. Some from the old Avalon don’t like the changes happening around them and they seem to see me as the problem. If they could drop me in a lake with a rock tied to my feet, they would probably walk away while whistling a tune. Through all of this I’m trying to figure out who I’m growing into and how to make sure I don’t drown. Even with the support of my friends and James, I’m not sure I will survive. This series is a continuing story and needs to be read in the following order: Book 1 Healer's Awakening Book 2 Healer's Journey Book 3 Healer's Love

“A beautifully written and well-researched cultural criticism as well as an honest memoir” (Los Angeles Review of Books) from the author of the popular New York Times essay, “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This,” explores the romantic myths we create and explains how they limit our ability to achieve and sustain intimacy. What really makes love last? Does love ever work the way we say it does in movies and books and Facebook posts? Or does obsessing over those love stories hurt our real-life relationships? When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. In a series of candid, vulnerable, and wise essays that takes a closer look at what it means to love someone, be loved, and how we present our love to the world, “Catron melds science and emotion beautifully into a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation” (Bookpage). She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists’ research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. She uses literary theory to show why we prefer certain kinds of love stories. She urges us to question the unwritten scripts we follow in relationships and looks into where those scripts come from. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she’d read about—where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions—and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. “Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us” (Booklist), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. “Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with—or curious about—the challenges of contemporary courtship” (The Toronto Star).

Join Countess turned advice columnist Amelia Amesbury as she tries to juggle a new Season and a new murder in this charmingly deadly historical mystery. "A beautiful debutante, a wealthy widow, and a dead would-be baron. What could be more exciting?" Countess by day, secret advice columnist by night, Amelia Amesbury has life happily balanced on a quill's edge . . . until her sister Margaret shows up in London under a blanket of scandal and Amelia is catapulted out of mourning and into the ton's unforgiving Season. However Madge's Season debut is marred by a rather inconvenient death at the dining table as the infamous Mr Radcliffe takes ill and is later confirmed dead by poisoning. With Madge being the last person to have cross words with the soon-to-be baron, the ton's gossip mill - and the police - are looking to pin the murder on her. Adding to the ton's troubles is a jewellery thief targeting the most lavish of Society's houses. Is the murderer and the thief one in the same? It falls to Amelia once again to uncover the secrets buried deep within the pages before her sister goes down for the crimes. Perfect for fans of witty historical mystery and Regency romances with a similar feel to Verity Bright and T.E. Kinsey
