DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this disarming debut, Brian Strause has written a vastly entertaining novel about an American family transfixed by a series of mysterious events. From a comfortable suburb of Columbus, Ohio, emerges a story of rebellion, faith and hope, bridging the cultural gap between those who believe in miracles and those who wish they could.Monroe Anderson–as quiet on the outside as he is sardonic and alive on the inside–has spent most of his eighteen years trying to fly beneath the radar. If he can remain invisible, he believes, his sadistic older brother, a rising golf star, might not torment him, his workaholic father, a renowned litigator, might not notice him long enough to be disappointed, and his mother might not have to struggle so hard to find a hopeful word. The only people who glimpse the real Monroe are his girlfriend, Emily, and his eleven-year-old sister, Annika. On the night of his senior prom, Monroe finds Annika floating facedown in the family pool. He dives in and rescues her, but not quickly enough to prevent her from slipping into a coma. As the family copes with this crisis, Monroe’s mother turns to religion, his father turns to liquor, and Monroe himself must decide what’s worth believing in, what’s worth fighting for, and, finally, who he wants to be.By turns humorous and heartbreaking, personal and sweeping, familiar and extraordinary, Brian Strause’s mesmerizing novel takes readers on an unforgettable emotional journey into America’s heartland.

This book uses the case of Uzbekistan, the most populous country of Central Asia, and demonstrates the migration channels and adaptation strategies of migrants to the realities of Japan.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKProfoundly moving, wise, and ultimately redemptive, an inspiring personal memoir of hope and forgiveness, and an unforgettable testament to the healing power of Angels. Growing up in the suburbs of Dublin, Aidan Storey was the youngest of seven, a much-loved, happy child who enjoyed family life. But there was one difference between Aidan and his friends: When everyone left, Angels visited Aidan. Unafraid of the beautiful, luminous spirits that watched over him, it wasn’t until much later that Aidan realized not everyone could see what he could—and not everyone shared his exceptional gift for healing. In this remarkable memoir, Aidan vividly recalls how the presence of Angels sustained him through years of great turmoil when his happy, carefree world turned into one of misery and torment. As he recalls the sexual and mental abuse he suffered at the hands of two teachers in his Christian Brothers primary school and the isolation which followed, Aidan tells how the Angels helped him find his way back to life and, through the power of divine healing, taught him how to bring light and love into his life and the lives of many others.
