One universe, nine planets, 204 countries, 809 islands and 7 seas, and I had the privilege of meeting you." -Unknown When Tessa Talman meets Simon Fremont for the first time, not only is she attracted to him, she's intrigued by how different their lives are. He's a dedicated scientist, practical, pragmatic, and grounded--while she's a head-in-the-clouds romance author. As their relationship grows, they agree to meet in places around the world, while continuing to live on opposite sides of the globe. Though their feelings for each other deepen, their priorities remain the same. Simon is in a hurry to be financially sound and settle down, but Tessa is enjoying her freedom and newfound success. Neither is willing to give in, but as each goodbye gets harder, Tessa begins to wonder whether fame is the path to happiness, or if she has everything she needs in Simon. Just as Tessa finds the courage to go after her own happily ever after, the unthinkable happens, separating them in ways they never imagined. To move forward, she must let go of the past, and determine once and for all if love is truly more powerful than the pain of goodbye.

Three Lives Three short stories comprise Gertrude Stein’s first significant work, each a psychological portrait of a different woman. “The Good Anna” is a kindly but domineering German servant. “The Gentle Lena” apathetically endures her miserable life until she dies in childbirth. “Melanctha” is a young Black woman learning about sexuality and love. Different as they may be, all three women are bound by poverty—and all three face the restrictions of class, race, and sex with resignation. Tender Buttons Stein spoke of maintaining a “continuous present,” comprised of “moments of consciousness,” independent of time and memory. Nowhere is this more clear than in her prose poems Tender Buttons. Their repetitive sentences, juxtaposition of sounds, and simple language connote this continuous presence. To live in this state is “to begin again and again,” to “use everything.” Each of the three sections, “Objects,” “Food,” and “Rooms,” employs both this repetition and disjointed words to build images. Prose poetry at its most abstract expression, Tender Buttons “is to writing…what cubism is to art.” (W.G. Rogers)

Anna Galloway has arrived on the sparsely populated North Beach Peninsula in Washington State to continue her career in nursing, but there is no hospital and the only doctor, Dr. Wesley Snow, is brusque and judgemental. Anna doubts she can stay, though she knows that this is the place where her skills are very much in need. But Anna doesn't just want to be needed, she wants to be loved. Peter Fielding, a young widower, needs her to mother his two children, but can he offer her love? It is Peter who introduces her to the wild, untamed land, but it is the brooding Dr. Snow who, though scorning Anna's prayers for her patients, seems to have captured her heart. Should Anna give up her dreams of marriage and family and be content with her nursing career? She is hoping that God will not only lead her in the right direction but will teach her to trust that small voice that says, "Be still and know that I am God... " Psalm 46:10

The first thing Anna noticed was the great aroma of coffee coming from the kitchen. Sam must be early she thought. She jumped from bed and yelled down the stairs, " Sorry Sam, I will be right there just let me grab a shower." That being said she was quite surprised to find a tall handsome stranger in her kitchen staring out the window. He was at least 6' 3" with black hair pulled into a tail at the nape of his neck that hung to the middle of his back. He looked like a man used to hard work a

Russia, 1905. Behind the gates of the Karenin Palace, Sergei, son of Anna Karenina, meets Tolstoy in his dreams and finds reminders of his mother everywhere: the almost-living portrait that the Tsar intends to acquire and the opium-infused manuscripts she wrote just before her death, one of which opens a trapdoor to a wild feminist fairytale. Across the city, Clementine, an anarchist seamstress, and Father Gapón, the charismatic leader of the proletariat, tip the country ever closer to revolution. Boullosa lifts the voices of coachmen, sailors, maids, and seamstresses in this playful, polyphonic, and subversive revision of the Russian revolution, told through the lens of Tolstoy’s most beloved work.
