How much does Time and Circumstance have to do with the design of our lives? Could people who are celebrities now perhaps have led undistinguished lives under other circumstances, in another time? And vice-versa...' Street of Broken Dreams attempts to examine that question. Another question examined is this... Could one of the great villains of History...if approached at the right time and place...could he have reformed himself before it was too late? But more, this novel follows four fascinating personalities as they try to meet the challenges described above inside the Nazi Germany of 1939. Unexpectedly, Albert Einstein comes to play a key role in everything... But it is all acted out on the stage of the world...the drama of life and death and destiny. Whose result affects us all. Then and in the foreseeable future...

Perhaps a greater tragedy than a broken dream is a life forever defined by it." - Sheridan Voysey Your dream might be over, but your life isn't. Embrace your broken dream as a chance for a new beginning and see how a "Resurrection Year" can restore your soul. Voysey chronicles their return to life. From the streets of Rome to the Basilicas of Paris, from the Alps of Switzerland to their new home in Oxford, they begin the healing process while wrestling with their doubts about God's goodness. One part spiritual memoir and one part love story, Resurrection Year is an honest, heart-felt book about recovering from broken dreams and reconciling with a God who is sometimes silent but never absent. A hope-filled story about starting again after a dream has died'an emotive, poetic, and at times humorous discovery of the healing qualities of beauty, play, friendship, and love. "Some dreams come true, but others die a painful death. We can learn from both. In Resurrection Year, Sheridan Voysey writes from experience-there is life after the death of a dream. Your dream may be different, but the road to resurrection will be similar. I highly recommend it." - Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages

In this "thriller with literary merit" (Time Out New York), a stunning narrative combines the gritty rhythms of Junot Diaz with the noir genius of Walter Mosley. Bodega Dreams pulls us into Spanish Harlem, where the word is out: Willie Bodega is king. Need college tuition for your daughter? Start-up funds for your fruit stand? Bodega can help. He gives everyone a leg up, in exchange only for loyalty—and a steady income from the drugs he pushes. Lyrical, inspired, and darkly funny, this powerful debut novel brilliantly evokes the trial of Chino, a smart, promising young man to whom Bodega turns for a favor. Chino is drawn to Bodega's street-smart idealism, but soon finds himself over his head, navigating an underworld of switchblade tempers, turncoat morality, and murder. "Bodega is a fascinating character. . . . The story [Quiñonez] tells has energy and verve." —The New York Times Book Review

The midlife crisis has become a cliché in modern society. Since the mid-twentieth century, the term has been used to explain infidelity in middle-aged men, disillusionment with personal achievements, the pain and sadness associated with separation and divorce, and the fear of approaching death. This book provides a meticulously researched account of the social and cultural conditions in which middle-aged men and women began to reevaluate their hopes and dreams, reassess their relationships, and seek new forms of identity and fresh pathways to self-satisfaction. Drawing on a rich seam of literary, medical, media, and cinematic sources, as well as personal accounts, Broken Dreams explores how the crises of middle-aged men and women were shaped by increased life expectancy, changing family structures, shifting patterns of work, and the rise of individualism.

In City of Broken Dreams, author Leslie J Bank addresses this question through a detailed case study of East London, a city in South Africa's Eastern Cape. Rooting the university in a history of industrialisation, placemaking and city-building, this book examines contemporary debates about the role that urban universities should have in building economies, creating jobs and reshaping the politics and identities of their communities. Firmly grounded in the particulars of East London, this thoughtful study illuminates questions common to rust-belt cities and universities around the world.

Born on the wrong side of Sunset Mountain, Laurel Harper seems destined for a path of ambivalence. Her practical, hardworking father and controlling, manipulative mother are already in a turbulent marriage, and when Laurel is six-years-old, the marriage falls apart completely when a tragic accident injures her youngest brother, Del. Laurel's mother blames her father for the accident and as a result, her parents never again express a trace of love for each other, trapping Laurel and her brothers in the darkness of broken dreams and dysfunctionality that never ends, even after her father's sudden death. Pursuing her own dreams, Laurel falls for David Hudson, a future medical student whose abrupt engagement announcement to another woman devastates her. Brokenhearted, she retreats to the mountain and, relying on her mother's vision and her father's pragmatism, struggles for independence and happiness while trying to prevent her family's self-destruction. When she returns to Sunset Valley five years later, she is not alone. Curly-haired Gena Renee Harper is with her, and David immediately suspects the little girl is his. As Laurel and David meet again, they discover that the love two students once found during a tumultuous time may just be real after all.
