Kristin Harmel knows how ...
Ha rispecchiato ciò che ho sempre pensato. Che la conoscenza elimina i pregiudizi; che l'amore esiste per tutti, perché Dio sin dalla nostra nascita ci destina una persona che ameremo e che ci amerà, basta solo amare e lasciarsi amare, senza ripensamenti sul passato, sui cuori infranti da altre p...

One of my favourite types of books to read are those where the characters are in a different country, where I can learn about a new culture, language, etc. I knew I'd love Italian For Beginners because I love Europe. I haven't had the pleasure of visiting Italy, however Harmel's descriptions of...

Anne’s is the next evening after work. I call him from the train on the way out to see Joan, whom I’ve been visiting once a month since Patrick died.“But, babe, your schedule is already packed,” he says, sounding perplexed after I fill him in on Andrew’s request and the paperwork I filled out and...
Seventy years ago, it had housed one of Florida’s two main POW encampments, and it would have been the administrative center for Camp Belle Creek. My grandfather would have made a stop there—possibly for a few months—before being sent farther south to work in the sugarcane fields. I’d made a mida...
Sam was absent from school pretty often, and when he was there, I avoided him. Soon he stopped trying so hard to talk to me or to get me to forgive him. I think he knew it wasn’t going to happen.In English class, where he and I usually partnered up, he began working on projects with Matt Alexande...
The rest of us hang back; Logan says he thinks it’s a dumb band, and Frankie mumbles that this is Katelyn’s big day, and we should all just let her enjoy it. “I wonder if she realizes she won’t have those photos anymore when she wakes up in the morning,” Logan says. ...
