And then there are a few things you cannot see. -f r o m If You Are Afraid of Heights But the crow sees everything: In Part One, a man and a woman meet in a midnight road accident and fall in love. In Part Two, a reporter arrives in a small town to uncover the story of a child`s rape and murder. In Part Three, a young girl, shaken by suicides in her neighborhood, begins to fear for her parents` lives. And the lives of all of these characters overlap and intersect in a magical realm that lies somewhere between fantasy and reality. Ultimately, multiple coincidences and recurring motifs pull the parts together and reveal the ways in which all three tales are both their own stories and the many sides of one story. [detailed...]

Description: Now in paperback: In this charming novel, internationally bestselling author Cecelia Ahern shows that sometimes not seeing is believing! Readers and critics alike adore Cecelia Ahern for her lighthearted yet insightful stories about modern women and their often unusual situations. In If You Could See Me Now , she takes that theme a step further, offering us a heroine who is entirely believable, and the new man in her life who is, well, slightly less so. Elizabeth Egan`s life runs on order: Both her home and her emotions are arranged just so, with little room for spontaneity. It`s how she counteracts the chaos of her family -- an alcoholic mother who left when she was young, an emotionally distant father, and a free-spirited sister, who seems to be following in their mother`s footsteps, leaving her own six-yearold son, Luke, in Elizabeth`s care. When Ivan, Luke`s mysterious new grown-up friend, enters the picture, Elizabeth doesn`t know quite what to make of him…. [detailed...]

If You Find the Buddha

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Whether in the heart of Asia or a farm in the American heartland, the Buddha image never seems out of place. As a reminder to stop and live in the moment, it is as appropriate as a charm around the neck of a young Thai soldier as on a car dashboard. Photographs of the Buddha in various incarnations -- traditional statuary, toys, garden ornaments, jewelry, tattoos -- demonstrate that the Buddha is seemingly everywhere, if one cultivates the proper awareness. By turns beautiful, quirky, ironic, and meditative, Kalisher`s images in If You Find the Buddha speak not only to the omnipresence of the spiritual icon, but also to our capacity to be surprised and delighted by the unexpected. With an insightful essay by noted author and traveler Jeff Greenwald, the striking photographs in this book delight and enlighten in equal measure. [detailed...]
