The Childhood of William Olaf Rupert
No matter what you think, you have never read a book quite like this.A heartwarming and humorous story about the life of a remarkably gifted young man with a good heart named William Olaf Rupert. Undeniably immature yet complex and centered, Willy describes for us the trauma and beauty of his own birth, his doctor and nurses from the hospital, and his family and friends from nursery, day care, and school.With juvenile wit and a perspective on childhood only a grown-up could bring, Willy's story--as told to Steve Snelling--unfolds across the years with warmth and plenty of mischief.
All the Signs
From the author of "heartfelt and beautifully told, The Heirloom" (Annabel Monaghan) comes another dreamy, escapist adventure about a die-hard skeptic who sets off on a mission to prove her horoscope wrong. Leah Lockhart is proudly science-minded and woo-woo averse. But the life she's carefully curated is knocked suddenly off course, first by a destabilizing case of vertigo, and then by an astrology reading that claims she's living way out of line with what was written in her stars. Incensed, Leah sets off on a mission to prove that astrology is bogus by comparing her life to that of her Star Twins around the world--people born under her exact same map of the stars. But her even deeper guides on a whirlwind journey through Venice, Istanbul, New Orleans and beyond turn out to be three people already in her orbit: the mother she thinks abandoned her, the father she thinks saved her, and the former boy next door whose love could be the path to her truest self.
