Book Description
She points the lens of the camera. The artist turns his head slightly. The light catches his brow and his silver-white hair. She snaps. He is lit like a Vermeer. Ireland. County Wexford, 1951. A father and son go swimming in the sea. The waves crash. The wind rises. Only one comes back—Colin, aged six. His mother, Eileen, runs to seek help, but this is a tragedy that will haunt them forever. Colin won’t speak a word. He is mute and struggling to cope. But Eileen can see he has a talent for painting. She shows him his father’s artwork and gives him a print of a Paul Henry landscape, and slowly, with her encouragement, he begins to follow his dream. Years later on Inishbofin island off the west coast of Ireland, out walking with his dog on the sand, Colin meets Laura, a young woman on holiday, and a tentative friendship starts to develop. Gradually his past comes to life in a story filled with love and frustration, loss and betrayal, but above all with the passion he has held through his life for the light in the sea and the sky and his search for that distant shore where the sky sweeps down to the water. One man. The sea. One painting.

Book Description
Utopia has been achieved. For centuries, disease, hunger, poverty and war have been things found only in the histories. And applied genetics has given men and women the bodies of athletes and a lifespan of over a century. They should all have been very happy.... But Hamilton Felix is bored. And he is the culmination of a star line; each of his last thirty ancestors chosen for superior genes. Hamilton is, as far as genetics can produce one, the ultimate man. And this ultimate man can see no reason why the human race should survive, and has no intention of continuing the pointless comedy. However, Hamilton's life is about to become less boring. A secret cabal of revolutionaries who find utopia not just boring, but desperately in need of leaders who know just What Needs to be Done, are planning to revolt and put themselves in charge. Knowing of Hamilton's disenchantment with the modern world, they have recruited him to join their Glorious Revolution. Big mistake!

Book Description
She was broken. He was lonely. Both were trying to emerge from the ruins of their past. Dr Avni, a first-year postgraduate student in medicine, was gathering the broken pieces of her heart, trying to find a new meaning for her life. Dr Aakash, a senior, was trying to lose himself in the chaos of the world, perhaps in his quest to find himself. Somewhere along the journey, they found each other. Their unconditional love washed away all their pain and seemed to open the path to eternal happiness. It appeared that they had finally found their destination until fate decided to throw a challenge where they had no choice but to let go. Despite that, she couldn't let go of her insecurities and fears, and he couldn't let go of her. Love Beyond the Horizon is a journey of love, longing, and loss; a story of unconditional love that transcends time; and of unfathomable destiny that has its own plans.

Book Description
During the ruthless times of the infernal regime of Francois Duvalier (Papa Doc) and Jean-Claude Duvalier (Baby Doc) in Haiti lived a man whose hope could be found nowhere but beyond the distant skylines. His confidence birthed a dream that forced him to keep his children on a low profile. They could barely write their names to avoid being detected by the Tonton Makouts who liked no one that progressed. His oldest son escaped situations that attacked his faithfulness toward his family honor and his fiancée to whom he made a promise before he left the country. The author is a first-generation immigrant American from Haiti who went through the system from the bottom up. He maneuvered to master the language, earned a bachelor's degree in French, a master's in counselor education, and a specialist degree in educational leadership. He is presently completing his Ph.D. in Religion with an emphasis in Christian Counseling. He either lived some of the experiences or he knows someone who did. He is a compassionate person with a counselor's mind, a poet's spirit and a writer's heart. He lives to change humanity one person at a time. This book is a masterpiece. I found it very easy to lose myself in the story. The author kept my interest from beginning to end. Once I started reading, I just couldn't stop, not even to go to sleep. For history and cultural buffs the descriptions are vivid and informative about Haiti during the Duvalier's time. Yet the book is written for a mixed audience of teenagers to adults. This is the story of Haitian Americans, families, immigrants, and people of all cultures. This is the story of politics and government. This is the story of hope and a better future. If you only read one book this year, I would highly recommend that this be the book. The poetry alone is fantastic. This is the story of hope in dreams beyond... --Cathy Pressey, Ed.D., Social Studies Teacher

Book Description
When Gail McWilliams lost her sight, she began to see clearly for the first time in her life. "You will see blindness in your lifetime," the eye specialist told Gail when she was twenty-one years old. She would have no warning. The storm in her eyes was coming, but no one knew when. And her wedding day was only three weeks away. Would her hope of marriage and children be destroyed? Would she lose her independence and career? The prospects were terrifying. On Christmas Eve Gail's vision was 20/20. On Christmas morning she was completely blind. Her world had gone from beautiful light to pitch black while she slept. Seeing Beyond is the astonishing true story of Gail's journey into shadowy darkness. It's a touching story of total blindness and perfect vision, a powerful story of engulfing fear and freeing faith, and an inspirational story of crushing personal loss and great spiritual gain. Some people see life a lot more clearly than others, and my friend Gail McWilliams is one of those 'seers' I love listening to. Gail (has) extraordinary insight into the way things are, and the way things should be. -Joni Eareckson Tada, Best-Selling Author/Radio Host You will weep with Gail as her life is turned upside down and she sinks into despair and depression. And you will celebrate with her as she learns truly to depend on God, who guides her to amazing success as an author, singer, and international speaker. As Gail says, "When you choose to look past the horizon, the sky is the limit!" Join Gail on this eye-opening venture of seeing beyond your worst nightmare to the divine dream God has waiting for you. It's the adventure of a lifetime--an adventure you don't want to miss!

Book Description
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: THE NEW YORK TIMES • NPR • THE GUARDIAN From pole to pole and across decades of lived experience, National Book Award-winning author Barry Lopez delivers his most far-ranging, yet personal, work to date. Horizon moves indelibly, immersively, through the author’s travels to six regions of the world: from Western Oregon to the High Arctic; from the Galápagos to the Kenyan desert; from Botany Bay in Australia to finally, unforgettably, the ice shelves of Antarctica. Along the way, Lopez probes the long history of humanity’s thirst for exploration, including the prehistoric peoples who trekked across Skraeling Island in northern Canada, the colonialists who plundered Central Africa, an enlightenment-era Englishman who sailed the Pacific, a Native American emissary who found his way into isolationist Japan, and today’s ecotourists in the tropics. And always, throughout his journeys to some of the hottest, coldest, and most desolate places on the globe, Lopez searches for meaning and purpose in a broken world.
