In Israel, the lives of three women interweave with the story of their country. Ratiba, an Israeli journalist, turns her back on her heritage to marry an Israeli Arab. Her sister Orit, an actor, lives alone and longs for her Lost sister. Elisheva is a nurse who dedicates her life to the wounded and the dying. As their lives unfold, the three women find themselves facing choices they would never have envisioned.

This is a story of secrets and alienation, yet also of hope and heroism. It is about Arabs who save Jews from disaster and Jews who heal Arabs. It is the story of everyday people torn and desperately searching for the right path.

Here, the ancient pulsates in present time and the biblical holds prominence with the secular. Beneath this modern-day drama unfolds the story of a land and its people, revealing the historical trajectory of two peoples, victims and perpetrators of a biblical curse.

Hi everyone!

I just want to say enough already. We have determined again and again that Vampire and Twilight lovers comprise maybe a little less than half of the members who are answering these questions. I say we just give it a rest now. We don't need any zaidi picks about whether wewe upendo au hate vampires, which is the best vampire series, au any other opportunities for fighting over an issue that's at a standstill.
Now I have read Twilight and am not a fan, though I will admit they are addicting while wewe read them. I have alisema how I feel about the books, the writing, the characters and all...

Sometimes it's great to be a bookseller.

B.E.A. (which I didn't go to, alas) has passed and our book buyers have come back with some great ARCs in their suitcases and begun to share the book love. The eagerly-awaited sekunde book to The Hunger Games is in my hands, as well as Jeannette Wall's new "true-life novel". I was also happily surprised kwa a new book in a new series kwa Cinda Williams Chima, mwandishi of the Heir trilogy (The Warrior Heir; The Wizard Heir; The Dragon Heir). All three are fantastic -- y'all should pick them up come Autumn 2009!

I know the title may make wewe smile and giggle. I did too when it was introduced to me as a gift when I was studying for my master’s degree in psychology in 2001. And what a gift! I am since happily involved in human resources for a law firm employing over 600 people, including 250 lawyers. Over 600 very different human beings with very different ways of thinking, but 600 very different human beings all living for the same purpose: make the best out of everything life gave to each and everyone of them – creativity and courage –...

Daniel Goleman, 1996, 288 pages

A penetrating analysis of the dark corners of human deception, enlivened kwa intriguing case histories and experiments – It was written for the professional, yet is understandable kwa the layman as well because it is so well and clearly written. This is a great book for coaches, counsellors, and therapists working with individuals that are grieving au dealing with past issues. I found the book to be helpful in explaining why so many of the people I coach seem to have denied au repressed very emotionally traumatic incidents. The human mind is amazing and complex....

Now, there are two types of memoirs in my mind: those about famous people, and those that aren't. Both have their pros and cons. zaidi people are likely to notice a famous memoir at the bookstore and buy it based on the celebrity's name -- but "common folk" memoirs don't have pre-conceptions, politics, and religious perspectives to overcome. au you're like me, who likes whatever she reads as long as its good. Whatever wewe like to read, here are a few memorable memoirs that I'd recommend wewe read.

With memoirs written kwa writers, wewe rightfully expect that the memoir is as good of a read as their...
