Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. We all suffer the pain of loss when a loved one dies. We search for meaning in their lives and try to comprehend the unknowable. For each of us, understanding is a journey of inestimable length. Rafael Grossman was the successful rabbi of a prominent synagogue, the president of his state's rabbinical council, and the dean of a Hebrew Day School when his teenage daughter Shoshana became ill. Shoshana, vibrant and energetic, a delight to her parents and everyone around her, died at the age of seventeen. After her death, Rabbi Grossman was sure that he would never regain his faith in God or his joy in living. But as the years went by, he began to understand how Jews throughout history managed to sustain hope in the wake of personal and communal calamities. He penned this heartfelt letter to Shoshana as an expression of his love, and his never-ending sorrow, but also of his sense of renewal. And the recognition, that with our memories, no one is truly lost to us. Today, Rabbi Grossman counsels grief-stricken families and survivors of loss. He offers this letter as a "little book of comfort" to grieving readers everywhere. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Adam Carter has begun checking the locks on his doors again and again. Are they securely fastened? Is the alarm set properly? He's never quite satisfied that everything is in order. And so he feels compelled to check yet again. He feels for his wallet and then confirms that each and every piece of paper, credit card and cash is perfectly in order and safely in its place.He's had these obsessive thoughts before, but for Adam, a successful Washington lobbyist, they have in recent years been merely a sometimes annoyance, a quirkiness. Now, the "checking" behaviors threaten to debilitate him. So Adam pays a visit to his old psychiatrist, who frankly is not overjoyed to see him. Doctor Rogoff can diagnose Adam's symptoms and prescribe the latest in medication, but Adam cannot-will not-fully accept the need for treatment. Adam knows the true cause of his problems is not to be found in a diagnostic manual. It is the Horla, a creature straight out of a Guy de Maupassant tale. These two first met in Adam's youth, within a dusty old volume at the local library, Later, somehow, the Horla, managed to make Adam its victim. Now the Horla is stronger, more active than ever before and intent on destroying Adam's world. Adam must fight the creature, but how? .By chance, Adam has met a woman, Miranda. She's bright and attractive, and willing to put up with Adam's eccentricity-to a point. He's intrigued. More importantly, however, it is through her that Adam sees a way out of his problems and back to a reasonably normal existence. But the Horla is lurking. Maybe he's in the next room, perhaps he's downstairs. Adam can't tell. With the help of a new ally, a Doberman named Willie, Adam plans for a final confrontation to vanquish the Horla and regain his life.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This remarkable volume of stories from the author of Hostage to Fortune has been produced over a lifetime of writing. Tales Before Midnight explores a wide range of human emotion and events, from a city terrorized by a wild beast to the amusing spectacle of a gang of tree climbers just trying to stay out of trouble. There's the wealthy merchant and his teen-age bride, the Malagasy totocaf in Beethoven's Vienna and the mysterious stowaway who witnesses the guilty deeds of his fellow voyagers - or does he? A young and imaginative writer gets an early lesson in prejudice and censorship. A columnist tries to blackmail a crusading senator, a doctor once convicted of euthanasia is asked years later to commit the same act again, and a forgotten French town is liberated by a deserter and experiences close calls in a satirical retrospective of Cold War Europe. Tales Before Midnight rewrites the old adage that "truth is stranger than fiction". Certainly in these stories, fiction is often truer than truth.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In hindsight, perhaps Adam Grossman should not have retired--at least not so soon. After all, he was a respected heart surgeon and certainly not of diminished skills. Adam, however, had let his ego get the best of him and when he is passed over for a department chairmanship, decides to take his generous pension and move on. Now a year later, he's adrift, although not always unpleasantly. For his wife Eva it's a different story. He is disrupting her life to the point that she has jokingly suggested an affair to fill his days. Even their two dogs seem a little agitated with Adam's current schedule. Adam has come to the opinion that there's no point to anything anymore. But there is one thing that keeps him engaged-music. Most particularly, he has always been enthralled by the brilliant, yet underappreciated rhythm and blues stylings of Oscar Brown, Jr. They met over 35 years before and have been fast friends for most of that time. Adam has hit upon an idea. He will tell the tale of Oscar's life and career and thus revive the public's enthusiasm for the musician-songwriter. To Adam's surprise, Brown warms to the idea. There is one problem. Although Adam has the support of his friend and intimate knowledge of his music, he never really considered the effort required to actually put the story to paper. Then, there is a wonderful coincidence. Attending an Oscar Brown Jr. show at the last minute, Adam is approached by a young woman. She's an accomplished writer, and even has clippings from articles she's done about other music entertainers. Adam has a proposal. Would she be interested in collaborating on the book? Adam and Charlene strike an agreement. He will supply her with rare recordings and other background material. In time, the book will be completed . Deal in place; Adam and Charlene begin to meet daily. For Adam, this arrangement is wholly satisfying. But after a while, Oscar and Eva begin to wonder why no pages have been produced. Even Adam questions how this can continue. His embarrassment grows. Just who is this woman? Adam is now as determined to maintain his relationship with Charlene-despite the warning signs-as he once was to tell Oscar's story. He thinks he can do both, but who is he fooling? Adam struggles to maintain his equilibrium, but with every new alibi he creates, his illusions fade a little. It becomes clear to Adam that, sooner or later, he is headed for a fall .

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. We all lie. Whether it is a major deceit, a common whopper or a benign throw-away, these fabrications become part of the navigation of life. But when we lie to ourselves, what is the result? Are we in a state of denial or merely bending our memories to shape a new reality?Adam Merritt, a successful dermatologist awakens one morning feeling obliged to be, in all things, truthful. It doesn't matter if it concerns his friends, his wife or his professional relationships. He is going to forge ahead with complete honesty. He feels liberated, energized. The reaction of those around him, however, is less enthusiastic. Adam decides to turn on the old table radio in his bedroom. Left in his care years ago by Betty Tarrington, a fellow medical resident, he has always appreciated the set's vacuum-tube induced, mellow sound. He begins to recall in detail his earlier days in New York and the radio's original owner. Adam remembers the long hours at the hospital, their shared love of music and a fleeting companionship. Slowly, he begins to acknowledge that she meant more to him than he had realized. Could he have done more to deepen their relationship? Radio in hand, he travels back to New York City seeking answers. Once, Adam could easily define himself as physician, husband, and friend. When his journey of remembrance becomes contorted, he questions the substance that make up his life and the circumstances surrounding his memories. What was true only a moment before is now murky and ill-defined. Will he ever understand reality again? The truth-if it is the truth-threatens to shatter the underpinnings of the man that Adam Merritt thought he was.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. People often think that maturity is something that you gain over the years, that by simply living long enough, you'll end up a mature person. But it's an achievement, one that not only takes time, of course, but effort and courage as well.Paul Dunion compares this process of growing up to the cultivation of crops: "Some seed can simply be tossed about and regardless of light, water and nutrients, this seed will prevail and come of age," he says. "The rest of us resemble the seed in need of stewardship, where attention needs to be paid to weeding, watering and enriching the ground that holds us."Dare to Grow Up offers a unique study into the psychology and culture surrounding maturity, from personal shortcomings that stunt growth to wider societal attitudes that limit the discovery of our true selves. If you are willing to open your mind to the mysteries of life and enrich your life with all that the world has to offer, you can begin to discover who you were meant to become.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. In 1968, the U.S. Secretary of Labor and his wife purchased a farm in the Capon Valley in Appalachia's foothills, a hundred miles west of Washington, and began taking weekend refuge from political aggravation. Relieved a few months later ("by popular demand" the ex-Secretary puts it) of formal obligation, the Wirtzes found themselves dropping out more and more from capital affairs and becoming increasingly attached to the little community of Yellow Spring, West Virginia, unincorporated. Wirtz, who describes himself as a "congenital scribbler," flirted only briefly with the suggestion of writing about his eight years in the government. He became interested instead in the history of Yellow Spring and the Capon Valley. Most families in the area trace their lines back seven or eight generations, but the Capon Valley hasn't been noticed much and its history is almost entirely homespun and handed down. Capon Valley Sampler pulls together various pieces of this story. One sketch pursues the report that George Washington surveyed here. Another, on the French and Indian War, raises some questions about American apartheid. Wirtz unravels the intriguing story of the Capon Valley's mixed up place in Civil War history, traceable to a ballot box fraud that historians have tried to conceal. The role of religion in the valley focuses on the Hebron Lutheran Church, probably the oldest surviving congregation west of the Blue Ridge, and the tireless service of Methodist circuit rider Francis Asbury. The hero of the piece on Mountain Spirits is Tilbury Orndorff-who may or may not have been a reformed moonshiner. The sketches follow the history of the Davis family, who started living in 1838 in the house the two intruders from Washington bought 130 years later, A fuller picture is drawn of Caudy Davis-school teacher, justice of the peace, miller, state legislator, surveyor-who helped with the research for the Sampler up to the time he died in 1985 at age 99. Wirtz ends with some questioning of whether his adopted and beloved valley can hang on to its rich inheritance of natural beauty and human values. The author has spent quite a bit of his life with pen in hand. But everything before has been written in the course of duty as teacher, government official, arbitrator, and lawyer. The Sampler, he says, has been done for fun. The result is a unique appreciation of a remarkable place and its people. A unique appreciation of a remarkable place and of people living in this enthralling valley, where human purpose remains cradled in nature's special kindness.
