      "At twenty-nine, auctioneer Toby Miller is a notorious bachelor. But his job keeps him on the road for months out of the year, and he knows no Plain woman could want a marriage that would force her to live and raise children alone. Thankfully, Toby's content to dedicate his life to the family business, especially now that his grandfather is retiring. So why does his heart keep longing for something-or more specifically, someone-he can't have? Rachelle Lapp has already turned down two marriage proposals. Neither promised a future that would bring her more joy than her job as a teacher to Amish children with developmental disabilities, including her brother, Jonah, and Toby's sister, Sadie. But when the parents' committee votes to send her students to the English schools, where they will have access to many more resources, Rachelle finds herself out of a job. She's forced to decide between pursuing her calling far from home and staying near to the man she can't get off her mind. As their families matchmake, Toby and Rachelle realize their jobs may not be all that's holding them back from a future together. They both must learn not only to trust each other, but also trust God's plans for them. But do those plans involve a lifetime together or them going their separate ways?"-- Provided by publisher

One day, Marianne Engel, a wild and compelling sculptress of gargoyles, enters his life and tells him that they were once lovers in medieval Germany. In her telling, he was a badly burned mercenary and she was a nun and a scribe who nursed him back to health in the famed monastery of Engelthal. As she spins her tale, Scheherazade fashion, and relates equally mesmerising stories of deathless love in Japan, Greenland, Italy and England, he finds himself drawn back to life and, finally, to love.

      Dawn Edelstein is on a plane when she is told to prepare for a crash landing. She braces herself as thoughts flash through her mind. The shocking thing is, the thoughts are not of her husband but of a man she last saw fifteen years ago: Wyatt Armstrong. Dawn, miraculously, survives the crash, but so do all the doubts that have suddenly been raised. She has led a good life. Back in Boston, there is her husband, Brian, their beloved daughter, and her work as a death doula. But somewhere in Egypt is Wyatt Armstrong, who works as an archaeologist unearthing ancient burial sites, a career Dawn once studied for but was forced to abandon. The airline ensures that the survivors are seen by a doctor, then offers offers transportation to wherever they want to go. The obvious destination is to fly home, but she could take another path: return to the archaeological site she left years before, reconnect with Wyatt and their unresolved history. As the story unfolds, Dawn's two possible futures unspool side by side, as do the secrets and doubts long buried with them. Dawn must confront the questions she's never truly asked: What does a life well-lived look like? When we leave this earth, what do we leave behind? Do we make choices...or do our choices make us? And who would you be, if you hadn't turned out to be the person you are right now? --Adapted from publisher description

      Jason Bennett jest typowym ojcem z amerykańskiego przedmieścia. Któregoś dnia sprawy przybierają jednak niepokojący obrót --gdy odwozi rodzinę do domu po meczu hokeja, zaczyna ich śledzić podejrzany pikap. Nagle z samochodu wyskakuje dwóch mężczyzn i wymierza broń w Jasona, żądając jego auta. Ta krótka, ale pełna przemocy chwila odciśnie trwałe piętno na psychice mężczyzny. Później tej samej nocy Jasona i jego rodzinę odwiedza FBI. Agenci twierdzą, że napastnicy byli członkami groźnego gangu handlującego narkotykami, a familia Bennettów jest teraz ich nowym celem. Jedyne wyjście z sytuacji to przystąpienie do programu ochrony świadków, który--jak się okazuje--chroni informatorów policyjnych, a nie przestrzegających prawa, zwyczajnych obywateli. Opuściwszy świat, który znają, uwięzieni w nieznanym miejscu, Bennettowie powoli przestają być rodziną. Wtedy właśnie Jason poznaje prawdę... i zdaje sobie sprawę, że pora wziąć sprawy we swoje ręce.

    • "As we grow older--most of all, in what we remember and what we dream--we live in the past. Sometimes, we live more vividly in the past than in the present. As an older man, Juan Diego will take a trip to the Philippines, but what travels with him are his dreams and memories; he is most alive in his childhood and early adolescence in Mexico. "An aura of fate had marked him," John Irving writes, of Juan Diego. "The chain of events, the links in our lives--what leads us where we're going, the courses we follow to our ends, what we don't see coming, and what we do--all this can be mysterious, or simply unseen, or even obvious." Avenue of Mysteries is the story of what happens to Juan Diego in the Philippines, where what happened to him in the past--in Mexico--collides with his future"--
