In one of the world’s most beautiful cities, an aging sculptor serves as an inspiration and a warning to two aspiring artists Pursuing literary glory, Edward Gunther gives up his job as a copywriter, sells everything he owns, and moves with his wife and three children from Chicago to Venice. But success does not come as quickly or as painlessly as Edward had hoped. During his first month in Italy, he struggles to get his essays published, argues with his wife about the family finances, and embarks on an unsteady affair with Nina Callahan, an American poet who insists on keeping him at arm’s length. It seems that Edward’s dreams will never come true, but when he discovers that Nina has befriended Thaddeus Stitch, the famous sculptor, a ray of hope appears. If anyone has the spark of genius, it is Stitch, who counted Yeats and Rilke as his friends and is inarguably one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists. Perhaps some of the old man’s creative energy will rub off on Edward, to whom a note of encouragement from such a luminary would mean everything. But Stitch is bitter and distant, preoccupied with his own doubts. Ancient now, he feels his talent slipping from his grasp and recognizes that the world is ready to move on without him. He knows that his masterpiece, a collection of figures and abstractions on an island in the Venetian Lagoon, will eventually disappear beneath the rising waters of the Adriatic. Over the course of a foggy winter, these three lonely souls try to come to terms with the direction of their lives and the meaning of their work. Written shortly after Richard Stern met Ezra Pound and widely recognized as a remarkable portrait of that inimitable literary lion, Stitch is an incisive and sympathetic novel about the joys and disappointments of a life devoted to art.

We’re told Justice should be blind. We’ve been taught that “The Truth will set you free.” But is that the world in which we find ourselves? Cancel culture, biased narratives, mainstream media, and giant corporations; these are the mindsets and special interests that have ferociously aligned in a force that silences and punishes the common citizen. Historically, the Justice System has been the entity to stand in the gap to ensure citizens aren’t overpowered. But is that still the case? Through the lens of defamation law, “Dismissed” serves as an examination of how the justice system has been taken over by political maneuvering and American citizens are suffering. The book delves into high-profile defamation cases, revealing how the rich and powerful use litigation to stifle dissent and control public perception. The impact of social media on modern defamation law cannot be overstated. As platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram become battlegrounds for public opinion, the lines between personal expression and legal liability blur. "Dismissed" explores how online reputations are made and destroyed in an instant, and how the courts are struggling to keep up with the pace of digital communication. The book provides a critical look at the role of tech giants in moderating content and their influence on the legal landscape. Furthermore, "Dismissed" addresses the growing concern of judicial bias and the politicization of the bench. Through meticulous research and compelling narratives, the book argues that partisan interests and campaign contributions are compromising the integrity of the judiciary. Readers will gain insight into the ways judges are appointed and the impact of their rulings on the fabric of American democracy. This book is a call to action for legal reform and the protection of individual rights. At its core, "Dismissed" is a powerful commentary on the state of justice in America. It challenges readers to question the status quo and to advocate for a legal system that truly serves the people. By shining a light on the misuse of defamation law, the book aims to inspire change and restore faith in the principle that justice should be impartial and accessible to all. Todd V. McMurtry is an accomplished trial attorney, and skilled mediator committed to professional excellence. His involvement in nationally recognized defamation cases and his expertise as a mediator for commercial disputes have cemented his reputation as a leading legal authority, frequently collaborating with local counsel nationwide. He has represented prominent public figures in defamation actions, secured retractions for high-profile clients, and achieved significant victories in arbitration and jury trials. His notable successes include defending a national bank against complex allegations, managing multi-million-dollar failures of insurance funds, and winning a medical malpractice jury trial.

Say good-bye to religious confusion and uncertainty! Understand the true Gospel of Jesus Christ using the most simplified realistic and logical process ever. Never before has there been, packed into so few pages, this much valuable and verifiable information regarding the truth that Satan DOES NOT want you to know! Stitch by stitch, we will sew together the four essential threads of the Gospel: TRUTH, REASON, HOPE and FAITH. Truth secures our footing on the evidenced legitimacy of the foundation laid by Christ. Reason clarifies truth, the written Word of God, in a way that all can relate to and understand. Hope gives us the push of realism we need to get through the most difficult trials of life. And finally, faith brings it all together-the eternal investment in the promises of Almighty God who wants to bless you beyond your imagination. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6

Deaf. Princess. Witch. SOME IDENTITIES YOU EMBRACE. OTHERS WILL GET YOU KILLED. Sixteen-year-old Marguerite knows her uncle doesn't like her. True, she's in line for the throne before him and he contends she's too deaf to rule, but she's known since he broke her hand to keep her from using sign language. Now, as the kingdom's Bishop-Princep, Uncle Reichard has declared war on magic and Marguerite must hide the fact that she's a witch. While witnessing her first witch trial, Marguerite rescues a child from death with the help of a handsome, itinerant acrobat, Tys. Marguerite flees, hiding in the neighboring empire where magical gifts can flourish. Before her training is complete, war threatens. She returns home, only to witness her uncle seizing the throne. He isolates and imprisons her. Marguerite's love for her people drives her to continue defying him. But to challenge him means she'll have to rely on her homemade invisibility cloak, questionable allies, and Tys, the one boy she never should have trusted.

In the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado, there thrives a folk tradition with links to both the past and future. Colcha embroidery is a traditional Spanish colonial style of textile, bed covering, or wall hanging dating from the early nineteenth century. In the first book to consider this craft, Suzanne MacAulay provides a detailed account of this folk art tradition that is both old and constantly renewing itself, presenting a sensitive portrayal of artists and the contexts in which they live and work. Stitching Rites reveals how art, history, and memory interweave in a rich creative web. Based on archival research and on extensive interviews with artists, the book reveals the personal motivations of the embroiderers and their relationships with their work, with each other, with their community, and with outsiders. Through stitchers like Josephine Lobato and the San Luis Ladies Sewing Circle, MacAulay shows how colcha creation is bound up in a perpetual round of cultural commentary and self-reflection. MacAulay includes detailed descriptions of changes in stitching techniques, themes, and styles to show the impact of a wide range of outside influences on the lives of the artists and on the art form. She also provides a discussion of New Mexican Carson colchas and their place in the collector market. By focusing on the individual creative act, she shows how colcha embroidery is used to record how a stitcher's memories of her life are intertwined with the history of her community. Through this picture of a community of embroiderers, MacAulay helps us to understand their stitching rites and sheds new light on the relationship between Hispanic and Anglo cultures.

From the number-one bestselling author of Maria in the Moon and The Lion Tamer Who Lost comes a sweeping, beautifully written, tender story of love, courage and the power of words... ***Longlisted for the Not the Booker Prize*** 'It's a gentle book, full of emotion and it's similar in tone to The Book Thief, a book that Rose reads with a torch under the bedclothes' Irish Times 'Louise Beech masterfully envelops us in two worlds separated by time yet linked by fierce family devotion, bravery and the triumph of human spirit. Wonderful' Amanda Jennings ______________ All the stories died that morning ... until we found the one we'd always known. When nine-year-old Rose is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, Natalie must use her imagination to keep her daughter alive. They begin dreaming about and seeing a man in a brown suit who feels hauntingly familiar, a man who has something for them. Through the magic of storytelling, Natalie and Rose are transported to the Atlantic Ocean in 1943, to a lifeboat, where an ancestor survived for fifty days before being rescued. Poignant, beautifully written and tenderly told, How To Be Brave weaves together the contemporary story of a mother battling to save her child's life with an extraordinary true account of bravery and a fight for survival in the Second World War. A simply unforgettable debut that celebrates the power of words, the redemptive energy of a mother's love ... and what it really means to be brave. ______________ 'An amazing story of hope and survival ... a love letter to the power of books and stories' Nick Quantrill 'Two family stories of loss and redemption intertwine in a painfully beautiful narrative. This book grabbed me right around my heart and didn't let go' Cassandra Parkin 'Louise Beech is a natural born storyteller and this is a wonderful story' Russ Litten 'Beautifully written, intelligent and moving, this book will stay with you long after you reach the end' Ruth Dugdall
