Book Description
Things are not going well for Maansi Cavale. Her depression is worsening, she barely passes her university exams and she winds up stuck at home, full of regret and unable to find a job. She'd do anything for a way out. Though Maansi previously considered arranged marriage an outdated tradition (only to be agreed to if you're in your mid-forties and unable to bag anybody yourself), a chance meeting at an Indian wedding party changes everything. Desperate to escape the shackles of monotony and unemployment, she agrees to marry the handsome and wealthy Aryan Alekar. She convinces herself a new lifestyle and wealth will lift her out of the pit. She secures the marriage, but not before serving up a few lies about herself... As they settle into married life, Aryan remains a mystery to Maansi: some days warm and loving, others cold and distant. Maansi can't help but wonder...who is Aryan Alekar really? And why did he choose to marry so young? While living with Aryan, Maansi realises she could never be satisfied playing housewife. After all, she once had goals and dreams. While searching for the ambition she has buried, Maansi starts to realise that the man she has married is even further from what he seems... Can she salvage their union or will they set each other free? . All the Words Unspoken is a fresh, new voice from debut British-Asian author, Serena Kaur. It is a love story that challenges our preconceptions of relationships and shows us that the choices we make have implications and ramifications far beyond the horizon we can see.

Book Description
A Civil War–era girl’s courage is tested in this haunting, wordless story. When a farm girl discovers a runaway slave hiding in the barn, she is at once startled and frightened. But the stranger’s fearful eyes weigh upon her conscience, and she must make a difficult choice. Will she have the courage to help him? Unspoken gifts of humanity unite the girl and the runaway as they each face a journey: one following the North Star, the other following her heart. Henry Cole’s unusual and original rendering of the Underground Railroad speaks directly to our deepest sense of compassion. Praise for Unspoken A New York Times Best Illustrated Book “Designed to present youngsters with a moral choice . . . the author, a former teacher, clearly intended Unspoken to be a challenging book, its somber sepia tone drawings establish a mood of foreboding.” —The New York Times Book Review “Moving and emotionally charged.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Gorgeously rendered in soft dark pencils, this wordless book is reminiscent of the naturalistic pencil artistry of Maurice Sendak and Brian Selznick.” —School Library Journal, starred review “Cole’s . . . beautifully detailed pencil drawings on cream-colored paper deftly visualize a family’s ruggedly simple lifestyle on a Civil War–era homestead, while facing stark, ethical choices . . . Cole conjures significant tension and emotional heft . . . in this powerful tale of quiet camaraderie and courage.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Book Description
Allowing words to be used as a GPS device, one could travel from a positive position of a compass to a negative position of one. The top of the compass can be compared to the words that encourage one to build his or her dreams. Positive words can have the same effect as a traffic light. The green light allows one to proceed in the direction in which one wishes to travel. A direction full of prosperity, encouragement, and strong determination that will help one reach his or her destiny. The bottom of the compass could be compared to the use of negative words, which could destroy one's dreams, hopes, or ambition. Negative words have the same effect as a knife being thrust into one's back or a bullet shot into someone's heart. Be careful how you choose your words. You can either tear someone down or help build them up.

Book Description
Life has its way of dictating to us a direction that may not be best. The dictation comes from expexted participation in society and our experiences. The best life direction has to include Gods divine plan for our certainty of peace and happiness. Most do not see or realize Gods plan until a series of mistakes open doors to true reality. Two such individuals experienced this life-changing direction at an unexpected time during the winter years of their lives. The prose within tells of this direction and their findings. Although not searching or seeking , lifes circumstances directed each of them on a path always desired, yet never attained until each stopped trying themselves, and allowed Gods true direction to lead. This poetry will inspire the reader for years to come. Its reality of finding real love in the winter years of life is truly refreshing. Mattie Hughes, Teacher
