      "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

    • Diana O’Toole has a clear life plan: marry by thirty, have kids by thirty-five, and advance in her career at Sotheby’s. With a potential promotion on the horizon, she anticipates a proposal from her boyfriend, Finn, during their romantic getaway to the Galápagos, just before her thirtieth birthday. However, a virus has emerged, and on the eve of their trip, Finn must stay behind to help at the hospital, urging Diana to go alone to avoid wasting their nonrefundable vacation. Once in the Galápagos, Diana's dream vacation quickly unravels. Her luggage is lost, Wi-Fi is scarce, and their hotel is closed due to the pandemic, leaving her stranded on the island. Isolated and out of her comfort zone, she begins to connect with a local family, particularly a teenager who confides in her despite his father's distrust of outsiders. Amidst the backdrop of the Galápagos Islands, where Darwin developed his theory of evolution, Diana reflects on her relationships and life choices. This unexpected journey forces her to confront who she is and who she might become, leaving her to wonder if she will return home transformed.

      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.

      'A writer the world should be reading right now.' Independent Who would you be, if you hadn't turned out to be the person you are now? Dawn is a death doula, and spends her life helping people make the final transition peacefully. But when the plane she's on plummets, she finds herself thinking not of the perfect life she has, but the life she was forced to abandon fifteen years ago - when she left behind a career in Egyptology, and a man she loved. Against the odds, she survives, and the airline offers her a ticket to wherever she needs to get to - but the answer to that question suddenly seems uncertain. As the path of her life forks in two very different directions, Dawn must confront questions she's never truly asked: What does a well-lived life look like? What do we leave behind when we go? And do we make our choices, or do our choices make us? Two possible futures. One impossible choice. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 'It is hard to exaggerate how well Picoult writes.'

    • "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"--
