What happened to Brigitte Berthold? That question has haunted Daniel Knight since he was thirteen, when he and ten-year-old Brigitte escaped the Gestapo agents who arrested both their parents. They survived a harrowing journey from Germany to England, only to be separated upon their arrival. Daniel vowed to find Brigitte after the war, a promise he has fought to fulfill for more than seventy years. Now a wealthy old man, Daniel’s final hope in finding Brigitte rests with Quenby Vaughn, an American journalist working in London. He believes Quenby’s tenacity to find missing people and her personal investment in a related WWII espionage story will help her succeed where previous investigators have failed. Though Quenby is wrestling her own demons—and wary at the idea of teaming up with Daniel’s lawyer, Lucas Hough—the lure of Brigitte’s story is too much to resist. Together, Quenby and Lucas delve deep into the past, following a trail of deception, sacrifice, and healing that could change all of their futures. A 2018 Christy Award finalist!

Now a Netflix film starring and directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, this is a gripping memoir of survival and perseverance about the heroic young inventor who brought electricity to his Malawian village. When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land. Retold for a younger audience, this exciting memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation, one boy's brilliant idea can light up the world. Complete with photographs, illustrations, and an epilogue that will bring readers up to date on William's story, this is the perfect edition to read and share with the whole family.

The beautiful Princess Tanafriti, beloved daughter of Pharaoh Merenptah of Egypt, awakens one blissful morning to find that her life of privilege does not come without a price. The burden of a title means she is to be made a bride to a former enemy in order to keep a peaceful alliance between her father's empire and King Solomon's growing kingdom. Understanding the depth of her duty, Tanafriti journeys to Jerusalem with personal maids and guardsmen in tow, including her true love, Kam. The transition is not an easy one, as there are several Israelites who believe bringing a gentile into the sacred land of David the Great is blasphemous to God.The future of the kingdom now rests in King Solomon's hands, offering stresses of its own despite his divine wisdom as he waits in anguish for his bride. 'She of the Beautiful Land' is to be with him soon, and he longs for his wife. When the betrothed meet, the prior struggles are minimized by yet more religious opposition, but genuine love prevails. Solomon's desire for Tanafriti inspires the royal palacea "the only one built for any of his thousand wives. When their marriage fails to produce a male heir, Solomon leaves Tanafriti in distress and Kam to decipher his newfound role in Solomon's guard. New Hebrew and Danite friends and a miracle in the new temple prompt the princess to resign pagan rituals and follow the living God. Her faith brings wisdom, just like her husband's, and motivates her to encourage the Queen of Sheba with insight into the king, as well as offer guidance to Solomon. Through it all, a remarkable journey awaits the lives of all as an ultimate plan from a higher power strategically makes way into two kingdoms and two hearts vying for power and romance."

When author Josef N. Ferri met a senior honors student from South Park High School named Marilyn, he felt an immediate spark. He drew her into conversation, and the two instantly became involved in something beyond teenage small talk. He reconnected with her a bit later, just as the second half of the 1960s began to unfold. From the night of their innocent and romantic first date, their journey was filled with wonder and amazement. But almost immediately, they were faced with huge obstacles, as on that same night they almost died in an accident involving a drunken driver. Ultimately, confusion and misunder-standing separated them forever, but by then they'd lived their most cherished dream. Amid the turbulence and sociopolitical upheaval of the 1960s and the painful chaos of their individual troubled home lives, they found an extraordinary sanctuary in their deep love, and it was "a love that was more than love." Somehow, it still survives in Trying to Catch the Wind.
