Una's Crossroads, an historical Irish mail order bride romance like no others! LARGE PRINT EDITION Una and McKenna Brady have undergone more heartbreak in their young years then many people go through in a lifetime. The Irish potato famine left their homeland ravaged and their family buried in the ground. Now, on their way to a distant relative in Missouri Una is determined to take care of her younger sister and create a new life. Henry Mackey is an easygoing country boy who has never taken anything too seriously, until he meets Una. When Una sees Henry's green eyes she is trapped by the thought of him. When Una discovers that Mr. Mackey has been arranged as her husband she can't believe her good fortune. But a family dinner with her future husband proves that things aren't always what they seem... Henry Mackey has stolen Una Brady's heart. Unfortunately, her heart has chosen the wrong brother to fall in love with. As family bonds are stretched to their limit Una must choose between her heart and her familial duty. When McKenna Brady meets her own future husband everything is changed. Horace Boucher is a big man in words and stature. He's a man with few moral scruples and plenty of money. Exactly the sort of man Una would never let her sister marry. As things reach a boiling point between Horace and the Brady girls, Una is determined to intervene on her sister's behalf. When Henry helps her to do it, Una's love for him only grows stronger. Though her mind tells her not to, Una isn't sure she can hold her heart back any longer. Una Brady's tactics in throwing off Horace Boucher have turned out to be far more potent than she ever bargained for. Horace is not going to marry McKenna but now if Una doesn't act McKenna's reputation could be permanently scarred. Soon, Una realizes that the only way to protect her sister is to throw away her own heart's desire, which means letting go of Henry Mackey. When the time for action comes down to the wire Una makes her final decision, but a surprising punch makes Una realize that it may not be solely her decision.

In New York City, Times Square is known as the crossroads of the world. It's where everyone comes to ring in the New Year-the good and the bad, the beautiful and the gritty . . . and the NYPD. But for Tony Cavalucci, an NYPD cop, the holiday season means long hours and little sleep. Instead of joining the countdown, Tony finds himself trapped between his feuding family and his new girlfriend, Michele. After a terrible family fight, Tony runs head on into his struggle against alcohol and wonders if taking a drink would solve all his problems. Or is there another way? Will his family come around or does continuing his relationship with Michele mean giving up on the people he loves? As edgy as life on the streets, The Crossroads, book two in the Midtown Blue series, follows the continuing struggle of one rugged cop.

Dopo 7 anni, finalmente anche in Italia il libro più atteso del decennio: il secondo romanzo di W. Paul Young, autore del bestseller "Il Rifugio". Una nuova storia dalla stessa mente che ci ha regalato Il Rifugio: parla di scelte, di partecipazione, di relazioni, parla delle conseguenze delle nostre azioni. Cross Roads è il luogo dove tutto crolla, tutto viene sfidato, perché possa emergere la possibilità di un cambiamento genuino. Fa ridere e piangere, sorprende e meraviglia: è una testimonianza della ricerca della bellezza e dell’autenticità, e del bisogno che ne abbiamo. Tutti noi siamo chiamati a compiere delle scelte, ad attraversare delle strade, a guardarci negli occhi, ad amarci l’un l’altro. È la storia di un uomo prigioniero della sua stessa creazione. Anthony Spencer è un uomo egoista, orgoglioso del suo successo come self-made man, seppur raggiunto a costo di scelte dolorose. Un’emorragia cerebrale lo lascia in coma in ospedale. Si “risveglia” in un mondo surreale, che rispecchia la sua vita sulla terra, nel bene e nel male. È qui che, forse per la prima volta nella sua vita, ha incontri genuini con altre persone, che gli danno una speranza di redenzione. Avrà il coraggio di fare la difficile scelta che gli permetterà di risolvere l’ingiustizia commessa prima di cadere in coma?

Film itself is an artifact of memory. A blend of all the other fine arts, film portrays and preserves human memory, someone's memory, faulty or not, dramatically or comically, in a documentary, feature film or short. Hollywood may dominate 80 percent of cinema production but it is not the only voice. World cinema is about those other voices. Drawn initially from presentations from a series of film conferences held at the University of Texas at San Antonio, this collection of essays covers multiple geographical, linguistic, and cultural areas worldwide, emphasizing the historical and cultural interpretation of films. Appendices list films focusing on memory and invite readers to explore the films and issues raised.
