ENGLISH DESCRIPTION As a young man, Jacob Jankowski was tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It was the early part of the Great Depression, and for Jacob the circus was both his salvation and a living hell. A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an untrainable elephant who was the great gray hope for this third-rate traveling show. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was ultimately their only hope for survival.

Porque no hay quinto malo...

En el verano del 2004, María Antonieta Collins se pre-paraba para escribir su quinto libro, cuando de repente se vio propulsada al mismísimo centro de una telenovela mexicana. Después de casi una década de estar felizmente casada con su esposo, Fabio, su armoniosa existencia familiar se tornó en un huracán cuando la ex esposa de su marido reapareció intempestivamente en sus vidas. La mujer, una rusa que Fabio no había visto en más de trece años, llegó un día a Miami con las intenciones de recobrar a su ex marido y sacudir los cimientos de la vida que María Antonieta y Fabio tanto habían luchado por conseguir.

Enfrentada a esta difícil situación, María Antonieta tenía dos opciones: podía tomar el camino fácil y separarse de Fabio, o podía tomar el más difícil y aprender a no dejarse vencer por una situación que nada tenía que ver con ella. Entonces, con el valor y la perseverancia que la caracterizan, María Antonieta decidió ponerle buena cara al mal tiempo, y luchar de una vez por todas por el hombre que ama.

En este, su quinto libro, María Antonieta cuenta la historia de este doloroso momento de su vida y se adentra en el imprevisible mundo de los ex esposos, ex esposas, ex novios y ex novias. Hoy en día, todo el mundo tiene un "ex" y para sobrevivir a lo que puede llegar a ser una experiencia desgarradora y aniquilante, hay que saber mantenerse firme, y confiar tanto en sí mismo como en la persona que se ama. A través de la pesadilla que tuvo que vivir con la ex esposa de su marido, y los muchos otros "ex" de su vida, María Antonieta ayuda una vez más a sus lectores, ofreciéndoles su humor y sus consejos más acertados para aprender a tomar la decisión adecuada en el momento adecuado.

De repente, en medio de aquel silencio sepulcral, comprendi lo que estaba pasando, y todas las piezas comenzaron a encajar. Algo que Edgard no queria que yo supiera...Algo que Jacob no me hubiera ocultado jamas...Algo que habia hecho que los Cullen y los hombres lobo anduvieran juntos por el bosque en una proximidad peligrosa...algo que de todos modos, yo habia estado esperando. Algo que yo sabia que volveria a ocurrir, aunque deseaba con todas mis fuerzas que no fuera asi.Hasta cuando?

A Spanish Translation of A Catfish Tale.

The characters are delightful and the reader will chuckle at the highly unlikely friendships that are a model for diversity and tolerance.

Discussion questions delve into friendship, responsibility, temptation and geography, and enable parents, educators, therapists and librarians to create a dynamic learning experience from an engaging storyline with whimsical illustrations by Brodsky's talented illustrator, Cameron Bennett.

The need for change as we get older--an emotional pressure for one phase of our lives to transition into another--is a human phenomenon, neither male nor female. There simply comes a time in our lives--not fundamentally different from the way puberty separates childhood from adulthood--when it's time for one part of ourselves to die and for something new to be born. The purpose of this book by best-selling author and lecturer Marianne Williamson is to psychologically and spiritually reframe this transition so that it leads to a wonderful sense of joy and awakening. In our ability to rethink our lives lies our greatest power to change them. What we have called "middle age" need not be seen as a turning point toward death. It can be viewed as a magical turning point toward life as we've never known it, if we allow ourselves the power of an independent imagination--thought-forms that don't flow in a perfunctory manner from ancient assumptions merely handed down to us, but rather flower into new archetypal images of a humanity just getting started at 45 or 50. What we've learned by that time, from both our failures as well as our successes, tends to have humbled us into purity. When we were young, we had energy but we were clueless about what to do with it. Today, we have less energy, perhaps, but we have far more understanding of what each breath of life is for. And now at last, we have a destiny to fulfill--not a destiny of a life that's simply over, but rather a destiny of a life that is finally truly lived. Midlife is not a crisis; it's a time of rebirth. It's not a time to accept your death; it's a time to accept your .life--and to finally, truly live it, as you and you alone know deep in your heart it was meant to be lived.
