Story
When the little girl from Haiti entered Mitch Albom’s life, everything changed. When she left, her legacy of joy, family, courage, and overcoming left the world richer for her being in it, however brief. Chika Jeune was a Haitian national sent to the same orphanage that Mitch Albom found himself managing in 2013. They were devastated when she was diagnosed with DIPG months later. The couple took Chika into their home in America, caring for her, and shouldering her medical bills. There is more to the story than the birth of a family, though.

Fiona was adopted at eight months old. From the age of six when her first real memory of being told she was adopted registered, she started to feel different. Always being reassured she was special, chosen, and wanted seemed to just enhance that feeling of not being the same as her brother and sister. Emotionally, the struggle was intense as instead of being able to speak about how she was feeling, her behavior became increasingly difficult to manage.

Foreign correspondent Neely Tucker and his wife, Vita, arrived in Zimbabwe in 1997. After witnessing firsthand the devastating consequences of AIDS on the population, especially the children, the couple started volunteering at an orphanage that was desperately underfunded and short-staffed. One afternoon, a critically ill infant was brought to the orphanage from a village outside the city. She’d been left to die in a field on the day she was born, abandoned in the tall brown grass that covers the highlands of Zimbabwe in the dry season.

Uno de los más preciosos libros acerca del significado de la palabra familia. Cerca de cumplir los cincuenta años, Fabiola Hablützel descubrió que era adoptada. Después de salir del estado de conmoción que esta noticia le produjo, pensó que aquel descubrimiento era la respuesta a la pregunta que se había hecho desde niña. En más de una ocasión, la posibilidad de no ser hija biológica de sus padres rondó su mente, ya que el parecido físico con ellos no resultaba suficiente. Por más que recibió todo el amor que alguien hubiera podido desear, sentía que había algo distinto en ella.

There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
