Story
From the author of the award-winning Waiting on Zapote Street comes a story based on true events.

Story
“Se ha dicho muchas veces que la realidad supera la ficción. Es una frase tan manida que ha comenzado a caer en desuso. Sin embargo, hay libros que justifican su empleo. Este es el caso de Esperando en la calle Zapote, de la escritora cubanoamericana Betty Viamontes, quien se sintió obligada a escribir en su contraportada, a modo de advertencia, estas palabras: ‘Este libro está basado en una historia de la vida real’. Aunque quizás, para preparar aún más al lector, pudo haber agregado: ‘Es la historia de mi propia familia; la misma que mi madre, justo antes de morir, me pidió...

Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil coparenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas, again. After nearly two years separated, she is elated that for once, time is on their side, and she immediately says yes when Atlas asks her on a date.

Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our wellbeing.

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.
