Pour Arlo, une seule règle : on ne touche pas à Tillie. À la fac de San Diego, depuis quatre ans, Arlo Sheridan est chez lui : ici, il respire vraiment. Enfin, il respirait jusqu’à ce que "Baby Tillie" ait l’âge de les rejoindre sur le campus, Colleen et lui. Colleen, c’est la grande sœur de Tillie et la meilleure amie d’Arlo. Ces deux-là sont liés par un truc indéfinissable, et rien ni personne ne pourrait passer avant leur amitié.

Tutta la verità. Ma obliqua. Intraducibile Emily Dickinson, se non con nuove figure, nuove immagini, una nuova storia. È quello che fa Elena Varvello con "Solo un ragazzo", che a sua volta è la risposta semplice e assoluta a una domanda che urge per tutto il libro: "Che cosa sei?" È ciò che chiedono i padri e che soffrono le madri di fronte all'enigma dell'adolescenza. Un'età che fugge e sfugge, un'età malvagia e innocente, che conserva e spreca: l'età della contaminazione.

With only a few dollars to her name and her beloved dog Copper by her side, Selena flees her past in the city to claim her late aunt’s house in the desert town of Quartz Creek.

Like the desert gods and spirits lingering outside Selena’s house at night, keeping watch.

To find him, they must host an intergalactic spouse-search for one of the most powerful rulers in the Galaxy. Dina is never one to back down from a challenge. That is, if she can manage her temperamental Red Cleaver chef; the consequences of her favorite Galactic ex-tyrant's dark history; the tangled politics of an interstellar nation, and oh, yes, keep the wedding candidates from a dozen alien species from killing each other.

Charming, easygoing, and rich beyond belief, Xavier Castillo has the world at his fingertips. He also has no interest in taking over his family’s empire (much to his father’s chagrin), but that hasn’t stopped women from throwing themselves at him…unless the woman in question is his publicist. Nothing brings him more joy than riling her up, but when a tragedy forces them closer than ever, he must grapple with the uncertainty of his future—and the realization that the only person immune to his charms is the only one he truly wants.

We are told God will punish the wicked; that sinful men will reap what they sow. We are told to scourge our souls with prayer and pain to become clean once again. Well, here I am. Wicked and sinful. Desperate to become clean - even though it feels so good to be dirty. But even I never expected what came next. Even I never expected my punishment to come so soon.

What if the most important work of your life isn’t something you chase—but something you uncover, slowly, in stillness? What if your presence is the greatest offering you can make to the world? This book is an invitation to come home to yourself—gently, honestly, and with great love. As an evolution of, and a departure from, her best-selling journals, Practice You, and Being You, Brower draws on her memories and life experiences, her practice of yoga and Nonviolent Communication, and more recently, her study of Zen, to offer us a road map for living with presence and reverence.

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well.

Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.
