DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Set in the colorful backdrop of the Arizona-Mexico border, CafE Dulcet is an insightful story that follows Ximena "Nena" Ferrer through a closely-knit series of past and present events in her life. A captivating, female-character-driven, contemporary drama that draws on a diverse array of characters to complement Nena's strong yet quirky personality, CafE Dulcet is a flavorful discovery of the similarities between coffee beans and people as they go through the processes that test inherent natures and strengths, and ultimately shape and give them their flavor and purpose. CafE Dulcet is also a reminder that no matter how foreign people's lives may seem -- their language, their experiences, their culture, their place in the world -- there is always a point of convergence. Coffee, with its global, all-senses-evoking qualities, oftentimes serves as that unifying factor.

She wonders how she survived a childhood raised by a single Dominican mother on public assistance who suffered from severe mood swings, rage, promiscuous sexual behavior, and cycles of depression. While Maseda pursued her degree at Cornell University, her brothers and cousins entered into a world of substance abuse and its related criminal activities and violence. In Strangers in the Night, Maseda looks inside the dynamics of a family and describes the life of her mother, Nena her early years in the Dominican Republic, immigration to the United States in 1959, her new life in New York City, and raising her children against the backdrop of rage, depression, and a questionable home life. She also shares the trajectory of her two brothers' lives to show that lessons can be learned from their experiences.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →From bestselling author of the remarkable memoir, The Distance Between Us comes an inspiring account of one woman’s quest to find her place in America as a first-generation Latina university student and aspiring writer determined to build a new life for her family one fearless word at a time. “Here is a life story so unbelievable, it could only be true” (Sandra Cisneros, bestselling author of The House on Mango Street). As an immigrant in an unfamiliar country, with an indifferent mother and abusive father, Reyna had few resources at her disposal. Taking refuge in words, Reyna’s love of reading and writing propels her to rise above until she achieves the impossible and is accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz. Although her acceptance is a triumph, the actual experience of American college life is intimidating and unfamiliar for someone like Reyna, who is now estranged from her family and support system. Again, she finds solace in words, holding fast to her vision of becoming a writer, only to discover she knows nothing about what it takes to make a career out of a dream. Through it all, Reyna is determined to make the impossible possible, going from undocumented immigrant of little means to “a fierce, smart, shimmering light of a writer” (Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild); a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist whose “power is growing with every book” (Luis Alberto Urrea, Pultizer Prize finalist); and a proud mother of two beautiful children who will never have to know the pain of poverty and neglect. Told in Reyna’s exquisite, heartfelt prose, A Dream Called Home demonstrates how, by daring to pursue her dreams, Reyna was able to build the one thing she had always longed for: a home that would endure.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The late 1960s was a heady time to come to adulthood, even in deep South Texas. When the narrator of The Quixote Cultknown simply as De la Obegins college, he discovers a world of political activists, Vietnam veterans, small-time drug dealers, and academic opportunists unlike anything he and his friend Lucio ever experienced in the barrio. And the more he sees of the fighting between La Raza revolutionaries, union members, political bosses, and paramilitary protesters, the more De la O wonders if the preaching of Chicano brotherhood isnÍt simply the flowering of another crackpot cult. But as he encounters day-care radicals, tilts at institutional windmills, and learns about St. Che and other icons, De la O also meets such living wonders as the Jewish Aztec Princess and The Brown Barbie. The Quixote Cult confirms Genaro GonzàlezÍs reputation as a rambunctious, quirky writer whose characters, as The Nation wrote, ñcombust into their own living, full-colored realityîeven as they take on such important hippie-era questions as ñYou guys do bathe, donÍt you?î

Standing on the deck of a military transport ship, demanding entry into the United States, Pancho Nakashev, a noted Bulgarian pharmacist and inventor, was delivering a speech in broken English on the evils of communism. His daughter Lilliana stepped forward. She knew that defying her father would land her in trouble, but understood that the wrong answer could send them back to the war torn, occupied nation. No, she told the official. My father is here on a three-month visa. We will return to Sofia when his business is concluded.She did not mention his three other children and five grandchildren left behind. She didn't talk about hearing the siren, fleeing their home, or looking back to see their house bombed to rubble. She couldn't speak about how peace was shattered again for her in the safe village they found, after she was claimed by the local gangster. She may have believed that they would someday return to Bulgaria. Despite the hardships, it was the songs she sang with friends and the close family ties she craved. From a privileged, upper class family, she would become a businesswoman at a time when women did not yet run businesses, in a new place called "suburbia." A pampered daughter and teased youngest sister, she would become her parents' sole support and a lifeline to older siblings left behind. As a mother, she would not let her own children experience need. As a wife, she would devote herself to the sweet man from a tiny village who one day said "hello" to her at a New York City bus stop.Lilliana Seibert's story, "Between Two Worlds," written just as she turned 88, is a thrilling and vivid account of her many personal experiences, the times in which she lived, and the spirit that sustains us all when we need it the most.
