Is Talith as innocent as she once thought?

    Author: John Steinbeck Here, in this short book illumined by the deep understanding and love of humanity that have made John Steinbeck one of the most beloved writes of our day is an old Mexican folk story. It is the story of the great pearl; how it was found and lost again. It is a simple story of simple people, recounted with the warmth and sincerity and unrivalled craftsmanship which Steinbeck brings to his writing. It is deeply moving and so beautifully presented that the reader's hope for mankind is rekindled. Of this story of Kino the fisherman, his wife Coyitito and Juana their baby, Mr. Steinbeck himself writes: "As with all re-told tales that are in people's hearts, there are only good and bad things and black and white things, and no in-between things anywhere."

    "I will break you and your foolish little heart into a million pieces, I will break you in every way possible. You Faye Silverstone, are mine, and mine alone." Falling for Tom Riddle was not at all what 17-year-old Faye Silverstone planned for her 7th year at Hogwarts. Yet something about him was intoxicating, the way he carried himself, the ways his eyes lit up, and the way the corners of his lips quirked up, were all things she found herself in love with. But Tom had other intentions, Tom wasn't planning to fall for someone, and he wouldn't let Faye get in the way of his plans, no matter how much he cared for her.
