Every young girl dreams of becoming a princess someday, doesn't she? Possibly. But fairy tales also warned that sometimes princesses got trapped in castles. For most of my life, I had only one plan: survive Maria and Luca until I turned eighteen, then disappear. My neglectful "parents" barely seemed to care whether I came home, but one question always haunted me. When the time came, would they actually let me go? Then Maria and Luca were arrested on drug charges. Just when freedom seemed to be within my reach, within hours it was snatched away again as a secret sixteen years in the making became known. Before marrying Luca, Maria had had a whole other life. One that included a husband and kids. Which she had all but erased when she'd fled while pregnant with her last child. Me. Enter Mr. Castellucci and his seven sons. They weren't exactly the dashing princes of a fairy tale. But what they were, were dark, imposing, frightening men who had spent fifteen years searching for the child Maria had run away with, and now that they had found me, they had very definite ideas about what happened next. Before I could decide whether I wanted any part of this supposed long-lost family, I was whisked away across the ocean to begin a new life on a lavish Italian estate with eight strangers who were adamant that I was the missing piece they'd been searching for. I had spent fifteen years wishing someone would notice me, and now that someone had, it was decided I would be the heart of their family. Maybe that was why I didn't notice my dream of freedom slipping away until it was too late. Because I hadn't been the only one dreaming, the Castelluccis had spent fifteen years dreaming too. One where their missing Principessa had finally come home. And now that they had me, they had absolutely no intention of losing me again. ______ My dark and twisted take on the cliché Mafia, Long-Lost Sister/Daughter, and Found Younger Sibling tropes.

Verne has always been a fun-now-worry-later kind of guy. One of those guys that always takes the path of least resistance. It's easy to live that way thanks to loving parents who provided him with a cushy lifestyle. Naiveté comes easy for him, and as a closet romantic he's easily swept off his feet. So he pursues love and leaves behind his sleepy rural hometown when opportunity struck. Yet Verne is forced to return home; to reevaluate his life and plan accordingly. But not everything always goes according to plan. Rekindling old flames snuffed out abruptly back at home is most definitely not part of the plan.

This is the story of a spiritual awakening that occurs over the course of walking from one end of a train to the other. Each section of the train brings different elements of life to the forefront of our considerations. The work is deeply spiritual, deeply philosophical and its infrastructure is so complex that I actually feel the need to say that it must have been written into my DNA because I cannot take credit for something that goes so far beyond my own capabilities.

A compilation, edited by Ellyn Peirson, of her son's writings through his 3 year journey with a rare, incurable cancer... I am Keats as you are: one man's journey to final enlightenment. Glenn Peirson died much too soon, stricken by a fast-spreading sinus cancer and leaving our world in November 2009 at 44. Glenn, as a friend described him, was a true Renaissance man, a man of compassion, intellect and deep passion. His battle with The Beast extended for three torturous, draining years. It killed Glenn Peirson, but it did not defeat him. As he wrote to his friends and family just prior to his death: "We are always open to your questions, concerns, gestures and good-will. We are, as always, allergic to pity and despair..." Peirson's battle with cancer lies at the heart of this book, a mixed reference to the Romantic poet John Keats and the Beatles. I am Keats as you are is a compilation of Peirson's own poetry and the hundreds of letters he sent to family and friends over the course of his struggle with cancer. This is a powerful, passionate, highly personal book about a view of the world. It invites the reader into an exploration and provides insights garnered along a brief, beautiful, fully-walked path. https://amzn.com/1530037549 published by http://www.creativia.org
