Dégagné I Can't Be the Only One Who... is an uplifting collection of personal reflections from a diverse group of ordinary people from all walks of life. Each anonymous contributor shares a unique anecdote about themselves that they believe to be uncommon or odd, whether it’s a private thought, an unconventional habit, or a life circumstance. At the end of the day, this book showcases that we’re not alone after all, amidst our distinct peculiarities - even though at times we may feel like we are. | | | I'm here by Adam Arbiter On the cusp of adulthood, Garret Clarke embarks on a life changing path. Thrust onto the front lines of World War 2, he is eager to become a hero, but the reality of war is not what was promised. The arrival of new soldiers, after a particularly horrible battle, allows for new friendships to form. Simon Cooper is destined to be more than just a friend. The two find all that they have ever been in search of in one another and they dream of a life and future together. | | | A Wolf Rages Down the Little Jocko by Denis Stokes "Generous, gracious, patient, warm, vividly descriptive, poised and at ease in his singing lines, without nullity or bitterness, Denis' seamless conversational writing creates an immediate rapport and a rare momentum of kindness. | | | | From Out Of The Shadows by A.G.V. McPherson Silmanus and Mara are the unlikeliest of allies: an elven wizard and a human outlaw. Plunged together in a struggle for survival, desperation and necessity form an uneasy alliance between elf and human, an alliance challenged by the most lethal warriors in Aeternerras—the sinister Dark Elves. Much to his astonishment, Silmanus discovers his lowly views towards humans are misplaced as he fights side-by-side with them as equals. But could a wizard and a human have anything in common? | | | Till Death Do Us Part by Diane Gravelle Giroux Renee’s perfect life with her husband, Paul, is shattered when he is presumed dead in the September 11 attacks. Unaware that Paul survived but lost his memory, Renee struggles with grief, pregnancy, and a bitter battle against her controlling in-laws, who seek custody of her baby. Meanwhile, Paul, cared for by a kind single mother named Rachel, falls in love. When a news story about Renee restores his memory, Paul is forced to confront his past and choose between the life he lost and the new love he has found. | | | Omorfia by Josée Lefebvre For hundreds of years, Omorfians lived in four distinct communities, Tofysiko, Ignosi, Aisthiseis and Synaisthima, each protecting a mystical and monumental viribus tree. With only a lifespan of five years, Omorfians do not fully understand their purpose, only that they must follow the rules of their culture and protect the viribus trees. It is not until the ruthless Sapiens of the South begin to kidnap their kind that the Omorfians begin to understand the meaning of their existence. | | Meet Libby!
