Book Description
What if Adolf Hitler had developed nuclear weaponry by 1941 and had won the war ... and only you had the power to travel back in time to stop him? THE WORLD THAT COULD HAVE BEEN, by Bijan Anjomi, one of America’s most successful nonfiction authors in the field of spirituality, tells the story of John Potter, a restaurant owner in Nazi-controlled Orange County, California in the year 1967. John, forty, like others of his generation, has never come to terms with the Nazi takeover of the United States (and the rest of the world), and harbors the deep desire to contribute somehow to the movement that would uproot the Nazi occupation from his beloved country. At the same time, John’s father, an intelligence agent who had been sent to Germany by the United States government in the early 1930s, was captured and killed by the Nazis, thus contributing a personal level of dedication on John’s part to the anti-Nazi cause. The only problem is that one man can have no effect on the future of world affairs ... especially a man running a restaurant that, like it or not, caters to high officials of the Nazi regime in Southern California. But then it dawns on John: look how much evil one individual, Adolf Hitler, was able to perpetrate in his lifetime (which in the story, never ends, as Hitler celebrates his ninety-first birthday as the story opens). If one man is able to create so much evil in the world, John muses, perhaps one man could create an equal or superior amount of good. John gets his wish when one day he discovers a time travel machine placed in his basement by the “Ancients,”

Lexie now lives with her aunt, has minimal interaction with her parents, and has no communication with her brother. But the pain is always there. After starting her newest school, all she wants is to just live life. But how can she when the past keeps threatening to drag her back?

“I made him cry because he made you cry,” Kabir exclaimed to a dewy-eyed Ashima when they were kids. “If he made me laugh, would you tell him jokes?” She chuckled. Kabir and Ashima were unlike, but they loved each other. After fifteen years, Ashima said, “The whole concept of love is fake.” She had not confessed her love nor accepted Kabir’s half-hearted proposals. She had seen her parents fall out of love. But can someone really fall out of love? Can love or the expression be half-hearted? Eventually, they united, but this love story had its own challenges.
