Book Description
"Annabelle Marco and Michael Contelli are both only children of Italian-Americans. Next door neighbors since they were both five years old, they both receive their parents' constant attention and are regularly subjected to their meddlesome behavior. In high school and then in college, as their relationship moves from friendship to love, Annabelle finds herself battling her parents, his parents, and even Michael. She feels smothered by them all and seeks independence through an unplanned and unexpected decision that she comes to regret and that ultimately alters the course of her life, Michael's life, and the lives of both their parents. Set in Annapolis, Maryland, New York City, and London, England, in the 1980s and 1990s, Beneath the Mimosa Tree examines both Annabelle's and Michael's journeys over the span of ten years as we hear their alternating voices tell the story of self-discoveries, the nature of well-meaning families, and the sense of renewal that can take place when forgiveness is permitted"--Cover.

This is a beautifully written, heartfelt look at the effects of breast cancer and the loss of a loved one to the disease. It's the summer of 1987, and Mira is beginning her first year at university.

But, it's hard for her to get excited about anything when she's being smothered by her crazy Italian family, enrolled in a course she's not interested in, and expecting nuclear warfare at any moment.

Mira's world is about to explode, but it's not the skies she should be checking.

Scars and Stories: Poems
Author: Don Edwards
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1483469131
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Don Edwards grew up in rural southern USA. There, among few distractions, he learned that life can be lived and that love may be found, but both are ultimately taken by the "chronic Tick-Tock" of time. Based on this, he has been trying to clarify his purpose with the help of poetry. Scars and Stories is his first collection and, within its pages, he tackles love and death, since these are all that really matter. His poems show us that love can elevate us above the gravity of everyday life. At the same time, we are reminded that, despite our sense of decision-making power, we live with a mere illusion of control. Of course, ultimately death wins all battles. The clock is constantly ticking but we can offer and accept love and, in doing so, not fear the darkness or the final day.
