Book Description
If you see a cup with water in it, do you see the cup as half empty, or half full? I had often thought about travelling overseas yet deep down, the thought of it really scared me. For many years I lived a normal life, I had a steady job, a roof over my head and lived a luxurious life, but the fear of stepping out to fulfil my dreams plagued my mind for years, that is, until one day when a time of change came.I never really thought that such small things can change your life so much, but it was the smallest thing that opened up a new door for me. It was only a small interaction, but through this catalyst, a new path had begun which led me half way around the world to the land of Egypt. Through this book, we take a unique journey into the mind as we discover a dream fulfilled. Take a journey with me through Egypt as we get lost in the backstreets, climb Mount Sinai, exploring ancient ruins and pyramids, delve into other perspectives and come face to face with a serious element of danger.

Book Description
In the 60's, my small world seemingly began to disintegrate. Customs and traditions of family life and other aspects of human existence were drastically changing. Our children no longer had the security and optimism that the older generation had known. By the 80's, my contemporaries knew that we would never recapture the magical moments with which we grew up. However, storytelling in the Deep South was alive and well, and acquaintances encouraged me to write down some of the many experiences of daily living that I talked about. That encouragement led to a weekly column in several newspapers, and I called it "From over the Hill." Recently, friends and followers of my articles advised me to put together a book of some favorites written during that time. Most of the stories are very similar to today's happenings-we are still in the 80's mode. Perhaps we can live a little, love a lot, and laugh together as we momentarily forget 9/11 and go back into time.

Book Description
An in-depth biography of Sir Thomas Lipton, the founder of Lipton Tea-a portrait of a remarkable self-made man and intrepid sailor. Today Lipton means tea. However, in his time Sir Thomas Lipton was known for much more. Raised in desperate poverty, he became rich beyond his wildest dreams. He built a global empire of markets, factories, plantations, and stockyards. And his colorful pursuit of the America's Cup trophy made him a beloved figure on both sides of the Atlantic. In A Full Cup, Michael D'Antonio tells the tale of this larger- than-life figure. Beginning with a journey across the United States just after the Civil War, Thomas J. Lipton developed the ambition and learned the business techniques that helped him create the first chain of grocery stores. Wealthy before the age of thirty, he set his sights on the tea trade, and soon his name became synonymous with his product. Lipton's great business success makes for a compelling story of innovation and achievement. Moreover, though, Lipton's most intriguing creation was a public persona-one of the first formed with the help of a modern mass media-that appealed to millions of ordinary people, as well as the elites in America and Europe. Concocting simple stunts like elephant parades, Lipton mastered the new art of obtaining free publicity. With shameless self-promotion, he became one of the world's most eligible bachelors, a patron of the poor, and ultimately reached legendary heights when he revived the competition for the America's Cup. With one losing attempt after another, the gallant Lipton, who didn't even know how to sail his own yacht, became ever more popular. D'Antonio's biography brings to vivid life this remarkable figure.

Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins comes another "mesmerizing fusion of the mystical and the everyday" (Susan Andersen, New York Times bestselling author) in her Dove Pond series--and this time Ava's famous tea leaves spell trouble ahead. Ava Dove--the sixth of seven daughters of the famed Dove family, and owner of Ava's Landscaping and Specialty Gourmet Tea--is frantic. Just as she is getting ready to open her fabulous new tearoom, her herbal teas have gone wonky. Suddenly, the tea that is supposed to help people sleep is startling them awake with vivid dreams; the tea that infuses romance back into tired marriages is causing people to blurt out their darkest secrets; and the tea that helps people find happiness is making them spend hours staring into mirrors. Meanwhile, living four doors down the road from Ava, sixteen-year-old Kristen Foster's life has just crashed down around her. After her mother's death, Kristen's grandmother Ellen has arrived in town to sweep Kristen off to a white mansion on a hill in distant Raleigh. But Kristen has had enough 'life changes' and is desperate to stay with her friends in her beloved hometown of Dove Pond. But to do so means Kristen must undertake a quest she's been avoiding her entire life--finding her never-been-there-for-her father. With the help of an ancient herbal remedy book found in her attic by her sister, Ava realizes that Kristen holds the key to fixing her unstable tea leaves. So Ava throws herself into Kristen's search, even convincing Kristen's grandmother Ellen to help, too. Together, the three embark on a reluctant but magical journey of healing, friendship, and family that will delight fans of Alice Hoffman, Kate Morton, and Sarah Addison Allen.
