Book Description
He is a mysterious old man, a wanderer, a warrior, but most of all, he is the storyteller known only as "Opa". Here, in the days before his tales of the last Triads of Tir na n'Og, he weaves his magic throughout the land with stories of heroes and deeds of valor. His stories bring to life the fabulous land known as Tir na n'Og, the Fey who rule there, and the human champions who do their bidding-willingly and otherwise. But beware: for some, his tales change the way they view their world, their beliefs, their values-and themselves. The Tourney for Don Miguel: The Ranger and Mystic of a broken Triad decide to host a grand tournament in hopes of learning something of their late Cavalier's mysterious past. What could possibly go wrong? Chosen: An aging Cavalier, at the end of his career, his hopes, and his courage, finds he yet has one more role to play, and the most important battle of his life yet to win. A Journey of a Thousand Miles: A young apprentice Mystic sets out for Tir to finish her education at the Mystics' Guild there. But against her will, she finds herself enrolled in a much harsher school, where each lesson means the difference between life and death. Three new stories of sword, sorcery, and adventure from the mysterious master storyteller of Tir na n'Og, suitable for adults and children of all ages.

Book Description
It had come to this: breastfeeding her screaming three-month-old while sitting on the cigarette-scarred floor of a union hall, lying to her husband so she could attend yet another activist meeting, and otherwise actively self-destructing. Then Sonya Huber turned to her long-dead grandfather, the family nobody, for help. Huber s search for meaning and resonance in the life of her grandfather Heina Buschman was unusual insofar as she knew him only through dismissive family stories: He let his wife die of neglect . . . he used his infant son as a decoy when transporting anti-Nazi literature in a baby carriage . . . and so the stories went. What she actually discovered was that, like his granddaughter, Heina Buschman was a committed and beleaguered activist whose story echoed her own. Huber s research not only conjured her grandfather s voice in answer to many of the questions that troubled her but also found in his story a source of personal sustenance for herself. Based on extensive research and documentation, this story of Heina Buschman offers a rare look into the heart of the average socialist trying to survive the Nazis and rebuild a broken world. Alternating with his voice is Huber s own, providing a rich and moving counterpoint that makes this deeply personal exploration of family, politics, and individual responsibility a story for all of us and for all time.
