Published by K.O. Publishers, a subsidiary of

As one reviewer wrote: It gave me the shivers, "To many of our nation's young people and their families will find their lives reflected in the painful challenges written about in this book. The promise in the creative approaches offered for resolution will empower them."
The Mysterious Unraveling of Paulette's World by Angela Wright Available at Amazon.com
("The bitter cold night her parents run off leaving her with enough food to last a week, Paulette cries and wonders why they would leave her.'" With that we enter into Paulette's mysterious world. She will lose herself with enthusiasm into the arms of caring friends and adults, yet we find ourselves full of foreboding as she enters into places that are often too enticing to be good for her. Instead they are realms of danger into themselves. Paulette can see much into her own life but not enough to make things right. The Mysterious Unraveling of Paulette's World is an adventure into her world and her struggle to plum its mysteries while the real world of loss is holding her in the grip of its shadowy embrace. Yet Paulette is resilient and we have faith she will never truly be lost.)
Get it Straight: The Purpose of Life. “Life’s Secret and How to Achieve It”
by Edward Faria
Published by K.O. Publishers, a subsidiary of
Multicultural International Development Corporation (MIDC, LLC)
(A father migrates from India and gives his account of his incredible journey of moving his family here. He then tries to fathom why it ended in the unexpected and inexplicable death of his son)
(From the intro: "The 25th hour is a reminder what’s truly important in life, as in “I liberate myself by enjoying life at the present moment.” And although it’s clear that Chris is in time, doing time, and very conscious of time, in his valuing the present as a precious gift, his reflections suggest that he is thinking about his life in a perspective that is beyond time. The 25th hour is about facing an unknown future. It’s also about true surrender and is an homage to God; as such it evokes the spirit of the book.”)
