The Little Liar
by Mitch AlbomBeloved bestselling author Mitch Albom returns with a powerful novel that moves from a coastal Greek city during WWII, to America, where the intertwined lives of three survivors are forever changed by the perils of deception and the grace of redemption. <p><p> Eleven-year-old Nico Krispis never told a lie. When the Nazi’s invade his home in Salonika, Greece, the trustworthy boy is discovered by a German officer, who offers him a chance to save his family. All Nico has to do is convince his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading to “new homes” where they are promised jobs and safety. Unaware that this is all a cruel ruse, the innocent boy goes to the station platform every day and reassures the passengers that the journey is safe. But when the final train is at the station, Nico sees his family being loaded into a large boxcar crowded with other neighbors. Only after it is too late does Nico discover that he helped send the people he loved—and all the others—to their doom at Auschwitz. <p><p> Nico never tells the truth again. <p><p> In The Little Liar, his first novel set during the Holocaust, Mitch Albom interweaves the stories of Nico, his brother Sebastian, and their schoolmate Fanni, who miraculously survive the death camps and spend years searching for Nico, who has become a pathological liar, and the Nazi officer who radically changed their lives. As the decades pass, Albom reveals the consequences of what they said, did, and endured. <p><p> A moving parable that explores honesty, survival, revenge and devotion, The Little Liar is Mitch Albom at his very best. Narrated by the voice of Truth itself, it is a timeless story about the harm we inflict with our deceits, and the power of love to ultimately redeem us. <p> <b>New York Times Bestseller</b>
The Little Locksmith: A Memoir
by Katharine Butler HathawayFirst published in 1942 and reprinted here by the Feminist Press, this is the deeply honest memoir of Katharine Butler, who was disabled from childhood due to tuberculosis of the spine. Butler describes her bedridden childhood and her emergence as a teenager with a notably different-looking body. She writes openly of her longing for sexual love and her sense that it was forever denied to her because of her difference. Much of the book concerns the author's renovation of and hopes for a house in Castine on the coast of Maine, which she dreamed would become a house for children, artists, and lovers. Nancy Mairs' afterword provides fascinating information about the author's life.
The Little Midrash Says, Volume 1: The Book of Beraishis
by R. WeissmanBy reading "The Little Midrash Says" you will find out how wonderful it is to learn Torah. The Book of Beraishis begins by telling us about the creation of the world by Hashem. Then it mainly deals with Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, and their wives and children. The Torah tells us so much about them, because they were the founders of our people, the Jewish people. They were wonderful tzaddikim (righteous people), who served Hashem every day, every hour, and every minute of their lives.
The Little Midrash Says, Volume 2: The Book of Sh'mos
by R. WeissmanSh'mos--the second of the five Books of the Torah--continues the story begun in the Book of Beraishis. You will not find all the answers to the parsiia-quizzes in the text of "The little Midrash Says." To answer some questions you must know the pesukim (verses) of the parsha. If you are not able to study the pesukim by yourself, perhaps you can ask an older brother or sister or a parent to find the right passuk and help you.
The Little Midrash Says, Volume 3: The Book of Vayikra
by R. WeissmanThe Book of Vayikra is different from the first two Books of the Torah, Beraishis and Sh'mos. It mostly discusses laws about the Mishkan and Bais Hamikdash. Therefore, do you think that it is not important to learn this Book of the Torah? The contrary is true; it is most important for all of you to know it.
The Little Midrash Says, Volume 4: The Book of Bamidbar
by R. WeissmanThe word "Bamidbar" means "in the desert." This is a suitable title for the fourth Book of the Torah that tells us what happened to Bnai Yisrael in the desert.
The Little Midrash Says, Volume 5: The Book of Devarim
by R. WeissmanDevarim: In this Book, Moshe instructs Bnai Yisrael: Believe that Hashem is the one and only God! Fear Him! Love Him! Listen to His prophets! Don't listen to false prophets! Do not lose faith, even if Hashem brings suffering on you!
The Little Money Bible: The Ten Laws Of Abundance
by Stuart Wilde"It’s hard to align with money if you think that it is evil and nasty. But once you come to an understanding that money is neutral, it’s easy to see that having money does not necessarily deprive somebody else. There’s no reason why you can’t be very rich and still be an extremely spiritual and wonderfully generous person—aligned to the God Force—with a huge heart, and compassion for everyone you meet." — Stuart Wilde

The Little Virtues: Essays
by Natalia Ginzburg Belle BoggsIn this collection of her finest and best-known short essays, Natalia Ginzburg explores both the mundane details and inescapable catastrophes of personal life with the grace and wit that have assured her rightful place in the pantheon of classic mid-century authors. Whether she writes of the loss of a friend, Cesare Pavese; or what is inexpugnable of World War II; or the Abruzzi, where she and her first husband lived in forced residence under Fascist rule; or the importance of silence in our society; or her vocation as a writer; or even a pair of worn-out shoes, Ginzburg brings to her reflections the wisdom of a survivor and the spare, wry, and poetically resonant style her readers have come to recognize. "A glowing light of modern Italian literature . . . Ginzburg's magic is the utter simplicity of her prose, suddenly illuminated by one word that makes a lightning streak of a plain phrase. . . . As direct and clean as if it were carved in stone, it yet speaks thoughts of the heart.' — The New York Times Book Review

The Little Zen Companion
by David SchillerWhile it seeks neither to define Zen nor answer its most famous koan (a riddle unanswerable by conventional thinking, in this case the sound of one hand clapping), this bestselling little book with 437,000 copies in print possesses a maverick Zen spirit that points to a different way of looking at the world.With each page featuring a quote, phrase, story, koan, haiku, or poem, Zen Companion combines the feeling and format of a meditation book with 2,500 years of wisdom-from Lao-tzu and Groucho Marx, William Carlos Williams and The Little Prince, D. T. Suzuki and Walker Percy, the Buddha and the Bible, Einstein and Gertrude Stein. It's a celebration of intuition: "If a man wishes to be sure of the road he treads on, he must close his eyes and walk in the dark"-St. John the Cross. Individuality: "Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought."-Basho. Uncomplicated nature: "Among twenty snowy mountains/The only moving thing/Was the eye of the blackbird."-Wallace Stevens. Childlike spontaneity: "Goodnight stars. Goodnight air."-Margaret Wise Brown. Irreverent paradox: "Wakuan complained when he saw a picture of bearded Bodhidharma: 'Why hasn't that fellow a beard?'" And above all, the simple pleasure of life lived in the moment. "Chop wood, carry water."
