Cuando todo se calme (En el momento perfecto #3)
by Mary CalmesUn libro de historias "En el momento perfecto"La vida previsible de Glenn Holloway terminó el día que le confesó a su familia que era homosexual. Como si eso no fuera suficiente, le echó sal a la herida al alejarse del rancho en el que había crecido para abrir el restaurante con el que siempre había soñado. Sin el apoyo de su padre y su hermano, y demasiado orgulloso para aceptar la ayuda de cualquier otra persona, tuvo que empezar de cero. Con el tiempo, todo salió bien: Glenn estableció con éxito un negocio sólido, creó un nuevo hogar y se forjó una vida de la que podía estar orgulloso. A pesar de su éxito, el distanciamiento de los Holloway sigue siendo una herida que no logra sanar del todo, y una llamada pidiendo ayuda se convierte en la peor pesadilla de Glenn. Atado a una promesa, Glenn vuelve a sus orígenes para lidiar con Rand Holloway y encontrándose cara a cara con Mac Gentry, un hombre demasiado atractivo para el propio bien de Glenn. Todo esto podría conducir al desastre, por la débil reconexión con su familia y por el deseo que no sabía que albergaba en su corazón.

Cuchulain of Muirthemne: The Story of the Men of the Red Branch of Ulster
by Lady GregoryOne of the leading lights of the late-19th-century Irish literary renaissance, the Irish writer, folklorist, and playwright Lady Augusta Gregory was instrumental in collecting and preserving the folklore of her country. She translated these tales of the legendary Cuchulain — an Irish Achilles who was the greatest of ancient Ireland's fabled Knights of the Red Branch — from the original Irish, melding variants of each tale to achieve, enthralling accounts of the great knight's birth and boyhood deeds, superhuman exploits in love and war, and premature death — along with the unforgettable story of the beautiful, overpowering love demonstrated by his wife, Emer. All of these events are recounted in the same plain and simple style Lady Gregory first heard in stories told by her childhood nurse. Of this book by his friend and patroness, W. B. Yeats said, "I think this book is the best that has come out of Ireland in my time. Perhaps I should say that this is the best book that has ever come out of Ireland; for the stories which it tells are a chief part of Ireland's gift to the imagination of the world." Students and scholars of folklore or Celtic mythology will prize this edition for its authentic recounting of the tales and general readers will be delighted both by the imaginative richness of the tales and the beautiful style in which they are told.

by Paul GobleOn the morning of June 25, 1876, a force of 700 men from the 7th US Calvary led by General George Armstrong Custer attacked an Indian encampment on the banks of the Little Big Horn River. Unbeknownst to Custer, he faced the combined might of the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes, led by their greatest chiefs, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Advised by his Indian scouts not to attack, the foolhardy general ignored their warnings and trusted to "Custer's luck" one last time. . .

Presented in the shorter format that Goble originally intended, and combined with a new author's introduction and a foreword by Joe Medicine Crow, the Crow tribal historian whose grandfather was one of Custer's own scouts, readers will marvel at this tale of honor and bravery.
