“The Eye of Zeus: Legends of Olympus, Book One” by Alane Adams
Meet Phoebe Katz, a twelve-year-old foster kid from NYC. Things happen around Phoebe, but it’s not like they’re her fault. But when a statue of Athena comes to life, Phoebe gets the stunning news she’s the daughter of Zeus, has a twin brother named Perseus and was sent away from ancient Greece as a baby to stop a terrible prophecy that predicted she would one day destroy Olympus.
Athena warns Phoebe to stay in hiding, but when the vengeful god Ares kidnaps her beloved social worker, Phoebe has no choice but to rescue him. The catch: Phoebe has to collect talismans from six Greek monsters. No problem, right? From SparkPress, purchase at https://amzn.to/2qwz56i.
“Queen of the Owls” by Barbara Linn Probst
A chance meeting with a charismatic photographer will forever change Elizabeth’s life. Until she met Richard, Elizabeth’s relationship with Georgia O’Keeffe and her little-known Hawaii paintings was academic. But now Richard says the only way she can truly understand O’Keeffe is by getting into O’Keeffe’s skin and reenacting her famous nude photos.
In the intimacy of Richard’s studio, Elizabeth experiences an intoxicating abandon, never thinking the photographs could be made public. Elizabeth demands that Richard dismantle the exhibit. He refuses.
So how much is she willing to risk to be truly seen and known? From She Writes Press, purchase at https://amzn.to/2uRiYBV.
“Quest for Eternal Sunshine” by Mendek Rubin and Myra Goodman
This is the triumphant story of Mendek Rubin, a brilliant inventor who overcame the trauma of the Holocaust and decades of depression to live a life of deep peace. Mendek grew up in a Hassidic Jewish family in Poland amid extreme anti-Semitism. He survived three horrific years in Nazi concentration camps while virtually his entire family was murdered.
Arriving in America in 1946, his inventions helped revolutionize the jewelry and packaged-salad industries. Mendek also applied his ingenuity to his own psyche, developing ways to heal his heart and emotional suffering. After Mendek died in 2012, his daughter, Myra Goodman, found an unfinished manuscript in which he’d revealed the details of his healing journey. This book is that story.
