So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life - until the unthinkable happens.]]> 2022-09-25 03:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/helenstemp/booksatthelibrary/wish/2311960338 helenstemp https://padlet.com/helenstemp/booksatthelibrary/wish/2311963693 [Link to Library eBook]]]> 2022-09-25 03:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/helenstemp/booksatthelibrary/wish/2311963693 helenstemp https://padlet.com/helenstemp/booksatthelibrary/wish/2311963833 Eddie Jaku always considered himself a German first, a Jew second. He was proud of his country. But all of that changed in November 1938, when he was beaten, arrested and taken to a concentration camp.

Over the next seven years, Eddie faced unimaginable horrors every day, first in Buchenwald, then in Auschwitz, then on a Nazi death march. He lost family, friends, his country.

Because he survived, Eddie made the vow to smile every day. He pays tribute to those who were lost by telling his story, sharing his wisdom and living his best possible life. He now believes he is the 'happiest man on earth'.

Published as Eddie turns 100, this is a powerful, heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful memoir of how happiness can be found even in the darkest of times.]]> 2022-09-25 03:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/helenstemp/booksatthelibrary/wish/2311963833 helenstemp https://padlet.com/helenstemp/booksatthelibrary/wish/2311964573 [Link to Library eBook]]]> 2022-09-25 03:40:46 UTC https://padlet.com/helenstemp/booksatthelibrary/wish/2311964573 helenstemp https://padlet.com/helenstemp/booksatthelibrary/wish/2311964695 Greece in the age of heroes.
