“There are moments when a story shakes you...Barely Missing Everything is one of those stories, and Mendez, a gifted storyteller with a distinct voice, is sure to bring a quake to the literary landscape.” —Jason Reynolds, New York Times bestselling author of Long Way Down In the tradition of Jason Reynolds and Matt de la Peña, this heartbreaking, no-holds-barred debut novel told from three points of view explores how difficult it is to make it in life when you—your life, brown lives—don’t matter. Juan has plans. He’s going to get out of El Paso, Texas, on a basketball scholarship and make something of himself—or at least find something better than his mom Fabi’s cruddy apartment, her string of loser boyfriends, and a dead dad. Basketball is going to be his ticket out, his ticket up. He just needs to make it happen. His best friend JD has plans, too. He’s going to be a filmmaker one day, like Quentin Tarantino or Guillermo del Toro (NOT Steven Spielberg). He’s got a camera and he’s got passion—what else could he need? Fabi doesn’t have a plan anymore. When you get pregnant at sixteen and have been stuck bartending to make ends meet for the past seventeen years, you realize plans don’t always pan out, and that there are some things you just can’t plan for… Like Juan’s run-in with the police, like a sprained ankle, and a tanking math grade that will likely ruin his chance at a scholarship. Like JD causing the implosion of his family. Like letters from a man named Mando on death row. Like finding out this man could be the father your mother said was dead. Soon Juan and JD are embarking on a Thelma and Louise­—like road trip to visit Mando. Juan will finally meet his dad, JD has a perfect subject for his documentary, and Fabi is desperate to stop them. But, as we already know, there are some things you just can’t plan for…

En lo bueno y en lo malo. Así es como una empresa demuestra su liderazgo y buena gestión frente a la que es flor de un día. Por ello, Jorge Díaz-Cardiel aprovecha su bagaje como experto en el mundo de la gestión y la economía para hacer un homenaje a todas aquellas compañías que han sabido evolucionar y anticiparse a los tiempos difíciles y, como consecuencia, siguen estando en lo más alto. Además, el autor resalta la importancia que tiene el papel de los responsables de Comunicación en la consecución de tan buenos resultados. Éxito con o sin crisis analiza el recorrido de las compañías que cumplen con al menos 25 parámetros empresariales incluidos en su código genético: en los tiempos de bonanza, esos factores son arietes, puntas de lanza que les ayudan a mejorar la cuenta de resultados, distribuir más dividendo a los accionistas o ganar cuota de mercado. Y, en los complicados, todo se hace más llevadero. Las empresas analizadas son: Telefónica, Iberdrola, Danone, Microsoft, HP, Intel, La Caixa, Abertis, El Corte Inglés, Novartis, AC Hoteles, NH, Iberostar, Sol Meliá, Paradores de Turismo, Mapfre, Caser, Sanitas, Seguros Pelayo, Línea Directa Aseguradora, Santander, Indra, Deloitte y PWC.

Aun cuando veas que todo parece estar mal a tu alrededor, sigue adorando, dándole gracias a Dios. Para darle gracias a Dios no hay que, precisamente, sentirlo, simplemente, hay que decirlo. Esto te da entrada a una presencia de agradecimiento. Una vez leí esto en un devocional y lo hice mío, decía en forma de pregunta: "¿adorarías y seguirías a Dios aun si Él no reúne tus expectativas? ¿Continuarías siguiéndole aun cuando te sientes abandonado? ¿Continuarías orando?" Que fuerte. ¿Cuál sería tu respuesta? Estoy segura de que dirás "Si, lo haría" y yo también. Y aunque la realidad es que no es fácil, ya que nuestra carne se opone al espíritu, así como dice Mateo 26, 41: "¡Si se puede!". Nuestra naturaleza humana es nuestro primer contrincante, nos hace la resistencia, pero una vez tú conoces la verdad, sabes que si se puede. Sigues empujando, sabiendo que todo conlleva tiempo. Piensa en esos triunfos que has tenido en la vida, así sean pequeños, como el arreglar la cama en la mañana antes de irte, ¿cuánto tiempo te tomó en lograrlo o poder acostumbrarte? Así mismo practica la oración y la adoración. Créeme, la adoración trae beneficios, tanto para ti como para los tuyos. ¡El tiempo de Dios es Perfecto!

An evocative and unforgettable memoir from award-winning journalist Carlos Frías about his journey to Cuba where he retraces his family's history and encounters the realities of Cuba under Fidel Castro's rule. Carlos Frías, an award-winning journalist and the American-born son of Cuban exiles, grew up hearing about his parents' homeland only in parables. Their Cuba, the one they left behind four decades ago, was ethereal. It existed, for him, only in their anecdotes, and in the family that remained in Cuba—merely ghosts on the other end of a telephone. Until Fidel Castro fell ill. Sent to Cuba by his newspaper as the country began closing to foreign journalists in August 2006, Frías begins the secret journey of a lifetime—twelve days in the land of his parents. That experience led to this evocative, spectacular, and unforgettable memoir. Take Me With You is written through the unique eyes of a first-generation Cuban-American seeing the forbidden country of his ancestry for the first time. Frías provides a fresh view of Cuba, devoid of overt political commentary, focusing instead on the gritty, tangible lives of the people living in Castro's Cuba. Frías takes in the island nation of today and attempts to reconstruct what the past was like for his parents, retracing their footsteps, searching for his roots, and discovering his history. The story creates lasting and unexpected ripples within his family on both sides of the Florida Straits—and on the author himself.
