She heard a voice seemingly coming from far away. Was it talking to her? What did it want? No! She couldn't do this again! She couldn't face feelings! She couldn't face the pain of reality. It hurt too much. The distant voice was asking too much! She flailed at the on-lookers, wobbled to her feet and desperately made her way out the door.

Under the light of the full moon, Capable and her best friend Bucket set off for high adventures. Overcoming obstacle after obstacle, the two climb to the top of Eagle's Point, where Capable is convinced she will find her beloved butterfly, Violet.

Alright, listen up, folks. Let me spin you a yarn, a love story that will melt your butter and have you cheering for these star-crossed sweethearts like they're at the Olympics. Now, imagine Paris, see? Sun setting like a fiery tango dancer, painting the sky in shades of orange and longing. There's this girl, Chloé, eyes like sapphires and a spirit as sharp as a well-honed blade. In her hand, a crumpled letter, whispering promises turned to dust, signed with the very name that sends shivers down her spine – Benjamin. Distance, they thought, would be a whisper between their hearts. More like a chasm, right? Letters, supposed to be bridges, turned into tombstones of silence. The meadows they shared, filled with laughter and sun, now echoed with an emptiness that gnawed at her soul. But Chloé, she ain't built for wilting. That glint in her eyes, that's not tears, that's defiance. This ain't over, not by a long shot. This is just a tangled knot in their tapestry, waiting to be unraveled. Meanwhile, across the salty ocean, under a sky that's more green than blue, Benjamin wrestles with his own demons. His letters, once lifelines, are swallowed by the void, unanswered, unloved. His heart, a field where their love once bloomed, feels fallow now, haunted by phantoms of betrayal. But just like the stubborn weeds that push through concrete, hope refuses to die. He sees Chloé everywhere, not in the missing letters, but in the sunlight dappling leaves, in the rain singing on his windowpane. Her spirit, a whisper woven into his very being, won't be silenced. So, you see, their story, even though it's stretched thin by miles and deceit, it's still playing out in harmony. Chloé, in the concrete jungle, unravels the threads of lies, her love a compass guiding her in the dark. Benjamin, under the sun, cultivates his dreams, his success a silent serenade to the love that still burns bright within him.

Angels, ghosts and haunting dreams of the past intertwine their family's lives as they deal with their yesterdays and search for new tomorrows.

The New York Times–bestselling author’s classic guide to astrology: “What makes Sun Signs different is that much of the writing is done with humor” (The Boston Globe). Before 1968, astrology as we know it had a very limited following in the United States and around the world. The publication of Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs changed that forever. Newspapers began running astrology columns, and soon, an increasing number of people knew their sign (as well as yours) and began to study astrological tendencies. Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs quickly established itself as the worldwide introductory bible to astrology for beginner and expert alike. The book’s simple organizational technique made it easy for everyone to follow and understand themselves and others, sign-by-sign. This updated edition of the groundbreaking classic is an enjoyable way to discover the world of astrology today.
