Ein Buch, über die Dunkelheit in der Welt und all die Schatten die über uns liegen. Doch trotz allem Leid bleibt immer ein Funken Hoffnung. In den Kurzgeschichten geht es um Trauer und Leid, aber auch darum, in den Dunkelsten Zeiten nicht die Hoffnung zu verlieren.

In einer düsteren Welt sucht Leon Ausweg. Zwischen Dystopie und Verzweiflung greift er nach der Spritze. Doch was erwartet ihn jenseits des Abgrunds?

Kyle Hamilton is the quintessential bad boy, but Val Jensen is not your typical good girl. When Val gets dumped for her decision to stay a virgin until marriage, the nasty breakup goes viral on YouTube, making her the latest internet sensation. After days of ridicule from her peers, Val starts a school-wide campaign to rally support for her cause. She meant to make a statement, but she never dreamed the entire nation would get caught up in the controversy. As if becoming nationally recognized as "Virgin Val" isn't enough, Val's already hectic life starts to spin wildly out of control when bad boy Kyle Hamilton, lead singer for the hit rock band Tralse, decides to take her abstinence as a personal challenge. How can a girl stay true to herself when this year's Sexiest Man Alive is doing everything in his power to win her over?

In dieser Spirale aus Verantwortlichkeiten und Verpflichtungen frage ich mich, ob wir nicht Gefangene unserer eigenen Schöpfungen sind. Diese Pflichten, die uns wie unsichtbare Fesseln binden, scheinen den Raum für die wahren Freuden des Lebens zu erdrücken. Die Zeit verfliegt in einem endlosen Strom von Terminen und Anforderungen, während die Sehnsucht nach einem Moment des Innehaltens und Genießens unaufhörlich in mir wächst.

Das Wichtigste im Leben bist Du. Deshalb bedarf es nicht viele Worte,denn das Buch leitet dich zum richtigen Weg zu dir selbst. Nichts im Leben bleibt für immer. Genieße jeden Moment und sammle Errinerungen,die für immer in deinem Herzen bleiben.

New view of Remarque's novels as a chronicle of the century yet more than a mere reflection of historical events.

Six-time Grammy Award-winning musician Kyle Hamilton has it all--money, fame, talent, good looks, and a job he loves. His only regret in life: walking away from a certain notorious virgin because he was too prideful, stubborn, and even afraid to give her the only thing she asked of him--his abstinence.Four years and a broken heart later, Kyle realizes that sex isn't everything, and he suddenly can't stop thinking about the girl that got away. Virgin Val Jensen got under his skin like no one else ever has. He wasn't ready for her then, but things are different now. He's grown up, he's learned a few things, and he's finally figured out exactly what he wants, or, rather, who he wants.Kyle Hamilton wants a do-over, and this time he's willing to do--or not do--whatever it takes.
