Read by Zach Hoffman.August 1942. Jacob and Moses Stein, two young Jewish brothers, are staying with their aunt in Paris amid the Nazi occupation. The boys' parents, well-known German playwrights, have left the brothers in their aunt's care until they can find safe harbor for their family. But before the Steins can reunite, a great and terrifying roundup occurs. The French gendarmes, under Nazi order, arrest the boys and take them to the Vélodrome d'Hiver-- a massive, bleak structure in Paris where thousands of France's Jews are being forcibly detained. Jacob and Moses know they must flee in order to survive, but they only have a set of letters sent from the south of France to guide them to their parents. Danger lurks around every corner as the boys, with nothing but each other, trek across the occupied country. Along their remarkable journey, they meet strangers and brave souls who put themselves at risk to protect the children-- some of whom pay the ultimate price for helping these young refugees of war. This inspiring novel, now available for the first time in English, demonstrates the power of family and the endurance of the human spirit-- even through the darkest moments of human history.

The Christmas brides of Twilight / by Wilde, Lori,author.;
She was the one who got away ... Noelle Curry has returned to Twilight to plan the most spectacular double wedding the town has ever seen--and do it on national television. But the woman known as "The Wedding Whisperer" is knocked speechless when she notices her teenage crush, Gil Thomas, is about to plunge into icy cold water wearing nothing more than a pair of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer swim trunks. He is the sexiest guy participating in the annual polar bear plunge and seeing him pushes all thoughts of white lace and rose blossoms right out of her mind. He was the man who decided to stay ... Single dad Gil doesn't regret giving up his dreams of big-city singing stardom for small-town life. But seeing Noelle--who's blossomed from the once-gawky teenager to West Coast beauty--has him thinking of days--and nights--a whole lot hotter than his plunge in the lake. And even though he knows she'll be heading out as soon as her work is finished, he can't help hoping the magic of Christmas in Twilight will get her to change her mind and stay in town--and by his side--forever.
