Join the Random House Reader's Circle for author chats and more. Augusta Edelman--Gus to her friends--is a painter, a wife, and not always the best judge of her own choices--one of them bad enough that she and her husband, Owen, have fled their longtime city home and its reminders of troubling events. Now, three years into their secluded country life, Gus works daily on the marriage she nearly lost, discovers new inspiration for her art, and contemplates the mysteries of a childhood tragedy. But this quiet, healing rhythm is forever shattered one hot July day when a stranger moves into the abandoned house next door and crosses more boundaries than just those between their lands. A fierce, honest, and moving portrait of a woman grappling with her fate, Life Drawing is a debut novel as beautiful and unsparing as the human heart.   Praise for Life Drawing   "The page-turning suspense of Robin Black's novel comes from her beautiful, honest portrait of a marriage, of a life. . . .

[Black] is that rare writer whose gift for prose is matched by her mastery of the other elements that make a great novel. . . . [Her] psychological prowess and incisive observations lend an edge even to seemingly straightforward scenes."--Chicago Tribune   "Races to its resolution . . .

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What a marvelous difference drawing close to the Holy Spirit makes in our lives! Regardless of our past, or the trials afflicting us now, or those we may face in the future, when we draw near to the Holy Spirit, our lives change for the better. Closeness with the Holy Spirit is the "secret" of holiness and happiness. In this short yet penetrating work, Sr. Mary Ann Fatula reflects on how tenderly and powerfully the Holy Spirit offers us the precious gift of intimacy with Himself. Through the graces of our Baptism and Confirmation, the Holy Spirit - the Third Divine Person, who is the Father's and Son's sublime Love for Each Other - gives Himself to us to be our "Beloved," our mighty Healer, our intimate Friend and Consoler, our constant Companion and Strength, our gentle Teacher and Guide. Every page of this exquisite book will speak to your heart. Using the Church's hymns and prayers, you will learn to pray to the Holy Spirit with love and tenderness, entrusting Him with your every concern and inviting Him to possess you and anoint your every breath and every moment of your life. The saints show us how the Holy Spirit truly is our fierce "Protector" who loves us and "fights" powerfully for us. When we are weighed down with problems and worries, when we long for more joy and serenity, the Holy Spirit invites us to draw close to Him and let Him do for us what we cannot do ourselves. It is the Holy Spirit who lifts us up when we are discouraged and fills us with His comfort and peace when we are sad and lonely. The Holy Spirit is the One who deepens our intimacy with the Father and the Son and who gives us a heart full of empathy for others. Drawing Close to the Holy Spirit invites you to taste the sweetness of the Holy Spirit and savor in your own life the wonders He accomplishes in those who draw close to Him. Book jacket.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. From the author of Semi-Sweet comes a delightful novel about the art of friendship, love, and (still) life. When Audrey Matthews offers an evening class in life drawing, all she's looking for is a little extra pocket money and something to fill her Tuesday nights. So she hires a model and recruits five students - each of whom have their own reason for being there. For Zarek, a Polish immigrant, the class is a welcome distraction and a place to escape his dull cafe job and noisy roommate. Then there's the handsome, mysterious James who has moved to the small town of Carrickbawn looking for a new start for himself and his daughter. He's vowed to keep to himself, but then his interest in Jackie, the class model and single mom, takes a more personal turn. While Audrey has just fallen in love -- with the adorable puppy in the window of the local pet shop. Will she be put off by the store's brusque owner or does she find out that his bark is worse than his bite? As the weeks pass, it becomes clear to the members of the drawing class that their fellow students aren't exactly who they seem.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. In this joyous and inventive rereading of the beloved children?s book Harold and the Purple Crayon, the author of How We Change (And Ten Reasons Why We Don?t) celebrates our inherent ?sacred originality? and establishes a new framework for self-reliance.In 1955, Crockett Johnson introduced one of the world?s most beloved and enduring young adventurers, Harold and his purple crayon. Today, we need Harold and his penchant for creative solutions more than ever. In Purple Crayons, Ross Ellenhorn looks to Johnson?s classic for insights and answers that can help us understand our current condition and point the way towards solutions for healing. Purple Crayons tells a story about America then and now, about living one?s life as art; about the powers that block us from doing so, about the pull and perils of conformity; about serious play and too much seriousness, about what it means to feel alive inside and what deadens our existence. It?s also about 1955 in America, all that lay before and?presciently?all that lay ahead, as each of us struggles to draw meaningful and resilient existences on the blank pages?the future yet unlived?of our lives.This delightful, provocative adventure is a gift of kindness and love that encourages us and gives us hope. As he traces Harold?s journey, Ellenhorn offers insights into our ?sacred originality??the idea that each of our unique inner lives are worth nurturing and protecting, and the perseverance, courage, connection, and community necessary to sustain them. Engaging, thoughtful, wise?and illustrated throughout with drawings from the original Harold?Purple Crayons transcends the current divides separating us, reminding us that our fulfillment rests on tapping into what is original about ourselves, finding ways to express our originality, and understanding that doing so is rooted in who we are as Americans.…
