    In this novel, Terence Clarke dramatically intermingles the story of Nobel-Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda's escape from Chile in 1949 with events from Neruda's life, both before and after the Communist poet crossed the Andes to reach safety in Argentina. Clarke gives full credit to the men and animals who helped turn a dilettante into a mountain man. The chapters about Neruda's wife, Delia, twenty years his senior, sympathetically trace a woman who never loses faith that her man will return to her.

    For Pearse, an Irish-Catholic kid during the 1950s in San Francisco's North Beach, growing up is not an easy task. He serves morning mass at Saints Peter and Paul church, takes Sunday "tours" with his grandfather M.J. to Blum's Cafe for lemon-crunch cake, swims at the local Crystal Plunge..... But when tragedy hits the family, Pearse starts to doubt all he has accepted, including his religious upbringing. Outside the church doors he discovers a new, fascinating life: that of the beatniks, full of spontaneity and abandon. He is drawn especially to the unruly crowd in the Caffe Trieste, where he samples bitter espresso and listens to revolutionary poetry — all against his parents' orders.

Cobbs, who co-wrote Black Rage, writes: "This book shows Kranz's courage, and that of his students, as pioneers and meticulous architects in the development and implementation of an authentic conversation about race.

    During a stay in Paris in 1957, an American girl Clara Foy learns that her mother Lauren had an illegitimate child when she was a teenager living in California. The little girl was immediately given up for adoption. For Lauren and her family, this was a scandalous event that has been kept a guarded secret until the present moment, when the lost little girl comes onto the scene, now a young Parisian woman named Emma Dusel. Her identity fills Clara with complicated expectations, especially when she learns that Emma’s resentment of Lauren and the abandonment she represents has almost destroyed Emma's life. With the aid of Emma’s birth father, an Irish painter now living in Paris named Jack Roman (with whom Lauren has fallen in love once more despite the deep threat that that brings to her own marriage and family), Clara attempts to bring about a reconciliation between her new sister and her mother. The effort puts Clara’s own relationship with her mother in jeopardy, the woman Clara loves more than anyone else.
