As a financial crisis looms, Jamal "Jack" Shaban is trying to save his neighbors from bankruptcy. But who is Jack, really? For his flight attendant colleagues, he's an object of desire, even love, particularly for his sweetly bawdy Wisconsinite best friend, Birdy. Birdy knows nothing about Dimra, Jack's traditional Muslim wife, with whom Jack is desperate to have a child. Nor does Dimra know about Jack's attraction to Marcia: an angry single mom new to the building.

The Chaparrals, in deciding to send their son "away" from the toxic small town of Waverly, Indiana, pull him out of a downward spiral and set him on a path that will forever alter his fate.

I cipressi che a Bólgheri alti e schietti Van da San Guido in duplice filar, Quasi in corsa giganti giovinetti Mi balzarono incontro e mi guardâr.

Claros y frescos ríos que mansamente vais siguiendo vuestro natural camino; desiertos montes míos, que en un estado estáis de soledad muy triste de contino; aves, en quien hay tino de descansar cantando...

In caso che tu non parli col tuo pensiero o con persona che tu abbi dentro alla strozza, alza più la voce e scolpisci meglio le parole; che se mi vai borbottando tra’ denti con quella vocina da ragnatelo, io t’intenderò domani, perché l’udito, se non sai, non mi serve meglio che la vista.

Through the Pines by Rickey Ward. Cody is no stranger to silence. A combat veteran living with ghosts, he sets out with his service dog, Copper, for one last float down an Oklahoma river. It is meant to be a quiet trip, just him, the water, and the open sky. But when the raft crashes and they are thrown into the current, everything changes. Waking up on an unfamiliar riverbank, Cody finds himself in a forest unlike any he has ever known. The woods hum with something ancient. Fog clings to the treetops. Time slips sideways.

Un maggio poco assolato. La telefonata giunge mentre Libera è in ufficio: sua madre Luigia è morta. Il ritorno al paese natio non può essere più triste. Dopo il funerale Monica, quasi per caso, ritrova una vecchia scritta incisa nella pietra e così inizia un viaggio nel passato che le svela ciò che sua madre non le ha mai rivelato. Monica mette in ordine i tasselli della vita della nonna e contemporaneamente fa luce su se stessa in un continuo scambio d'identità allo specchio. Luigia, Libera e Monica, tre donne, tre generazioni, tre storie diverse che si appartengono.

In the unforgiving territories of 1840s America, a young Native American woman—ripped from her family, stripped of her name, and haunted by the ghosts of a shattered tribe—embarks on a quest for identity and belonging. Bound to neither tribe nor nation, she rides between the worlds on a horse with powerful medicine. His name is Eyes of Ghost, and he carries her beyond imagining, to a place beyond this world. With determined resilience, she defies the perils of a hostile world, discovering that her true home lies beyond lost bloodlines; perhaps it is beyond life itself.

Quando Cara Romero perde il suo posto in fabbrica a causa della Grande Recessione, ha ormai più di cinquant'anni e deve, una volta ancora, ricominciare tutto daccapo. Costretta alla trafila degli uffici di collocamento, in una torrenziale confessione riversa la storia della sua vita su un'anonima consulente del lavoro: le turbolente vicende sentimentali; la nostalgia per la Repubblica Dominicana da cui è fuggita; le relazioni in un condominio newyorkese assediato dalla gentrificazione; la lotta continua per sopravvivere alle difficoltà economiche e alla burocrazia americana.
