How is it possible to be surrounded by people who love me, yet I still feel alone? Everyone is falling in love, and it's like I've been left on the outside. I want that for myself, but the thought of putting myself out there is terrifying. Growing up being told you're "too much" puts a dent in your confidence, no matter how hard you try to hide it. Until one day, Lieutenant Hunter Bowen finds me trapped in an elevator. His kind words and gentle smile only heighten the crush I have on him, and when he asks me to join him one night, I push my fears aside and say yes.

Mary Jane Oliver (September 10, 1935-January 17, 2019), from Maple Heights, OH, was an American poet who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and the National Book Award in 1992.

Awakenings - which inspired the major motion picture - is the remarkable story of a group of patients who contracted sleeping sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I. Frozen for decades in a trance-like state, these men and women were given up as hopeless until 1969, when Dr. Oliver Sacks gave them the then-new drug L-DOPA, which had an astonishing, explosive, "awakening" effect. Dr. Sacks recounts the moving case histories of his patients, their lives, and their extraordinary transformations.

Here, for the first time, Niccolò Polo, father of Marco, shares Altaïr's remarkable story: his ongoing battle with the Templar conspiracy; a family life that is as tragic as it is shocking; the betrayal of an old friend; and a journey that will ultimately change the course of history.
