At Heaven's Door
A “brilliant and fascinating” (Eben Alexander, MD, author of Proof of Heaven) exploration—rich with powerful personal stories and convincing research—of the many ways the living can and do accompany the dying on their journey into the afterlife. In 2000, end-of-life therapist William Peters was volunteering at the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco when he had an extraordinary experience as he was reading aloud to a patient: he suddenly felt himself floating midair, completely out of his body. The patient, who was also aloft, looked at him and smiled. The next moment, Peters felt himself return to his body…but his patient never regained consciousness and died. Perplexed and stunn...
Wales Middle School
Sand-filled suburban schoolyards are seemingly one of the safest places for kids growing up. Indeed, that is what the community thought about the playground at Wales Middle School. However, the guidance department, schoolteachers, and administration couldn’t have been more wrong this particular year, as there was a war between two rival factions, the stingies and antistingies—and, to make matters worse, the stingies had taken over the playground. The stingies controlled the slides, monkey bars, and every inch of the yard. The school needed a leader, and someone willing to take a stand. One such preteen is a young J. Peters. He will fight against the bullies and want-to-be tough kids on the playground. He organizes the antistingies and starts down a path that would not just retake the playground, but would lead to student council president. In Wales Middle School: The Rise of J. Peters, school bullies, and teachers without respect for their students get a first-hand taste of their own medicine. J. Peters will stop at nothing to ensure his fellow students are happy, content, and able to play on the swings without fear of harm from others.
Red Conspirator
The author traces Peters's activities from his arrival in the United States to the dawn of the Cold War and his deportation back to Hungary. Known as the "Hungarian man of mystery," Peters emigrated to the United States in 1924 after serving in the Austrian Army during World War I. In America, he oversaw a false passport operation that facilitated the movement of Soviet agents to the United States and American communists to the Soviet Union. Working under a number of aliases, he constructed a complex network of informants and spies that stole numerous State Department documents in the 1930s. After years of hiding underground he was arrested and deported in 1949. The author reveals Peters to be not just the influential leader of conspiratorial Communist activities but also an organizer in the open American Communist party. The author of a handbook on Communism, Peters also set up a program to infiltrate the armed forces in the United States.

Small Fingernails
Sometimes, love finds us; other times, love is a trauma that hurls itself into the very fabric of our lives. My experiences at New England University explain how traumatic events and life’s unfortunate turns can become amplified and overshadow our understanding of how love and friendship should contribute to our lives. The sages say love can blind us; however, sometimes, that love transforms our lives into radically altered states--states in which we must learn how to cope for the relationship to survive and thrive. These altered states are often difficult to manage without help from friends and family. If left to our own devices, without these critical supports, the very creative energy t...
