Fifteen-year-old Mari Pujols believes that the baby she's carrying will finally mean she' ll have a family member who will love her deeply and won't ever leave her—not like her mama, who took off when she was eight; or her papi, who's in jail; or her abuela, who wants as little to do with her as possible. But when doctors discover a potentially fatal heart defect in the fetus, Mari faces choices she never could have imagined. Surrounded by her loyal girl crew, her off-and-on boyfriend, and a dedicated doctor, Mari navigates a decision that could emotionally cripple the bravest of women. But both Mari and the broken-hearted baby inside her are fighters; and it doesn't take long to discover that this sick baby has the strength to heal an entire family. Inspired by true events, this gorgeous debut has been called “heartfelt, heartbreaking and—yes!—even a little heart-healing, too by bestselling YA novelist Carolyn Mackler.

Sergeant Lamb's America
The first in a two-book series, Sergeant Lamb's America tells the story Sergeant Roger Lamb, an Irish soldier who served on the British side during the American War of Independence. Based on real historical events and people, Sergeant Lamb recounts the British defeat and the capture of his unit at the Battle of Saratoga in a voice that's both funny, insightful, and wise.This fictionalized account is based on the journals of the historical Sergeant Roger Lamb, and is largely faithful to the true eyewitness account of the American Revolution told from the loser's perspective. With his engaging, personable voice and basic decency of character, Sergeant Lamb reminds us that regardless of how history casts the British side, there were good men on both sides of this important conflict.

做事的抉择（优秀人才成长方案）
在人生奋斗中，不慎跌倒并不表示永远的失败，唯有跌倒后，失去了奋斗的勇气才是永远的失败。我们若以平常心观之，失败本身也就不足为奇。一个人若没有经历过失败，他就难以尝到人生的辛酸和苦涩，难以认识到生命的底蕴，也就不可能进入真正宁静祥和的境界。其实，通向成功的路绝不只是一条，不同的人可以选择不同的路，成功与否，往往不在于对道路的选择，而在于一旦选定了自己的路，便不再彷徨。所以，能否到达心中的目标，首先取决于对脚下道路的信任。
