Callie is very proud of her brother Charlie. He's good at so many
things -- swimming, playing the piano, running fast. And Charlie
has a special way with animals, especially their dog, Harriett.
But sometimes Charlie gets very quiet.
His words get locked inside him, and he seems far away.
Then, when Callie and Charlie start to play, Charlie is back to
laughing, holding hands, having fun.
Charlie is like any other boy - and he has autism.
In this story, told from a sister's point of view, we meet a

togetherness, hope, tolerance, and love.
Holly Robinson Peete, bestselling author, actress, and national
autism spokesperson, has paired with her daughter, Ryan, to

autism.

George and April each have a past-a bad past. Haunted by childhoods

unsettling memories which keep influencing the present. Slowly they
begin to take steps to change their destiny, but will they be brave
enough to change themselves?
Jordan O'Malley has everything she ever wanted: a job she loves, a
beautiful home, and a dependable boyfriend. When her life unravels
after a breast cancer scare, Jordan decides to join her wildest
childhood friend in San Francisco and track down her drifter
brother, Cam, who harbors secrets of his own. When Cam suddenly
flees the country, Jordan follows, determined to bring him home.
Her journey takes her to the farthest reaches of majestic Nepal,
where she encounters tests-and truths-about love and family that
she never could have imagined. Funny, heartbreaking, and
suspenseful, Sleeping Tigers reminds us all that sometimes it's
better to follow your heart instead of a plan. "Sleeping Tigers is
the kind of book you wish didn't have to end. Fast-moving and
funny, loaded with sex, adventure, and characters who feel like
your oldest friends, it takes the reader through fabulous,
keenly-observed settings as it follows one woman on a brave journey
of self-discovery. Robinson's prose crackles with wit and humanity
- it brims with all the energy that's released when life and love
are unleashed and allowed to roam. With wisdom to spare, Robinson
shows how being honest and brave today can bring healing to the
past and a new shape to the future. You won't be able to read this
book without imagining all your favorite actors in the roles."

"Your brother should know the truth."
These are the last cryptic words that Ava Barrett's father says
before he dies. But Ava doesn't have a brother, as far as she
knows, so how can she tell him the truth? She dismisses the
conversation and dedicates herself to bringing her family together
for her father's funeral. This is no easy task, since her sister,
Elaine, has been estranged from the family and still harbors
resentment against their stepmother and half-sister, Gigi. Ava, on
the other hand, is a single mother who sees Gigi as a troubled teen
in need of love and connection.
Ava, too, could use more love in her life and finds it where she
least expects it. But the biggest surprise of all is that Gigi
holds the key to the mystery surrounding her father's dying words,
and joins Ava in uncovering a secret that rapidly unravels the very
fabric of their entire family...
