This historical tour explores how FDR’s domestic programs helped revitalize a region devastated by natural disasters and the Great Depression. While many people are familiar with the New Deal’s sweeping initiatives, few have a nuanced sense of what this “alphabet soup” of organizations actually did on a local level. In this fascinating book, historian Christopher Epting looks at the various New Deal projects undertaken in Orange County, showing how they met the myriad needs of its struggling communities. Unpredictably harsh elements wreaked havoc in Orange County during the Great Depression. The Long Beach earthquake of 1933 and the 1938 Santa Ana River flood took numerous lives, decimated buildings and destroyed much of the county's namesake citrus industry. In response, Orange County received federal public aid through the Works Progress Administration, Civilian Conservation Corps and other agencies. Epting reveals their efforts in this tour of the buildings, bridges, harbors, trails, libraries, highways and other infrastructure gains—many still in use—that were revitalized by President Roosevelt’s New Deal.

On December 26, Boxing Day, Sonali Deraniyagala, her English husband, her parents, her two young sons, and a close friend were ending Christmas vacation at the seaside resort of Yala on the south coast of Sri Lanka when a wave suddenly overtook them. She was only to learn later that this was a tsunami that devastated coastlines through Southeast Asia. When the water began to encroach closer to their hotel, they began to run, but in an instant, water engulfed them, Sonali was separated from her family, and all was lost. Sonali Deraniyagala has written an extraordinarily honest, utterly engrossing account of the surreal tragedy of a devastating event that all at once ended her life as she knew it and her journey since in search of understanding and redemption. It is also a remarkable portrait of a young family's life and what came before, with all the small moments and larger dreams that suddenly and irrevocably ended.

In a realm where a domineering priest once controlled his every move, Prince Karpenmor now stands free, ready to redefine his purpose and identity. As he assumes control of his nation, he's compelled to confront the shadows of his past. His quest for knowledge leads him to a discovery about a lost city and an unexpected desire for revenge. Unrestrained and desperate to know more about his mother, Karpenmor closes in on the deceptions his Regent has maintained for decades, unwittingly threatening his own position. On Dhartan the Jesters are confronted with changes that force radical action from Mother Folly as they try to keep pace. While Lani’s unique skills offer them assistance, a selfish decision by Odajeen puts everything at risk. More amulets break free from the fragile barrier, causing friction amongst realms and emboldening their enemy. Limited in number, the members of the court must become more than entertainers and hidden spies. Now hunting the objects that threaten the source of their power, each of them must bring their unique capabilities to the fore in order to avoid the deadly danger confronting them. In the wake of this shift, even The Eyes can no longer afford to stay hidden on their island, forcing them to send forth more of their kind into the world.
