Letters to Angela provides an intimate glimpse at author Phillip Reisner's love for his two daughters, Angela and Kaitlyn. Through a series of emotional letters and honest poetry, Reisner shares the wonderful memories they have shared and the sad, sometimes hurtful events that changed their lives forever. The letters cover a span of nearly eighteen years of Angela's life, including the untimely death of her twin, Kaitlyn, at the age of three and a half. Reisner writes candidly about his relationship with his wife, daughters, mother, and extended family. The letters were written during several months of soul searching and emotional venting in hope of finding truth in his relationships. Reflecting on spiritual and earthly forces that affect his life, beliefs, and relationships, Reisner's letters are separated by poems, offering windows into the emotions that the author confronts as he explores his innermost thoughts and feelings regarding the events of the lives of those around him. From the joy of the birth of his twin daughters to the delightful discoveries of their early years to the hope that he and Angela can rebuild their relationship through love and forgiveness, Letters to Angela attests to the unconditional love of a father for his daughter.

Today, we know US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel as two of the world's most influential leaders, together at the center of some of the biggest stories of our time. But while their friendship has been the subject of both scrutiny and admiration, few know the full story. Taking office at the height of the 2008 global recession, Obama was keenly aware of the fractured relationship between the US and Europe. And for her part, Merkel was suspicious of the charismatic newcomer who had captivated her country. The two often clashed over policy, but--as the first Black president and first female chancellor--they shared a belief that democracy could uplift the world. Dear Barack is a thoroughly researched document of the parallel trajectories that led to Obama and Merkel meeting on the world stage. At times in the leaders' own words, the book examines the challenges of globalization and demonstrates the highs and lows of this extraordinary alliance.?A story of camaraderie at a global scale, Dear Barack shows that it is possible for political adversaries to establish bonds of respect--and even friendship--in the service of the free world.

Unloved by her mother, adored by her father, 16-year-old Angela Pollak, a fiery Austrian beauty was betrothed, by her parents, to a man she detested. Soon after the wedding, her husband, Hans, migrated to New York and two years later sent for Angela. Shortly after her arrival, Angela noticed her once handsome husband had abusive, drinking problems and was also seeing another woman. A year later, in 1905, their daughter was born and matters got worse with Hans. The couple soon separated—he wanted a new life with his married paramour and Angela was left to raise her beloved Julia in a strange country. Several years later, unforeseen circumstances forced Angela to send the child to Groissenbrunn to be raised by her parents. Rudy enters her life in 1911 and she finds true happiness for the rest of her days. This novel follows Angela’s life to the end. Her successes in New York City were many, especially pioneering Antique Row on Third Avenue more than 70 years ago. Distant Moments—Angela’s Story is filled with drama, excitement, love, disappointments and a feel of what it was like to be an immigrant so long ago.
