Memories Moments and Milestones


Book Description

Our mother, Sarada, has been writing poetry for decades. Sometimes at her desk, sometimes while stuck in a traffic jam, pretty much anywhere inspiration strikes. So, there was a lot of material to choose from. This book represents some of this writing. Left out are pieces that are either too personal or obscure in their references and context to make sense to anyone other than the person or persons they were written for or about. However, some of the writing while deeply personal, reflecting moments of pain, poignancy and joy in her life, still carry emotions that are universally experienced. We’ve left these in for this very reason. As we read, shortlisted and compiled her output for this collection, we wondered if our mother may have had a different career...with different life experiences... had she chosen a different path in life. Perhaps that of a writer. Yet the path she chose – that of the Teacher – brought her rich experiences from Malaya (as it was then known) to the United Kingdom and eventually Singapore. She had an illustrious teaching career. Old school. Strict. It served her well, and more importantly, it served generations of students. That she has a gift for the written word is clear. It made her a remarkable teacher of the English Language.




The Power of Moments


Book Description

The New York Times bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick explore why certain brief experiences can jolt us and elevate us and change us—and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work. While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children? This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why “we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” And why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth. Readers discover how brief experiences can change lives, such as the experiment in which two strangers meet in a room, and forty-five minutes later, they leave as best friends. (What happens in that time?) Or the tale of the world’s youngest female billionaire, who credits her resilience to something her father asked the family at the dinner table. (What was that simple question?) Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luck—but why would we leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them? The Power of Moments shows us how to be the author of richer experiences.




My Ex-Best Friend's Wedding


Book Description

A wedding dress passed down through generations unravels the tangled threads of three women's lives in a novel of friendship, family, and forgiveness from the USA Today bestselling author of Ten Beach Road. Prized and stored away for safekeeping, the timeless ivory wedding dress, with its scooped neck and cleverly fitted bodice, sits gently folded in its box, whispering of Happily Ever Afters. To Kendra, Brianna, and Lauren it’s a reminder of what could have been, the promise of a fairy tale, and a friendship torn apart. But as Kendra knows firsthand: it wasn’t the dress’s fault. Once closer than sisters, Lauren and Bree have grown up and grown apart, allowing broken promises and unfulfilled dreams to destroy their friendship. A successful author, Lauren returns home to the Outer Banks, fiancé in tow, to claim the dress she never thought she’d wear. While Bree, a bookstore owner, grapples with the realities of life after you marry the handsome prince. As the former best friends wrestle with their uncertain futures, they are both certain of one thing: some betrayals can never be forgiven. Now on the eve of her daughter Lauren’s wedding, Kendra struggles with a secret she’s kept for far too long. And vows to make sure the dress will finally bring Lauren and Bree back together—knowing they'll need each other to survive the coming storm.
