The Red Umbrella is a moving tale of a 14-year-old girl's journey from Cuba to America as part of Operation Pedro Pan—an organized exodus of more than 14,000 unaccompanied children, whose parents sent them away to escape Fidel Castro's revolution. In 1961, two years after the Communist revolution, Lucía Álvarez still leads a carefree life, dreaming of parties and her first crush. But when the soldiers come to her sleepy Cuban town, everything begins to change. Freedoms are stripped away. Neighbors disappear. And soon, Lucía's parents make the heart-wrenching decision to send her and her little brother to the United States—on their own. Suddenly plunked down in Nebraska with well-meaning strangers, Lucía struggles to adapt to a new country, a new language, a new way of life. But what of her old life? Will she ever see her home or her parents again? And if she does, will she still be the same girl? The Red Umbrella is a touching story of country, culture, family, and the true meaning of home. “Captures the fervor, uncertainty and fear of the times. . . . Compelling.” –The Washington Post “Gonzalez deals effectively with separation, culture shock, homesickness, uncertainty and identity as she captures what is also a grand adventure.” –San Francisco Chronicle

Antony Theodore has written thousands of wonderful poems on spirituality and love. This book contains two hundred of his select poems on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. The poems make several references to the Veda, Upanishad, Gita and other scriptures also. The poems are arranged in seven parts covering Miracle of Birth, Word of God, Mystery of Love, Voyage of Life, Temptation of Flesh, Final Cross and The After Life. Many of the poems dwell on the intimacy of human love as expressed through sexual attraction between man and woman. For the poet marriage is the sacred union of two souls on the path of God realisation. The covenant of marriage is a promise before God for lifelong devotion, and its breach is a terrible sin signalling fall of man. Romantic attraction prepares the human heart for ultimate God communion. Supreme God has split Himself into Man and Woman for cosmic play of creation. By seeing one's mirror image in one another, a couple in love can retrace their path back to the divine origin. The poems provide a penetrative new interpretation of the universal truths underlying Christ's sermons. It shows that the truth contained in the Holy Gospel is essentially the same truth as expounded in the scriptures of all world religions. The One Truth has been expressed differently through Veda, Bible, Gita and Quran. The book has been edited by Dr Tapan Kumar Pradhan, who has also written its foreword and introduction. The book makes a startling revelation about Antony Theodore's extraordinary relationship with the mystic Kashmir poet scholar Hemangi Sharma. Dr Tapan hints at a definite past life relationship with Hemangi Sharma / Antony Theodore.

Antony Theodore’s most famous poem is “I Am Your Baby, Mum”. It has been translated into more than 20 languages. This deceptively simple yet powerful poem outwardly advocates against abortion of foetuses. This is as per Antony’s professed Catholic Christian faith. However it also has much deeper spiritual meaning. Love for God grows like a fertilised seed in the sanctuary of devotion in the heart of the sincere seeker. Abandonment of spiritual quest before full God realisation is akin to abortion of one’s own baby. Therefore abortion is nothing but abandonment of God. This book contains moving poems on the loving relationship between a mother and her baby. These can also be interpreted as the eternal relationship between God and Man. Just like a mother forgives her child’s mistakes, ever merciful God also forgives all sins of His children. When a baby calls out to her mother, she leaves all her urgent tasks to immediately attend to the baby’s needs. Similarly God also readily responds to the sincere seeker’s earnest soul call. The book provides a penetrative new interpretation of the universal truths contained in the scriptures of all world religions. The One Truth has been expressed differently through Veda, Bible, Gita, Quran and other sacred texts. The book has been edited by the Indian poet Dr Tapan Kumar Pradhan, who has also written its introduction in addition to translating several of the poems. The book makes a startling revelation regarding Antony Theodore's extraordinary relationship with the mystic Kashmir poet scholar Hemangi Sharma. Dr Tapan hints at a definite past life connection with Hemangi Sharma / Antony Theodore.
