Even though his intentions are good, the impulsive twelve-year-old unwittingly awakens an ancient evil endangering all of Perilous Falls. As boats sink and hideous creatures crawl from the rising waters, it is up to Will to confront a nightmarish enemy and set things right before it is too late. Along with his sweet—if lethal—great-aunt Lucille, the curator of a museum of supernatural artifacts, Will proves that the actions of one twelve-year-old boy can change the world.

The Unexpected Light of Thomas Alva Edison (Turnabout Tales)

The extraordinary saga of Mother Angelica, founder of the multimillion-dollar Eternal Word Television Network and “the most influential Catholic woman in America” according to Time magazine In 1981, the year after Ted Turner founded CNN, a simple nun, using merely her entrepreneurial instincts and $200, launched what would become the world’s largest religious media empire in the garage of a Birmingham, Alabama, monastery. Under her guidance, the Eternal Word Television Network grew at a staggering pace, both in viewership and in influence, to where it now reaches over a hundred million viewers in hundreds of countries around the globe. Born Rita Rizzo in Canton, Ohio, in 1923, Mother Angelica was abandoned by her father and raised in poverty by a mother who suffered from suicidal depressions. As a young woman, Rita developed severe abdominal pain that doctors dismissed as a “nervous condition,” but when she sought the prayers of a local mystic, her symptoms disappeared. Awakened to the power of prayer, she vowed to dedicate her life to God and became a cloistered nun, expecting to spend her life hidden from the world. But Rita’s faith soon compelled her to unlikely endeavors, from establishing a monastery in Alabama to starting the world’s first Catholic cable network. Relying solely on “God’s providence,” Mother Angelica built an empire without concern for budgets or fund-raising campaigns, achieving what even the highest levels of the Catholic Church had been unable to do. Raymond Arroyo combines his journalist’s objectivity and eye for detail with more than five years of exclusive interviews with Mother Angelica. He traces Mother Angelica’s tortured rise to success and exposes for the first time the fierce opposition she faced, both inside and outside of her church. It is an inspiring story of survival and proof that one woman’s faith can move more than mountains.

La historia extraordinaria de la Madre Angélica, fundadora de la multimillonaria Cadena de Televisión Eternal World y “la católica más influyente de Estados Unidos”, según la revista Time. En 1981, un año después de que Ted Turner creara CNN, una sencilla monja, sólo con sus instintos empresariales y doscientos dólares, fundó en el garaje de un monasterio de Birmingham, Alabama, lo que se convertiría en el imperio religioso de medios de difusión más grande del mundo. Bajo su guía, la Cadena de Televisión Eternal World (EWTN) creció a un ritmo asombroso, tanto en número de televidentes como en influencia, hasta el punto de que ahora llega a más de cien millones de televidentes en cientos de países de todo el mundo. Nacida como Rita Rizzo en Canton, Ohio, en 1923, la Madre Angélica fue abandonada por su padre y criada en la pobreza por una madre que padecía de depresión. De joven, Rita sufrió fuertes dolores abdominales que los médicos pensaron que se debían a un “problema de los nervios”, pero sus síntomas desaparecieron cuando una mística de su localidad rezó por ella. Al darse cuenta del poder de la oración, Rita juró dedicar su vida a Dios y se hizo monja de clausura, con la esperanza de pasar toda su existencia lejos del mundo. Pero muy pronto, la fe de Rita la impulsó a realizar obras increíbles, desde establecer un monasterio en Alabama hasta dar inicio a la primera cadena católica de televisión por cable. Confiando únicamente en “la providencia de Dios”, la Madre Angélica construyó un imperio sin prestar atención a presupuestos ni a campañas de recaudación, y logró lo que ni los más altos prelados de la Iglesia Católica habían logrado hacer. Raymond Arroyo combina su objetividad periodística y su habilidad para captar los detalles en los más de cinco años de entrevistas exclusivas con la Madre Angélica, para traernos esta increíble historia. En su narración, Arroyo sigue el tortuoso ascenso al éxito de la Madre y saca a la luz por primera vez la feroz oposición que ella enfrentó, tanto dentro como fuera de la Iglesia Católica. Esta es una inspiradora historia de supervivencia y una prueba de que la fe de una mujer puede mover mucho más que montañas.
