If you have loved Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, then you will want to read Anwar's Story. It is a fictional fable which tells the imagined life and trials of the 'other hero' in Paulo Coelho's famous and iconic story. Karen Williams discovered that, apart from the shepherd Santiago, another 'hero' truly does exist inside The Alchemist. Paulo based his allegory on an ancient tale from The Arabian Nights, without realising that this story contained a hidden archetype - the archetype of Mankind's search for redemption. And so, because of this, The Alchemist is not just the story of one hero, but two! Santiago was only able to find his treasure in Paulo Coelho's fable by encountering that 'other hero', which means that Anwar's Story could be considered the missing piece of The Alchemist - explaining the true meaning of the fable. This piece will allow Paulo's magical allegory to finally become complete, and also address many readers' questions which, until now, have been left unanswered.

The Takeaway: 20 Unforgettable Lessons Every Father Should Pass on to His Child

Williams, Pat

Sangoel is a refugee. Leaving behind his homeland of Sudan, where his father died in the war, he has little to call his own other than his name, a Dinka name handed down proudly from his father and grandfather before him. When Sangoel and his mother and sister arrive in the United States, everything seems very strange and unlike home. In this busy, noisy place, with its escalators and television sets and traffic and snow, Sangoel quietly endures the fact that no one is able to pronounce his name. Lonely and homesick, he finally comes up with an ingenious solution to this problem, and in the process he at last begins to feel at home. Written by the authors of the acclaimed Four Feet, Two Sandals, this poignant story of identity and belonging will help young readers understand the plight of the millions of children in the world who are refugees.

Poetry. African American Studies. "This focused first collection chronicles 300 years of African American medical experience, primarily exposing the outrage of health disparities, but also highlighting the groundbreaking work of Black physicians. Composed of both individual and collective histories, and meticulously researched, it is as absorbing as a novel, but its ultimate aim is justice. Williams says it best in her Author's Note: ELEGY FOR A SCARRED SHOULDER works to 'remind readers of the complexities, concerns and needs of the Black body, and how this and other bodies of color, bodies fearfully and wonderfully made, are worthy of protection, personal and community longevity, and quality affordable healthcare.' Her poems achieve this goal mightily, and they speak with many voices"--University of Arizona Poetry Center.
