The Space Between the Olives

A Story of Civic Engagement

By: Lily Guzmán

Juan Narvaez is a young boy living in the dying town of Alborde. Once famous for its great olive trees, Alborde has lost its prosperity and population as the people who cultivated the land move from place to place across the country as migrant workers to supplement their meager incomes. The children of the migrant workers, Juan's young friends, are forced to go with their parents, losing out on the opportunity for a proper education and thus a future different from their parents. Juan realizes things have to change, and with the help of his grandfather, affectionately named Fello, he develops a plan to transform Alborde into a place where families can stay year-round, generating jobs and business opportunities, one step at a time, through civic involvement and thoughtful activism. Originally published in Spanish, The Space Between the Olives: A Story of Civic Engagement is based on a true story. It is a tale of courage, solidarity, civic action, and commitment. Author Lily Guzman shows those interested in community development how to participate and act to improve the lives of citizens at the core of an organized society: the municipality. It is a much-needed example to inspire readers to produce significant changes in their own communities at the grassroots level. Lily Guzman is currently an international business development consultant for LGA Inc. She represents the U.S. in the Ibero-American Union of Municipalists (UIM), an international municipal government organization, under which she has managed several exchange programs between U.S. institutions and Latin America and Spain, including the Stetson University faculty and students exchange program, the Stetson University law exchange program with the Universities of Granada and Malaga, the Latin American Studies Program Municipal Government Internship, and the yearly Latin American Mayors and Municipal Workers Workshop in central Florida. Lily Guzman has also served as Latin America Coordinator for the Greater Fort Lauderdale Sister Cities Organization. She is the author of The Caterpillar Story/La Historia de la Oruga and Mas Alla de Mi, a book of poetry and short stories.

100 Resorts in the Philippines

Places with a Heart

By: Dominique Grele,Lily Yousry-Jouve

The book features full details and descriptions of resorts, hotels or guesthouses that the authors regard as memorable. The description of each place is not just factual, but emotional in that it reveals impressions. It is more as though a friend is making a word-of-mouth recommendation rather than the bland copy of a brochure. Details of the overall size, the facilities, rates, service, local tours and attractions are fully covered.

Still with me

By: Lily del Pilar

Las personas quebradas siempre regresan a los lugares en donde fueron dañadas. El oficial Jong Jungguk jamás imaginó que, en una tarde de lluvia, encontraría a un chico llamado Moon Daehyun atrapado en el ático de una casa de clase media en la ciudad de Daegu, Corea del Sur. Todo parecía ir bien hasta que Daehyun desaparece de forma repentina. De él solo queda un rastro de sangre y una pregunta: ¿se puede extrañar a alguien que te hizo tanto daño? Lily del Pilar regresa con Still with me, una adictiva novela de superación –con tintes de suspenso–, sobre el paso a la adultez, la dependencia emocional y la búsqueda de eso que nos hace únicos en el mundo. No podrás dejar de leer el desenlace de Still with you.
