Kindle Release of Two Novellas by Eve La Salle Caram & Cecilia Brainard

August 26, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

PALH (Philip­pine Amer­i­can Lit­er­ary House) announces the Kin­dle release of two novel­las, PLEASE, SAN ANTONIO! by Eve La Salle Caram & MELISANDE IN PARIS by Cecil­ia Manguer­ra Brainard:

 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GL7D81T

The book. a Spe­cial Inter­na­tion­al edi­tion of PALH, col­lects two delight­ful novel­las writ­ten by award-win­ning authors about women who jour­ney to Rome and Paris and find cre­ativ­i­ty, iden­ti­ty, love, and healing.

In Eve La Salle Caram’s Please, San Anto­nio!, an emo­tion­al­ly iso­lat­ed Amer­i­can wom­an’s trip to Rome becomes a pow­er­ful quest to find what she has lost: her cre­ativ­i­ty, iden­ti­ty, and “an open place in her heart.

In Cecil­ia Manguer­ra Brainard’s Melisande in Paris, a young seam­stress from the French coun­try­side comes to Paris to assist her dress­mak­er aunt, and redis­cov­ers her tal­ent, strength, and a pre­cious “feel­ing of whole­ness” in her new lover’s arms.

Togeth­er, Caram’s Beat­rice and Brainard’s Melisande cross geo­graph­i­cal bor­ders and bor­ders of the heart with vital­i­ty and spir­it, and will inspire those who believe in the pos­si­bil­i­ty of heav­en on heart.
The book is also avail­able in paper­back in Ama­zon and from PALH (palh@aol.com)

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
