Gittel is Fruma Ya’el’s daughter with Cantor Levine. At first, grief-stricken and in severe physical pain, Havah, wants nothing to do with the talkative girl. Gittel, who tends to look for the good in people, accepts Havah’s insults with gentle compassion. It’s not long before Gittel wins her over.

The girls, who are both sixteen, become confidantes, friends and sisters. The only wedge between them is Arel.

“Words refused to come from Arel’s mouth. His feet felt like stones. Diverting his gaze to Gittel, his intended since he was thirteen, his mind swirled like leaves on the wind. Tall and slender, she had an innocent beauty that emanated from the depths of a tender soul. Her auburn hair made a silken cape around her slim shoulders. He had, heretofore, enjoyed the prospect of making her his wife.”

Your Ex-Boyfriend Will Hate This by Blue Sullivan is now available!

Your Ex-Boyfriend Will Hate This is a relationship advice book that differentiates itself mostly by not being about dating at all… Instead, it’s about answering the four core questions in life: 1) Who are you? 2) Where are you? 3) Where are you going? 4) Who are you going with? The book suggests that the last of these questions can only be satisfactorily resolved by answering the other three first. You must know who you are before you can know where you are in life. You must understand where you are in life before you can decide where your life is headed. You must also know your destination before you can choose the right “travel” partner. To address these essential questions, we invite the reader to contemplate the origins of: Their ideas on love. Their ideas of what constitutes the “perfect” mate. Their ideas of their own personal “type”. And most importantly, their ideas of themselves, including their own capacity to love and be loved. Your Ex-Boyfriend Will Hate This isn’t a set of inflexible rules for who you should be, how you should behave, or who and what you should care about because life is messy, and people are not the same. This book helps you unearth the “rules” which best suit you. Often success in life isn’t about discovering concrete “answers,” it’s about asking the questions better.

Gracey is facing a catalyst; a past confronted, the present slipping away and the unknown, intimidating future. She can’t do anything about the past, except accept it for what it was—her father’s alcoholism, her mother’s infidelity and soul-searching, and her siblings “realities.” Imminent death lurks. And yet, in the midst of it all, histories come full-circle, revealing both lies and truths. What once was, will be again, repeating itself…or does the buck stop here?

An all-encompassing novel that penetrates the core beings of all who read it, A Good Girl pulls back the skin to reveal the raw actualities of life, love and relationships, told with candor and honesty.

Freedom is Who You Are. ‘Freedom’ is but another word for ‘God.’ It has been difficult to find words in human language to describe That Which God Is, but ‘Freedom’ is one of them. Another word to describe God is…You.

You and God are One. Therefore you, too, are Free. Free to make choices, free to select your reactions and responses to life, free to be your authentic Self. www.CWGPortal.com
