Two unlikely friends–Elisa, a German outsider, and Jessie, the daughter of the local prison warden–meet during the Depression. In Elisa's far–off homeland, a new dictator is spreading the stain of hate, but the two girls are absorbed in matters closer at hand. Together they explore their small town, dream of the future, and talk about Slater Carr, the angel–faced prisoner whose nightly bugle rendition of Taps holds their small town in thrall and whose actions, one Halloween night, will change everything. "You think about Slater," Jessie says. "I give him to you." A time will come when she will remember saying that to Elisa and regret it with all her heart. Margaret A. Edwards Award–winner M. E. Kerr creates a compelling portrait of America between the World Wars, of friendship, and of innocence lost.

On a cool summer’s eve, five-year-old Tara takes a walk on the beach with her grandfather. When he is not quite sure how to answer her questions about love and life, the Moon herself joins in on the conversation. She tells Tara that the stars made our eyes so they could see themselves. She also explains that everyone we see is our own self in a different form. Deepak Chopra’s first children’s book is a sweet and poignant story that reveals the meaning of true love.

Maybe there is someone in your life right now who will change your world without ever knowing it, and possibly without ever knowing you. Slater Carr was such a person: a prisoner whose nightly bugle renditions of Taps from The Hill held a small upstate New York town in thrall. Two girls, new friends, one an outsider from Germany, discovered the boy who was a lifer at Cayuta Prison. "How easily we talked of Slater . . . imagining his life before The Hill. I think we talked about him ore than we cared about him." Jessie and Elisa also talked a lot about Wolfgang Schwitter, the rich preppie who drove his convertible with the top down, even in winter. Time and times would changed them all . . . and so would what Slater did one Halloween. "You think about Slater," Jessie said. "I gave him to you." A time would come when she would remember saying that to Elisa and regret it with all her heart.
