A lively, ironic book about love, friendship, family and freedom comes out July 1st.
“Conductor”
Claire McFall, Like Book

“Jog in the Park”
David Park, Polyandria No Age
Should you run away from problems? Perhaps yes, in the truest sense of the word. Group jogging brings together completely different people. Everyone has their own story, their own burden on the heart. Day after day they run more and more – and everyone gets to know each other better. Perhaps life brought them together not by chance, and thanks to kindness and responsiveness they will be able to help each other.
“Flowers for Mrs. Harris”
Paul Gallico, House of Hope
A simple cleaning lady, Mrs. Harris, puts things in order in the apartments of wealthy people all her life. Despite her modest income, she is quite content with her measured life. But everything changes with a single meeting … with a dress from Dior. Now the London cleaning lady has a goal in life – a French dress from the famous fashion designer. Well, let this goal seem unattainable! Mrs. Harris has enough perseverance and wisdom to not only get what she wants, but also to change the lives of those who met on her path for the better.
The book was filmed in 1992 under the title Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.
