The Alchemist
by Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho has inspired a devoted following around the world with his simple, yet inspiring story of an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasures found within. The story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.

Can't Wait to Get to Heaven
by Fannie Flagg
$13.95 Paperback

Combining southern warmth with unabashed emotion and side-splitting hilarity, Fannie Flagg takes readers back to Elmwood Springs, Missouri, where the most unlikely and surprising experiences of a high-spirited octogenarian, Mrs. Elner Shimfissle, inspire a town to ponder the age-old question: Why are we here?

In this comedy-mystery, those near and dear to Elner discover something wonderful: Heaven is actually right here, right now, with people you love, neighbors you help, friendships you keep. Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven is proof once more that Fannie Flagg “was put on this earth to write” (Southern Living).
