By Antonio Carlos Mongiardim Gomes Saraiva. 2018
Este libro es un relato (narrativa) y busca ser una reflexión, sobre realidades y situaciones que el autor observó en…
un cortísimo periodo de tiempo en el que vivió en una comunidad (luz) en Minas Gerais/Brasil, de valores y prácticas sociales muy diferentes del escenario común. Por tratarse de un enfoque personal, subjetivo y limitado, su contenido es aquello que el observador consiguió registrar, con extractos en los que participa y es parte integrante de rituales, ceremonias y liturgias con un determinado propósito. Por eso, el libro está lejos de trazar caminos, mostrar resoluciones, dar respuestas y mucho menos tiene la pretensión de hallarse encima del bien o del mal. Tierras de la hermandad es también sentimiento, aprensión y angustia, provocación, en un ambiente en el que el autor es constantemente puesto a prueba y conoce otras formas de conocimiento y elevación. Independientemente de las ideas y opiniones de cada uno, en el libro es posible percibir cuanta seriedad y enfoque existe en esas prácticas, al ser realizadas de una forma atenta y teniendo siempre en cuenta la preservación y la valorización de las especies. En Tierras de la Hermandad, el autor pasa por un periodo muy difícil en el que siente la necesidad de encontrar (construir) un eje de vida para poder encontrarse, ya que atraviesa graves problemas familiares que lo limitan y al mismo tiempo lo alientan. Eso hace que su relato oscile entre situaciones de gran tensión, melancolía y frustración, y otros de júbilo, alegría y contemplación ante la vida, a medida que la acción va transcurriendo y caminando hacia su cumbre. Más que una aventura inusitada, de carácter espiritual y religioso, Tierras de la Hermandad es también un granero de personas y comportamientos que interactúan en un ambiente riguroso, difícil, pero religiosamente prometedor.

A Laura Creek Sweet Romance Escaping the machinations of her conniving, ruthless uncle, the intrepid Wren O’Bannon forms the Big…
O’ Corporation and purchases, sight unseen, a mercantile located in the remote Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon. Driving her own freight wagons full of merchandise, with her dog Mac as her sole companion, Wren arrives at her destination. Is she heralded as a hero for arriving alive with her cargo intact? Is she welcomed as a savior, bringing staples and supplies to this out-of-the-way, podunk little village? Not a bit! No sooner does she alight from her wagon than she finds herself accused of thievery, chicanery, and out and out fraud. Sheriff Telt Longtree, confronted with a potentially explosive situation taking place on the street of his heretofore peaceful little town, finds himself serving as a mediator between the accuser, banker Howard Buttrum, and one grubby little muleskinner gal who claims to be the new owner of the mercantile. A farce ensues, and the stubborn, indefatigable entrepreneur Wren O’Bannon flies in the face of the banker’s prejudice against women owning and operating a business, while she denies her inclination to get all gooey inside whenever the sheriff is near. Although confused, Sheriff Longtree, intrigued to find this muleskinner gal is not grubby at all but rather lush and utterly fascinating, grows relentless in his pursuit to uncover all her secrets. One by one, the citizens of Laura Creek add their voices, their complications, and their speculations to the controversy. Meanwhile, the real, vindictive, and very dangerous enemy, Wren’s ruthless uncle, plots and plans his destruction of her dreams.The Storekeeper and the Lady (A Laura Creek Sweet Romance #3)

Creek Mercantile. His cousin Wren, the owner of the mercantile, would like him to choose a wife and settle down. Free to take up his own pursuits and interests, out from under his big brother’s influence, Quinn is at last making his own way, his way. As a bachelor, he’s flattered to find himself sought after. He is included in every social gathering, and considered an asset to the company. He enjoys the experience, and yes, he likes to test it, see how far he can go with his easy smile and playful ways. All is fun and games until one day, a young woman, with three children in tow, enters his store and brazenly steals a coil of rope. Laura Creek is a small town, and thieving is unheard of. Quinn had, as a boy, stole his share of apples. Now though, on the other side of the counter, he doesn’t care for the game at all. After the thieving vixen and her gang’s appearance, things come up missing from his brother’s farm, his cousin’s porch, and lumber and building materials are disappearing from the loading dock. Quinn thinks he knows who’s pilfering, but why from the O’Bannons and no one else in town mystifies him. Who is she? And where’s the gang’s hideout? The mystery surrounding this young woman’s appearance begins to interfere with his social life and his flirtation with two pretty and highly eligible young ladies of interest. True McAdam, her younger brother Ryder, baby Jewel, and little sister Melody are orphaned, with no home and no hope. Tru sets out with her siblings in tow on a mission to destroy the O’Bannon family. It was an O’Bannon who drove their father to commit suicide and their mother to fade away, dying of shame and hopelessness. Quinn O’Bannon, the son of the lying cheat responsible for Tru’s family’s homeless state, isn’t exactly who Tru thought he’d be. There’s a generous and thoughtful man behind Quinn O’Bannon’s boyish façade. His flirtatious smile and dark eyes make him hard to resist. It is nearly impossible for her to maintain any level of hatred. Much to Tru’s dismay, she soon comes to the conclusion Quinn O’Bannon is why she’s here. Destiny brought her to Laura Creek under the guise of vengeance. But vengeance, it turns out, does not yield satisfaction. She’s here to meet her destiny, Quinn O’Bannon. She was led here with a purpose. Quinn is part of that purpose, but there is more. Quinn’s despicable and dangerous daddy, the man responsible for the McAdam children’s homelessness, is on the loose again. He must be stopped. Tru McAdam fulfills her destiny in more than one way in this tale.A Lady for the Reprobate (A Laura Creek Sweet Romance #1)

Royce O’Bannon doesn’t think much of himself, hungover, feeling worthless, doomed to be nothing more than a skunk and a…
drunk like his old man. He holds little hope for his own future but would like to think his younger brother Quinn could do better than waste his life aiding and abetting their old man in his hedonistic pursuit of depravity. Their cousin Wren offers the brother’s another way, a way far from their father’s destructive influence. But cousin Wren’s way means a dull life of work, no booze, no excitement or willing women. If they refuse her offer, Royce and Quinn are certain to do serious time for their misdeeds. Caught between a rock and a hard place, the brothers choose Laura Creek. Bucking against the constraints and conditions put upon him, Royce keeps one thought in mind, escape from the no-nothing little mountain village of Laura Creek. And then one cold fall night, the beautiful, crippled, courageous music teacher, Cleantha Arnaud, entered his life. Their instant attraction to one another inspires Royce as no other man or woman has ever inspired him before. For her, Royce embraces the concept he can be better, do better even though he sees little hope he’ll ever be worthy, or be able to provide for her, give her the home, the life she deserves. Cleantha, feeling more as a broken ornament than a living being with needs, desires, and dreams, sees beneath the cocky, bad-boy façade of the town’s infamous reprobate, Royce O’Bannon. She sees a kindred spirit—an outcast, an oddity like herself. Admitting to their weaknesses and insecurities, their mutual passion for music seals the bond between them. The dream in sight, Cleantha at his side, a life of bliss and fulfillment, and peace within their reach, all is shattered by the one true Reprobate, Stanly O’Bannon, Royce’s sire. Daddy is a hard-drinking, ruthless man out for revenge against his traitorous sons and the town that gave them a second chance. Royce will have to face down his demons to survive. Cleantha holds the key to hope and Royce holds the key to her heart. Together they both know all too well. They are as a bow to the fiddle…the one is nothing without the other.Looking Inside
