"Precious and Fragile Things" by Debby Kruszewski
Valerie left someone behind. He was everything to her. She was so in love, so young. Then her life was over. She awoke in a new body, never having a chance to mourn the previous one. She struggled with understanding relationships and the roles people played in her life. She never let go of the face of her love from the prior, nor did she let go of the desire for him. She spent years searching and yearning for him. Then she found him. But it was too late.
Valerie discover an outlet into the afterlife. She bonded with her grandparents in heaven; on earth, she had no relationship with her own mother, brother or sister. She spoke to her grandparents through signs and symbols that got her through life's traumatic twists and turns. She came to understand they all followed the same path of struggling with love, relationships, and the secrets they kept in search of these answers. Valerie went from relationship to relationship, never finding peace, until she broke the cycle. As with life, this novel is about the journey, not the destination.

So many exciting and fun cuisines all over the Hudson Valley along with great hiking trails and scenic views.

Valerie had a lot to learn when she came home-learn the noises in the house that she didn't hear before, to find who she was at this phase of her life. It was the quiet she wasn't prepared for. The inner strength she needed to fin to move on.
We all travel in circles from lifetime to lifetime. We may not understand the choices others make. If we love them, we can learn to forgive, Anger can change everything; love can conquer all.
The journey for the Zavala's was never easy, especially now. Everything had changed. Life kept evolving. They learned how to lean on each other, how love could be strong, and felt even when loved ones weren't with them.

“Soul Meets Body” by Debby Kruszewski is told through the narration of Maximo. He was a dream in his mother Maria's eyes. She did all that she could for the love of Maximo before he was even born. Maria listened to her heart that brought her to America. She knew that was where she needed to be to have the right life for her son. Maximo had his own vision. It was for Blake. After a tragic event, Blake lost her memory and didn't trust their love, even though she had strong feelings for him. They had a connection he knew was real, he never stopped loving her. She went to chase someone else, he never gave up on her. Maximo's journey of love turns to hurt, abuse, and false accusations. Maximo finds the strength in his belief of what is in his heart to conquer his obstacles. His vulnerability and perseverance run through deep avenues we all can relate too at some point in our lives.
