Publisher's summary
Life is a journey filled with trials, triumphs, and countless moments that define who we are and who we become. For Anita and Alberto, this journey began in a small town in Brazil and led them to a fulfilling life in Rhode Island. Their story is one of immense love, unwavering determination, and extraordinary sacrifices made in pursuit of a better future for their family. "Dream of a Better Future" is the poignant and inspiring tale of Anita, a devoted mother of seven, whose strength and resilience became the pillars upon which her family stood strong.
Together with her husband, Alberto, she navigated the challenges of poverty, separation, and the uncertainties of immigration to ensure that their children would have opportunities they could only dream of. In the face of overwhelming odds, Anita and Alberto's journey from Brazil to America is marked by moments of despair and triumph, tears and laughter. It is a testament to the enduring power of a mother's love and a father's dedication. Their story is a vivid reminder that the greatest sacrifices often yield the most profound rewards.
Join us as we explore the remarkable journey of this couple, whose story reminds us that with love, determination, and sacrifice, anything is possible. Their legacy of love and resilience will inspire and guide generations to come, proving that the greatest journeys are not just about where we go, but about who we become along the way.

Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.
