      <image:title>Second Language - Second Language</image:title>
      <image:caption>The award-winning Second Language (#105 in the Many Voices Project) marked the debut of Ronna Wineberg and her exquisite collection of thirteen short stories. In these stories, Wineberg gently but unflinchingly explores challenging emotional territory, bringing a fresh perspective on choices made and their impact on her protagonists’ lives. What would you leave your wife if you knew your death was imminent? What would you say to your husband’s mistress if your paths should cross? What would you do if you were a doctor worried about your patient, a Holocaust survivor, and his despair? How would you address your mother’s terminal illness while also navigating an adulterous affair? In Second Language, Wineberg investigates the bonds that tie us together and how those promises, kept and unkept, are both broken and renewed. From Sonia, an elderly widow looking for closure and finding something surprising and new, to Elaine, a lawyer with a vengeance for her husband’s lover, Second Language is home to a rich, vibrant, and profoundly human array of characters who share one thing in common: choices. At times humorous, despairing, and triumphant, the characters in Wineberg’s astutely observed worlds wrestle with changes in their lives. These beautifully rendered characters choose new paths, ranging from forgiveness to revenge.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In this stirring new collection, Ronna Wineberg explores our essential bonds to partners, children, parents, and friends. Intimacy, marriage, parenthood, adultery, divorce, and the legacies left by the past unfold in these beautifully written stories. Men and women search for happiness and love, yet face longing, disappointment, and loss. The characters in Nine Facts That Can Change Your Life struggle with unexpected changes in their own lives but discover the power of kindness, the joy of connection, and the ways in which we can be renewed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>On Bittersweet Place - On Bittersweet Place</image:title>
      <image:caption>On Bittersweet Place is the powerful coming-of-age story of Lena Czernitski, a young Russian Jew whose family flees their homeland in the Ukraine after the October Revolution. The story unfolds in Chicago during the Jazz Age of the 1920's, where Lena's impoverished family has settled and where she must traverse the early years of adolescence. Lena's new world is large and beautiful and full of promise, but it is also cold and unwelcoming and laden with danger. Ronna Wineberg delivers a moving, universal story of family, self-discovery, young love, and the always relevant experience of the immigrant, the refugee, the outsider struggling to create a new home and a better life in an unfamiliar place.</image:caption>
