It is the sixteenth century, the beginning of the Spanish conquest of the Americas, and when her shiftless husband disappears to the New World, Inés uses the opportunity to search for him as an excuse to flee her stifling homeland and seek adventure. After her treacherous journey takes her to Peru, she learns that her husband has died in battle. Soon she begins a fiery love affair with a man who will change the course of her life: Pedro de Valdivia, war hero and field marshal to the famed Francisco Pizarro. Valdivia's dream is to succeed where other Spaniards have failed: to become the conquerer of Chile. The natives of Chile are fearsome warriors, and the land is rumored to be barren of gold, but this suits Valdivia, who seeks only honor and glory. Together the lovers Inés Suárez and Pedro de Valdivia will build the new city of Santiago, and they will wage a bloody, ruthless war against the indigenous Chileans-the fierce local Indians led by the chief Michimalonko, and the even fiercer Mapuche from the south. The horrific struggle will change them forever, pulling each of them toward their separate destinies. Inés of My Soul is a work of breathtaking scope: meticulously researched, it engagingly dramatizes the known events of Inés Suárez's life, crafting them into a novel full of the narrative brilliance and passion readers have come to expect from Isabel Allende.]]></description><link>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3350793</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3350793</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3350793076</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063000438/MC.GIF&amp;client=penlibsys&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Afterlife]]></title><link>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3317649</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3317649</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alvarez, Julia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3317649076</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>English Edition</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781980077602/MC.GIF&amp;client=penlibsys&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Collision of Lies]]></title><link>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3280190</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3280190</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Threadgill, Tom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3280190076</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781980064060/MC.GIF&amp;client=penlibsys&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Supreme Ambition]]></title><link>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3391479</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3391479</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marcus, Ruth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3391479076</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>Brett Kavanaugh and the Conservative Takeover</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781797107684/MC.GIF&amp;client=penlibsys&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[About Amphibians/sobre Los Anfibios]]></title><link>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3488598</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3488598</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sill, Cathryn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3488598076</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Guide for Children/una Guida Para Ninos</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781980011545/MC.GIF&amp;client=penlibsys&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[There There]]></title><description><![CDATA[Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame in Oakland.

He is a fugitive and an exile, wanted for murder throughout the empire of Saypur. His entire existence has seemed only to visit suffering and death upon those he wants most to protect-while he himself has emerged from each battle cruelly unscathed, inexplicably immune to forces both natural and divine. Then his closest friend and ally, former Prime Minister Shara Komayd, is assassinated. Suddenly, Sigrud's life has a purpose: to find Shara's killers and make them suffer for what they've done. And Sigrud has much experience in matters of suffering. Yet as he pursues his quarry with his customary terrifying efficiency, Sigrud learns that far more than revenge is at stake. Because Shara's assassin is no mere mortal, and her murder was just the beginning. Using death after death to fuel his powers, the killer plans to bring down a night of eternal darkness, and rule within it. Only Sigrud-and the strange curse that has destroyed his life-can stop him.]]></description><link>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3706861</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3706861</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bennett, Robert Jackson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3706861076</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781490649177/MC.GIF&amp;client=penlibsys&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the Midst of Winter]]></title><description><![CDATA[A minor traffic accident becomes the catalyst for an unexpected and moving love story between two people who thought they were deep into the winter of their lives.

Or do they have plans of their own?]]></description><link>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3703598</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3703598</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bennett, Robert Jackson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3703598076</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781490650319/MC.GIF&amp;client=penlibsys&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nemecia]]></title><description><![CDATA["As a child, cousin Nemecia came to live with Maria's family before Maria was even born, so Nemecia's history has remained as impenetrable as storm clouds obliterating the sky. All Maria knows is that she's always found her older "sister" strange: the girl's air of tragedy, her ravenous appetite, her shocking claim to have killed her own mother and grandfather. But as Maria finds, the truth of Nemecia's past is far more troubling than even Maria's darkest suspicions."--Container.]]></description><link>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C2360644</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C2360644</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Quade, Kirstin Valdez]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2360644076</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781490685588/MC.GIF&amp;client=penlibsys&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ordinary Sins]]></title><description><![CDATA[After another in a long line of regrettable decisions, church worker Crystal finds herself unwed and pregnant with twins.

The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions-until its divine protectors were killed.

Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani. Officially, the unassuming young woman is just another junior diplomat sent by Bulikov's oppressors. Unofficially, she is one of her country's most accomplished spies, dispatched to catch a murderer. But as Shara pursues the killer, she starts to suspect that the beings who ruled this terrible place may not be as dead as they seem-and that Bulikov's cruel reign may not yet be over.]]></description><link>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3698185</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C3698185</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bennett, Robert Jackson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://smcl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3698185076</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781470360191/MC.GIF&amp;client=penlibsys&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
