The Winner Stands Alone, but I have read other works by Paulo Coelho and think he is a talented and gifted writer. I'll check it out. Thank you for posting something other than mysteries. I don't care for them, but that seems to be what most folks enjoy. I also don't care for books that come in a series, although I did like Harry Potter.

Welcome, welcome!!!! from another old, happy person. Have you read The Light Between Oceans? Man oh man, what a great story. Author is M. L. Stedman from Australia, now living in London.
