Th e Archer by Paolo Coelho
(Available November)
Paolo Coelho’s Th e Alchemist may be one of his most famous works,
but this master storyteller with slim volumes of works packs
another punch to the heart with his newest title. Publisher Little

Instead one must take risks, build courage, and embrace the unexpected
journey fate has to off er.”
