The world’s largest bookfair, Frankfurter Buchmesse, opened its doors last October 16-20, 2024, in Frankfurt, Germany. For worldwide business and trading, it is regarded as the most significant book fair on earth. More than 4,300 exhibitors and an expected 114,000 trade visitors from 131 countries, welcoming rights professionals from a total of 355 agencies and publishers make the Frankfurt Book Fair a place of endless discoveries. On the stages we experienced exciting international voices.
As the Frankfurter Buchmesse celebrates its anniversary for another year of serving the industry, Citi of Books did not miss the chance to join the 76th Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse) in Frankfurt, Germany. This spectacular gathering honors fascinating works and their creators.
With a series of activities prepared, one of the most anticipated this year is the chosen country to be the guest of honor, which is Italy. The country will present not just its diverse, unique qualities as an attractive place to travel but also as a country with a rich literary tradition.
Citi of Books is excited to present books written by our distinguished authors. In our assigned booth, a range of books—from fiction to nonfiction—would be on exhibit. A book included in the gallery was “Grant Me Timely Grace” by Tim Woods.
The author, Tim Woods, is a 45-year veteran psychotherapist, a playwright, and a novelist. He is an avid reader, gardener, a nature lover, and lover of history. Tim Woods graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and Tulane University, New Orleans, Los Angeles. He has currently resided in Northern California, since the year 1975.
How far can you fight for equality and peace?
“Grant Me Timely Grace” combines a complex plot of deep cover spies, disgraced military officers, diplomatic intrigue, and lovely Southern belles into a gripping fictional history of Washington before the Battle of Gettysburg. The book delves into the complexities of human relationships and the inner journey toward grace, offering insights into how individuals can seek and attain spiritual growth and redemption. The author encourages its readers to embrace grace as a guiding principle in their lives, helping them navigate challenges and find peace and purpose.
This novel revolves around Gerard Chantier, an immensely wealthy expatriate widowed Louisianan who has gained the confidence of the high Union leadership, his beautiful and brilliant daughter Therese, and Gerard’s longtime friend and assistant, James Bayeaux, whom he freed from slavery after inheriting his wealth. The book serves as a gentle reminder of the power of grace in fostering healing and renewal.
