Catalog of Desire and Disappearance

Ana Wolf, a young librarian living in present day Berlin, stumbles upon a diary belonging to a woman named Gabriella in 1980’s Berlin. Ana Cruz’s THE CATALOGUE OF DESIRE AND DISAPPEARANCE, is a coming-into-one’s-own story for a young woman who has never really bonded with people her age, but desperately wants that connection. Through Gabriella’s story, Ana discovers how to trust herself and finally break out of her shell. This book is for readers drawn to stories of self-empowerment and reflection on the people who came before us – those who paved the way so we would know which roads to walk down. Sometimes all we need to learn is that people have done it before us, so we can do it too.
