Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tae has moved twice in his life. First, from South Korea to the United States when he was adopted as a baby, and then to a new town before he starts high school. In Tae’s new school, he’s one of the youngest players, and the only person of color, trying out for the Varsity soccer team—a team known for its violent hazing practices. Tae wants more than anything to be part of the team, but worries about fitting in. Then, he sees a familiar face. Luke is a soccer star on his way to scoring a role as the team captain and a full ride to college, but no one knows his secret—that he was adopted too. Tae and Luke met in an adoption group years before, and Luke’s first instinct is to help Tae fit in. But tradition is tradition, and Luke might not be able to save Tae from being hurt in the hazing rituals without risking his own reputation.

Download or read book The Secret Years written by Judith Lennox and published by Review. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic novel of a great house and the love that consumed it... Judith Lennox's The Secret Years is a moving story about life in the East Anglian Fens after the First World War. Perfect for fans of Rachel Hore and Kate Morton. During the golden summer of 1914, four young people played in the gardens of Drakesden Abbey. Nicholas and Lally were the children of the great house, set in the bleak and magical Fen country; Thomasine was the unconventional niece of two genteel maiden aunts in the village; Daniel was the son of the local blacksmith, a fiercely independent, ambitious boy who longed to break away from the stifling confines of his East Anglian upbringing. As the drums of war sounded in the distance, the Firedrake, a mysterious and ancient Blythe family heirloom disappeared, setting off an uncontrollable chain of events. The Great War changed everything, and both Nicholas and Daniel returned from the front damaged by their experiences. Thomasine, freed from the narrow disciplines of her childhood, and enjoying the new hedonism which the twenties brought, thought that she could escape from the ties that bound her to both Nicholas and Daniel. But the passions and enmities of their youth had intensified in the passing years, and the four friends had to experience tragedy and betrayal before the Firedrake made its reappearance and, with it, a new hope for the future. What readers are saying about The Secret Years: 'Judith Lennox writes wonderful stories which are compelling and beautifully descriptive' 'What a page turner -a twisty turny tale!' 'A wonderfully written story... Couldn't put this book down'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mystery of covfefe was first hinted in a late-night tweet by our President, "Despite the constant negative press covfefe..." 2:06 a.m., from @realDonaldTrump What did this mean? The twitter lines burned. News media, formerly consumed with generating fake news for both right and left, now was devoted to finding and exposing the mystery of this sentence fragment. For my own reasons, I delved into the original translations of the top 100 literary works (on Gutenberg.org) that we have always looked to for diversion and inspiration in times of trouble. Here the source of this word and its permutations were found. Perhaps no other word has united this country - for a moment - in humble non-understanding. And that silence was deafening, for a second. After that, we got back to partisan squabbling and fake news as usual. But it was fun while it lasted. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.

Almost immediately, she starts crushing on a hot guy who lives in her building. Deciding to take a break from her boyfriend Dexter, Kate believes the only thing now separating her from the fresh object of her sexual fantasies is the thin wall between their neighboring apartments. A former 1920s hotel, Camden Court has housed many lonely lives over the decades—and is where a number of them have come to die. They're not all resting in peace, however, including ninety-year-old Olive, who dropped dead in Kate’s apartment and continues to make her presence known. For Olive has a secret she’s dying to tell. One linking her to the sex, scandal, and sacrifice of a young dreamer named Lon.
