When the minister she'd set her sights on has other ideas, she decides something in her life needs to change--and soon--before she wastes any more time pretending to be someone she's not. If that means spreading her wings and embracing a more lively way of life, who's to say nay? Grayson Sumner, Lord Sefton, has had more than enough of spreading his wings and only hopes to settle into the life of a respectable New York gentleman. Prompted by some friends to lift the spirits of the disappointed-in-love Miss Murdock, he is surprised to encounter an adventurous young lady with an unfortunate knack for stumbling into troublesome situations. Just as Grayson decides he's had quite enough of her antics, his past comes back to haunt him and his presence in Felicia's life endangers her. As they work together to extricate themselves from this latest complication, will Grayson and Felicia decide they want to spend the rest of their lives keeping one another out of trouble?
Download or read book A Talent for Trouble written by Michela Morellato and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I began to view the world, not as a safe space that liberated imagination and contentment, but as a hazardous, toxic, risky, no-go area, where every act and decision came with hidden dangers. To protect myself from a dangerous world, I had to become more dangerous.’ A Talent for Trouble is an energetic novel that sparkles with inspiration, irony and, above all, a fierce passion. In this post-modern biography, we meet and live through Eva; a radiant and rebellious dreamer; a provocative, unrelenting personality; with a magnetic charm, and an unquenchable thirst for curiosity, truth and dignity, in a wild world. We first encounter the young Eva as she struggles to adapt to life after losing everything, following her father’s bankruptcy. Not long after leaving school, Eva’s curiosity leads her to a dangerous liaison with a politician, who offers Eva the universe in exchange for her forbidden fruit. Eva’s world, as she discovers, soon becomes a primal minefield of predators. It’s a world of injustice, revenge and the abuse of power, where it must be ferociously fought with dignity, love and truth. As her dreams and security threaten to collapse around her, Eva vows to take control of her destiny. She is constantly forced to reinvent herself and explore her fantasies inside this labyrinthine, upside down, carnivalesque world of intrigue, shimmering, subversive discotheques, escort services, scandals, corruption and life as a devoted army wife. From her high school pranks to her adventures with controversial acquaintances and explosive love affairs, Eva’s life is a raw, emotional display of courage in a post-truth society, where she finds herself at war with cover ups, deceptions and institutional hypocrisy. Beneath the hard exterior of the bold language, there’s a precious and vulnerable side to the narrator, as explored during the climactic scenes with The General; which raises philosophical questions about honor, human nature, welfare, ethics and duplicity. Amid these assaults, Eva’s character, self-belief and spiritual relationship to God remain strong. We are all Eva.

Download or read book If Trouble Don t Kill Me written by Ralph Berrier and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making moonshine, working blue-collar jobs, picking fights in bars, chasing women, and living hardscrabble lives . . . Clayton and Saford Hall were born in the backwoods of Virginia in 1919, in a place known as The Hollow. Incredibly, they became legends in their day, rising from mountain-bred poverty to pickin’ and yodelin’ all over the airwaves of the South in the 1930s and 1940s, opening shows for the Carter Family, Roy Rogers, the Sons of the Pioneers, and even playing the most coveted stage of all: the Grand Ole Opry. They accomplished a lifetime’s worth of achievements in less than five years—and left behind only a few records to document their existence. Fortunately, Ralph Berrier, Jr., the grandson of Clayton Hall and a reporter for the Roanoke Times, brings us their full story for the first time in IF TROUBLE DON'T KILL ME. He documents how the twins’ music spread like wildfire when they moved from The Hollow to Roanoke at age twenty, and how their popularity was inflamed by their onstage zaniness, their roguish offstage shenanigans, and, above all, their ability to play old-time country music. But just as they arrived on the brink of major fame, World War II dashed their dreams. Berrier follows the Hall twins as they travel overseas, leaving behind their beloved music, and are thrust into the cauldron of a war that reshaped their lives and destinies. Through the brothers’ experiences, the story of World War II unfolds—Saford fought from the shores of North Africa to Sicily and Europe and finally into Germany; Clayton fought the Japanese in the brutal Pacific theater until the savage, final battle on Okinawa. They returned home after the war to find that the world had changed, music had changed . . . and they had, too. IF TROUBLE DON'T KILL ME paints a loving portrait of a vanishing yet exalted southern culture, shows us the devastating consequences of war, and allows us to experience the mountain voices that not only influenced the history of music but that also shaped the landscape of America.

He could not have predicted that one day, in the middle of his summer of sexual emancipation, Rachel would just drop their two children off at his place and simply not return. He had been working so hard to find equilibrium in his single life. The winds of his optimism, long dormant, had finally begun to pick up. Now this. As Toby tries to figure out where Rachel went, all while juggling his patients at the hospital, his never-ending parental duties, and his new app-assisted sexual popularity, his tidy narrative of the spurned husband with the too-ambitious wife is his sole consolation. But if Toby ever wants to truly understand what happened to Rachel and what happened to his marriage, he is going to have to consider that he might not have seen things all that clearly in the first place. A searing, utterly unvarnished debut, Fleishman Is in Trouble is an insightful, unsettling, often hilarious exploration of a culture trying to navigate the fault lines of an institution that has proven to be worthy of our great wariness and our great hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a princess excellent? Eager to learn the answer, an enchantress casts her magic mirror into our universe. Reflected in it are princesses from around the world and across centuries who refuse to be pretty, polite, and obedient. Princess Leila of the desert protects her people from the king with the black-and-gold banner; Princess Tica takes a crocodile for a pet; Princess Ellen explores the high seas; Princess Abayome puts empathy and kindness above royal beauty; and in an apartment building, a girl named Princess saves her community’s beloved garden from the hands of urban developers. These girls are fierce, brave, and determined to do the rescuing themselves. Connecting their stories is the magic mirror, which reveals itself when each girl needs it most, illuminating how a princess’s power comes not from her title or looks, but from her own inner strength. These beautifully imagined stories, complemented by vibrant and inviting artwork, are by turns charming and bold, familiar and surprising.
