Download or read book Allegheny Hideaway written by Kimberly Tanner Gordon and published by Energion Publications. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iris Elaine Picket lives in a beautiful home, with many servants, and a husband who sees her with the same respect he sees those household slaves. The loss of her child after yet another beating from her husband gives her the impetus to take her maidservant and flee South Carolina, leaving behind her parents, security, even her name and begin a new life in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania. Once again, author Kimberly Gordon, draws us into the lives of her fictional characters, connecting us in our contemporary lives with her imperfect people who struggle to make good choices, just like us. This story calls us to consider our own secret prejudices as Iris evolves from her childhood beliefs to the truths that she recognizes as she finds friends in those who were once thought of as slaves. Mrs. Gordon writes unapologetically from her Christian beliefs but avoids the distraction of preaching and, instead, offers her characters who are learning from the witness of others and their own time of prayer with God.

Her stories will surprise and intrigue you as she introduces you to people she met. “I cannot continue to live with the shame, judgment and persecution from my life in The Fringe. I am tired of carrying the burden of our invisible existence among you. I will not hide our secrets, and refuse to be silent any longer. It is time you knew our stories and the truth of who we really are. It is time to give a voice to those of us in The Fringe.” In the end, as she educates us about their plight, she hopes to build a bridge between the ignorance of society with compassion and an awareness for who we are – The Fringe.
Download or read book Please Love Me written by Kimberly Tanner Gordon and published by Energion Publications. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Roe, orphaned at the age of eight, lives her life in the same orphanage where her father was forced to leave her when he went off to fight in the Civil War. Now, fifteen years later, she takes care of the present set of children who are in the orphanage and has only a visit to the local confectionery shop as the highlight of her week. Margaret makes an uncharacteristically bold move and signs on as a mail order bride and quickly finds herself on a train to Iowa City, Iowa where she becomes Mrs. Russell Chadwick. Margaret's marriage is by no means usual as her husband is kind but distant. As she builds relationships with her neighbors and even her in-laws, her relationship with her husband remains confusing, emotionally hurtful and a test of her faith and trust in God and her husband. How does she know what God really wants her to do? Should she stay with Russell or leave him and begin yet again? This is author Kimberly Gordon's third published historical novel. While the characters and settings reflect well the history and mores of the time, the reader can easily draw insight into contemporary life lessons. Mrs. Gordon is a master at laying down biblical principles within the context of the story.

Book excerpt: Here is the follow-up to the much talked about and read, Megabelt. Five years ago, Nick May wrote about his growing up in what is known as the Bible Belt. The story of Gil, Cal, Everyman, Grey and more resonated with people who also lived in this section of the United States, and allowed those who did not, to look through the knothole in the fence. Stories included dinner on the grounds, gospel singing, summer camp and ice cream socials. We laughed and cried and asked for more. Nick May has answered our request with a new Foreward and a new chapter. The book is now approximately 140 pages.

The democratic countries of the world face off against totalitarian forces bent on genocide and the destruction of freedom and self-determination.

A FORTRESS STEEP AND MIGHTY looks back at the extraordinary efforts made to ensure the continuity of the United States government in case of an attack from the USSR.

This thriller, the fourth book in the Reunion Chronicles Mysteries series, reaches into the future with an outrageously bold plan intended to prevent a present-day nuclear catastrophe.
Download or read book Pull Me Up written by Dan Barry and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2004 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A generational memoir of the American suburbs, Pull Me Up is a deeply affecting book. With prose that to Frank McCourt "flashes with poetry," New York Times columnist Dan Barry tells the story of an unforgettable American family. He writes so crisply that we not only feel his emotions but also recall our own: the joy of Little League, the thrill of small-town reporting, the pain of losing a parent, and the fear of facing a life-threatening illness. Barry's writing has its own stalwart beauty, a single melody teased out of the American symphony. Here is the voice of an authentic American writer.

Book excerpt: August, 1608, seven ships loaded with two-hundred men, woman, children, and everything else that they would need to start over again in the New World sailed into the Delaware Bay and went ashore at present day Kent. These people had fled the forest of England and sailed to the new world seeking the same things that the Puritans would, twelve years later in 1620. Only the Indians were aware of them but they kept their distance from the strange pale people that lived in a part of the forest they long believed was inhabited with the evil spirits of the enemies they killed in the wars among the tribes. They stayed hidden among the giant Eastern Hemlocks and American Beech trees from other Europeans until the Drake Well in Titusville discovered oil in 1859. That was when the first Europeans---the descendents of those whom they escaped--- ventured into their new home looking to get rich. And that's when the killing first began.
