Not declared dead, but surely not alive, Rex's status is unknown, and it has kept Angela a hermit for two years. But on the second anniversary of his gone missing, she receives a package from him, dated the time he disappeared, two years prior. In it is a Mayan artifact, a half of a medallion, and she realizes, somehow, supernaturally, it is calling her to him. As soon as she receives her Ph.D. and her appointment to the university faculty, she puts together a field trip to find him and to explore the new temple he found. This time, worse than ever, bandits, thieves and Indio are all over the team, and only the high level security she hired is able to keep them alive. Some of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very rich Englishman has established a special and elite club in Saudi Arabia, Sir Arthur Shankley likes to be referred to as 'The Sheik' and frequently appears in Arabic robes; particularly when he is entertaining the members of his club by showing off one of his female slaves being tormented to orgasm ... or simply being sexually tortured. Angela is a single woman of twenty four, working in London as a financial assistant. She is a true blonde, tall and very well built - in fact busty. She attends a gym regularly and maintains her gymnastic skills. A flexible (in the Sheik's words) female as attractive and intelligent as Angela, is just what the Sheik is looking for now that the last woman who satisfied his requirements has died of a heart attack. A private detective Dunford is given the task of finding such a girl, which he does - Angela. She is captured, gagged, hobbled and dressed in an all-enveloping garb and shipped out on the Sheik's private plane to Saudi Arabia as one of his household and in a group of five or six similarly dressed Arabic women who are not gagged and gabble constantly. Sadly it is just four days before her wedding was to be celebrated. When she arrives Angela is immediately introduced to the women's special quarters where she is inspected intimately, informed of her 'duties' and prepared for her first appearance before the Sheik and his guests. Iain Blackman is her employer and after a few months became her lover. After the abduction he confronts the private detective, learns what has happened to her and determines to rescue her

Download or read book Angela s Ashes written by Frank McCourt and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1998-12-17 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pulitzer Prize–winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, Angela’s Ashes is Frank McCourt’s masterful memoir of his childhood in Ireland. “When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood.” So begins the luminous memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank’s mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank’s father, Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Malachy—exasperating, irresponsible, and beguiling—does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story. Frank lives for his father’s tales of Cuchulain, who saved Ireland, and of the Angel on the Seventh Step, who brings his mother babies. Perhaps it is story that accounts for Frank’s survival. Wearing rags for diapers, begging a pig’s head for Christmas dinner and gathering coal from the roadside to light a fire, Frank endures poverty, near-starvation and the casual cruelty of relatives and neighbors—yet lives to tell his tale with eloquence, exuberance, and remarkable forgiveness. Angela’s Ashes, imbued on every page with Frank McCourt’s astounding humor and compassion, is a glorious book that bears all the marks of a classic.

Download or read book Folklorn written by Angela Mi Young Hur and published by Erewhon. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Novel of 2021 An NPR Best Book of 2021 A genre-defying, continents-spanning saga of Korean myth, scientific discovery, and the abiding love that binds even the most broken of families. Elsa Park is a particle physicist at the top of her game, stationed at a neutrino observatory in the Antarctic, confident she's put enough distance between her ambitions and the family ghosts she's run from all her life. But it isn't long before her childhood imaginary friend—an achingly familiar, spectral woman in the snow—comes to claim her at last. Years ago, Elsa's now-catatonic mother had warned her that the women of their line were doomed to repeat the narrative lives of their ancestors from Korean myth and legend. But beyond these ghosts, Elsa also faces a more earthly fate: the mental illness and generational trauma that run in her immigrant family, a sickness no less ravenous than the ancestral curse hunting her. When her mother breaks her decade-long silence and tragedy strikes, Elsa must return to her childhood home in California. There, among family wrestling with their own demons, she unravels the secrets hidden in the handwritten pages of her mother’s dark stories: of women’s desire and fury; of magic suppressed, stolen, or punished; of the hunger for vengeance. From Sparks Fellow, Tin House alumna, and Harvard graduate Angela Mi Young Hur, Folklorn is a wondrous and necessary exploration of the myths we inherit and those we fashion for ourselves.

Download or read book Healing the Nation written by L. Ashley Squires and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surprising history of how Christian Science swept through America, reflected in literature of the time by Twain, Dreiser, Cather, and more. Exploring the surprising presence of Christian Science in American literature at the turn of the twentieth century, L. Ashley Squires reveals the rich and complex connections between religion and literature in American culture. Mary Baker Eddy’s Church of Christ, Scientist was one of the fastest growing and most controversial religious movements in the United States, and it is no accident that its influence touched the lives and work of many American writers, including Frances Hodgson Burnett, Willa Cather, Theodore Dreiser, Upton Sinclair, and Mark Twain. Squires focuses on personal stories of sickness and healing—whether supportive or deeply critical of Christian Science’s recommendations—penned in a moment when the struggle between religion and science framed debates about how the United States was to become a modern nation. With tales of outsized personalities, outlandish rhetoric, and bitter debate, Squires examines how the poorly understood Christian Science movement contributed to popular narratives about how to heal the nation and advance the cause of human progress.
