Book excerpt: Even in the most civilized countries, there is still a reluctance to accept strangers into small communities. "Another Damn Newcomer" tells the story of a couple moving to a tiny town where the wife is eventually elected as mayor, but is despised by the other governing body members. One would think that being the mayor of a small town would enable you to make changes that would benefit both the town and the residents. Not so if the village councilors don't like you. During this time, the county had to contend with the environmental issues of the spotted owl and reintroduction of the wolf. Despite the problems encountered, the book is full of laughter and the delight of living. Enjoy the funny story of a middle-aged couple moving to an isolated New Mexico village where they find friends, love, opportunities and challenges-but never, ever total acceptance. Audrie Clifford was born in California, grew up in Colorado, spent several years in Arizona but loves New Mexico most of all. "We are the state without pretense," she says. "Many of our beautiful homes and buildings are actually made of mud. We eat a lot of beans and chili, and delight in our gorgeous blue sky. How much more real can it get?"

But she is a hard worker and a fast learner, and she quickly informs herself of the town's needs. Then she begins to recommend changes. Changes pose a threat to the contented community.

Download or read book Newcomers Book Two written by Lojze Kovacic and published by Archipelago. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of this three-part autobiographical series begins in 1938 with the expulsion of the Kovacic family from their home of Switzerland, eventually leading to their settlement in the father's home country of Slovenia. Narrated by Kovacic as a ten-year-old boy, he describes his family's journey with uncanny naiveté. Before leaving their home, he imagines his father's home country as something beautiful out of a fairytale, but as they make their way toward exile, he and his family realize that any attempt to make a home in Slovenia will be in vain. Confronted by misery, hunger, and hostility, the young boy refuses to learn Slovenian and falls silent, his surroundings becoming a social, cultural and mental abyss. Kovačič meticulously, boldly, and sincerely portrays the objective, everyday world; the style is clear and direct. Told from the point of view of a child, one memory is interrupted by fragments and visions of another. Some are innocent and tender, while others are miserable and ruthless, resulting in a profound and heart-wrenching description of a period torn apart by conflict, reflected in the author's powerful and innovative command of language.

Miranda Meadowe decides a lonely widowhood in her crumbling country house is not for her. Reviving a university dream, she invites five of her oldest friends to come live with her, and to stave off the prospect of old age. All have their own reasons for accepting. To begin with, the omens are good. They laugh, dance, drink, and behave badly as they cling to the legacy they thought was theirs forever: power, health, stability. They are the baby boomers; the world is theirs to change. But as old attractions resurface alongside new tensions, they discover the clock can’t be put back. When building work reveals an Iron Age burial site of a tribal queen, the outside world descends on their idyllic retreat, and the isolation of the group is breached. The past is revealed—and the future that beckons is very different from the one they imagined. “A truly heart-warming story of the value of friendship and the beauty of life. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.” —The Bookbag “A wonderful story that explores relationships, history and change.” —She magazine “An evocatively told story of friendship, families and relationships, sharpened by the arrival of the outside world into their idyllic country retreat.” —Choice

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The True Story of Murder on Music Row through the eyes of the sole survivor, Sammy Sadler. “A story of survival. A story of revival. A story that had to be told. An incredible read that will keep you on the edge of your seat!” - Country Music Star Deborah Allen In 1989, country newcomer Sammy Sadler had already charted several critically-acclaimed singles and was ready to release his first album when he was shot during the assassination of then Cash Box chart-manager, Kevin Hughes, an incident known around the world as the “Murder on Music Row.” The police had no suspects, and even though Sammy suffered a nearly fatal bullet wound, the officers kept him under suspicion during the 13-year investigation. Eventually, the investigation would reveal an elaborate web of corruption, chart-rigging and payola, a clear motive and suspect for the murder. An ending that rocked the music industry for many years to come. In this first-hand account, Sadler recounts his personal and sensational journey from wide-eyed, promising, Top-40 newcomer to “person of interest” and survivor of one of the most infamous killings in the music business. From his struggle to recover from his nearly-fatal injuries to the turmoil endured during the 13-year career-throttling investigation, this autobiographical account is a demonstration of his faith and his resilient passion for music that would allow him to move forward and continue to pursue his dreams.

Download or read book The Communist written by Guido Morselli and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique political coming of age story, now in English for the first time An NYRB Classics Original Walter Ferranini has been born and bred a man of the left. His father was a worker and an anarchist; Walter himself is a Communist. In the 1930s, he left Mussolini’s Italy to fight Franco in Spain. After Franco’s victory, he left Spain for exile in the United States. With the end of the war, he returned to Italy to work as a labor organizer and to build a new revolutionary order. Now, in the late 1950s, Walter is a deputy in the Italian parliament. He is not happy about it. Parliamentary proceedings are too boring for words: the Communist Party seems to be filling up with ward heelers, timeservers, and profiteers. For Walter, the political has always taken precedence over the personal, but now there seems to be no refuge for him anywhere. The puritanical party disapproves of his relationship with Nuccia, a tender, quizzical, deeply intelligent editor who is separated but not divorced, while Walter is worried about his health, haunted by his past, and increasingly troubled by knotty questions of both theory and practice. Walter is, always has been, and always will be a Communist, he has no doubt about that, and yet something has changed. Communism no longer explains the life he is living, the future he hoped for, or, perhaps most troubling of all, the life he has led.
