Book excerpt: A little girl stares with amazement at the big city while she grasps her grandfather's hand... A little boy watches his grandmother struggle to collect firewood with only one good leg and an old chair for balance... A modern Cinderella story about a pretty young girl with childhood dreams and an innocent heart. A handsome young man with a drive for the wild side and a passion for living life to the fullest. Can two young lives so completely opposite of each other form a lasting relationship? This true love story is presented in its rawest, most unedited form through the memoirs of two individuals destined to meet and fall in love. ***** I very much enjoyed this book. It takes you back to a time when America seemed a little less crazy, a little more pure. And yet at the heart of it is finding that lifelong love from the perspective of her and him. That love, as wholesome as apple pie, is not defined by time or era, making the book as relevant today as in the period it was written. A wonderful read. --Margie I could easily identify with the characters as I remembered my first date with my husband. It is truly love that brought them together in this story of faith, love, and passion. --Kathy Chappell Wonderful book as I know the author. I loved reading about her and her husband's childhood and their relationship. Excellent read! --Connie Lucas

Download or read book The Voice Of The Sphinx written by John J. Klingerman MD and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all have an inheritance to leave...only some leave more than what is required. There is no greater gift of inheritance than the gift of words; whether written or spoken, they remain someone’s memory, and our legacy, forever. I do not ascribe to chance or happenstance. This novel was written over twenty years ago. I was working with my father-in-law to get it published before he passed from this life. Our plans and efforts, however, did not come to be; he passed away May 28, 2015. My daddy became sick the following year, putting this novel on hold. When my daddy passed away, I was left to care for my mother until I had to find an assisted-living facility to give her the care that she needed, and I could no longer personally provide. Which leads us to the setting of this novel, taking place in the early 1990s and having reference to stories as far back as the 1920s. I never thought that at the age of fifty-three, I would be able to recall a simpler time in my life that wasn’t so long ago. In the early 1990s, we had not yet experienced the technology boom that forever changed communication and the way we live. In this novel, you will find no cell phones, no texting, no phone cameras, no social media, no key fobs, and no computerized medical notes. What you will find, however, is the simple beauty of the personal relationships of the residents and staff of an assisted-living facility. While the storyline of this novel is poignantly beautiful, there is a much deeper understanding to be gained. We would all do well if we could learn to listen honestly and become slower to speak. May we be provoked to desire to check ourselves, humble ourselves, and take it upon ourselves to ascertain the exact meaning of our vocabulary. My prayer is that we may be encouraged by the intention and desire of the author in the sharing of this novel, The Voice of the Sphinx—the inheritance of my father-in-law, John J. Klingerman, MD—to his dear children, John, Kelly, Mark, and Chris.

Download or read book A Belgian Odyssey written by Patricia LaPlante and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: F I N A L Y! ...she's getting to see the world. A suburban American housewife, Patty LaPlante, finds herself transplanted to a little town in Belgium—a result of her husband's corporate transfer. Her lifelong dream of travel is finally coming to pass, but the adjustment is hard for their three children, who are reluctant to leave everything they know. Given her propensity to attract trouble, her naivete lands Patty into many comic misadventures, such as introducing the Mexican ambassador to a roomful of people by the wrong name, accepting a lift on a lonely road in Spain from a man of dubious repute who thought she was a street-walker, and dealing in diamonds in a shady part of town. As her husband states, “Every time she walks out the door, I wonder if I’ll ever see her again.” But there are poignant and heartrending moments as well. There is the day at the Luxembourg War Memorial Cemetery when she finds herself standing on General George S. Patton's grave, as well as witnessing the gut-wrenching scene that unfolds before her at the infamous Berlin Wall before it fell. At the end of her husband's assignment, however, Patty had grown through her experiences and had become more street smart and world-wise. With the lessons she learned, she knows she can never return to the past, nor remain the person she used to be.

Download or read book Lasting City The Anatomy of Nostalgia written by James McCourt and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year (Nonfiction) The darkly intense Irish-American family drama come alive like never before in this "virtuosic meta-memoir" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “The blood-red of Manhattan, the brilliant green of an Irish-American wake, the blue-rinsed divas of the opera and the bathhouse alike” (Michael Gorra) are hypnotically rendered in this “astoundingly smart book” (John Waters). With some of the most lyrical cadences in recent literature, the legendary James McCourt animates twentieth-century New York through a “kaleidoscope of sharp-edged, brilliantly colored memories” (J. D. McClatchy) and with “dynamic prose and high-brow erudition that has gone the way of the dodo” (Publishers Weekly). Braiding a nostalgic portrait of the eternal city with a boy’s funny, guttersnipe precocity and outrageous coming-of-age in the 1940s and 1950s, McCourt revisits the fantasy city of his youth with Proustian memories of steam calliopes in Central Park, Hiroshima “obliterated in a flash of light,” and closing his mother’s eyes for the last time. As sensational as it is satisfying, Lasting City, a profoundly American work, identifies the spot where genius and madness meet.
