Download or read book Bittersweet in the Hollow written by Kate Pearsall and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this beautifully dark and enthralling YA, four sisters with unusual talents investigate a mysterious disappearance in their secluded Appalachian town. For fans of House of Hollow and Wilder Girls! In rural Caball Hollow, surrounded by the vast National Forest, the James women serve up more than fried green tomatoes at the Harvest Moon diner, where the family recipes are not the only secrets. Like her sisters, Linden was born with an unusual ability. She can taste what others are feeling, but this so-called gift soured her relationship with the vexingly attractive Cole Spencer one fateful night a year ago . . . A night when Linden vanished into the depths of the Forest and returned with no memories of what happened, just a litany of questions—and a haze of nightmares that suggest there’s more to her story than simply getting lost. Now, during the hottest summer on record, another girl in town is gone, and the similarities to last year’s events are striking. Except, this time the missing girl doesn’t make it home, and when her body is discovered, the scene unmistakably spells murder. As tempers boil over, Linden enlists the help of her sisters to find what’s hiding in the forest . . . before it finds her. But as she starts digging for truth—about the Moth-Winged Man rumored to haunt the Hollow, about her bitter rift with Cole, and even about her family—she must question if some secrets are best left buried.
Download or read book False Flag written by V.M. BRADLEY and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-01-17 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: False Flag is a complex story of politics and power, yet its also the story of the remarkable people of Bridgeview, the sixteenth town on Cape Cod. How the people of Bridgeview react to a treasonous plot, imposed on their community by conspirators based in Washington D.C., illustrates the strengths and weaknesses and remarkable resilience of average Americans. At first, the quiet, tourist oriented seaside town is the scene of a near drowning, but when the local police prove more astute than expected, everything changes. As the political mystery unfolds, investigators are led inexorably toward an unexpected and at first hardly believable conclusion: that is, rogue government officials are seeking to create, on U.S. soil, an incident that can be used to justify American military retaliation against another nation. To the conspirators, Bridgeview is perfectly located in a world renowned resort area, and it abuts the Mass. Military Reservation, still called Otis. Known as Edwards Army Base in WWII, when it was the jump-off spot for the War in Europe, and as Otis Air Base, a huge Strategic Air Command facility during the Cold War, it is now home to multiple armed services detachments, as well as special op training facilities. However, while the massive runways and the central facilities remain well maintained, other areas of the 22,000 acre base are nearly forgotten, creating a perfect situation for the conspirators to exploit. False Flag reaches deep into Cape Cod history, but also into the Washington beltway, the Pentagon, and various government agencies. In the process the designs and machinations of a powerful group of NeoCon government conspirators is revealed. This shadow group of high officials and military officers is intent on changing American and global politics and establishing permanent power bases for themselves. The people of Bridgeview thwart their plans.

Download or read book War over Lemuria written by Richard Toronto and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-05-09 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life magazine described the Shaver Mystery as "the most celebrated rumpus that rocked the science fiction world." Its creators said it was a "new wave in science fiction." Critics called it "dangerous nonsense" and labeled its fans the lunatic fringe. Whatever else the Shaver Mystery was, it became a worldwide sensation between 1945 and 1948, one of the greatest controversies to hit the science fiction genre. Today these stories of the remnants of a sinister ancient civilization living in caverns under the Earth are an all but forgotten sidebar to the historical record. The Shaver Mystery began as a series of science fiction yarns in Amazing Stories nearly 70 years ago. The men behind it, Ray Palmer and Richard Shaver, were derided and seldom understood by a fandom that did its best to sweep them under the carpet of history. Though Ray Palmer was one of the earliest and biggest names in SF fandom, credited with many firsts in his field, his fannish brethren have roundly ignored him, thanks to the Shaver Mystery. What is the truth behind these men and their "mystery"? This is the question writers and editors that promoted the Shaver Mystery try to answer as they reveal the behind-the-scenes story of the phenomenon known as "Shaverism."
Download or read book Appetites written by Geneen Roth and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1997-04-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times bestselling author of Women Food and God Roth speaks of issues that, chauvinism aside, only women can truly understand and identify with. In the past, her books were about food, weight, dieting, and the almost universal obsession that women have with their bodies and self-esteem. Now her canvas of introspection and discussion has expanded: eight chapters examine the nature of women's friendships, the craving to be famous, the longing for safety, and the search for a parallel life (or the perfect fantasy), among other topics. Based on intensely personal experiences, written with intensely emotional and intellectually probing prose, Roth's book pushes far beyond the issue of weight to ask what will make women happy. Her not-so-easy answers, divined from decades of therapy, of experiential beingness, of Buddhist practice, will speak to many. "Roth tells of her own experiences with a non-blink frankness cushioned by the gracefulness of her prose."—Chicago Tribune "Just the right mix of confession, sass, and style."—Publishers Weekly

Download or read book The Amnesiac written by Sam Taylor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-06-24 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping literary thriller from an exciting new voice in fiction Hailed as 'one to watch' by the UK's Telegraph, Sam Taylor is one of the most imaginative and innovative young writers at work today. With The Amnesiac, his United States debut, he incorporates a murder mystery and a forgotten manuscript into an exhilarating and intelligent novel. When twenty-nine-year-old James Purdew returns to England from his home in Amsterdam, it is to discover what happened during three earlier years of his life that he cannot recall. What he finds, in an old house with a tragic history, is a nineteenth-century manuscript that begins to seem less and less like a work of fiction-and more like the key to his own lost past. Memory and amnesia, fiction and reality, destiny and randomness, heaven and hell-all converge to form an engrossing gothic story that is sure to appeal to fans of Carlos Ruiz Zafon's The Shadow of the Wind.

Book excerpt: Now with a new afterword! A five star–reviewed, unforgettable story that bestselling author Homer Hickam calls “one of the most eloquent, moving, irresistible true stories” he’s ever read. The Waiting will touch your heart and make you believe in love’s enduring legacy, as well as the power of prayer. In 1928, 16-year-old Minka was on a picnic in the woods when she was assaulted and raped. And suddenly this innocent farm girl—who still thought the stork brought babies—was pregnant. The story that follows has been almost a hundred years in the making. After a lifetime of separation, Minka whispered an impossible prayer for the first time: Lord, I’d like to see Betty Jane before I die. What happened next was a miracle. Written by Cathy LaGrow (Minka’s granddaughter), The Waiting brings three generations of this most unusual family together over the course of a century in a story of faith that triumphs, forgiveness that sets us free, and love that never forgets. (As seen on The Today Show.)
Download or read book Final Sale written by Annie Irvin and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secrets. We all have 'em, and in Bittersweet Hollow there's one person who wants to uncover every last one of them. That busybody is real estate agent Grace Potter, about to tie up loose ends on her most recent real estate deal, the sale of the Bittersweet Inn. Elderly Olivia Waterford is selling the stately old Victorian bed & breakfast for health reasons and it's taken the insistent urging of her two daughters, Harper Reed and Lonnie Carmichael, to get the Inn on the market. It's October and after twenty years of local tradition, this will be the last Pumpkin Patch Festival Olivia will host on the grounds of the Bittersweet Inn. A few days before the Festival, Grace's prying around town uncovers enough dirty linen to completely ruin several not-so-innocent residents. If she broadcasts her knowledge, and she will, it will shatter the career and the marriage of young, handsome Pastor Hart who fell from grace with his pants down; she'll wreck Mickey O'Connell, the businessman whose wife will rake him over the coals and take everything he owns once she learns how his cheating gives new meaning to the phrase 'family affair'; and by shaking loose a skeleton hidden long ago in Roy and Glennis Turnbuckle's closet, she will certainly cause their middle-aged daughter's wedding plans to crash and burn before she can finally walk down the aisle with the only man who ever wanted to marry her.Her victims know Grace won't keep her mouth shut for long but before she can start her smear campaign and throw them all to the wolves, one of them refuses to pay Grace the pound of flesh her threats have demanded and Grace learns the hard way that the really calamitous thing about opening your big mouth is the way it provokes someone to come along and shut it. With the local cops off and running in the wrong direction to find Grace's killer, Harper begins her own sleuthing, uncovering compelling evidence that the locals with ample motive had plenty of opportunity for murder. Harper lays her own plan to catch the killer. But well-laid plans can go awry, and Harper finds herself alone with Grace's murderer, someone who will gladly kill again...."Most people would try and avoid running into Grace face-to-face so they wouldn't have to talk to her," Jack said.Harper agreed most people would probably do just that. But someone did run into her and then bashed her in the head. Very face-to-face.

Book excerpt: Harper Reed and her sister Lonnie are joyously helping their good friend Maggie get ready for her upcoming wedding to her long time beau Fred. A romantic outdoor wedding with all the trimmings is planned to occur on Maggie's farm--that is, until a few of her farmhands drive up breathless with the news that local auctioneer Stan Mumford has been found stabbed to death on the banks of the Big Bittersweet River which runs right through Maggie's property. The arrival of Sheriff Waylon Darcy soon puts the kibosh on any further wedding planning as the scene of the nuptials has just become the scene of the crime. Maggie is heart-broken, but Harper is not going to let one misfortune lead to another and resolves to solve the murder as fast as possible so the wedding can take place as planned. The three friends quickly take over the investigation much to the dismay of Sheriff Darcy. Unfortunately, Harper's aggressive methods irk more than just the local law enforcers. It appears that a murderer may also be a bit peeved and Harper had better watch out or she might not be alive to even attend the wedding!

Download or read book Heed the Hollow written by Malcolm Tariq and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stirring debut from the winner of the Cave Canem Poetry Prize, selected and introduced by Chris Abani Heed the Hollow introduces the work of Malcolm Tariq, whose poems explore the concept of “the bottom” across blackness, sexuality, and the American South. These lyrics of queer desire meet the voices of enslaved ancestors to reckon with a lineage of trauma that manifests as silence, pain, and haunting memories, but also as want and love. In bops, lyrics, and erasures, Heed the Hollow tells of a heritage anchored to the landscape of the coastal South, to seawalls shaped by forced labor, and to the people “marked into the bottom / of history where then now / we find no shadow of life.” From that shadow, the voices in these poems make their own brightness, reclaiming their histories from a language that evolved to exclude them.
