Book excerpt: STRANDED.... Julie looked up and down the freeway. Vehicles zoomed by in an endless string of lights. It could be hours before anyone came to help. Headlights glared behind her. A man got out. Let me take you to a phone, call a tow. Sometimes you could tell a person's character by their eyes. It was too dark. But she had to take the chance, accept his offer of help. If she didn't get home soon, her husband would really kill her. ANOTHER SERIAL KILLER COMES TO LOS ANGELES.... In vast yet isolated Southern California, connected only by freeways, a new monster is evolving. He strikes and slips away into the river of traffic to brutally rape and strangle his victims. Cathy Buchanan, housewife and mother living in upscale Torrance, and Lorraine Johnson, a postal worker in South LA, are preoccupied with their lives. Cathy's idyllic existence is slowly dissolving as she grows certain her husband is having an affair. Lorraine has a broken heart and issues with her disapproving mother and drug-addicted sister. As the killings mount, the Southland begins to panic. Evidence from the latest murder suggests the killer is black. Lorraine's got her doubts. Cathy feels relieved. The media go crazy. Family crises and a random set of events will bring these two very different women together when the killer strikes again. Now they have only each other. They never imagined what would become necessary for a chance to survive. And no one could have predicted the way their ordeal will end.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
Download or read book The Voice at the Back Door written by Elizabeth Spencer and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1994-03-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1950s, the town of Lacey in the Mississippi hill country is a place where the lives of blacks and whites, though seemingly separate, are in fact historically and inevitably intertwined. When Lacey's fair-haired boy, Duncan Harper, is appointed interim sheriff, he makes public his private convictions about the equality of blacks before the law, and the combined threat and promise he represents to the understood order of things in Lacey affects almost every member of the community. In the end, Harper succeeds in pointing the way for individuals, both black and white, to find a more harmonious coexistence, but at a sacrifice all must come to regret. In The Voice at the Back Door, Mississippi native Elizabeth Spencer gives form to the many voices that shaped her view of race relations while growing up, and at the same time discovers her own voice -- one of hope. Employing her extraordinary literary powers -- finely honed narrative techniques, insight into a rich, diverse cast of characters, and an unerring ear for dialect -- Spencer makes palpable the psychological milieu of a small southern town hobbled by tradition but lurching toward the dawn of the civil rights movement. First published in 1956, The Voice at the Back Door is Spencer's most highly praised novel yet, and her last to treat small-town life in Mississippi.
