Book excerpt: There is a forgotten castaway one an island in the thousands of miles of the Pacific Ocean. He writes his story in a battered paperback novel, covering the space between printed lines and around the margins before packing the book into a coconut shell and sending it out to drift to sea, hoping that it will be found. Who is this forgotten man? In a remarkable feat of imaginative skill, Richard Maynard records the thoughts, feelings and struggle for survival of the ultimate castaway, a man whose name and background we are never told but whose inner life we come to know intimately. Alone on his few square yards of sand, rocks and stunted palms he writes of his despair and self-pity, his triumphs and fantasies, his struggle to stay alive.

He realises that the elderly man who appears before him is a figment of his imagination, as her the sounds of music and laughter that float across the sea from an island that seems to be in the distant haze. One day he will find the courage to swim over to the island, following the sounds of music...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You’ve Got Mail meets How to Eat a Cupcake in this delightful novel about a talented chef and the food critic who brings down her restaurant—whose chance meeting turns into a delectable romance of mistaken identities. In downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lou works tirelessly to build her beloved yet struggling French restaurant, Luella’s, into a success. She cheerfully balances her demanding business and even more demanding fiancé…until the morning she discovers him in the buff—with an intern. Witty yet gruff British transplant Al is keeping himself employed and entertained by writing scathing reviews of local restaurants in the Milwaukee newspaper under a pseudonym. When an anonymous tip sends him to Luella’s, little does he know he’s arrived on the worst day of the chef’s life. The review practically writes itself: underdone fish, scorched sauce, distracted service—he unleashes his worst. The day that Al’s mean-spirited review of Luella’s runs, the two cross paths in a pub: Lou drowning her sorrows, and Al celebrating his latest publication. As they chat, Al playfully challenges Lou to show him the best of Milwaukee and she’s game—but only if they never discuss work, which Al readily agrees to. As they explore the city’s local delicacies and their mutual attraction, Lou’s restaurant faces closure, while Al’s column gains popularity. It’s only a matter of time before the two fall in love…but when the truth comes out, can Lou overlook the past to chase her future? Set in the lovely, quirky heart of Wisconsin, The Coincidence of Coconut Cake is a charming love story of misunderstandings, mistaken identity, and the power of food to bring two people together.

Download or read book Get Your Dreams Right and Be Successful written by Tella Olayeri and published by GOD'S LINK VENTURES. This book was released on 2024-11-06 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book emphasizes on, it is good to interpret dreams shown in the spirit in order to fulfill your vision and mission. It is compelling to understand and decode the symbolic messages we receive in our dreams. Dreams, particularly those inspired by the Spirit, hold significant meaning and can offer guidance, warnings, or revelations about our personal lives, spiritual journey and future. By interpreting these dreams, individuals can uncover divine insights that propel them toward fulfilling their God-given purpose. Dreams are not random occurrences but spiritual communications. These are spiritual dreams. In real life we have dreams to fulfill. “Get your dream right and be successful” is a book that emphasizes the importance of clarity, purpose, and actionable steps in achieving success. Dreams, or long-term visions, are the driving force behind personal fulfillment and success, but only when they are pursued with the right mindset and strategy. Everyone has dreams, whether they are related to career, relationship, finance or personal growth. Once the dream is identified, the book shifts focus toward the practical steps necessary to turn the dream into reality. Another core concept is the importance of resilience and adaptability. The path to success is rarely direct but often filled with challenges and setbacks. However, these obstacles are framed as opportunities for growth rather than failures. The book encourages readers to stay committed to their vision, adjust their strategies when needed and maintain a positive, growth-oriented mindset. Moreover, the book discusses the significance of surrounding oneself with the right people. It advocates building a network of mentors, peers, and supporters who can provide guidance, feedback, and encouragement along the line. The right environment is to play critical role in maintaining motivation and focus. The book also talks in length about speaking against the spirit of arrogance and rudeness that chase loved ones and the likes away. The book portrays pride, rudeness or self-importance as a spiritual force that can blind individuals to their need for God and prevent them from cultivating humility. This book serves as both a motivational guide and a practical handbook for anyone looking to achieve their aspirations. It blends personal development techniques with actionable strategies, urging readers to dream big but also to plan well. It is said, success is not just about dreaming, but about turning those dreams into a reality with purpose, persistence and the right approach. You will gain much in this book among the followings: Clarity of Vision: You will learn how to clarify your dreams and set achievable goals. Actionable Strategies: You will gain practical steps to break your dreams into manageable tasks. Overcoming Obstacles: You will understand how to identify and overcome challenges that may block your progress.

Download or read book A Mind Spread Out on the Ground written by Alicia Elliott and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In her raw, unflinching memoir . . . she tells the impassioned, wrenching story of the mental health crisis within her own family and community . . . A searing cry." —New York Times Book Review The Mohawk phrase for depression can be roughly translated to "a mind spread out on the ground." In this urgent and visceral work, Alicia Elliott explores how apt a description that is for the ongoing effects of personal, intergenerational, and colonial traumas she and so many Native people have experienced. Elliott's deeply personal writing details a life spent between Indigenous and white communities, a divide reflected in her own family, and engages with such wide-ranging topics as race, parenthood, love, art, mental illness, poverty, sexual assault, gentrification, and representation. Throughout, she makes thrilling connections both large and small between the past and present, the personal and political. A national bestseller in Canada, this updated and expanded American edition helps us better understand legacy, oppression, and racism throughout North America, and offers us a profound new way to decolonize our minds.
