Book excerpt: Desperate to make her debut in society before another claims the affection of the man she loves, Daisy Gerard finds herself unexpectedly captivated by the enigmatic Lord Ashford. Daisy Gerard, spirited and unabashedly outspoken, had no intention of spending her time with the sophisticated mother of her country neighbor, the elusive Lord Ashford. Her goal was to enjoy her season and win over the man who had once vowed to marry her. But then Daisy finds herself falling for the irksome Ash, drawn to a man who listens to every unfiltered thought she shares, understanding her in ways she hadn't anticipated. Tasked with the guardianship of two young orphans, Ash has his hands full, leaving little room for Daisy's disruptive presence in his life. Yet, Daisy's knack for embracing life's absurdities and her adeptness at resolving dilemmas for others—though rarely for herself—brings an unexpected harmony to his world. Can Ash win her heart before it's claimed by another?

Download or read book Smokin Joe written by Mark Kram and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping, all-access biography of Joe Frazier, whose rivalry with Muhammad Ali riveted boxing fans and whose legacy as a figure in American sports and society endures History will remember the rivalry of Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali as one for the ages, a trilogy of extraordinary fights that transcended the world of sports and crossed into a sociocultural drama that divided the country. Joe Frazier was a much more complex figure than just his rivalry with Ali would suggest. In this riveting and nuanced portrayal, acclaimed sports writer Mark Kram, Jr. unlinks Frazier from Ali and for the first time gives a full-bodied accounting of Frazier’s life, a journey that began as the youngest of thirteen children packed in small farm house, encountering the bigotry and oppression of the Jim Crow South, and continued with his voyage north at age fifteen to develop as a fighter in Philadelphia. Tracing Frazier’s life through his momentous bouts with the likes of Ali and George Foreman and the developing perception of him as the anti-Ali in the eyes of blue-collar America, Kram follows the boxer through his retirement in 1981, exploring his relationship with his son, the would-be heavyweight Marvis, and his fragmented home life as well as the uneasy place that Ali continued to occupy in his thoughts. A propulsive and richly textured narrative that is also a powerful story about race and class in America, Smokin' Joe is unparalleled in its scope, depth, and access and promises to be the definitive biography of a towering American figure whose life was galvanized by conflict and whose mark has proven lasting.

Book excerpt: Eloisa James returns to the Wildes of Lindow Castle series with the next Wilde child who runs and joins a theatre troupe -- and the duke who tries to save her reputation. He wants a prim and proper duchess, not the Wildest of the Wildes! Already notorious for the golden hair that proves her mother’s infidelity, Lady Joan can’t seem to avoid scandals, but her latest escapade may finally ruin her: she’s determined to perform the title role of a prince—in breeches, naturally. She has the perfect model for an aristocratic male in mind: Thaddeus Erskine Shaw, Viscount Greywick, a man who scorned the very idea of marrying her. Not that Joan would want such a dubious honor, of course. For years, Thaddeus has avoided the one Wilde who shakes his composure, but he’s horrified when he grasps the danger Joan’s putting herself in. Staring into her defiant eyes, he makes the grim vow that he’ll keep her safe. He strikes a bargain: after one performance, the lady must return to her father’s castle and marry one of three gentlemen whom he deems acceptable. Not including him, of course.

Download or read book Mythological Tales of Sussex written by Laurence Gates and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These fascinating tales have been passed down from generation to generation. Some are legends associated with local places around Colgate and St. Leonard's Forest in Sussex, England and some feature a race of 'super humans' with extra powers of strength, sight, hearing and more. Many have a moral lesson for the greedy, dishonest or vain, and of course there are kings, princes, princesses and happy endings. There is a local equivalent of the Greek myth of Icarus, who wanted to fly and a deeply symbolic myth of the tramp who has forgotten his true nature. It is uncertain how far back these tales originate and what their heritage is but they are an important part of local Sussex culture. While they were originally told on dark evenings before electricity brought light and instant entertainment, these stories continue to have a timeless appeal for adults and children alike.
Download or read book Chairman Mao Would Not Be Amused written by Howard Goldblatt and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories by Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan, Booker Prize winner Su Tong, and more: “Takes readers into worlds the Chinese government has long tried to hide.”—The Washington Post Book World “In contrast to the utopian official literature of Communist China, the stories in this wide-ranging collection marshal wry humor, entangled sex, urban alienation, nasty village politics and frequent violence...’The Brothers Shu,’ by Su Tong (Raise the Red Lantern), is an urban tale of young lust and sibling rivalry in a sordid neighborhood around the ironically named Fragrant Cedar Street. That story’s earthiness is matched by Wang Xiangfu’s folksy ‘Fritter Hollow Chronicles,’ about peasants' vendettas and local politics, and by ‘The Cure,’ by Mo Yan (Red Sorghum; The Garlic Ballads), which details the fringe benefits of an execution. Personal alienation and disaffection are as likely to appear in stories with rural settings (Li Rui’s ‘Sham Marriage’) as they are to poison the lives of urban characters (Chen Cun’s ‘Footsteps on the Roof’). Comedy takes an elegant and elaborate form in ‘A String of Choices,’ Wang Meng’s tale of a toothache cure, and it assumes the burlesque of small-town propaganda fodder in Li Xiao’s ‘Grass on the Rooftop.’”—Publishers Weekly “Fiction that reflects the turmoil brought about by Tiananmen and the money-making ethic found in China today.”—Library Journal Includes contributions by Shi Tiesheng, Hong Ying, Su Tong, Wang Meng, Li Rui, Duo Duo, Chen Ran, Li Xiao, Yu Hua, Mo Yan, Ai Bei, Cao Naiqian, Can Xue, Bi Feiyu, Yang Zhengguang, Ge Fei, Chen Cun, Chi Li, Kong Jiesheng, Wang Xiangfu

Download or read book Forever 51 written by Pamela Skjolsvik and published by Fawkes Press. This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veronica is eternally fifty-one years old with a proclivity for problematic drinking. Like most hormonally challenged women negotiating the change of life, she is a hot mess. To retain her sanity, she attends weekly AA meetings and adheres to a strict diet of organic, locally-sourced, (mostly) cruelty-free human blood from the hospice facility where she works. Her life stopped being fun about a hundred years ago, right about the time her teenage daughter stole her soul and took off for California with a hot, older guy. These days, Veronica’s existence is just that – an existence, as flat and empty as her own non-reflection in the bathroom mirror. When her estranged daughter contacts her via Facebook, Veronica learns that she has one chance to escape her eternal personal summer: she must find and apologize to every one of the people she’s turned into vampires in the last century. That is, if they’re still out there. With raging hormones and a ticking clock, Veronica embarks on a last-ditch road trip to regain her mortality, reclaim her humanity, and ultimately, die on her own terms.
