Book excerpt: Big Little Lies meets Class Mom! Executive, wife, and mother of an outgoing first-grader, Sydney Clayton crushes her day-to-day obligations at work but flounders in the cutthroat world of parental politics. She manages to avoid the local drama until she’s faced with an ultimatum: join the Forest River PTA or risk her daughter becoming a social outcast. Sydney reluctantly becomes treasurer, and takes the recently vacated position of the president’s sidekick. If protecting the children’s freedom of speech, one best friend ban at a time, isn’t complicated enough, Sydney and her husband receive an unexpected offer for their house they don’t think they can refuse. Embroiled in the deception and manipulation rife among the elementary school moms, Sydney struggles. Should she sell the home she worked so hard to build in a town where betrayal runs rampant? Or should she stay put to avoid the fallout from uprooting her child? As Sydney focuses on what is best for her daughter, and lets go of her judgments, she finds friendship can develop in very unexpected ways. Warm, witty, and wise, Go On, Girl dramatizes the dilemmas of life in the suburbs and the bonds shared by women. "Hilary Grossman knocked it out of the park with her fourth novel. Go On, Girl is filled with humor and heart." - Meredith Schorr - Best Selling Author of The Boyfriend Swap and The Blogger Girl Series

Download or read book Gay Girl Good God written by Jackie Hill Perry and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I used to be a lesbian.” In Gay Girl, Good God, author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless and experienced gender confusion. She embraced masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could? At age nineteen, Jackie came face-to-face with what it meant to be made new. And not in a church, or through contact with Christians. God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel. Read in order to understand. Read in order to hope. Or read in order, like Jackie, to be made new.

Download or read book Steps to S6 written by Miss Stephanie Ellen Williams and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to setting and achieving goals, there really are no limits. Steps to S6 details the rapid progression of Stephanie Williams from school girl, to teacher, to successful businesswoman, describing the unimaginable whirlwind that ensued as a result. As a young girl, Stephanie’s school days were plagued with trauma; she was relentlessly bullied – to the point where she was hospitalised. School was not a place she wanted to be, which is one of the things that makes her story all the more remarkable. Steps to S6 tells of the many lows of Stephanie’s personal life. This includes getting into massive debt in an attempt to keep up appearances, being suspended as a teacher due to allegations made against her, and the devastating loss of many family members along the way. As well as reaching great heights in her personal and professional life, Stephanie describes her experiences of the negative side of being successful – the jealousy of others, the sacrifices she was forced to make, and realising her own fear of what success can mean. This candid autobiography will help others realise that no matter what has gone before, providing you make the right choices, there is always the chance to achieve your dreams. It is a moving, motivational read not just for anyone who has experienced what Stephanie has been through, but also for business-minded individuals, those working in education and fans of extraordinary stories.

For centuries, their people dominated the southwestern landscape with the help of the last pteradons on the planet—until the evil Mayan witch Rooshth appeared and virtually erased the Ancient Ones from history. But now she is back and still obsessed with the powerful magic embodied in the sacred tablet of the Anasazi. Rooshth wants to raise her son from the dead, a dark desire that refuels the final battle in a centuries-old war between Zed and Rooshth. In this fast-paced supernatural thriller fi lled with dark, earthy magic, twelfth century history intertwines with the emerging world of the 1930s as an immortal Anasazi and his son attempt to fulfill their mission before a determined witch acquires the power she has always desired.
