Download or read book My Sister s Keeper written by Jodi Picoult and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-04-06 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult tells the story of a girl who decides to sue her parents for the rights to her own body in this riveting story that tackles a controversial subject with grace and explores what it means to be a good person. Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally powerful story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness. Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate—a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister—and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. My Sister’s Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child’s life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister’s Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.

Download or read book Ephialtes written by Gavin E Parker and published by parcom entertainment. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2241 the dominant superpower on Earth, the USAN, successfully concludes the fourth world war. The nation breathes a sigh of relief and looks forward to the resumption of elections. Across the solar system the leading industrialist in the USAN’s small colony on Mars is thinking about independence. When the Martian population votes in favour Mars secedes from the union. It seems to be a fait accompli until it’s suggested that a massive dropship carrying spacecraft, Ephialtes, built to patrol the Earth, could be refitted for interplanetary spaceflight. Maybe the USAN could use its military might to persuade the colonists to reconsider. With an enormous instrument war of heading toward them the Martians resolve to defend their independence. Limited resources force them to rely on wit and ingenuity as they prepare their defences. Can they prevail against the mighty Ephialtes? Political intrigue, heart-pounding action and page-turning drama abound in this gripping opening to the Ephialtes Trilogy. ** Review "The story effectively generates suspense for the inevitable confrontation between the two planets . . . An absorbing, inventive introduction to Parker's version of the 23rd century, where politics still reign." - Kirkus Reviews "For fans of this kind of military sci-fi, there's every reason to pick this title up. The book is an exceptional example of its genre that does all it sets out for succinctly, but pushes for a full, fleshed-out trilogy as something to look forward to: a trilogy that seems likely to meet expectations. The book oozes quality throughout." - Self-Publishing Review, 4 Stars From the Author My book Ephialtes is the first of a trilogy set in the twenty-third century, detailing the conflict arising between Earth and its former colony on Mars. The book charts the social, political and military forces that shape the Martian secession, and the unintended consequences that arise from it. Ephialtes is a sprawling narrative, the trilogy covering two planets and multiple generations. Book One lays out the beginnings of this huge adventure and is, I believe, a terrific opening for what is yet to come.

It acknowledges the familiar biographical contexts of his songs, but it tells completely new stories about the birth and evolution of his musical ideas, identifying important musical trends in his work, heretofore undisclosed inter-song connections within his music, or between his music and that of others, and the nature and extent of his artistry.

Download or read book The Botanic Garden and My Old Kentucky Plays written by Richard Cavendish and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kentucky. Known today for its bluegrass, horse racing, and bourbon; it’s very name, embedded in Iroquois history, means Land of Tomorrow. The song birds are the sweetest, thoroughbreds fleetest, wrote James Mulligan, “The landscape is the grandest--And politics—the damnedest In Kentucky.” It’s a hard look that we must face at European settlers, frightened by differences in heritage, religion, and skin, unable to respect the beauty in other races. They did not understand the sexual orientation of God’s creation. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," wrote George Santayana. We romanticize the old days maybe because they are behind us and can no longer harm us. And from the good that was there, we build a better tomorrow. Here are five historical dramas of Kentucky: The Botanic Garden Horace Holly arrives in Kentucky with dreams to create his own university which is deemed to be the Harvard of the West. The faculty he chooses includes an eccentric European botanist who believes that every great university must have its own botanical garden. Dreams collide within the struggles between religion, government, and ambition. A play about Constantine S. Rafinesque and Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. Sabbath of the Soul Three weary travelers meet one evening at a railroad station awaiting arrival of the train carrying the one person most influential to them.

This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 1853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book of easy reading poetry that is meant for everyone's pleasure especially someone who likes a good rhyme. More importantly it has a bonus of having social stories in the margins of all the pages of poetry to help a developmentally challenged child understand what is in the text of the poem. Diane has found that social stories are very helpful in teaching her autistic child to understand concepts he may not otherwise be able to understand. These pictures and corresponding text would be a good way to pass on social skills to people like her child. She has found that social skills are at the very root and basis of a meaningful life and help enrich the learning experience. This has helped her child to understand difficult concepts and has worked well in conjunction with the medicine he takes from a well recognized physician. She wants to make as much of this new language as she can. This is her first book and hopefully the first of many.

Book excerpt: "Of Blood & Ink" is a journey of desperation creaking through the shadowy corridors of the human soul. Its uncompromising relentlessness, often times as beautiful as it is raw, will force you to navigate emotional terrain most people view with disdain; or at worst, simply ignore. Standing as a poetic assault on the human condition, social pressure, and the tragedy inevitably inherent with the empathetic neglect of human frailty, "Of Blood & Ink" ventures through the scarcely lit tunnel of youth as a journey to the coming of age, and arrives at the tunnel's end, bearing witness to the glorious sunrise that is human growth, as something more - a journey to the coming of life.
