Download or read book At First Sight written by Nicholas Sparks and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this #1 New York Times bestselling follow-up to True Believer, a young couple's love faces the ultimate test when the past disrupts the life and family they've built together. There are a few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: he'd never leave New York City; never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage; and, most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple's marriage. Dramatic, heartbreaking and surprising, this is a story about the love between a man and a woman and between a parent and a child. More than that, it is a story that beautifully portrays how the same emotion that can break your heart is also the one that will ultimately heal it. While the novel picks up the tale of Lexie Darnell and Jeremy Marsh that started in True Believer and will delight fans of that novel, it stands on its own as one of Nicholas Sparks's most deeply moving love stories.

In America, he finds himself working as a game warden in Ontonagon County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The cold winters and the deep woods of the Upper Peninsula suit John well. He is happy living and working in the forest. Things grow more complex for John when millionaire Jacob Greenleaf offers him a job as Chief of Security for the Green Leaf Wildlife Refuge. John works hard to turn Green Leaf into a model tourist attraction to help the local economy recover from the Great Depression, but soon learns that weapons have been disappearing from several cabins at Green Leaf. John's investigation of the stolen weapons leads him to Angus McVey, the man he replaced as Chief of Security at Green Leaf. McVey's family has a history of desperate poverty and was long oppressed by the Scottish gentry at their original home on the Isle of Skye. After a lifetime of anger and bitterness, McVey vows to take revenge on Jacob Greenleaf, the American equivalent of the gentry that held his family down for so long, and John Ziegler, the man who took his livelihood. McVey takes to the woods with a bow and arrows and stalks John throughout the forests of Green Leaf, bent on eliminating John. In George Nilsen's gripping novel, The Green Leaf Retrofit, John will have to call on all of his experiences and knowledge to rid Green Leaf of McVey so the resort can provide the economic boost the county desperately needs.

Download or read book Three Days in the Shenandoah written by Gary Ecelbarger and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battles of Front Royal and Winchester are the stuff of Civil War legend. Stonewall Jackson swept away an isolated Union division under the command of Nathaniel Banks and made his presence in the northern Shenandoah Valley so frightful a prospect that it triggered an overreaction from President Lincoln, yielding huge benefits for the Confederacy. Gary Ecelbarger has undertaken a comprehensive reassessment of those battles to show their influence on both war strategy and the continuation of the conflict. Three Days in the Shenandoah answers questions that have perplexed historians for generations. Bypassing long-overused sources that have shrouded the Valley Campaign in myth, Ecelbarger draws instead on newly uncovered primary sources—including soldiers’ accounts and officers’ reports—to refute much of the anecdotal lore that for too long was regarded as fact. He narrates those suspenseful days of combat from the perspective of battlefield participants and high commanders to weave a compelling story of strategy and tactics. And he offers new conclusions regarding Lincoln’s military meddling as commander in chief, grants Jefferson Davis more credit for the campaign than previous accounts have given him, and commends Union soldiers for their fighting. Written with the flair of a seasoned military historian and enlivened with maps and illustrations, Three Days in the Shenandoah reinterprets this important episode. Ecelbarger sets a new standard for envisioning the Shenandoah Campaign that will both fascinate Civil War buffs and engage historians.
