Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A story in which anything and everything can happen, and mostly does. This is a book of many trips—across oceans, back to the past, and, most profoundly, into the infinite deep space of the human heart. Brock Clarke has given us a wonderful novel that bursts with all the meaty stuff of real life.” —Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk Calvin Bledsoe’s journey begins with the death of his mother. An internationally known theologian and an expert on all things John Calvin, she had been the dominant force in her son’s existence, so much so that he never left home—even when he married—and, as a result, never grew up. At his mother’s funeral, Calvin is introduced to his aunt Beatrice, a woman he had not even known existed. Beatrice immediately makes it clear to Calvin that she is now in charge of his life, and the first thing she is going to do is whisk him off to Europe with her for a grand adventure. As Calvin and his aunt traverse the continent, it becomes apparent that her clandestine behavior is leading him into danger. Facing a menagerie of antiquities thieves, secret agents, religious fanatics, and an ex-wife who is stalking him, Calvin begins to suspect there might be some meaning behind the madness. Maybe he’s not the person he thought he was? Perhaps no one is ever who they appear to be? But there’s little time for soul-searching, as Calvin first has to figure out why he has been kidnapped, why his aunt has disappeared, and who the hell burned down his house in Maine. Powered by pitch-perfect dialogue, lovable characters, and surprising optimism, Who Are You, Calvin Bledsoe? is a modern-day take on Graham Greene’s classic Travels with My Aunt, a novel about grabbing life, and holding on—wherever it may take you.

Download or read book Little Falls written by Joan Di Clemente and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOK DESCRIPTION From outward appearances, it seems like the Leo and Margot Lockhart family of Little Falls, New York, is a well-functioning and harmonious family unit. Yet upon closer inspection, each heart in the home harbors its secret of hurt, distrust, and disillusionment. Katherine Lockharts innocence and sensitivity as a child are ruled by the iron hand of her Irish mother, Margot. Fear of physical retribution controls Katherines defiance during her teen years, but her intellect resents and mentally argues with the humiliation and responsibilities heaped upon her as the eldest daughter of six siblings. Training for the nursing profession is Katherines salvation, and it is her ticket out of Little Falls, away from her controlling mother and alcoholic father. When the moment of truth presents itself, Margot fears exposure as a negligent wife and mother which resulted in Katherines childhood and future years being forever compromised and emotionally altered. Little Falls follows Katherine through the darkest tunnels in life as she rises above the rape, incest, bouts of depression, and physical and emotional abuse to experience the love and joy of family as a respected matriarch in her final years. *************** BOOK REVIEWS "The gift of learning from others is alive and well in this story.
