Her husband is accused in one of the biggest heists on the East Coast, and she relocates her family to Five Island Cove–the hometown she hates. Her mother and brother live there, though Clara never dreamed she'd be returning to the cove. Not only does she find them waiting for her with open arms, but all of the women in her mother's circle are welcoming too. Clara and Scott have bought Friendship Inn, a hulking, close-to-condemned building with one hundred fifteen rooms. Neither of them want to run an inn, but with limited options, Clara rolls up her sleeves and digs in. Alice and Robin are dealing with their oldest children going off to college while AJ is celebrating her son's first birthday. Jean enjoys her Seafaring Girls, and Eloise is having the summer of a lifetime with her new family and busy season at the inn. As Laurel's due date for her first baby approaches, Kelli learns something she never thought would happen to her, all while Kristen is becoming friendlier and friendlier with a new gentleman in her fifty-five-plus community. Clara needs all of their help and support in order to rebuild Friendship Inn, and as all the women pitch in, there's so much more getting fixed up, put in place, and restored. Then a single phone call changes everything. Will these women in Five Island Cove rally around one another as they've been doing? Or will this finally be the thing that breaks them?

Book excerpt: Sometimes forgiveness of the past is the only way forward. At age 46 and after raising three boys, Julia Harper has just learned her husband no longer loves her and he's just been waiting for the children to become adults so he could leave. Hopeful, Julia applies for the job of caretaker at The Lighthouse Inn on the island of Nantucket. What she doesn't know is that her half-sister lives just across the sand from the inn. Janey Forsythe recently found out her biological father is Ryan Harper—who is also Julia's father. When she sees the brunette unpacking and introduces herself, Janey realizes who she is, panics, and gets out of there as fast as possible. She and her sister, Tessa, have stayed on Nantucket, hoping to build a new life for themselves after their dangerous summer cleaning out their mother's cottage. Madelynne Lancaster finds herself in a similar situation as Julia: newly divorced, with old money in her bank account but no one to spend it on. No children, no spouse, no friends to speak of, as they all left with her politician ex-husband. Bitter, Maddy also applies for the caretaker job at the inn. The two women are paired together to begin running the defunct inn, only the two of them knowing the bitter past that has separated them for over thirty years. When they come face-to-face at the inn on Nantucket Point, Julia and Maddy are horrified and dumbstruck—and bound together by their contracted commitment and the obstacles in their pasts. When Julia finds a picture of her father in an old scrapbook in the inn, she's horrified to see he's standing with a pretty woman...that's not her mother. More pictures lead her to Tessa Simmons and the cottage across the sand, where she learns more about her father, her half-sister, and that Riggs Friedman was never apprehended for his crimes over the summer, what his real name is, and that his sister is still missing after three decades... All of these lives tie back to The Lighthouse Inn, some secrets having been buried for decades. Can Tessa, Janey, Julia, and Maddy make sense of their complicated friendships, overcome the past, and solve the mystery before they get hurt?

Those are the only boxes Jennifer Golden needs to check to be eligible for a ticket on the Silver Sails cruise line. She's taken a few solo trips with women her age, and she knows how to pack what she needs for a 2-week vacation in a single carry-on. She's never done a cruise quite this long or quite this nice, but with her daughter now moved out of the house she's been renting from Jennifer for a decade, a son who's stopped talking to her, and the man she's been dating now out of the picture, Jennifer needs a break from real life. She flies across the country only to board a ship to sail back toward Five Island Cove. Robin doesn't understand what she's doing, but Jennifer has never gotten along all that well with her daughter. Maybe she was too controlling when Robin was a teenager. Maybe she treated her worse than her other children. She doesn't know, but she knows she needs to find a way to repair the relationship with her only child still in the cove. She doesn't expect to see Blanche Gibb on the ship, and she's shocked her college roommate and friend is even on a singles cruise. She discovers Blanche is healing after the sudden death of her husband, and she's come on the trip with her brother, Mitchell. Jennifer has met Mitchell before, but this time, there's sparks flying between the two of them, adding to the magic of the Panama sunshine, lapping waves, and endless drinks above the deck of Sweet Sea Dreams. She feels like she's fallen into a dream, but she still has familial relationships to repair, a friendship to nurture with Blanche, and a heart to heal before it can learn to love again...all before the ship hits land again.

Eloise Hall has reached a turning point: she either wants to marry Aaron or break up. Her scientific mind gets clouded by her heart, and she decides to quit her job at Boston University and move back to Five Island Cove to fix up and open The Cliffside Inn, a building she purchased decades ago on the rocky cliffs of Sanctuary Island.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sentimental, heartfelt….the exploration of Henry’s changing relationship with his family and with Keiko will keep most readers turning pages...A timely debut that not only reminds readers of a shameful episode in American history, but cautions us to examine the present and take heed we don’t repeat those injustices."-- Kirkus Reviews “A tender and satisfying novel set in a time and a place lost forever, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet gives us a glimpse of the damage that is caused by war--not the sweeping damage of the battlefield, but the cold, cruel damage to the hearts and humanity of individual people. Especially relevant in today's world, this is a beautifully written book that will make you think. And, more importantly, it will make you feel." -- Garth Stein, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain “Jamie Ford's first novel explores the age-old conflicts between father and son, the beauty and sadness of what happened to Japanese Americans in the Seattle area during World War II, and the depths and longing of deep-heart love. An impressive, bitter, and sweet debut.” -- Lisa See, bestselling author of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan In the opening pages of Jamie Ford’s stunning debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, Henry Lee comes upon a crowd gathered outside the Panama Hotel, once the gateway to Seattle’s Japantown. It has been boarded up for decades, but now the new owner has made an incredible discovery: the belongings of Japanese families, left when they were rounded up and sent to internment camps during World War II. As Henry looks on, the owner opens a Japanese parasol. This simple act takes old Henry Lee back to the 1940s, at the height of the war, when young Henry’s world is a jumble of confusion and excitement, and to his father, who is obsessed with the war in China and having Henry grow up American. While “scholarshipping” at the exclusive Rainier Elementary, where the white kids ignore him, Henry meets Keiko Okabe, a young Japanese American student. Amid the chaos of blackouts, curfews, and FBI raids, Henry and Keiko forge a bond of friendship–and innocent love–that transcends the long-standing prejudices of their Old World ancestors. And after Keiko and her family are swept up in the evacuations to the internment camps, she and Henry are left only with the hope that the war will end, and that their promise to each other will be kept. Forty years later, Henry Lee is certain that the parasol belonged to Keiko. In the hotel’s dark dusty basement he begins looking for signs of the Okabe family’s belongings and for a long-lost object whose value he cannot begin to measure. Now a widower, Henry is still trying to find his voice–words that might explain the actions of his nationalistic father; words that might bridge the gap between him and his modern, Chinese American son; words that might help him confront the choices he made many years ago. Set during one of the most conflicted and volatile times in American history, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is an extraordinary story of commitment and enduring hope. In Henry and Keiko, Jamie Ford has created an unforgettable duo whose story teaches us of the power of forgiveness and the human heart. BONUS: This edition contains a Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet discussion guide and an excerpt from Jamie Ford's Love and Other Consolation Prizes.

Download or read book The House of My Friends written by Eric James and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2005-01-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The House of my Friends is the nearest Eric James will get to an autobiography. He left school -in Dagenham, Essex- at fourteen, when the Second World War broke out, and went to work for seven years at a riverside wharf on the Thames where the Globe Theatre now stands. After ordination, he became chaplain of Trinity College, Cambridge, and thereby became associated with some of the most famous and influential clerics of his generation; Mervyn Stockwood, John Robinson (author of the bestseller Honest to God), Robert Runcie and Trevor Huddleston. James was made chaplain to H.M. the Queen in 1984 and was preacher to Gray's Inn from 1978-97, as well as Director of Christian Action from 1979-90 and one of the people who inspired faith in the City. James is now fellow of King's College London where he began his studies, at night school, in 1945. The roll call of people that Eric James writes about is astounding, always with wit and perception. He has broadcast regularly to millions of listeners on the BBC's Thought for the Day programme, and his strong social conscience breathes through the pages of this book. Eric James is the author of a dozen other books including the highly praised biography of Bishop John A.T. Robinson. His latest book is the self-portrait of a wise and much loved pastor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ***A USA Today Bestselling Book!*** ★★★★★"A beautiful story of brokenness, forgiveness, and second chances."" -- Reviewer If my mother thought that restoring the run down family inn would break me, she was wrong. The hardest part of falling in love with the small town of Magnolia and my grumpy handyman is knowing at some point, I'm going to have to sell the inn and leave. Maggie My ex-husband left me for my best friend. I’m 36, unemployed, and about to be evicted. My only option is to ask my estranged mother for help. She offers me a deal: fix up the run down family inn on the small island of Magnolia and any of the proceeds I can make off the sale, will be mine to invest. Determined to start believing in myself, I roll into town with an unhealthy amount of optimism. The only person who is going to stop me, is me. That is, until I meet my grumpy handyman. He has more walls built up around his heart than the three story inn I’m restoring, but I’m determined to break them down. Even if he’s determined to stop me. Clementine I meant to leave Magnolia at some point in my life. With a full ride scholarship to Juilliard, my dream was to dance. But Dad got sick and I needed to stay to run the local hardware store. Plus, there’s no way I can rely on my older brother, Archer, who can’t outrun the ghosts of his past. When Maggie blows into town, I can’t help but feel inspired by her desire to reinvent herself and when she asks for the local handyman, it becomes the perfect opportunity to provide Archer with purpose and perhaps, a little bit of sunshine. As our friendship grows, I realize just how much I needed a sisterhood. And when I catch Archer smiling, I realize that he needed Maggie as well. I just hope that when the time comes to sell the inn, Maggie fights to stay, because I’m not sure we could handle the heartbreak if she leaves. The Magnolia Inn will capture you from page one. It is a story chock full of friendship, laughter, and swoon-worthy romance. Don’t pass up this wonderful story. Grab your copy TODAY!

Download or read book BOOK of MEMORIES written by Winter Park Presbyterian Church and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Winter Park (Florida) Presbyterian Church approached its sixtieth anniversary, several events and activities were considered to appropriately mark the occasion. One of them was this “Book of Memories.” It is a compilation of stories contributed by current or former members and friends of the church, as they felt inspired, of their memories of our church since its inception -- an anecdotal view of its history. The cooperation of church members was wonderful! Nearly 100 stories were submitted, ranging in length from three lines to three pages. The project was a work of love and inspiration. There are fourteen subject sections: Buildings and Grounds, Christian Education, Compassion, Mission, Music, Preschool, Youth, Church Life Activities, Groups, Special Projects, Travel and Outings, Hurricanes, Personalities, and Personal Memories. Hundreds of photographs, past and present, are included. One elderly contributor passed away just days after reminiscing with a writer. The church cat, Patches, is discussed. The only surviving church member whose signature appears on the original charter wrote a story. Many references appear to the popular “Living Nativity” that is produced every Christmas season. The many stained-glass windows are described and applauded. And the personality of each writer comes through loud and clear. The reader will experience an enjoyable tour of the past sixty years of this ever-changing but still-thriving Presbyterian church.
