Download or read book Frozen Dinners written by Elaine Ambrose and published by BrownBooks.ORM. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning memoir about how one girl grew up while her father chased the American Dream across the country during the mid-twentieth century. After World War II, the United States evolved economically through an explosive combination of opportunities, entrepreneurs, and growing industries. By 1954, families began to enjoy the new pastime of evening television and increased the demand for a new product known as frozen TV dinners. A poor father and farmer from Wendell, Idaho, had the audacity and vision to start his own trucking company to haul and deliver frozen food across the country—and subsequently built an impressive fortune that included several successful businesses. Elaine Ambrose, a bestselling author, departs from her award-winning humor to show life as this man’s daughter. She chronicles the struggles her family experienced under the strain of an absent father and describes the high tensions and familial rivalries that arose after his untimely death. Using actual courtroom transcripts, she tells of the brutal legal battle that propelled her mother into dementia. She hopes to offer hope and inspiration to others who endured a contaminated family story to prove that anyone may grow beyond painful memories and find success, happiness, and warmth for themselves. Winner of 2019 Distinguished Favorite for Memoir from the Independent Press Awards Praise for Frozen Dinners “This tell-all memoir . . . will resonate with anyone who has endured family dysfunction and will defrost the hearts of readers everywhere.” —Joely Fisher, actress, singer, and author of Growing Up Fisher “Clear-eyed, evenhanded, concise, and loaded with fascinating details about the struggles and joys of growing up female in the fifties and sixties.” —Booklist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This digital boxed set includes books in the Midlife Magic in Eden Valley series, more than 600 pages of paranormal romance, puns, gods, demons, angels, and supernatural mysteries. Match Made in Hell: Evelyn Addams is fresh off a divorce and ready to kick up her heels. A fling with the sexy-as-hell Luc Morgenstern fits the bill perfectly. Luc was supposed to be her rebound guy, nothing more than a second notch on her bedpost, but somewhere between the first night they met and the end of the summer, Evie did something she’d promised herself she wouldn’t do. She caught feelings. Raising a Demon: Being a single mother has its challenges, but Evie never imagined that “the talk” would involve Ouija boards and pentagrams. Evelyn Addams is forty-three and fabulous. She has a great kid, fantastic friends, and doesn’t need a man to complete her. But when she catches ten-year-old Lily summoning a demon to ask for birthday wishes—and the demon who turns up is Evie’s summer fling from eleven years ago—her comfortable life is shattered. Fall From Grace: One last, perfect summer—that’s what Grace Kane and her best friend Hope promised each other. Grace has just graduated from high school and wants nothing more than to get as far away from Eden Valley and her overbearing older sister as possible. But when Hope’s head is turned by a handsome man, Grace is left watching life from the sidelines as her perfect summer slips away. Enter Quinn, the hot as hell newcomer to Eden Valley who only has eyes for Grace. Devil and the Deep Blue Lake: Genevieve Kane is happy in Seattle and is in no way concerned about the demon brand that appeared last year nor the painful—and painfully accurate—premonitions that have plagued her ever since. And she definitely isn’t longing for Sam, the sexy demon with whom she’d had a fling on her last trip. But distance doesn’t stop the visions, and all signs point to Viv being the only one who can save Eden Valley from the insatiable hunger hiding in the lake’s icy depths.
Download or read book The Prohibition Hangover written by Garrett Peck and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-03 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirits are all the rage today. Two-thirds of Americans drink, whether they enjoy higher priced call brands or more moderately priced favorites. From fine dining and piano bars to baseball games and backyard barbeques, drinks are part of every social occasion. In The Prohibition Hangover, Garrett Peck explores the often-contradictory social history of alcohol in America, from the end of Prohibition in 1933 to the twenty-first century. For Peck, Repeal left American society wondering whether alcohol was a consumer product or a controlled substance, an accepted staple of social culture or a danger to society. Today the legal drinking age, binge drinking, the neoprohibitionist movement led by Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the 2005 Supreme Court decision in Granholm v. Heald that rejected discriminatory curbs on wine sales, the health benefits of red wine, advertising, and other issues remain highly contested. Based on primary research, including hundreds of interviews with those on all sidesùclergy, bar and restaurant owners, public health advocates, citizen crusaders, industry representatives, and moreùas well as secondary sources, The Prohibition Hangover provides a panoramic assessment of alcohol in American culture. Traveling through the California wine country, the beer barrel backroads of New England and Pennsylvania, and the blue hills of Kentucky's bourbon trail, Peck places the concerns surrounding alcohol use within the broader context of American history, religious traditions, and governance. Society is constantly evolving, and so are our drinking habits. Cutting through the froth and discarding the maraschino cherries, The Prohibition Hangover examines the modern American temperament toward drink amid the $189-billion-dollar-a-year industry that defines itself by the production, distribution, marketing, and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
