Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen, MISS DARBY'S DEBUT by Marilyn Clay is clean, sweet and wholesome. Tessa Darby was born in England but grew up in American. Now she's returned to England to escape the tyranny of a cruel stepfather and to try to reform the child labor laws of her birth country. The Earl of Penwyck is the very sort of influential gentleman Tessa hopes to meet. But a more top-lofty and self-righteous man she has never met! Lord Penwyck is having the devil of a time controlling the deplorable behavior of his mother's houseguest, the auburn-haired, spectacle-making young lady from America. The stubborn chit simply will not take direction and the last thing the aristocratic family needs is another scandal! Still, the earl has to admit there is something refreshingly tantalizing about a beautiful woman who is also principled and intelligent. But, he refuses to believe he is falling in love with the willful young lady, even if he continues to reflect on what a perfect countess she would make! "Another unusual plot from the talented pen of Marilyn Clay! I loved both Tessa and the Earl of Penwyck. Readers will laugh aloud at the dance lesson!" – Melissa Frederick.

Download or read book Darby written by Jonathon Scott Fuqua and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Darby's first-person narrative is frank and immediate . . . expressing what it's like for an ordinary white kid who suddenly discovers evil — and courage — where she lives." — BOOKLIST "From my back porch, I can see where my best friend lives. Evette’s tenant house sits on my daddy’s property . . . but on account of her being black and me being white, she hardly ever comes in my house, and I don’t go in hers. My daddy says that’s just the way it is." Darby Carmichael thinks her best friend is probably the smartest person she knows, even though, as Mama says, Evette’s school uses worn-out books and crumbly chalk. Whenever they can, Darby and Evette shoot off into the woods beyond the farm to play at being fancy ladies and schoolteachers. One thing Darby has never dreamed of being - not until Evette suggests it - is a newspaper girl who writes down the truth for all to read. In no time, and with more than a little assistance from Evette, Darby and her column in the Bennettsville Times are famous in town and beyond. But is Marlboro County, South Carolina, circa 1926, ready for the truth its youngest reporter has to tell?
