Download or read book A DOOR TO THEIR HEARTS written by Jeannine Miceli Martin and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2018-07-21 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in a Sicilian family with most of its members born and raised in America, Jeannine was eager to grasp a deeper understanding of her true heritage, not the Americanized version. She’d known that her maternal grandparents, Giuseppe Ferro and Angela Luca, had immigrated to the United States to Waltham, Massachusetts, where her mother was raised, but she hadn’t known from where, why, or when they’d arrived. She’d begun her quest for answers on Ellis Island, and from there, her grandparents’ journey had become her journey as she’d traced their paths by going to Sicily herself to learn about their lives there and what made them leave. To her surprise, Jeannine found more than their childhood villages of Ucria and Bronte. She’d discovered more Ferro cousins in Ucria. When Jeannine found a door, she’d enlisted the help of the New England Historic Genealogical Society for a quick lesson in ancestry research, which led her as far back as her three-times-great-grandparents. From that point, she built her family tree and returned to her cousins in Ucria to experience her true authentic heritage. Through legal documents, she’d followed her grandparents and other Ferro ancestors who emigrated to Waltham with them and chronicled the changes in their family lives in America, not necessarily for betterment. She’d learned from medical transcripts of a dramatic twist in her grandfather’s life as a patient in an insane asylum. While Jeannine had opened the door to her ancestry, she’d bridged a gap between the Ferro family of the past and present and the miles between Ucria and Waltham.

To keep her power secret, she leads a quiet life as a healer on a remote mountain, content to help the people in her care and spend time with Ina, the mortal girl she loves. But Asra’s peaceful life is upended when bandits threaten Ina’s village and the king does nothing to help. Desperate to protect her people, Ina begs Asra for assistance in finding her manifest—the animal she’ll be able to change into as her rite of passage to adulthood. Asra uses her blood magic to help Ina, but her spell goes horribly wrong and the bandits destroy the village, killing Ina’s family. Unaware that Asra is at fault, Ina swears revenge on the king and takes a savage dragon as her manifest. To stop her, Asra must embark on a journey across the kingdom, becoming a player in lethal games of power among assassins, gods, and even the king himself. Most frightening of all, she discovers the dark secrets of her own mysterious history—and the terrible, powerful legacy she carries in her blood.

Within its pyrogem-laden cliffs, legend says the heart of the dragon god Drae keeps the island, and its occupants, alive. Loralee, daughter of Leogard's High Priestess Arianne, had no idea what she would face when she arrived by boat ten years ago and was left in exile.

Captain Igrorio Everlyn, known as Sir Robert, has faced battling the evils of Emperor Sarvonn's tyranny and the dark god Tyr's abominations. But none of that compares to the ten years of hell he's been without Loralee, presumed dead. One freak storm changes everything. Now the two of them must fight to reestablish the delicate balance of the island before the dragons take things into their own hands. Through it all, they discover the secrets that kept them, and their hearts, exiled for a decade.

Download or read book Hearts of Tabat written by Cat Rambo and published by WordFire +ORM. This book was released on 2018-05-20 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second book of The Tabat Quartet, Nebula award-winning author Cat Rambo expands the breathtaking story from Beasts of Tabat with new points of view as Adelina, Sebastiano, and others add their voices. Tabat is a world, a society, and a cast of characters unlike any you have read before. Fireworks. Riots. Rousing speeches. All markers of the vast societal upheavals taking place in the city of Tabat. But personal upheavals reflect the chaos. Adelina Nettlepurse, noted historian and secret owner of Spinner Press, watches the politics and intrigue with interest, only to find herself drawn into its heart by a dangerous text and a wholly unsuitable love affair with a man well below her station. The match offered by Merchant Mage Sebastiano Silvercloth would be much more acceptable, but Sebastiano is hampered by his own troubles at the College of Mages, where the dwindling of magical resources threatens Tabat itself. And worse, his father demands he marry as soon as possible. When Adelina's best friend, glamorous and charming gladiator Bella Kanto, is convicted of sorcery and exiled, the city of Tabat undergoes increasing turmoil as even the weather changes to reflect the confusion and loss of one of its most beloved heroes. Meanwhile the Beasts of Tabat—magical creatures such as dryads, minotaurs, and centaurs—are experiencing a revolution of their own, questioning a social order that holds them at its lowest level. But who is helping the Beasts in their subversive uprising? "a fascinating world of magic, intrigue, and revolution.”—Publishers Weekly on Beasts of Tabat

Book excerpt: In a world where the glow of digital screens has overshadowed the allure of bookstores, a hidden haven of wonder thrives against the tides of modernity. Nestled on a quiet city street stands "The Inkwell," a timeless bookstore untouched by the eroding forces of time. Its faded sign and inviting window displays conceal a secret both enchanting and extraordinary, a secret that waits patiently for the destined to unveil its mysteries. At the heart of this enchanting tale is Julia, a book restorer whose introverted soul finds solace amidst the musty volumes that grace her workbench. Yet, as she meticulously tends to the delicate pages of forgotten stories, little does she know that her own narrative is about to transcend the boundaries of reality and enter the realm of the extraordinary. Behind the creaking shelves and ink-stained counters, Daisy, the enigmatic proprietor of The Inkwell, safeguards a profound legend that whispers among the rows of books. Within the store's collection lies a subset of volumes imbued with magic, books that forge an unbreakable bond between the souls of two readers. Julia, ever the skeptic of fanciful tales, could never have fathomed that her life would soon intertwine with the very essence of this beguiling legend. On a serendipitous day, amidst a forgotten stack of dusty tomes, Julia's fingers chance upon a weathered manuscript that radiates an inexplicable aura. As she traces the faded words with her eyes, she becomes captivated by a love story that unfolds in an era far removed from her own, a tale spun by the hand of a charismatic writer named Paul Sinclair. Unbeknownst to Julia, this centuries-old manuscript holds a connection that defies the constraints of time and space, drawing her and Paul into a dance of fate and destiny. Across the ages, their hearts resonate, their souls entwining in ways that transcend the limits of reality itself, guiding them towards a love that only the world of literature could conjure. As their connection deepens, Julia and Paul navigate the intricacies of time travel and the enigmatic forces at play, all while uncovering the concealed perils that threaten the sanctity of their extraordinary bond. With Daisy, whose own past holds a tale of love and enchantment, by their side, they must confront an inscrutable adversary who seeks to exploit the power of the enchanted books for dark and selfish purposes. In a narrative woven with threads of love, magic, and the enduring power of literature, Julia and Paul will come to understand the true essence of devotion, the worth of sacrifice, and the timeless legacy of a love that transcends not only the written word but the very essence of existence itself. Dear reader, prepare to embark on a mesmerizing journey through the pages of "Ink and Intertwined Souls," where the boundaries of time blur, the palpable magic of words unfolds, and true love finds its place within the world of literature—forever inked upon the hearts of those who dare to believe in the extraordinary.
Download or read book The Heart of American Poetry written by Edward Hirsch and published by Library of America. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed poet and our greatest champion for poetry offers an inspiring and insightful new reading of the American tradition We live in unsettled times. What is America and who are we as a people? How do we understand the dreams and betrayals that have shaped the American experience? For poet and critic Edward Hirsch, poetry opens up new ways of answering these questions, of reconnecting with one another and with what’s best in us. In this landmark new book from Library of America, Hirsch offers deeply personal readings of forty essential American poems we thought we knew—from Anne Bradstreet’s “The Author to Her Book” and Phillis Wheatley’s “To S.M. a Young African Painter, on seeing his Works” to Garrett Hongo’s “Ancestral Graves, Kahuku” and Joy Harjo’s “Rabbit Is Up to Tricks”—exploring how these poems have sustained his own life and how they might uplift our diverse but divided nation. “This is a personal book about American poetry,” writes Hirsch, “but I hope it is more than a personal selection. I have chosen forty poems from our extensive archive and songbook that have been meaningful to me, part of my affective life, my critical consideration, but I have also tried to be cognizant of the changing playbook in American poetry, which is not fixed but fluctuating, ever in flow, to pay attention to the wider consideration, the appreciable reach of our literature. This is a book of encounters and realizations.”

Download or read book The Two Hearts of Kwasi Boachi written by Arthur Japin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The first ten years of my life I was not black.” Thus begins this startlingly eloquent and beautiful tale based on the true story of Kwasi Boachi, a 19th- century African prince who was sent with his cousin, Kwame, to be raised in Holland as a guest of the royal family. Narrated by Kwasi himself, the story movingly portrays the perplexing dichotomy of the cousins' situation: black men of royal ancestry, they are subject to insidious bigotry even as they enjoy status among Europe’s highest echelons. As their lives wind down different paths–Kwame back to Africa where he enlists in the Dutch army, Kwasi to an Indonesian coffee plantation where success remains mysteriously elusive–they become aware of a terrible truth that lies at the heart of their experiences. Vivid, subtle, poignant and profound, The Two Hearts of Kwasi Boachi is an exquisite masterpiece of story and craft, a heartrending work that places Arthur Japin on a shelf that includes Joseph Conrad, J.M. Coetzee, Kazuo Ishiguro and Nadine Gordimer.

Book excerpt: Often, there is emotional turmoil that erupts within the very essence of a woman’s being, yet so many women are unable to speak the words of their aching hearts. Hinemoa Pourewa is the poetic instrument of this pain. She is a voice, compelled to announce women’s silent fears. Through these pages, a hand is stretched out in earnest to hold, seek comfort, and above all, share truth. Pourewa’s poetry exhibits self-honesty and self-reflection. She faces issues that many women find too painful or even embarrassing to discuss. Yet, she finds the courage to share her struggles, in turn helping others in similar situations. A cry for sisterhood yearns to be heard so that a solitary voice may rise in unison. A pathway is lit, and a light-bearer rises out of the abyss to cry, “I am a survivor!”
Download or read book Their Daring Hearts written by Sharlene MacLaren and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Levi Albright rebelled against his Quaker roots to fight for abolition in the Union army in the first year of the Civil War. Two years later, 19-year-old destitute orphan Josephine Winters, with chopped hair, boy’s clothes, and new name, “Snipp,” enlists in the Union army out of sheer desperation. Just over five feet tall and barely weighing as much as a newborn calf, Snipp seems to Levi to be barely old enough to hold "his" gun. But despite being teased by the regiment, Snipp quickly earns admiration for skill with a musket and unequaled bravery. When Levi explains one night that he is a Quaker leading a regiment, it leads to a late-night discussion of faith and a developing friendship. But Snipp’s secret can only be hidden for so long. After an injury forces Josie to reveal her real identity, Levi is angered by her deception. Worse, Josie is marched out of the company without a chance to explain—or even say goodbye. Will their friendship survive? Or will the hatred saturating the war-torn nation affect even the heart of a peace-loving Quaker? // "Finely detailed secondary characters add realistic depth to the story, making the world where the Albrights live feel dangerous and alive. Fans of MacLaren will be delighted with this first book in the Forever Freedom series." —Publishers Weekly review of Summer on Sunset Ridge
