Book excerpt: SHE CAN'T GIVE HIM THE COLD SHOULDER FOREVER... Melissa Martin isn’t a fan of cold weather, but if dealing with snow means she gets her dream job, she’ll suffer through it. After years of working as a news reporter in Kansas, she’s finally landed a coveted anchor position at a Minnesota news station. There’s just one problem—the meteorologist she’ll be working with is her ex-fiancé. Arthur “Tripp” Bartlett III believes it’s fate that Melissa is in Minnesota. Years ago, he broke her heart when he left on their wedding day. Since then, he’s matured and is ready for a relationship now, but Melissa’s not about to let him back into her life, let alone her bed. But Tripp is persistent. He asks Melissa to give him until Valentine’s Day to prove to her that he’s changed. He’ll show her that winter in Minnesota can be fun, and hopefully by February, she’ll realize they’re still good together. Melissa isn’t sure that anything involving snow could be enjoyable, but she owes it to herself to see if she and Tripp might have a future. When Melissa rides out a blizzard with Tripp, ignoring her feelings might be near impossible. But Melissa wants a commitment, and if Tripp isn’t ready to give her that, she risks getting her heart broken again. WHEN THE ICE MELTS is the second story in the Storm Series, but it can also be read as a standalone novel.

Jen's estranged father knew exactly where she was- but he was determined to keep Darlene and his own secrets well hidden. Only one other person-Jen-knew her father's dark and destructive nature. Since she was a child, she'd experienced his cruelty firsthand when her father tried to break her down, but his ruthlessness had the opposite effect: she blossomed into the type of strong woman he hated. As an adult, Jen flourished when she left her parental home. But her need to protect her fragile mother from her father's tyranny kept Jen returning to harm's way. With no one willing to help, would Jen's dogged loyalty to her mother cost both women their mental health? Or would Jen finally submit to her father's will and end her desperate search before discovering her mother's true fate?

Download or read book Rockaway Memories written by Joseph Daniel Murphy and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-11 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rockaway Memories: Growing up in Rockaway Beach, Long Island By: Joseph Daniel Murphy A national treasure of family life on Rockaway Beach, Long Island in the 1920’s – 1930’s through WWII. A captivating story written by Joseph Daniel Murphy, a WWII naval officer. Life lessons about family, compassion, faith, determination, and survival—from a member of the “Greatest Generation”. A deeply personal story of one young man growing up in the early 1920’s and 1930’s in the Belle Harbor section of Rockaway Beach, Long Island. Life was dramatically different than the hustle and bustle of families living in New York City which was just thirty miles away. In the remote location of the Long Island Peninsula and Belle Harbor, very few families had automobiles and public transportation was a long and time-consuming process. As a result, people didn’t leave their small neighborhoods or their Atlantic Ocean playground very often. Everyone watched out for one another and took care of each other. Growing up in Rockaway in the 1920’s-1930’s provides the framework of what helped shape and build the gentlemen and officer Joseph would become. It is a self-written memoir of essential life lessons of family, community, service, and survival during a period of history that challenged America’s grit and produced the “Greatest Generation”. The ‘Great Depression’ was an economic challenge to every American. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal helped rebuild America, and his ‘Fireside Chats’ calmed everyone’s fears and gave the American people a reason to believe that life would become better with new opportunity. A resident of Long Island, and one of three boys, Joe fondly recalls his life and the best of times growing up in Belle Harbor. This is a story of hardship and hope. On December 7, 1941, Japan launched a devastating surprise attack from the air and the sea on Pearl Harbor and initiated WWII. This event challenged every American to his very core. It was to become a time of service and sacrifice, with every American doing their part to support the war effort from home and abroad. Joseph D. Murphy at age twenty, served as one of the youngest commissioned Naval Officers aboard the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid in the United States Pacific Fleet during WWII. The USS INTREPID was the flagship of Task Group 38.2 led by Admiral William (Bull) Halsey. This treasured memoir is of Joe’s pre-war childhood on Rockaway Beach, Long Island through the end of WWII.

Download or read book Crushing It written by Erin Becker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From debut author Erin Becker comes an action-packed but tender novel about first romance, queer identity, and learning how to be brave when it matters the most. On the soccer field, Magic Mel is in her element. She’s ready to lead her team to victory at the city championship in her new role as captain. Off the field, however, is a totally different story. Mel can’t get a handle on her class presentation, her friend group has completely dissolved, and her ex-friend-current-teammate, Tory, is being the worst. The only place she feels like herself is in her text conversations where she shares her secret poetry with BTtoYouPlease. Tory McNally, on the other hand, is keeping everything together, thank you very much. So what if her mom is more preoccupied with her craft projects and new husband than her, or that she’s down to one IRL friend because of annoying, overly peppy “Magic” Mel? She’s perfectly fine, and even when she maybe isn’t, she’s got NotEmilyD to text with. As the championships loom closer, everything around Mel and Tory starts to get more and more complicated: the dynamics on the field, the rift between their friend group, and, as they connect anonymously online, maybe even their feelings for each other . . .

Book excerpt: Kirkus Best Books of 2019 * Kids’ Indie Next Pick List * Bookpage Best Books of 2019: Middle Grade “Beautiful, mysterious and deeply satisfying.” —Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medal-winning author of When You Reach Me and Goodbye Stranger The world tilted for Elodee this year, and now it’s impossible for her to be the same as she was before. Not when her feelings have such a strong grip on her heart. Not when she and her twin sister, Naomi, seem to be drifting apart. So when Elodee’s mom gets a new job in Eventown, moving seems like it might just fix everything. Indeed, life in Eventown is comforting and exciting all at once. Their kitchen comes with a box of recipes for Elodee to try. Everyone takes the scenic way to school or work—past rows of rosebushes and unexpected waterfalls. On blueberry-picking field trips, every berry is perfectly ripe. Sure, there are a few odd rules, and the houses all look exactly alike, but it’s easy enough to explain—until Elodee realizes that there are only three ice cream flavors in Eventown. Ever. And they play only one song in music class. Everything may be “even” in Eventown, but is there a price to pay for perfection—and pretending? “Engrossing.” —New York Times Book Review “Enchanting, heart-rending, and bittersweet.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “An emotionally complex and wonderfully told story.” —School Library Journal (starred review) “Thought-provoking.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
