She meets her dream man on a blind date set up by their siblings but thinks she should have stayed home. When he asks her to his company’s Christmas party, she agrees against her better judgment; she’s attracted to him despite all the reasons she shouldn’t be. Tony Alvarado has spent his life, ever since his marriage, building his accounting firm because his ex-wife nagged him constantly about money. When she divorced him, claiming he was always working, she took half his money, and his son. Now he believes women only date him because he’s rich. His reactions to Laura puzzle him, but he continues to see her because he can’t figure her out. Will the holiday season help them forget the liabilities and balance out the miracle of love in adding together two lonely hearts?

Download or read book Grace written by Elizabeth Nunez and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Justin Peters is a Harvard-educated professor of British and classic literature who reads Shakespeare to his four-year-old daughter, Giselle. A native of Trinidad and the product of a strict, English-style education, Justin and his focus on the works of “Dead White Men” receive little professional respect at the public Brooklyn college where he teaches. But whatever troubles he might have at work are eclipsed when he realizes his wife, Sally, has begun to pull away from him, both physically and emotionally. Harlem-born Sally Peters, a mother on the verge of turning forty, is a primary school teacher who believes that joy is a learned skill, and that it takes strength to be happy. After a life of tragic losses, Sally thought she had finally found that strength when she met Justin. But now, Sally wants something more. And Justin is angered by her uncertainty about their life and frightened by the thought that perhaps Sally never stopped loving the ex-boyfriend for whom she wrote fierce poems. Is he, Justin wonders, responsible for helping Sally find meaning in her life—a life that seems to him most fortunate? If Sally and Justin’s union is to survive, both must face the crippling echoes of their own pasts before those memories forever cloud and alter their future. Set in a snow-covered Brooklyn, Grace is a thoughtful and lovely meditation on trust, redemption, and family. Elizabeth Nunez’s delicate prose brings the struggles, aches, and tender moments of this contemporary urban love story into vivid focus. From the Hardcover edition.

Book excerpt: In the handsome room, softly lighted with shaded electric lamps, a man sat in a low chair, his legs stretched out compass-wise, his brow resting on his hand. He had the appearance of being asleep, save that every now and again the fingers pressing his brow pressed harder or were momentarily relaxed; he made no other movement: for fully half an hour he had not altered his pose. The only other occupant of the room, a woman, tall and slender, with a wealth of golden hair crowning her small head, stood at the long open window with her back to the room, her pose as still as the man's, but considerably less absorbed. The girl, she was little more than a girl, despite the five years of happy married life, and the tiny mite of four asleep in the nursery overhead, turned from the open window and the soft darkness of the summer night and faced the lighted room. So long the man had sat there silent, motionless, plunged in thought, that she had almost forgotten his presence in a pleasant reverie of her own till roused by the extraordinary quiet, as effectually as though recalled by some unexpected sound. She turned her head and regarded him with surprised, inquiring eyes.

Book excerpt: In 1895 Joshua Slocum set sail from Gloucester, Massachusetts, in the Spray, a thirty-seven-foot sloop. More than three years later, he became the first man to circumnavigate the globe solo, and his account of that voyage, Sailing Alone Around the World, made him internationally famous. But scandal soon followed, and a decade later, with his finances failing, he set off alone once more—never to be seen again. In this definitive portrait of an icon of adventure, Geoffrey Wolff describes, with authority and admiration, a life that would see hurricanes, shipwrecks, pirate attacks, cholera, smallpox, and no shortage of personal tragedy.

Download or read book Under the Spell written by John David and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Truth: our success in life is most heavily influenced by what we allow ourselves to think and believe, not by circumstances or conditions as we often assume. As a society, our notions of existence, of God (if you believe), of ourselves as physical beings, and of what success is, are distorted. We perpetuate the lie that personal success has to do with “achieving”. We are taught that in pursuing wealth and financial security or popularity and acceptance, we will become okay – when in fact it has the opposite effect. We place our trust in (worship) acquiring things, to be okay, to fill the emptiness inside, and give us a sense of security (money possessions, romance, acceptance, information – personal power), and as we either achieve or fail to reach our goals with these things, we are quietly (subconsciously) perplexed that they do not work. Our existence as a species, our identity, is one of the most important topics we could learn about, and yet it is so perplexing that most of us avoid thinking about it altogether. Every fear, every one of our destructive behaviors, all self-doubt, vanity, guilt, or emotional problems we have – all greed, pride, selfishness, violence, and misuse of sexuality, is directly tied to what we think and believe. An inner dialog of fear, unworthiness, abandonment, or shame can translate to debilitating defeat, because it’s not just thoughts and beliefs that paralyze a person, but changes in the blood chemistry throughout the entire body, within every cell. For you and I everything boils down to what we allow or disallow to shape our reality. This is where the ultimate use of free will occurs. This book explores truths, and some subtle but major misconceptions about existence, about who or what God is, about the principles that guide our universe, about humans in relation to all of it – and about perfect love. It looks at what science, psychology, and the Bible actually say about us, in contrast to the common notion’s society projects. What do you long for? • Do you want to feel complete and filled with purpose? • Would you like to live a balanced life, and have healthy relationships (with yourself, with others, and with money)? • Do you want serenity, peace of spirit, mental and physical health? • Do you want to love others well, and feel loved? There remains today a fog of deception across society that keeps us from clearly seeing the truth. My intention is to shine light on it, to show people some things they are not aware of, and how knowing it can make all the difference between being okay, and not being okay.

Download or read book But Love s Objected written by Joseph Dussourd and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-10-10 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "But Love's Objected" is a science fiction/fantasy novel by Joseph Dussourd which examines the practical and philosophical conflict that exists between debit- and credit-based economies as mining colonies are established on the moon, and as the middle class begins to colonize the solar system. "But Love's Objected" depicts these issues as a conflict of personalities between the two main characters, John Jake Jackson, and Richard Mendel Bellbridge, who are hopelessly deadlocked over the separation of church and state, and the value, cost and role of organized government as the earth-based economy faces collapse and as mankind begins to push out into the colonization of space. One will not survive this conflict. "But Love's Objected" is not a typical sci-fi adventure with aliens and ray guns and heroic humanoids; it addresses some of the most profound issues facing mankind as we enter the new mellinium.

Download or read book Love s Mystery Solved written by Joseph A. Smith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literally all healthy relationships will benefit by understanding and appreciating this historically first true clarification of love eliminating confusion over what it is and how to find and build upon it. This useful descriptive definition of love is invaluable for those interested in increasing the success of any relationship. One of a host of interesting insights is that genuine love is more than emotion. Janet Ackerman-Smith BSN, MA, MS During a fifty-year ministry this is one of my very few "absolute endorsements" because Dr. Joseph Smith has put together a manuscript of such thoughtful and practical concern. Most of the books on the counters of our local bookstores are not of the same caliber that he offers. Reading this manuscript was, for me, an adventure of discovery. I find his book not only fulfilling but exciting. The organization quickly brings the reader to an appreciation that "love defined" can really have an impact on not only the way we understand and then react with others, but how we may do this responsibly. This is the secret genius of this book Reverend William J. Murphey
