Download or read book Firefly Lane written by Kristin Hannah and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2008-02-05 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah comes a powerful novel of love, loss, and the magic of friendship. . . . now a #1 Netflix series! In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all---beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be: Kate, doomed to be forever uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped in glamour and mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her. They make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become TullyandKate. Inseparable. So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel. Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest, Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of two women and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives. From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television news that captivates her. She will follow her own blind ambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . . and loneliness. Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn't know is how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how she'll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she'll envy her famous best friend. . . . For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship---jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It's about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you---and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you'll never forget . . . one you'll want to pass on to your best friend.

Book excerpt: Bridges to the Past is an anthology of short stories involving Appalachian Mountain humor and serious events that profoundly affected the life of a boy and influenced him prodigiously as an adult. Chapter I, "The Whimper Carter Tales" portrays, in a vivid manner, the art of storytelling. It brings the reader vis-a-vis with Winfrey "Whimper" Carter who epitomized Appalachian storytelling and imagination. Imagine a preacher re-learning profanity because a lawnmower will not start. Alternatively, a teenager thinking a snake bites him when he was actually shot. Humor is to life what blood is to the heart, and Chapter I contains a huge dose of humor. In addition, it's interspersed with historical facts which provide interesting reading. Chapter II, "A Lad's Heroes" is a poignant true story of a small boy who develops a her worship for two older cousins who served with Airborne units in World War II. This hero worship leads the lad into the United States Army and the Airborne. He, too, becomes a paratrooper as a memorial to his relatives, one who was killed in action at the Battle of the Bulge. It is a story that any combat veteran or those interested in military history will enjoy. Chapter III, "A Towheaded Boy and a Fifty-Dollar Rooster" is an equally emotional story that contains some levity. This chapter describes the love and devotion that can develop between a boy and his pets. it further denotes how experiences in childhood may affect a person for life. Chapter IV, "The Day of the Sermon" is a fictional account of a historical episode that shows the suffering of slaves in the ante-bellum South without being academic. It also deals with a devout preacher having the courage to challenge the slave holders in his congregation to determine a way to free those in bondage. Chapter IV invites people to examine the memories of slavery and its effect on this nation. Chapter V, "The Taking of a Deer" is a serious historical fiction account based on a true story of an underdog who was defended in court, gratis, by a wealthy and influential lawyer who once served as a Governor of Tennessee. It demonstrates that the laws of God and commons sense can prevail over laws and justice can be served to the underprivileged. Chapter VI, "The Uncle Cad Tales" depicts humans as they actually exist. This entire chapter consists of humorous tales spoken by a real character who has never received any attention other than through those who have known him. Overall, Bridges is a book that will be enjoyable to people of both sexes and all ages. Everyone, regardless of social status, will find something in Bridges that is fulfilling. It is down-to-earth and involves people who are not rich or famous, but who are very entertaining.

Download or read book Hawaii Place Names written by John R. K. Clark and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2003-05-14 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his latest book, John Clark, author of the highly regarded "Beaches of Hawaii" series, gives us the many captivating stories behind the hundreds of Hawaii place names associated with the ocean--the names of shores, beaches, and other sites where people fish, swim, dive, surf, and paddle. Significant features and landmarks on or near shores, such as fishponds, monuments, shrines, reefs, and small islands, are also included. The names of surfing sites are the most numerous and among the most colorful: from the purely descriptive (Black Rock, Blue Hole) to the humorous (No Can Tell, Pray for Sex). Clark began gathering information for the "Beaches" series in 1972, and during the years that followed interviewed hundreds of informants, many of them native Hawaiians, and consulted dozens of Hawaiian reference books, newspapers, and maps. A significant amount of the oral history he collected was unrecorded and remained only in his notebooks and memory. Hawaii Place Names: Shores, Beaches, and Surf Sites is the final result of those years of research, and like its popular predecessors, it benefits substantially from Clark's having spent a lifetime surfing and swimming Hawaii's beaches. Presented in the same convenient format as Pukui, Elbert, and Mookini's Place Names of Hawaii (UH Press, 1974) this rich compendium of information on Hawaii's surf, shore, and beach sites will satisfy visitors and residents alike.
