She could bring the mightiest scribes and the biggest egos to heel with the stroke of her famed red pen. However when the days of the well-crafted book at Stillwater went out of the window in favor of celebrity tell-alls and novels written by the latest neophytes du jour, Abigail packed up her red pen, moved onto greener pastures and started a successful public relations firm with her best friend, Shana Collingsworth. After seven seasons as quarterback for the New York Giants, Sam Best retired to focus on his legacy and build his future with his fiancée, Maria Carrangelo. So when he was offered a contract to write his life story, it was a no-brainer until he discovered putting pen to paper was harder than he thought. When his manager Reggie Shaw realized his client needed a life preserver he asked his friend Abby to un-retire her red pen to work with Sam. With an editorial deadline overhead, Abby and Sam work together. At first she's a taskmaster, but eventually Sam begins to see her as something more than a tough editor. She was a sexy woman. Soon Abby begins to see Sam as being different from what she expected in an athlete. He was warm, sexy and giving. As attraction turns into love, can they overlook the external and internal pressures in their lives to find happiness together?

Download or read book Perfect Madness written by Judith Warner and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-02-07 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively and provocative look at the modern culture of motherhood and at the social, economic, and political forces that shaped current ideas about parenting What is wrong with this picture? That's the question Judith Warner asks in this national bestseller after taking a good, hard look at the world of modern parenting--at anxious women at work and at home and in bed with unhappy husbands. When Warner had her first child, she was living in Paris, where parents routinely left their children home, with state-subsidized nannies, to join friends in the evening for dinner or to go on dates with their husbands. When she returned to the States, she was stunned by the cultural differences she found toward how people think about effective parenting--in particular, assumptions about motherhood. None of the mothers she met seemed happy; instead, they worried about the possibility of not having the perfect child, panicking as each developmental benchmark approached. Combining close readings of mainstream magazines, TV shows, and pop culture with a thorough command of dominant ideas in recent psychological, social, and economic theory, Perfect Madness addresses our cultural assumptions, and examines the forces that have shaped them. Working in the tradition of classics like Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique and Christopher Lasch's The Culture of Narcissism, and with an awareness of a readership that turned recent hits like The Bitch in the House and Allison Pearson's I Don't Know How She Does It into bestsellers, Warner offers a context in which to understand parenting culture and the way we live, as well as ways of imagining alternatives--actual concrete changes--that might better our lives.

Download or read book Breaking Point written by James Alan Anderson and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much abuse can the human spirit take before it either breaks free or simply breaks? Breaking Point, the fourth book in the Threefold Cord series, continues to explore this question and tells the story of the damage done to children raised in abusive cults. Twins Kevin and Robert and their younger brother Jonah had previously found permanent sanctuary as adopted sons in the loving home of the Adamson family. Danny and Matthew, two ten-year-old child refugees from an abusive fundamentalist sect, are recent additions to the family, and they have to deal with a number of issues related to their troubled past. Some of the more fanatical adherents of that particular sect, the Philadelphia Brethren, are furious with the Adamson family, especially Danny and Matthew, for speaking out against their church and influencing some of their members to leave. Now they seek revenge. Not only that, Matthew’s girlfriend, eleven-year-old Melissa, is still trapped in the cult. After having to endure years of abuse from both her deranged parents and the church, Melissa is nearing her breaking point. She can’t take much more. The boys and their adoptive parents search for ways to help Melissa, and a tense situation escalates further after the church holds “that troublesome Adamson family” responsible for even more defections from their congregation. The family is in danger, and soon the life of one young Adamson will hang in the balance. Set in the early 1960s in rural Saskatchewan, Breaking Point is not only an insightful look into the damage that can be caused by extreme religious cults. It is also a celebration of the power of an accepting and loving family and a nostalgic look at experiencing adolescence and young love in simpler times.
