Book excerpt: Following a layoff from a corporate job, Will finds himself now entering a meditative stage when he would take stock of his life and examine where he would go from there. He would find it to be an excellent period in which to sort things out, make plans, decide what he really wanted, and then take action. He would fight to keep busy in order to refrain from negative thinking. And despite losing his significant other when she decides to take a walk on the wild side, encountering a woman who fleeces him, being forced into yet another corporate job and losing the confidence of a potential mentor when his wife becomes ill, coupled with the illness of his prime counseling advisor, he vows not to focus on the faults of other people or engage in judgmental behavior. He finds his calling as a counselor in a high school, where he would take the opportunity to guide young men and women into leading productive lives. He would attend to matters such as keeping a couple of young men from the pitfalls of gangs and drugs, and becomes an accidental activist when confronted with beaucratic limitations, all the while listening to the viewpoints and opinions of others which would help him learn more about the people he was dealing with.

Rose wanted nothing more than to open a café in her uncle’s building. But her uncle’s will is clear – the building goes to Rose’s husband. Not to her. Then, his lawyer, Jack, offers an unusual solution… she can marry him. She’ll get the café and he’ll get the building. For some reason, Rose agrees. It might be a marriage of convenience but it’s anything but simple. Despite it being his idea, Jack is unbearably surly... But then he does something that shows Rose he might just have a softer side. Maybe love can start with a contract… but will Rose still feel that way when she learns the full terms of their deal?

Download or read book Shout Her Lovely Name written by Natalie Serber and published by HMH. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short stories that are “achingly true to life when it comes to the many ways mothers and daughters grow together and apart, over and over again” (O, The Oprah Magazine). “Mothers and daughters go at it in the way only mothers and daughters can, with full hearts and claws out, in Natalie Serber’s funny, bittersweet collection” of short fiction named a New York Times Notable Book (Vanity Fair). In a battle between a teenager and her mother, wheat bread and plain yogurt become weapons. An aimless college student, married to her much older professor, sneaks cigarettes while caring for their newborn son. On the eve of her husband’s fiftieth birthday, a pilfered fifth of rum, an unexpected tattoo, and rogue teenagers leave a woman questioning her place. And in a suite of stories, we follow capricious, ambitious single mother Ruby and her cautious, steadfast daughter, Nora, through their tumultuous life—stray men, stray cats, and psychedelic drugs—in 1970s California. “The characters are irresistible . . . Serber writes with exquisite patience and sensitivity, and is an expert in the many ways that love throws people together and splits them apart, often at the same time.” —TheWall Street Journal “From its first page, Serber’s debut collection plunges us into the humid heat and lightning of a perfect storm: that of American mothers and daughters struggling for power, love, meaning, and identity. . . . Serber’s writing sparkles: practical, strong, brazenly modern, marbled with superb descriptions.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Mothers and daughters burst from these pages in stories about food, boyfriends, birthdays, husbands and more.” —Houston Chronicle “In the tradition of Lorrie Moore and Tobias Wolff, Natalie Serber’s stories uncover the secret hearts of seemingly ordinary people. Funny, heart-felt, and keenly perceptive, this is a book worth shouting about.” —Dan Chaon, author of If I Loved You I Would Tell You This
