Book excerpt: In a tiny Texas town, the old folks were determined to trigger a population explosion! And sexy out-of-towner Jake Maddox was the answer to their prayers. No woman could resist his masculine appeal. Plus, he had "commitment" written all over him: a little boy to raise and a hankering to set down roots. A wife raffle was just the solution to their population problem. Except Mary van Doorn, the elected—only eligible—"intended," didn't cotton to that. With the responsibility of six younger sisters, she'd never known romance and wasn't looking for any. But relentless matchmaking, Jake's all-male pursuit and her own feminine need were a hard combination to resist in such a small town. She found herself wanting Jake and a life with him, but was she more than a convenient candidate for wife?

Book excerpt: While interest in migration flows is ever-growing, this has mostly concentrated on disadvantaged migrants moving from developing to Western industrialised countries. In contrast, Euro-American mobile professionals are only now becoming an emergent research topic. Similarly, debates on the connections between gender and migration rarely consider these kind of migrants. This volume fills these gaps by investigating impact of relocation on gender and family relations among today’s transnational professionals.

Download or read book Whose Choice Is It written by Dawill Estimable and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-01-25 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is divided in three important parts. Part one talks about God, devil, human, and choices. Part two talks about my biography. My biography reveals some of the reasons why I believe that we are who we are not by choice. Part three talks about the American justice system, and a law suit I filed on my own, against a bank. We say in America justice is for all! I say in America, the justice system is simply a little bit better than other places that Ive been. Ask yourselves, if the law is run by humans, and we know humans dont protect humans right. Humans only protect interest in human rights. How can justice be served to everyone when according to us there is no interest in everyones right? But, its all about perception. Like our God, everyone thinks the way they perceive God is the right way! It may be true according to them. Because, I read an anonymous quote that says, Everyone creates their own reality. As for me, I just order every fiber of my body to give glory to God for whom and what I am today. Who I am which resulting what I am today is all due to God. Because the LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. He has a heart for those of us who are nothing. He sees our needs, even before we ask for help. He blessed me even before I even knew him! He changes my messes in to messages. My biography in the middle of the book will tangibly prove my statement. You will learn about my existence throughout the book. Youll see why I am so in love with the Lord! Most of my siblings have been killed. My father has had 19 kids with eight mothers. Only seven of us remain alive. From 19 kids, he has had five with my mother with whom he was married. I was the first one, but the only one remains alive. See my biography for details. When we create something, we humans issue a manual that tells others how to manage it. The Lord gave the manual of life written with his hand. Thats the 10 commandment. The bible is the development of the Ten Commandments according to human perception. The bible is loaded with philosophy. My belief is whatever it is were doing, we are either inspired by Holy Spirit, or the devil. We say, Those who wrote the bible were inspired by God. The bible talks about the Lord, of course. The authors would have to be inspired by God through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit talks to us, through our perceptions. Im also inspired by God to write this book, because Im talking about God. If this book appears to be against the Lord, may he stop it now!

Book excerpt: In the New Republic, every woman must marry five men. It's the law. Welcome to the apocalypse. Nix never put his name in the marriage raffle for a reason. He doesn't need a woman. There aren't that many to go around anyway after a genetically engineered virus wiped out 90% of the female population. He has his job as head of the Security Squadron and it's all he need. He looks out for the township. He protects the few women there are left. But when his name is called to be one of the five husbands to the woman rescued from the badlands, he doesn't speak up to correct the error. Because Audrey's like no one he's ever met before. Fiesty. That's the name for her. Not like so many of the women they've brought back before. She's not broken. She might be just the woman to handle a rough, brutal man like him. Sharing her with four other men is a small price to pay. In fact, the closer they all grow, the more Nix realizes he might finally have again what he lost so long ago--a real family. But when outside forces threaten everything he holds dear, Nix will be forced to face his deepest, darkest fear. When Audrey's life is endangered, will he be able to save the woman he's just learned how to love?
