Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people have the opportunity to pass on to those that follow what really happened in their lifetime. This is mine. Growing up in post-World War II times, I was raised to go to college, play all kinds of sports well, and become an all-around good citizen. In telling my story, I discovered that most, if not all, of my air force assignments and units no longer exist, meaning my children and grandchildren will have no idea what I went through in my lifetime except for what I have written here. I feel that this is not only my story, it's a history, as I lived it, from 1943 through 2016.

Download or read book The Romantic written by Barbara Gowdy and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2004-05-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The White Bone, a piercing novel of passionate attachment and of the fear and freedom of letting go Louise Kirk learns about love and loss at an early age. When she is nine years old, her former beauty queen mother disappears, leaving a note that reads only—and incorrectly—"Louise knows how to work the washing machine." Soon after, the Richters and their adopted son, Abel, move in across the street. Louise's immediate devotion to the exotic, motherly Mrs. Richter is quickly transferred to her nature-loving, precociously intelligent son. From this childhood friendship evolves a love that will bind Louise and Abel forever. Though Abel moves away, Louise's attachment becomes ever more fixed as she grows up. Separations are followed by reunions, but with every turn of their fractured relationship, Louise discovers that Abel cannot love her as fiercely and exclusively as she loves him. Only when she faces another great loss is Louise finally forced to confront the costs of abandoning herself to another. Skillfully interweaving the stories of Louise and Abel at different ages, Barbara Gowdy produces a powerful exploration of love's many incarnations: a motherless daughter who yearns to be adopted, a husband eternally linked to a wife who has left him, a girl bewitched by the boy next door, a woman who refuses to let go of a magnetic, elusive man. Haunting and profound, The Romantic is a story about love in all its exquisite variations.
