Though alcohol is her crutch and companion, it cant erase the memory of the summer of 1988 when she lost her innocence--and awoke to a scream. Tyler Beck is an intellectually gifted eighteen-year-old loner who has an invisible, magical cord above his right shoulder; he is also a former drug addict who was rehabilitated with the help of a counselor named Robie. After Robie dies, however, a distraught Beck exits his friends funeral and seeks refuge at the beachand in heroin. Their lives collide when Caterinas car strikes a trashcan that crashes into the semi-conscious Beck. When they both ask aloud for help, the grieving parts of themselves are transported to another dimension called 10-17. Caterina arrives in this dimension as her seventeen-year-old self, Cat, and there she meets Beck, whom she nicknames Ty. Once in this new world, set against a backdrop of Italy, they meet a Watcher named Miranda who tells them that they are in 10-17 for healing, even while their parallel lives are continuing on Earth. Miranda explains that the dimensions are spaced like slats on a window blind; she also tells the teenagers about a place called Thare, an Earth-like dimension populated by humans, but without suffering or addiction. While Beck readily embraces his love for the mature Caterina, she is conflicted over her feelings for a man half her age. Meanwhile, in Dimension 10-17, as Cat and Ty complete their lesson, they are torn over the choice that Miranda offers them: To go to the perfect world of Thare and leave the Earth and their families behind, or to return wholly to their Earthly selves...
Download or read book The House at Sugar Beach written by Helene Cooper and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalist Helene Cooper examines the violent past of her home country Liberia and the effects of its 1980 military coup in this deeply personal memoir and finalist for the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award. Helene Cooper is “Congo,” a descendant of two Liberian dynasties—traced back to the first ship of freemen that set sail from New York in 1820 to found Monrovia. Helene grew up at Sugar Beach, a twenty-two-room mansion by the sea. Her childhood was filled with servants, flashy cars, a villa in Spain, and a farmhouse up-country. It was also an African childhood, filled with knock foot games and hot pepper soup, heartmen and neegee. When Helene was eight, the Coopers took in a foster child—a common custom among the Liberian elite. Eunice, a Bassa girl, suddenly became known as “Mrs. Cooper’s daughter.” For years the Cooper daughters—Helene, her sister Marlene, and Eunice—blissfully enjoyed the trappings of wealth and advantage. But Liberia was like an unwatched pot of water left boiling on the stove. And on April 12, 1980, a group of soldiers staged a coup d'état, assassinating President William Tolbert and executing his cabinet. The Coopers and the entire Congo class were now the hunted, being imprisoned, shot, tortured, and raped. After a brutal daylight attack by a ragtag crew of soldiers, Helene, Marlene, and their mother fled Sugar Beach, and then Liberia, for America. They left Eunice behind. A world away, Helene tried to assimilate as an American teenager. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill she found her passion in journalism, eventually becoming a reporter for the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. She reported from every part of the globe—except Africa—as Liberia descended into war-torn, third-world hell. In 2003, a near-death experience in Iraq convinced Helene that Liberia—and Eunice—could wait no longer. At once a deeply personal memoir and an examination of a violent and stratified country, The House at Sugar Beach tells of tragedy, forgiveness, and transcendence with unflinching honesty and a survivor's gentle humor. And at its heart, it is a story of Helene Cooper’s long voyage home.
Download or read book Rachel and Annie written by Paul Seifert and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-08 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The front was rapidly approaching. Without batteries, the engine could not be started. Tom grasped his granddaughter's diminutive shoulder and drew her closer. "You saved my life. You know that, don't you?" Rachel said nothing. She seemed content with renewed contact with him. They both slept for a time, a consequence of sheer emotional and physical exhaustion. Tom awoke to find Rachel sitting propped against the mast pulpit watching him. Her face was no longer that of a young girl. A careworn, haggard pair of eyes peered from that face. Tom berated himself for inflicting such a brutal loss of innocence upon his granddaughter. Although his chest felt like it was filled with jagged glass, he was gratified to find he had much more strength in his right arm. He was now also able to move his legs. The time was late afternoon. A strange eerie quiet had descended upon the sea. The soft soughing of the wind in the rigging was gentle, almost harmonious in quality. The sky was overcast, but the fog had dissipated to wispy patches that seemed to waft over the boat like filaments of gossamer cotton. From his vantage point, Tom could see the swells receding into the distance like the hillocks of a Yorkshire moor. He thought about the ending of "Wuthering Heights," remembering the quiet sleepers there in the quiet earth. He envied them, for he sensed that the tranquil sea would not remain quiet long.
