Download or read book Firefly Lane written by Kristin Hannah and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2008-02-05 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah comes a powerful novel of love, loss, and the magic of friendship. . . . now a #1 Netflix series! In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all—beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be: Kate, doomed to be forever uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped in glamour and mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her. They make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become TullyandKate. Inseparable. So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel. Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest, Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of two women and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives. From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television news that captivates her. She will follow her own blind ambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . . and loneliness. Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn't know is how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how she'll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she'll envy her famous best friend. . . . For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship—jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It's about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you—and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you'll never forget . . . one you'll want to pass on to your best friend.

Download or read book There s Magic All Around Us written by Michael Larson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have always wanted to be a journalist. Even as a boy, I would get my mother to drive me into town to pick up sheets of newsprint at the local weekly newspaper shop. Back home with these sheets, I would sit at the kitchen table or at the desk in my bedroom, creating newspapers and magazines. I wrote such scintillating prose as, "My grandpa tells me he can't let his sheep get sick. My grandpa says a sick sheep is a dead sheep." In some cases, I would make extra copies of my publications and send them to my aunts and uncles and suggest that they might want to subscribe-at a reasonable rate, of course.

Download or read book In Search of Bernardina written by Amadeo Hernandez and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Search of Bernardina: A Book to Make Think Bernardina Hernandez 1926–2001 Daughter of Andres and Viviana Guevara freshly arrived from Spain to start a new life in El Salvador in the early 1890s, Bernardina was married to Francisco Hernandez on March 15, 1952. They had four children: Julio, Manuel, Amadeo, and Modesto. In Search of Bernardina is a chronological narration of a series of events starting January 20, 2001. This book describes in specific detail the desperation and feelings of impotence felt by the author at having his mother go missing in a Las Vegas casino and the experience of not knowing who else to turn to after all avenues with local and state authorities in the state of Nevada and California were exhausted to no avail. This sad tale takes place after the author’s parents arrive from El Salvador to the United States to spend the holiday season in the city of Los Angeles, and it reflects the initial joys of a family reunion after decades apart as well as the pride felt by the author at finally being able to bring his folks to experience the wonders of this great country. After Amadeo Hernandez’s older sibling decides to take their parents for a weekend getaway in Las Vegas so they could enjoy what is known as fun capital of the world, things change at vertiginous speed to transform what was originally conceived as a pleasure trip into a macabre nightmare. Their mother disappears without a trace and never to be seen again at approximately four fifteen in the afternoon at the Nevada Landing Casino, located in the outskirts of the city of Las Vegas. This book takes the reader through the many possible theories of why this gentle elderly woman went missing, such as the possible overcrowding inside the casino, which prompted her to go outside for some fresh air and ultimately ended in her tragic loss. But mainly, it narrates the extensive yet unproductive search through shelters, churches, hospitals, morgues, and even various states. This book speaks of the heartless bureaucracy of having to wait twenty-four hours to get the police system into gear to look for someone, of being told of their mother’s disappearance three hours after the fact, and of the overwhelming sensation of knowing how the person who brought you into this world is somewhere out there—lost, alone, and confused—helpless. As the search extends throughout the states of Nevada, California, and even Tijuana and El Salvador, it takes the reader through the dark paths, which even prompted the author to pursue answers in unexplored venues such as psychics only to try and find an answer—any answer. Things he had never in his life considered before. More than a book, In Search of Bernardina is a diary of the anguish and desperation that filled the author’s every hour for several months, the tale of a struggle against a storm for a man to find his mother, a detailed narration of the days and the hours of pain, refusing to surrender in order to find his mother, who had gone missing in the desert.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historic District Action Guide: From Designation Campaigns to Keeping Districts Vital is a results-oriented, straight-talking guide for local activists, professionals, and preservation commissions committed to winning and maintaining local historic districts. Its political approach focuses on the crucial challenges of gaining and sustaining community and local governmental support for historic district regulations. This how-to guide gives citizens who are fighting to designate a local historic district the political know-how to win the support of fellow residents and city hall. Everything is here: learning to think politically, mastering the political process; planning and strategy; campaign organizing and leadership; framing a practical vision; anticipating and handling the opposition; conducting community meetings; skirmishing with property rightists; managing issues, petitions, and public opinion; dealing with public officials; strategizing for public hearings; and winning the vote for district designation. Once the vote is won, the Action Guide shows how to maintain momentum in their communities once the initial political campaign to win historic preservation designation has faded and the real work of enforcement begins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former CBS News correspondent Goldberg cites example after example of what he identifies as distorted reporting and asserts that these examples prove the pervasiveness of a liberal bias in the mainstream media. His credibility is diminished by a breathless, scattershot approach and sketchy documentation of examples (many taken out of context); but his points seem to be that attuned citizens will find such examples everywhere they look and that honest journalists should open their eyes. He includes a section of contact information for conservative organizations and think tanks.There is no bibliography. Annotation ¬2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
