Book excerpt: CIRCLE of FRIENDS May the circle be unbroken… They'd been friends growing up on the small East Coast island of Harmony—Julia, Lauren and Cathryn, Amber and the others. Now one of them is dead, and Julia Lewis goes home for the first time in seven years. Julia's grief makes this a bittersweet experience. But coming home is also a chance to revive old memories and reconnect with her circle of old friends. And to fall—hard—for a Boston journalist named Ben Grant who now owns the island's weekly paper. Still, despite Julia's feelings for Ben, she can't accept his accusations about Amber's death—that is was murder, not suicide, and that Julia's friend, chief of police Charlie Slocum, ran a sloppy investigation. With his charming smile and awkward questions, Ben's causing all kinds of complications in Harmony's little world. And in Julia's…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of My Oxford Year, Julia Whelan’s uplifting novel tells the story of a former actress turned successful audiobook narrator—who has lost sight of her dreams after a tragic accident—and her journey of self-discovery, love, and acceptance when she agrees to narrate one last romance novel. For Sewanee Chester, being an audiobook narrator is a long way from her old dreams, but the days of being a star on film sets are long behind her. She’s found success and satisfaction from the inside of a sound booth and it allows her to care for her beloved, ailing grandmother. When she arrives in Las Vegas last-minute for a book convention, Sewanee unexpectedly spends a whirlwind night with a charming stranger. On her return home, Sewanee discovers one of the world’s most beloved romance novelists wanted her to perform her last book—with Brock McNight, the industry’s hottest, most secretive voice. Sewanee doesn’t buy what romance novels are selling—not after her own dreams were tragically cut short—and she stopped narrating them years ago. But her admiration of the late author, and the opportunity to get her grandmother more help, makes her decision for her. As Sewanee begins work on the book, resurrecting her old romance pseudonym, she and Brock forge a real connection, hidden behind the comfort of anonymity. Soon, she is dreaming again, but secrets are revealed, and the realities of life come crashing down around her once more. If she can learn to risk everything for desires she has long buried, she will discover a world of intimacy and acceptance she never believed would be hers.

Download or read book The Delivery Man written by Joe McGinniss and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-01-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A gripping literary thriller and an auspicious debut” set against the surreal excess of Las Vegas from the author of Carousel Court (George Pelecanos, author and award-winning writer/producer of The Wire). After attending college in New York, Chase returns to Vegas and is drawn into the lucrative but dangerous world of a teenage call-girl service with his childhood friend Michele, a beautiful Salvadoran immigrant with whom he shares a tragic past. Over the course of one extraordinary summer, they will confront the violence and emptiness at the heart of the city and their generation. At once stark and electrically atmospheric, horrifying and hopeful, The Delivery Man is an ambitious literary novel as well as a fast and absorbing page-turner—and a powerful indictment of a society in which personal responsibility has been abandoned, lust is increasingly mistaken for love, and innocence is an anachronism. “A dead-of-night story surehandedly told in a pared-down, teeth-bared style reminiscent of Joan Didion.” —Janet Fitch, New York Times–bestselling author of White Oleander “[A] brisk, bleak debut novel . . . offers unflinching glimpses at mores in free fall . . . searing . . . memorable . . . not for the faint of heart.” —The New York Times Book Review “McGinniss offers a fresh take on the seamy side of Vegas by focusing on the wasted lives of burned-out teens hooked on drugs and money.” —USA Today “It’s sex, drugs, and a slew of lost souls . . . engrossing . . . Could The Delivery Man be this decade’s Less Than Zero?” —Marie Claire “Grim, convincing, and compelling . . . The Delivery Man really delivers.” —The Washington Post

Download or read book Why Won t You Apologize written by Harriet Lerner and published by Prelude Books. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned psychologist and bestselling author of The Dance of Anger sheds new light on the two most important words in the English language, "I'm sorry," and offers a unique perspective on the challenge of healing broken relationships and restoring trust. Dr. Harriet Lerner has been studying apologies for more than two decades, namely, why some people won't give them. Now she offers compelling stories and solid theory that demonstrates the transformative power of making amends and what is required for healing when the damage we've inflicted (or received) is far from simple. Readers will learn how to craft a meaningful apology and avoid signals of insincerity that only deepen suffering. In Why Won't You Apologize? Lerner challenges the popular notion that forgiveness is the only path to peace of mind and helps those who have been injured to resist pressure to forgive too easily. She explains what drives both the non-apologizer and the over-apologizer, and why the people who do the worst things are the least able to own their misdeeds. With her trademark humour and wit, Lerner offers a joyful and sanity-saving guide to setting things right.
