Download or read book Hand Me Down World written by Lloyd Jones and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-10-04 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a young African mother's journey to reclaim the infant son heartlessly stolen from her. Beginning in Tunisia, where she is employed as a hotel maid, the novel follows her as she makes an illegal, near-drowning crossing of the Mediterranean, then up the length of Italy, across the Alps, and on to Berlin, where her child has been given a new home. We learn the mother's story through the people she meets along the way, human links in the perilous chain of her journey: a taxi driver, a hunter, a snail collector, a street performer, a blind man. Most are generous, some malevolent, but all write their own deeply personal needs on the nearly blank slate of a mother whose needs are greatest of all. Finally, the woman herself picks up the narration, re-telling her story in her own words. And only then do we understand the extent of the sacrifice she has been willing to make for the love of her child. After eight novels, and following on the heels of his award winning, bestselling Mister Pip, Hand Me Down World confirms Lloyd Jones' stature as one of the most provocative and important writers writing today. Dazzling in its literary effects, powerful in its emotions, this is a masterwork of contemporary fiction.

Book excerpt: We love that we don't have to live an average life. Living as God's children is every bit an adventure! One highlight was when my husband became a self-employed daddy. A long period ensued without income, a mortgage, bills, and God. But, God was enough. The miracles began-including divine money deposits-and we never paid a bill late! In fact, God has continued to bless our lives as we put Him first. He taught us about commandments, tithing, and attitudes. He usurped the doctor's plan to remove gills from our baby, guided us away from professional boxing, showed us what marriage and parenting are really about, demonstrated the power in Jesus' blood, and much more. It's a great blessing to have these wonderful memories. I have no doubt He craves an intimate relationship with you, too. Remember, God loves you-right now-and wants to do great things through you!

Book excerpt: Finalist for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel, Harlan Coben meets early Dennis Lehane in this “smashing debut thriller” (Chicago Tribune), set in a small northern Michigan town by a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist. In the dead of a Michigan winter, pieces of a snowmobile wash up near the crumbling, small town of Starvation Lake—the same snowmobile that went down with Starvation’s legendary hockey coach years earlier. But everybody knows Coach Blackburn's accident happened five miles away on a different lake. As rumors buzz about mysterious underground tunnels, the evidence from the snowmobile says one thing: murder. Gus Carpenter, editor of the local newspaper, has recently returned to Starvation after a failed attempt to make it big at the Detroit Times. In his youth, Gus was the goalie who let a state championship get away, crushing Coach's dreams and earning the town's enmity. Now he's investigating the murder of his former coach. But even more unsettling to Gus are the holes in the town’s past and the gnawing suspicion that those holes may conceal some dark and disturbing secrets—secrets that some of the people closest to him may have killed to keep.
