Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Last Giddy-Up is a tale of a young farm girl spirited away by a professional rodeo cowboy. Never being far from home and not realizing what her life was to be, she entered into the relationship with dreams of excitement and travel, only to be awakened to the knowledge she had married a bitter and sadistic man. The author weaves the reader through her childhood, experiencing an out-of-body episode when deathly ill, to twenty years of a turbulent life always hoping to redeem her cowboy. After awaking to the click of an empty cylinder on her husband's revolver, she finally comes to the conclusion she just couldn't make the marriage work. With the help of family, she escapes the physical and mental abuse, the danger and frustrations, to find her soulmate. Hiding at her sister's home and once again threatened, she manages to make it to divorce court. After her new marriage, the extended family comes into the picture, adding more love and support to her battered soul. With that redemption, she was able to obtain the dream she had always wished for. She had hung her head for twenty years, fearing to look anyone in the eyes. Charles would place his fingers gently under her chin, raising her face to his, saying, "Look up and see the light. You are as good as anybody in this world and better than most. I want to see you smile again." The story then takes you to the next phase, a time of joy and wonderful family relations, with gentle lovemaking and desires met far above expectations. As Charles's retirement came near, he had been experiencing a decline in health. A move to Florida and then back north to be closer to family after his first stroke. Salem, Missouri, became our home. Having become an LPN, I worked at the local hospital in a Birthing Center, and juggled my hours to accommodate the care of six registered quarter horses, five dogs, and six cats. I needed to be able to supervise Charles's medication. Coming home one morning, I saw him lying on the ground with his hands stretched out, near a farm gate. When I called out to him, he didn't respond. My heart was in my throat. I thought I had lost him. When I dived out of my vehicle and ran to his side, he looked up and laughed. "What is the matter with you? You look excited." I was furious. That was the only time in nearly thirty-one years that I was truly angry at him. Upon his final stroke and after being flown to Missouri Baptist Neurological Center in St. Louis, there were several red-tailed hawk sightings with spiritual purpose. Through those difficult hours, his children and myself stayed at his bedside. According to Charles's wishes, Chuck and I took his ashes to west Texas for distribution. As we threw his ashes to the wind, they seemed to glisten in the late afternoon sunlight as they were carried upward and out across the desert floor. A golden eagle flew under them seemingly to assist in the flight. We chugged down our cognac to toast a great man, a true gentleman.

Download or read book Giddy Up Eunice written by Sophie Hudson and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s easy for women to focus on what seems to separate us: differences in age, parenting styles, career goals, or maybe even core beliefs about whether leggings can adequately serve as pants (the struggle is real, y’all). The reality, though, is that we have far more in common than we realize, and since Scripture shows us the blessing of friendships across generations, it’s high time we step out of our same-age, same-stage silos. Life is so much better that way. Sophie Hudson, in the delightfully quirky Southern style her readers have come to know and love, sends out a rallying cry for women everywhere to open our eyes and see the people God has put in our lives—whether they’re behind us, beside us, or in front of us. It is such a gift to love one another, walk with one another, and soak up the blessings that flow across all generations. Saddle up, sister. This is going to be fun.

Download or read book The Last Road Home written by Danny Johnson and published by Kensington Books. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This novel is sure to join the rich canon of Southern literature." --Anna Jean Mayhew, author of The Dry Grass of August From Pushcart Prize nominee Danny Johnson comes a powerful, lyrical debut novel that explores race relations, first love, and coming-of-age in North Carolina in the 1950s and '60s. At eight years old, Raeford "Junebug" Hurley has known more than his share of hard lessons. After the sudden death of his parents, he goes to live with his grandparents on a farm surrounded by tobacco fields and lonesome woods. There he meets Fancy Stroud and her twin brother, Lightning, the children of black sharecroppers on a neighboring farm. As years pass, the friendship between Junebug and bright, compassionate Fancy takes on a deeper intensity. Junebug, aware of all the ways in which he and Fancy are more alike than different, habitually bucks against the casual bigotry that surrounds them--dangerous in a community ruled by the Klan. On the brink of adulthood, Junebug is drawn into a moneymaking scheme that goes awry--and leaves him with a dark secret he must keep from those he loves. And as Fancy, tired of saying yes'um and living scared, tries to find her place in the world, Junebug embarks on a journey that will take him through loss and war toward a hard-won understanding. At once tender and unflinching, The Last Road Home delves deep into the gritty, violent realities of the South's turbulent past, yet evokes the universal hunger for belonging. Advance praise for The Last Road Home "In this intense and well?written debut novel, Danny Johnson probes deep into the cauldron of racial relations in the 1960's South. The Last Road Home introduces an exciting new voice in Southern Literature." --Ron Rash, author of Above the Waterfall "In The Last Road Home, Danny Johnson evokes a South that in many ways may be gone, thank the Lord. Yet Johnson's compelling and heartfelt rendering of Junebug and Fancy couldn't be more charged and alive. The long dramatic arc of their deep and ever evolving relationship traces a time and a place giving way to change in violent fits and starts. Yet this is no sociological treatise. It's a flesh and blood story about two people, who risk just about everything time and time again, for nothing more and nothing less than to love each other." --Tommy Hays, author of In The Family Way "The Last Road Home took me straight into the heart of a wounded boy who becomes a complicated man. By the end of this stunning novel, I felt I'd come to understand humans better than I had before, how we come to be the way we are: tender and full of fury. I don't recall having such a reaction to a novel. Author Danny Johnson shrinks from nothing. I say: read it!" --Peggy Payne, author of Cobalt Blue "Johnson's moving novel beautifully portrays the ways in which his young characters struggle to overcome the history that has so fully shaped their lives." --John Gregory Brown, author of Decorations in a Ruined Cemetery
Download or read book In On the Joke written by Shawn Levy and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A sensitive and vivid study of early female stand-ups… [Levy is a] painstaking, knowledgeable guide.” —New York Times Book Review A hilarious and moving account of the trailblazing women of stand-up comedy who broke down walls so they could stand before the mic—perfect for fans of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Hacks Today, women are ascendant in stand-up comedy, even preeminent. They make headlines, fill arenas, spawn blockbuster movies. But before Amy Schumer slayed, Tiffany Haddish killed, and Ali Wong drew roars, the very idea of a female comedian seemed, to most of America, like a punch line. And it took a special sort of woman—indeed, a parade of them—to break and remake the mold. In on the Joke is the story of a group of unforgettable women who knocked down the doors of stand-up comedy so other women could get a shot. It spans decades, from Moms Mabley’s rise in Black vaudeville between the world wars, to the roadhouse ribaldry of Belle Barth and Rusty Warren in the 1950s and '60s, to Elaine May's co-invention of improv comedy, to Joan Rivers's and Phyllis Diller’s ferocious ascent to mainstream stardom. These women refused to be defined by type and tradition, facing down indifference, puzzlement, nay-saying, and unvarnished hostility. They were discouraged by agents, managers, audiences, critics, fellow performers—even their families. And yet they persevered against the tired notion that women couldn’t be funny, making space not only for themselves, but for the women who followed them. Meticulously researched and irresistibly drawn, Shawn Levy's group portrait forms a new pantheon of comedy excellence. In on the Joke shows how women broke into the boys’ club, offered new ideas of womanhood, and had some laughs along the way.
