Catching the eye of Will, a young waiter at Letts restaurant, she strikes it lucky – Will is desperate to make her acquaintance and persuades the head chef to take Mary on in the kitchen. But it is not only Will who takes an interest in Mary. Henry Lett, son of the restaurant’s owner, is intrigued by Mary’s mysterious beauty and promotes her to an office job. But before he can make a move, his younger brother enters the scene. Charming, irresponsible Geoffrey, with film-star looks and money to burn, seems to have everything a girl on the brink of womanhood could desire. With three men vying for her attention, which will she choose? Affairs of the Heart: Mary has been struggling since the death of her baby daughter. Her husband cannot understand why she finds it so difficult to let go of the memory of their child and seeks solace elsewhere. In an effort to forget his feelings for Mary, Henry Lett marries another woman. Meanwhile, Will considers marriage to be out of the question. When it becomes clear that Mary’s marriage has hit the rocks, both Henry and Will are presented with another chance at happiness, but are either of them able to take it? Echoes of the Past: When Henry Lett dies, he leaves a restaurant that is far from thriving. His nephew, Edwin, is loath to see the once-famous Letts pass out of the family’s hands, and he persuades his aunt to sell her shares and give him a chance to get the restaurant back on its feet. As Edwin prepares to marry Helen, the lovely young daughter of restaurant manager, William Goodridge, it seems everything has fallen into place. But the flame of attraction between Helen and Hugh, Edwin’s cousin, simmers in the background. A fearful Will watches over the trio, waiting and wondering when to reveal a secret that will reopen old wounds...

Book excerpt: Ken Follett's extraordinary historical epic, the Century Trilogy, reaches its sweeping, passionate conclusion. In Fall of Giants and Winter of the World, Ken Follett followed the fortunes of five international families—American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh—as they made their way through the twentieth century. Now they come to one of the most tumultuous eras of all: the 1960s through the 1980s, from civil rights, assassinations, mass political movements, and Vietnam to the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, presidential impeachment, revolution—and rock and roll. East German teacher Rebecca Hoffmann discovers she’s been spied on by the Stasi for years and commits an impulsive act that will affect her family for the rest of their lives. . . . George Jakes, the child of a mixed-race couple, bypasses a corporate law career to join Robert F. Kennedy's Justice Department and finds himself in the middle of not only the seminal events of the civil rights battle but a much more personal battle of his own. . . . Cameron Dewar, the grandson of a senator, jumps at the chance to do some official and unofficial espionage for a cause he believes in, only to discover that the world is a much more dangerous place than he'd imagined. . . . Dimka Dvorkin, a young aide to Nikita Khrushchev, becomes an agent both for good and for ill as the United States and the Soviet Union race to the brink of nuclear war, while his twin sister, Tanya, carves out a role that will take her from Moscow to Cuba to Prague to Warsaw—and into history.

Download or read book The Ianto Trilogy written by John Russell Herbert and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a work of pure fiction, deeply subjectivist. It is comprised of elements having been copyrighted earlier, some of which have been put out using my former pen name "Ianto Griffeth". The Song of Ianto: Internal Exile of the Exposed Unknown, was actually the first-completed of the three novellas. Due to the despair and sin found therein, the "sequel", An Insurrection of Gods: Ianto's Redemption, took on that motif, that of "redemption". All these works undulate between a flat sort of existentialism and deeply inspired metanarrative. The "late-completed prequel", Prelude: Ianto's Montage of Dreams, was something I put together using very early writing juxtaposed with brand new material, some chronologically fitting, within the fictitious biography of the protagonist, some consciously "a-chronological", all this having to do with subjectivism, and metanarrative.

Download or read book Bad Girls Don t Die written by Katie Alender and published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2010-06-22 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning, spine-chilling young adult murder mystery about surviving the ghosts around us. Alexis thought she led a typically dysfunctional high school existence. Dysfunctional like her parents' marriage. Or her doll-crazy twelve-year-old sister, Kasey. Or even like her own anti-social, anti-cheerleader attitude. When a family fight results in some tearful sisterly bonding, Alexis realizes that her life is creeping from dysfunction into danger. Kasey is acting stranger than ever: her blue eyes go green, sometimes she uses old-fashioned language, and she even loses track of chunks of time, claiming to know nothing about her strange behavior. Their old house is changing, too. Doors open and close by themselves. Water boils on the unlit stove, and an unplugged air conditioner turns the house cold enough to see their breath in. Alexis wants to think that it's all in her head, but soon, what she liked to think of as silly parlor tricks are becoming life-threatening: to her, her family, and to her budding relationship with the class president. Alexis knows she's the only person who can stop Kasey—but what if that green-eyed girl isn't even Kasey anymore?
