Download or read book The Keepers of the House written by Shirley Ann Grau and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-04-10 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “beautifully written” Pulitzer Prize–winning novel about prejudice and a distinguished family’s secrets in the American South (The Atlantic Monthly). Seven generations of the Howland family have lived in the Alabama plantation home built by an ancestor who fought for Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812. Over the course of a century, the Howlands accumulated a fortune, fought for secession, and helped rebuild the South, establishing themselves as one of the most respected families in the state. But that history means little to Abigail Howland. The inheritor of the Howland manse, Abigail hides the long-buried secret of her grandfather’s thirty-year relationship with his African American mistress. Her fortunes reverse when her family’s mixed-race heritage comes to light and her community—locked in the prejudices of the 1960s—turns its back on her. Faced with such deep-seated racism, Abigail is pushed to defend her family at all costs. A “novel of real magnitude,” The Keepers of the House is an unforgettable story of family, tradition, and racial injustice set against the richly drawn backdrop of the American South (Kirkus Reviews). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Shirley Ann Grau, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

Download or read book The Truth Hurts written by Evon Davison and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Truth Hurts is the culmination of a journey that stretches from the gem of the Pacific Northwest, Seattle, to the vibrant Cajun-infused metropolis of New Orleans. The ebb and flow of the Mississippi River is the framework for blood, death, and betrayal, while exploitation, coupled with secrets and deception, thrusts the human spirit to the brink of destruction. In the quest to be kingpin of gangland, outsiders find that the Big Easy doesnt easily surrender itself to intimidation or fear. The mirror of reality will spin a parable of lingering emotional wounds that will force the doors of humility and humanity to open, as worlds collide and the truth unfolds. Love and hope will finally prevail . . . and the truth will hurt.

Download or read book Nocino Noir written by Traci Andrighetti and published by Limoncello Press. This book was released on 2024-07-23 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franki's coffee shop noir is a hard nut to crack! It’s a slow, steamy summer in New Orleans’ French Quarter, but Franki Amato is busy planning her bridal shower—that is, until a hit-and-run outside a coffee shop gets her PI senses percolating. The victim is linked to crimes at a fancy society wedding in a haunted hotel where Franki’s fiancé’s family is staying. As for the java joint, it’s straight out of a hardboiled detective movie, and there’s something hinky about its walnut liqueur coffee. Franki’s Sicilian nonna says the macabre events are proof the malocchio has been cast on her impending marriage, and to her utter surprise, her future grandmother-in-law also suspects the evil eye. To save her wedding and solve the case, Franki must investigate some shady places, from a witch shop and bridal swap to a shack in the swamp. She has to uncover the identities of a femme fatale and a jewel thief and unravel the meaning of a deadly delivery. If she doesn’t, this noir mystery could turn Grimm fairy tale. Nocino Noir is book 9 in the Franki Amato Mysteries, but it can be read as a standalone story.
