Download or read book Go Home lake written by Megs Beach and published by Second Story Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1960s Penny is the youngest of four kids, known on her street as the girl with the mean brothers. She spends all year looking forward to her summers spent at Go Home Lake, where she passes the days in a soaked bathing suit, catching frogs, and getting her daily fill of fresh air. Yet Penny's summers are far from pleasant. Her father’s weekend visits to the cottage are sporadic, and her brothers prey on her innocence in every way, while her mother offers little sympathy. But Penny holds onto a secret ambition – she’s going to be a real cowboy. If only her dad would buy her that pony he’s been promising each year. Told from the perspective of Penny looking back on those pivotal summers, Go Home Lake tells the story of a seemingly "normal" family. Megs Beach deftly balances a child's naiveté with razor-sharp observations of a 1960s middle-class family and of a childhood that only felt wrong years later.

Download or read book This Hour Has Seven Decades written by Patrick Watson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick Watson, much to his surprise, found himself hosting a CBC television series at the age of 26. Within weeks he had abandoned both his doctoral studies and a promising career in publishing to sail into the uncharted waters of the new medium. Ten years later he was one of the best-known people in Canada, primarily because of a television series called THIS HOUR HAS SEVEN DAYS, which regularly reached more viewers than HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA. During its spectacular two-year run, Watson was on the front pages of the nation’s major newspapers week after week.Throughout a broadcasting career that began in radio 61 years ago, he has written, produced, directed, acted in, or hosted literally thousands of television programs and films—from creating children’s radio adventure drama to globe-girdling documentaries, from anchoring a daily news show on New York City’s famous Channel XIII to producing/directing for Jacques Cousteau. As well, Watson hosted the first CBC Current Affairs series to be named for its host and created the Historica Foundation’s famous Heritage Minutes. In THIS HOUR HAS SEVEN DECADES, Watson gives a first-person account of a sunny and adventurous childhood, the early days of broadcasting, the troubled years of his chairmanship of the CBC, and the myriad of projects of the in-between and later years, in a frank, gossipy narrative that reflects the story-telling skills that have made his novels and historical books bestsellers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Claire Campbell draws from recent work in cultural history, landscape studies in geography and art history, and environmental history to explore what happens when external agendas confront local realities - a story central to the Canadian experience. Explorers, fishers, artists, and park planners all were forced to respond to the unique contours of this inland sea; their encounters defined a regional identity even as they constructed a popular image for the Bay in the national imagination."--Jacket.

And when she meets Brayden Matthews, an only child just like her, Amber soon becomes infatuated with this handsome, quirky young man who seems to know her innermost feelings almost before she does, who takes her places she never knew existed in her small town. Their connection is electrifying, unlike anything Amber’s felt before. But as quickly as he appears, Brayden vanishes into the darkness. And finding out the truth about him will push Amber Taylor to the edge of madness… An atmospheric journey of passion and suspense that builds to a jolting, unforgettable finale, Into the Darkness showcases V.C.

Download or read book Last Night in Twisted River written by John Irving and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-10-27 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable’s girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugitives, forced to run from Coos County—to Boston, to southern Vermont, to Toronto—pursued by the implacable constable. Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who befriends them. In a story spanning five decades, Last Night in Twisted River depicts the recent half-century in the United States as “a living replica of Coos County, where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course.” What further distinguishes Last Night in Twisted River is the author’s unmistakable voice—the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller.

Download or read book Penny written by Hal Borland and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Some dogs, like some people, just can’t abide a quiet life,” writes the author of the national bestseller, The Dog Who Came to Stay, in this warm and touching memoir. Penny the basset shows up at the Borlands’ Connecticut farmhouse on a cold, snowy day—head held high, tail wagging, as if she were a long-awaited guest. Hal and Barbara Borland were no strangers to strays. Pat, the rabbit hound thousands of readers came to know in The Dog Who Came to Stay, had also appeared one winter, staying to become the family’s dear companion. Now, Pat is gone, and Hal and Barbara are bereft without canine company. They fall in love with Penny—and she seems to fit right in. Penny is a delightful dog—short-legged, flop-eared, full of fun and curiosity. And she loves people, so much so that she leaves the Borlands to go visiting elsewhere, often settling in with a different family for days on end. Indeed, Hal and Barbara admire her for her spirit of individuality and independence. Though she never truly belonged to them, the Borlands agreed that Penny was a dog well worth loving—and so will readers.
