Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerson My motto: Never stay in one place too long. At the age of eighteen, I left my home in California to travel the world like my twin sister and I had planned to do since we were kids and before the accident happened. Now, after eight years, I find myself reluctantly returning home to face the haunting memories of the past. Money is running out, and my brother, Adam, has made it clear that he won't support me any longer unless I agree to settle down in one place. He arranged for me to stay with his best friend while he was out of town and his house was being renovated. Little did I know that this would be the start of a life-altering encounter with billionaire Alex Parker-a strikingly handsome yet arrogantly controlling man who believed he could dictate my choices. Well, he had another thing coming. Alex Emerson James was exactly as her brother had warned-mouthy and defiant. She embodied a free spirit, seemingly careless with her life. Definitely not the type I usually went for, despite her undeniable beauty. I preferred dating women of a certain upper-class status-those who knew how to remain composed and excelled in their careers. I thought I had everything I wanted in life and didn't need anything else. Or so I thought, until Emerson came crashing into my world, disrupting everything. She was on the brink of another adventure, and I was determined to convince her to settle down in one place-with me. 18+

Download or read book At Home in the World written by Joyce Maynard and published by Picador. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author of Labor Day With a New Preface When it was first published in 1998, At Home in the World set off a furor in the literary world and beyond. Joyce Maynard's memoir broke a silence concerning her relationship—at age eighteen—with J.D. Salinger, the famously reclusive author of The Catcher in the Rye, then age fifty-three, who had read a story she wrote for The New York Times in her freshman year of college and sent her a letter that changed her life. Reviewers called her book "shameless" and "powerful" and its author was simultaneously reviled and cheered. With what some have viewed as shocking honesty, Maynard explores her coming of age in an alcoholic family, her mother's dream to mold her into a writer, her self-imposed exile from the world of her peers when she left Yale to live with Salinger, and her struggle to reclaim her sense of self in the crushing aftermath of his dismissal of her not long after her nineteenth birthday. A quarter of a century later—having become a writer, survived the end of her marriage and the deaths of her parents, and with an eighteen-year-old daughter of her own—Maynard pays a visit to the man who broke her heart. The story she tells—of the girl she was and the woman she became—is at once devastating, inspiring, and triumphant.
