Book excerpt: When "crazy" runs in your family and your namesake is known for walking into a river with a pocket full of rocks, a girl kind of wants to avoid tempting fate at all costs. For Virginia Nichols, the only way to dodge that bullet is to be perfect at everything: school, student council, life. Too bad it's all a lie, and underneath the perfection...Virginia is lost. Ryder Blackstock knows a thing or two about being born into fate. The talents passed down from his father aren't exactly normal; instead of learning how to throw a fastball, he was taught to hot-wire a car like a pro and pick any pocket in sight. He's got criminal blood, just like his old man. And as soon as he turns eighteen, he'll be living life on the run with his dad. When Ryder and Virginia meet on the beach, it seems they couldn't be more different. Soon they discover they're both trapped in their lives-Virginia denying her fate, Ryder embracing his. Like the rocks in Virginia Woolf's pockets, the weight of their destinies will pull them under. But being together brings out pieces of themselves they didn't know existed-pieces that make them want to take fate into their own hands and rewrite their destinies...if it's not too late. "Whenever I read Nyrae Dawn, I am reminded that words are her art, and she wields her paintbrush with all the skill of Rembrandt. The tender romance of Ryder and Virginia is palpable on the page, and the story sings with all the complexities of the interwoven plot. I read late into the night to finish this one, and once again, Nyrae has managed a masterpiece. LOVED." USA Today and New York Times Bestselling Author Courtney Cole "The Weight of Destiny unfolds like a storm. It is dark and electric and incredibly romantic. I lost and found myself. The characters are so vivid, so alive, you'll forget anything but them exists." David James author of Between the Stars and Sky "The Weight of Destiny is YA at its absolute finest. Nyrae Dawn flawlessly brought two seemingly broken characters to life and showed everyone deserves a second chance at love and life. This breathtaking storytelling will blow you away." USA Today Bestselling Author Tiffany King "The Weight of Destiny is art at its best, Ryder and Virginia canvasses on which the good and bad of life and love unfold in brilliant, true color." Author Jamie Manning

Download or read book Weight written by Jeanette Winterson and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-11-05 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Atlas and Heracles Atlas knows how it feels to carry the weight of the world; but why, he asks himself, does it have to be carried at all? In Weight — visionary and inventive, yet completely believable and relevant to the questions we ask ourselves every day — Winterson’s skill in turning the familiar on its head to show us a different truth is put to stunning effect. When I was asked to choose a myth to write about, I realized I had chosen already. The story of Atlas holding up the world was in my mind before the telephone call had ended. If the call had not come, perhaps I would never have written the story, but when the call did come, that story was waiting to be written. Rewritten. The recurring language motif of Weight is “I want to tell the story again.” My work is full of Cover Versions. I like to take stories we think we know and record them differently. In the retelling comes a new emphasis or bias, and the new arrangement of the key elements demands that fresh material be injected into the existing text. Weight moves far away from the simple story of Atlas’s punishment and his temporary relief when Hercules takes the world off his shoulders. I wanted to explore loneliness, isolation, responsibility, burden, and freedom too, because my version has a very particular end not found elsewhere. —from Jeanette Winterson’s Foreword to Weight

Book excerpt: Ring of Destiny invites its readers to open their minds to go beyond stereo-typical thinking and to explore the possibilities that time does not exist, that there is a physiological reason for memories from previous generations, and that visits from extraterrestrials may account for much of what is assumed under traditional religious beliefs. Ring of Destiny portrays the life of a psychologist who has dared to think "out of the box," and who has come upon theories that suggest a "new world is in the making."

The build-up of intrigue continuously leaves the reader wanting to know, "what comes next," turning it into a genuine page turner.
