Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pears on a Willow Tree is a multigenerational roadmap of love and hate, distance and closeness, and the lure of roots that both bind and sustain us all. The Marchewka women are inseparable. They relish the joys of family gatherings; from preparing traditional holiday meals to organizing a wedding in which each of them is given a specific task -- whether it's sewing the bridal gown or preserving pickles as a gift to the newlyweds. Bound together by recipes, reminiscences and tangled relationships, these women are the foundation of a dignified, compassionate family--one that has learned to survive the hardships of emigration and assimilation in twentieth-century America. But as the century evolves, so does each succeeding generation. As the older women keep a tight hold on the family traditions passed from mother to daughter, the younger women are dealing with more modern problems, wounds not easily healed by the advice of a local priest or a kind word from mother. Amy is separated by four generations from her great-grandmother Rose, who emigrated from Poland. Rose's daughter Helen adjusted to the family's new home in a way her mother never could, while at the same time accepting the importance of Old Country ways. But Helen's daughter Ginger finds herself suffocating within the close-knit family, the first Marchewka woman to leave Detroit for the adventure of life beyond the reach of her mother and grandmother. It's in the American West that Giner raises her daughter Amy, uprooted from the safety of kitchens perfuned by the aroma of freshly baked poppy seed cake and pierogi made by hand by generations of women. But Amy is about to realize that there may be room in her heart for both the Old World and the New.

It was under the willow-tree in one of these gardens that Johanne and Knud spent a great deal of their time and theirs was a beautiful friendship. But everything would change when Johanne had to leave for Copenhagen with her father! Would they remain friends? Or even, as Knud hoped, could they become more than friends? Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

Download or read book Daughters of Seth written by L.K. Machacek and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evoking a spirit similar to such classics as Tolkien's The Hobbit, C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones, Daughters of Seth is a lyrical, intimate, multi-layered story in the fantasy genre that begs to be the foundation of an epic ongoing series. However, to merely compare Daughters of Seth to the works of others would not be adequate to speak to the distinctive voice that marks the style of L.K. Machacek. This is an earthy, elemental, deep, visceral story that courageously, confidently, and skillfully explores the boundaries of magic, myth, desire, loyalty, and destiny. It authentically depicts the rich and timeless tapestry of the bonds and love between family as well as those who are knit at the heart through friendship and loyalty. At the same time, these themes are married to the darker gravity of ruthless ambition, bitterness through heartbreak and unspeakable loss, and a rage and vengeance that twists and burns.
