Book excerpt: “Lynsay Sands spins a funny, laughable tale.” —Eloisa James on Taming the Highland Bride Adrian Montfort, Earl of Mowbray, had been warned that Lady Clarissa Crambray was dangerous. From stomping on toes to setting wigs on fire, the stunning beauty was clearly a force to be reckoned with. Still, he’s in need of a wife and is sure he can handle one woman and her “unfortunate past.” Intrigued by the mysterious vixen, he soon discovers he’s greatly underestimated the lady… Clarissa would like to find a husband, but perhaps not as much as her stepmother would like one for her. The woman has forbidden Clarissa from wearing her spectacles so she can look prettier, but how is she to see her potential suitors? Besides, she’s already caused enough mayhem to earn a rather horrible nickname. Just when she is about to give up hope of anyone asking her to dance, a man comes to lead her to the dance floor…a dark, handsome blur of a man.

Download or read book Black Madness written by Therí Alyce Pickens and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Black Madness :: Mad Blackness Therí Alyce Pickens rethinks the relationship between Blackness and disability, unsettling the common theorization that they are mutually constitutive. Pickens shows how Black speculative and science fiction authors such as Octavia Butler, Nalo Hopkinson, and Tananarive Due craft new worlds that reimagine the intersection of Blackness and madness. These creative writer-theorists formulate new parameters for thinking through Blackness and madness. Pickens considers Butler's Fledgling as an archive of Black madness that demonstrates how race and ability shape subjectivity while constructing the building blocks for antiracist and anti-ableist futures. She examines how Hopkinson's Midnight Robber theorizes mad Blackness and how Due's African Immortals series contests dominant definitions of the human. The theorizations of race and disability that emerge from these works, Pickens demonstrates, challenge the paradigms of subjectivity that white supremacy and ableism enforce, thereby pointing to the potential for new forms of radical politics.

Reality sets in. The preacher that performs a wedding is the factor to rather or rather not the matrimony is Holy. Marriage should not be rushed into. An individual should fast, pray and receive counsel concerning this great institution. Both parties involved should receive Biblical counseling and instructions before the vows are said. There are a lot of people that have gotten married although they did not qualify for this major event. The Bible is clear concerning that of marriage. Preachers and leaders that have not carefully studied the Word of God have lead people astray from the truth of God's Holy Word. One of the causes for the destruction of mankind was that of the misuse of this sacred ceremony and it shall be one of the leading causes for Jesus to return and punish the earth and mankind for its deeds.

Download or read book written by Jerry Dampier and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steven Leroy Zienner is a hard-working, hard-driving, hard-headed, economic materialist. Money, because of the influence it has over people and because of the things it buys, is the highest value he places on life. Unrestrained ambition in the pursuit of accumulating large profits, Mr. Zienner believes, lies at the heart of success and, at the same time, he believes wealth is the key to complete happiness. As a result of his genius in the affairs of business, (that, and the willingness to exploit his employees to maximum effect) Mr. Zienner became a multimillionaire before his 30th birthday. The story takes place in the 195O''s in Cleveland, Ohio; Vicksburg, Mississippi; and Paris, France. At this point, it should be noted that this story, The Downfall and Rise of Steven Leroy Zienner, is not merely a story about a man''s company, or the products that he sells, or even his rise from humble beginnings to wealth and privilege. It is a story about a choice a person ultimately makes between personal growth or self destruction when faced with personal tragedies and financial ruin. It is about the stubbornness as well as the willingness to see different points-of-view; it is about the desire to live in accordance with certain values and principles, or the lack thereof; it is also about the importance of family and friends; and the discovery, examination, and triumph over some of the most unattractive and malevolent elements within human nature. All-in-all, it''s about a man''s downfall; but more importantly, his struggle to rise in the pursuit of the ethics of Happiness.

Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives—they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love. Drawing from years of research, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury reveals the hidden forces that cause those mistakes. But awareness on its own doesn’t lead to results. You have to actually change your behavior. Ury shows you how. This “simple-to-use guide” (Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone) focuses on a different decision in each chapter, incorporating insights from behavioral science, original research, and real-life stories. You’ll learn: -What’s holding you back in dating (and how to break the pattern) -What really matters in a long-term partner (and what really doesn’t) -How to overcome the perils of online dating (and make the apps work for you) -How to meet more people in real life (while doing activities you love) -How to make dates fun again (so they stop feeling like job interviews) -Why “the spark” is a myth (but you’ll find love anyway) This “data-driven” (Time), step-by-step guide to relationships, complete with hands-on exercises, is designed to transform your life. How to Not Die Alone will help you find, build, and keep the relationship of your dreams.

He later moved to Chicago’s west suburb, Maywood, Illinois, as a juvenile. Maywood is where he began his string of robberies. He and his gang committed robberies from Maywood to the West Side of Chicago for years. J-Money was arrested for robbery several times as a juvenile and as an adult. After doing time in the penitentiary, he came home a young man. He needed his own money, which led him to getting it the only way he knew how—robbing with his gang. The war also was still on with their rival street. A few of J-Money’s gang members find themselves locked up also. Though J-Money is street, he, too, is a ladies magnet. J-Money is having more sex than a little, which is why at nineteen, he got Lala pregnant a month after he came home from prison. This was also the same age he met a woman whom he fell in love with at first sight. Yvette is twenty-seven and married with five children. Yvette is a neighbor-turned-friend of J-Money’s auntie, Leana. Yvette and her husband, Dub, are on the verge of divorce after repeatedly trying to make it work for, at least, their kids’ sake. J-Money has never been in or believed in love nor has he ever been in a serious relationship. Yvette’s marriage is on the rocks. She has to make a decision not only for her, but her kids too. These are people who are a product of their environment, which is the ghetto. Police brutality, gang violence, poverty, struggle, and risk. J-Money has a flock of girls and is addicted to the street life. Will he leave all the girls alone for his first love or is it just puppy love? Which will he choose, the streets or love? Yvette is married with children and has just inherited a big lump sum of money. Will she leave her husband and find new love? Or will she settle because she wants her kids to have a normal household with mom and dad? Read the book, and you’ll find out because I’m not telling you!

Download or read book THE RAINBOW IN THE PALETTE written by MANSI CHATURVEDI and published by kitab writing publication. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If I could talk to you about anything, it could be so much about life. Do you see life as a spectrum of colours which enhances it everyday or adds value to it ? Do you see it as a blank page which is just filled with events? The palette called life just cannot be empty but is full of vibrant colours on a page with elaborate description of all that happens. The best colours are found on the palette of life. The artist is you and you need to decide which colour you would use where. It only takes a blank space to start and when we do it is the colours and strokes that matter most. Some might see it as a blank canvas waiting to be brought to life just by a stroke by an artist. We all draw differently and we all express differently. A picture drawn by one person will differ even if the other draws the same. We see things differently don’t we? But every stroke of the brush adds something to the canvas and so does everything you say or do. What if I call life a rainbow? A rainbow that is rare yet fills the day or moment with happiness. A rainbow which has only seven colours but together gives the plain blue sky a different look altogether. I am sure all of you have seen the arch of the rainbow. What if I say it is a smile from above. The one just there , who looks down at us puts this smile on our face, which if you see from his side, is correct in shape. A smile that tries to fit in as many as it can. The one above just watches us smiling at the rainbow. Rainbow , the colours that dance between the raindrops and the sunlight. Colours that are just that little moment that you get between the good times and bad. Colours that turn a dull moment to life. The colours that suddenly appear turning a gloomy day to a cheerful one. Yet this sight is rare and short lived and is caught by only a few who notice it. They either enjoy the sight of a rainbow alone or share it with others. So is life, either to be lived alone or with people around you. There might be moments of happiness that bring you together or moments that you need when you feel low. In both of these situations the people present with you are just like the rainbow. You might not meet them always but whenever they are present they add the smile to your face or give you strength in times when you need it most. The colours are reflections of your inner self. They depict the various moods, the feelings , the emotions that are within you. The same colour might speak a different language for each one of us. The way we behave, the way we do things in life or simply the way we dress shows the dominant colour that we carry with us that particular day. Colours have a language of their own which is interpreted differently by individuals. But the rainbow is there, just waiting for the rays of the sun to outshine the drops of rain that seem to suddenly come out of nowhere. These drops of rain might seem colourless but can beautifully bring out the vibgyor which everyone watches in awe. Let me help you see this beautiful life with the various colours of a rainbow. Let me bring in the rainbow , for you to smile as you read what I share with you.
