Download or read book Undertaking Molly written by Christopher B. Bass and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-22 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prairie Road Chronicles is a coming of age story, it proves that things are always different looking back on them. "I have been writing this book my whole life. It is a work of fiction, some parts of the story did not happen the way they have been written, some of the places changed, people and so on. If I told it straight we would all be in trouble. I have never really considered myself a writer and you will find that out inside the pages of the book defiantly, so take it as a story, not a work of art. This first story comes from a collection of days spread out inside my life in the 90s. I'm very lucky to have lived the life I have, the way I have lived it, and met the people I have met, seen the things that I have seen. Sad things happened to us all on Prairie RD, but good things happened too. There are story's out there about growing up, or your first time, or bully's but I don't think a lot of books tell the truth. People want to sugar coat where they come from. I think that a raw story is the best, so here is a story about a road. I have heard it said choose your road in life. Prairie RD. choose me."

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Celebrated futurist Ray Kurzweil, hailed by Bill Gates as “the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence,” presents an “elaborate, smart, and persuasive” (The Boston Globe) view of the future course of human development. “Artfully envisions a breathtakingly better world.”—Los Angeles Times “Startling in scope and bravado.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times “An important book.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer At the onset of the twenty-first century, humanity stands on the verge of the most transforming and thrilling period in its history. It will be an era in which the very nature of what it means to be human will be both enriched and challenged as our species breaks the shackles of its genetic legacy and achieves inconceivable heights of intelligence, material progress, and longevity. While the social and philosophical ramifications of these changes will be profound, and the threats they pose considerable, The Singularity Is Near presents a radical and optimistic view of the coming age that is both a dramatic culmination of centuries of technological ingenuity and a genuinely inspiring vision of our ultimate destiny.

Book excerpt: Allison Rose Plunkett is a sweet, beautiful girl, with burnt-chestnut colored hair and golden-brown skin, soft and smooth as silk. Luke Allen Chesterfield is built like a rock, fast and strong like a tiger, with a sharp mind. Allison and Luke seem to be a perfect match, but, because of pressure from Allison's father, the relationship appears to be doomed from the start. When Allison refuses the advances of Jacob Yeardley, the son of an influential banker, Jacob begins bad-mouthing her in an attempt to ruin her reputation. While trying to defend her honor, Luke gets into a vicious fight with Jacob and his friends-injuring most of them and sending Jacob to the hospital. Fearful of having to serve jail time for the assault, Luke flees from the warmth and congeniality of his little hometown in West Virginia to the cold, unfriendly streets of Detroit. Years later, an old friend mentions to Luke that Allison is the mother of a little girl named Vanessa Mayberry Chesterfield-which just happens to be Luke's mother's name. Will Luke find the strength to return to West Virginia and face his past? And what will Allison's family have to say about it if he does?
