Download or read book Ancient Highway written by Bret Lott and published by Random House. This book was released on 2008-07-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Jewel and The Difference Between Women and Men comes a haunting novel of home, family, and the pursuit of lost dreams. Ancient Highway brilliantly weaves together the hopes and regrets of three characters from three generations as they reconcile who they are and who they might have been. In 1925, a fourteen-year-old boy leaves his family’s farm and hops a boxcar in a dusty Texas field, heading for Hollywood and a life in the “flickers.” In 1947, a ten-year-old girl aches for a real home with a real family in a wide-open space, far from the crowded Los Angeles streets where her handsome cowboy father chases stardom and her mother holds a secret. In 1980, a young man just out of the Navy visits his elderly yet colorful grandparents in Los Angeles, eager to uncover his family’s silent history. For the Holmeses, a longing for something else–another place, a second chance–seems to run in the family DNA. From Earl’s journey west toward Hollywood glory, to his daughter Joan’s wish for a normal existence away from the bright lights, to his grandson Brad’s yearning for truth, this deep-rooted desire sustains them, no matter how much the goal eludes them. But ultimately, in each generation, a family crisis forces a turning away from the horizon and the acceptance of a reality that is by turns harsh and healing. Inspired by stories of his own family, Bret Lott beautifully renders the lives of ordinary people with extraordinary faith in a mesmerizing and finely wrought tale of love and letting go.

Download or read book Nothing to be Frightened Of written by Julian Barnes and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-05-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I don’t believe in God, but I miss him." So begins Julian Barnes’s brilliant new book that is, among many things, a family memoir, an exchange with his brother (a philosopher), a meditation on mortality and the fear of death, a celebration of art, an argument with and about God and a homage to the writer Jules Renard. Barnes also draws poignant portraits of the last days of his parents, recalled with great detail, affection and exasperation. Other examples he takes up include writers, "most of them dead and quite a few of them French," as well as some composers, for good measure. The grace with which Barnes weaves together all of these threads makes the experience of reading the book nothing less than exhilarating. Although he cautions us that "this is not my autobiography," the book nonetheless reveals much about Barnes the man and the novelist: how he thinks and how he writes and how he lives. At once deadly serious and dazzlingly playful, Nothing to Be Frightened Of is a wise, funny and constantly surprising tour of the human condition.

Book excerpt: Afrofuturism meets dystopia in this social satire about a 16-year-old white girl chasing her dreams in a world that rejects her. Two hundred fifty years has passed since the AEXT-V4 pandemic killed off ninety-nine percent of the White American population. Sixteen-year-old Tansy is a descendant of the one percent, the American elite who survived the pandemic. She lives with her younger sister and grandfather in the rapidly decaying isolation domes her wealthy ancestors built to ensure their survival. Compared to the many other citizens of her township, Tansy lives an envied and privileged life. She’s a local celebrity, destined for a future as an actress in the American Bureau of Entertainment. She’s driven, calculating, and willing to take risks to get what she wants. She loves her life. When the opportunity comes to start anew and leave the domes for good, will Tansy choose to stay behind, or will she venture out into a world of unknowns, where rumors of an incurable disease and hostile people run rampant? What will that choice mean for her future—her career ambitions, family, and identity?

Book excerpt: Although the Morroks surpass Humans in both size and strength, for generations they have skulked in deserts and moved among Humans only in secret. They train their children with brutal thoroughness and psychological torment, teaching them both to isolate themselves and to kill without thought. Orestes is one such Human trainee for the first five years of his life. But after he is rescued from the Morrok Facility, Orestes grows up in Warrior Peak, a militaristic society that hasn't been to war in three generations and is reluctant to do so even as the Morroks begin to show themselves in the desert just miles from their home. Even in the midst of impending war, Orestes wrestles with the Morroks' hold over his mind and heart as he struggles to fight without malignity, to lead without tyranny, and to love without inhibition. The Morroks, however, are not as quick to relinquish their hold on Orestes, and the reminders of their training, often written in the blood of others, threaten to ruin him before he can lead the Humans in their last stand to defend the land against the Morroks. http: //www.awarriorslegacy.com
