Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A preoccupied queen. An awkward king. It can't possibly be a good combination… or can it? Single mom Caroline Dunleavy is not having the easiest of times. Her job is unfulfilling (and the pay is not nearly good enough to compensate). Her dating life is nonexistent—while her ex-husband has found a vivacious new girlfriend. And her very smart, easily bored daughter Chloe is struggling at school. There is one promising new development, though: Chloe's newfound love of chess. Caroline has never played chess in her life, and doesn't feel smart enough to start. Which isn't going to stop her from bringing Chloe to Queen City Chess, the most happening chess spot in Charlotte, North Carolina. But stepping into the chess world, even as just a mom supporting her kid, means discovering big egos, obscure lingo, and international intrigue. And it also means meeting Queen City Chess's newest—and least sociable—coach, former super-grandmaster Mikhail "Misha" Kotenkov, who seems hard pressed to recognize a real world beyond the chessboard. Surely this man is not going to be the solution to any of Caroline's problems. Only then she has to deal with some new challenges, including the unearthing of long-buried family secrets. It turns out that she and Misha are more alike than either of them realized. And that sometimes love can show up in unexpected places—even in the midst of a major chess tournament…
Download or read book White House Nannies written by Barbara Kline and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-05-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As president of Washington's premier nanny placement agency, White House Nannies, Inc., Barbara Kline has spent the last twenty years handpicking and delivering nannies to elected officials, cabinet members, advisers to the President, and the media who report on their every move. In this hilarious account of her life in child care, Kline discloses the mayhem that ensues when these powerful parents find themselves at the mercy of tiny tyrants—and the nannies who offer their only hope of salvation. From finding the "perfect nanny" to firing the "perfect nanny," from refereeing mommy-nanny disputes to keeping mum about family secrets, Kline casts a keen eye on one of the most complicated relationships under the sun: that between extremely busy people and their nannies. Following the major events that launch powerful D.C. parents into parenthood (discovering they're pregnant; hiring a fabulous nanny; giving birth; hiring a second nanny in a pinch when the first one is nanny-napped), this book goes behind closed doors in our nation's capital to reveal the laughter—and, of course, the tears—involved when overworked professionals attempt to raise a child. The Nanny Diaries meets Primary Colors in this delightful ride on the bottle-and-bib-strewn Beltway.

Download or read book A Father s Daughter written by Swastika Juggernath and published by Europa Edizioni. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Father’s Daughter is both a journey through grief and the healing of the soul. By adopting an intimate and familiar style of writing, the author uncovers the painful reality behind the loss of a loved one. Nothing could have prepared her for the sudden loss of her father due to the Covid-19 pandemic. By sharing her experience as well as her childhood memories, the author takes the reader by the hand and shows how grief is often followed by regret and anger, especially when facing the loss of someone we consider special and irreplaceable. Nevertheless, recovering is possible although equally painful. It requires a high price to pay and afterwards, as the author suggests, it usually drives you to ask yourself more questions in the attempt to prepare the ones who will, in the future, find themselves in the same situation. Swastika Juggernath, a sneaker portfolio manager by day at Bata South Africa, possess a PHD in Bus Sc. and is also a mum of two kids with a peculiar sense of humour to stay sane. Named after the originating, ancient, well-wishing Hindu Sanskrit symbol, Swastika can herself be found reading and researching when she is not passionately writing. Swastika’s passion for writing stemmed at an early stage when she enjoyed writing essays and continued even after she escalated her writing through academic levels until her long-life dream of PHD, achieved in 2020. She doesn’t consider herself a famous writer but only an average mum and daughter who has experienced grief and now has decided to share it with the world.

Download or read book Ideological Idiocy written by Tygrrrr Express and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-04-08 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservatives are busy trying to save the world. The world is going to heck in a handbasket, and liberals are trying to figure out whether to hold angry peace rallies or celebrate the environment by leaving their signs on the grass for productive people to clean up. If only they knew how many trees and bunny rabbits were murdered on 9/11 by people unconcerned with carbon emissions. Liberals like to declare every conservative on the planet to be either evil or stupid. Ideological Idiocy is about their declaration of our being unenlightened dolts. This is ideological idiocy. Having liberals declare the author stupid is like listening to members of the KKK call him insensitive. Conservatives must remember that our critics do not matter. Nobody listens to these crying children. For those that do not have a blunt instrument nearby, or are looking for a solution that avoids jail, humor is a powerful weapon. Use it against the left every moment they breathe. They may get offended, but that is the point. The only thing that the author wants to communicate in this book is that without love and laughter, there is no life. Nothing he does will change the world, but if it gets a stiff person to lighten up and smile, he is pleased.
