Download or read book Liberty Street written by Dianne Warren and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply affecting novel about the truths we avoid and the bad choices that come back to haunt us. Gridlocked in the churchyard of a small Irish town, the traffic frozen in place for a funeral, Frances Moon pauses long enough to make a confession to Ian, her partner of nearly twenty years. The next morning, she finds he has left her. Unsure what else to do, Frances sets out for Elliot, the small town in western Canada where she grew up. As the perspective shifts backward, cruel students and unsympathetic teachers await a young Frances beyond the borders of her family’s quiet farm. Curious, imaginative, and lost, she finds comfort in two outsiders, the troubled local boy, Dooley Sullivan, and a decorated Native American World War Two veteran named Silas Chance. But ever present, splitting the narrative apart, is a small town that will close ranks, turning a blind eye when one of them is killed. The crime, itself, and the denial that follows, takes both Silas and Dooley from Frances in different ways. By high school, she’s become the girl most likely to disappoint, and at eighteen is already headed toward a disastrous marriage. Even after she shakes off the dust of the town and flees her husband, even as she builds a new life, she buries her past so deeply that she believes she has lost it. Until one day in an Irish churchyard, it all comes sweeping back. And so begins an unforgettable novel of lost souls and second acts.

Download or read book Short Stories written by Lucy Montgomery and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The land dropped abruptly down from the gate, and a thick, shrubby growth of young apple orchard almost hid the little weather-grey house from the road. This was why the young man who opened the sagging gate could not see that it was boarded up, and did not cease his cheerful whistling until he had pressed through the crowding trees and found himself almost on the sunken stone doorstep over which in olden days honeysuckle had been wont to arch. Now only a few straggling, uncared-for vines clung forlornly to the shingles, and the windows were, as has been said, all boarded up. The whistle died on the young man's lips and an expression of blank astonishment and dismay settled down on his face—a good, kindly, honest face it was, although perhaps it did not betoken any pronounced mental gifts on the part of its owner. "What can have happened?" he said to himself. "Uncle Tom and Aunt Sally can't be dead—I'd have seen their deaths in the paper if they was. And I'd a-thought if they'd moved away it'd been printed too. They can't have been gone long—that flower-bed must have been made up last spring. Well, this is a kind of setback for a fellow. Here I've been tramping all the way from the station, a-thinking how good it would be to see Aunt Sally's sweet old face again, and hear Uncle Tom's laugh, and all I find is a boarded-up house going to seed. S'pose I might as well toddle over to Stetsons' and inquire if they haven't disappeared, too."

God returns them into His care to spend eternity laughing, singing and playing. No time to come in and take a nap. No skinned knees or tears, no sickness or being unwanted – just non-stop love and fun.! Your beloved child has left the land of the dying (earth) to enter the land of the living (Heaven) for eternity. You’ll meet three very funny angels that bring all new residents to Heaven in a Chariot of Fire from earth. At the Pearly Gates you’ll be escorted to your angel-staffed mansion. Don’t get too comfortable because you will be attending a banquet held in your honor to reunite you with family and friends who have left earth before you did! You’ll meet your escort, Jimmy, who came to live in Heaven at 12 years old from a bicycle accident. He doesn’t know heart break, never been sick, knows nothing of the hardships of life. He’s never had to grow up and you may want to call him a “Heaven Peter Pan.” Please don’t think for a moment that Heaven is a continuous time of going to church forever. Singing old hymns grandma liked, being bored while sitting on a cloud to strum your harp. No, God has a fun-packed experience planned for all His believing children. There’s fine dining at the castle, Hollywood stars entertain at the Hacienda Hiccup, there’s space exploration, meeting family and friends, seeing the River of Life with numerous banquets held in your honor, an Amusement Park with fast rides, delicious food, and no one ever gets fat! But, the best of the trip is seeing the Throne of God, seeing His face whenever you want. He doesn’t have a bat looking to hit you over the head whenever you say anything out of line. He’s full of love and He is so happy to meet you that you’ll want to live there forever. This book may be a great way to invite earth friends to learn how to go to Heaven – hint: it’s only by what Jesus did on the cross. The plan of salvation is included in easy-to-understand language. Non denominational – Jesus plus nothing equals admission to Heaven. Not a travel Agent.
