Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bea: Till death do us part... That was how it was supposed to go. We didn’t even make it that far. The day of my wedding, I found out that Law, the man I planned to marry, didn’t really love me. Maybe he did, just not enough. Watching a petal fall from my bouquet, almost like a silent tear commemorating the end of a relationship, instead of the beginning of a blessed partnership, felt like a sign. Then, my best friend, Ky, stepped in. He told me that all was well and to meet him at the altar, as planned. I took a leap of faith, and hoped that Law would be there waiting for me. He wasn’t there. That didn’t stop me from getting married though. The difficulty came when Law realized his mistake a moment too late, the moment when I pledged myself to someone else. KY: Stepping in to be my best friend’s replacement husband was the best decision I ever made. I’d been in love with her since we were young, and I wouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to finally make her understand how I felt. This is book 2 in the Robeson Family Novel Series. While each book focuses on a Robeson sibling, they each stand alone as their own story. There is an HEA and no cheating.

Download or read book Pebble Swing written by Isabella Wang and published by Harbour Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-16 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A much-anticipated debut collection from one of Canada’s most promising emerging poets Pebble Swing earns its title from the image of stones skipping their way across a body of water, or, in the author’s case, syllables and traces of her mother tongue bouncing back at her from the water’s reflective surface. This collection is about language and family histories. It is the author’s attempt to piece together the resonant aftermath of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which stole the life of her paternal grandmother. As an immigrant whose grasp of Mandarin is fading, Wang explores absences in her caesuras and fragmentation—that which is unspoken, but endures. The poems in this collection also trace the experiences of a young poet who left home at seventeen to pursue writing; the result is a series of city poetry infused with memory, the small joys of Vancouver’s everyday, environmental politics, grief and notions of home. While the poetics of response are abundant in the collection—with poems written to Natalie Lim and Ashley Hynd—the last section of the book, "Thirteen Ghazals and Anti-Ghazals after Phyllis Webb," forges a continued response to Phyllis Webb on Salt Spring Island, and innovates within the possibilities of the experimental ghazal form.

Download or read book Petal Pusher written by Laurie Lindeen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-05-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the years between the meteoric launches of Madonna and Courtney Love, Petal Pusher takes readers on a stirring journey across rock and roll, from the big-haired 1980s to the grunge-filled 1990s, when Laurie Lindeen brought her all-girl band, Zuzu's Petals, to compete in the indie rock arena. Minneapolis in the eighties was a musical hotbed, the land of 10,000 lakes and 10,000 bands that gave birth to Prince, the Replacements, and Soul Asylum. For Laurie Lindeen it was the perfect place to launch her rock-and-roll dream. She moved to the city with her best friends Phyll ("Annie Oakley meets Patsy Cline") and Coleen ("former cheerleader gone off the arty deep end") to crash in decrepit apartments and coax punk rock from crappy used guitars. But unbeknownst to her friends, Laurie has a secret in her past -- a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis that fuels her passion to make it big on the local, national, and international rock scene. With inspiring determination, Laurie and her Zuzu's Petals survive the many challenges of being underdogs in a man's world. Then Laurie is thrown a curveball when she falls for Paul Westerberg of Replacements fame and reevaluates exactly what it means to "make it big." By turns hilarious and heartrending, Petal Pusher is a brilliant behind-the-scenes look at music on the front lines, and the awe-inspiring tale of one woman's fight against disease and the disillusionment of life in the rock underground.

Book excerpt: 20 years of fighting. Teaching the locals. Thousands of lives lost or destroyed. Then Kabul fell in just two weeks. For many veterans, this was the last straw, their sacrifices and pain all for nothing. It started out as a routine patrol. The only difference was the new man, a young Lieutenant, straight out of Sandhurst. He didn't know the reality, only the theory. "Stop, Sir!" Corporal Ben Noon yelled out, panic in his voice, already knowing it was too late. He watched as the officer pulled open the wooden door, praying that he was wrong, knowing that he was right. Time seemed to stretch, every movement taking forever. It was that easy. One second of lost concentration, and it was all over. Blackness. A rebuilt Ben Noon wanted to put things right, to give Veterans like himself a meaning, a value, but the only way to do this was to build bridges with his old enemy. An enemy that had stolen his life, left him a cripple. To deal with the devil. To cut cake with the Taliban.
