Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Moore, besides being laugh out loud hilarious, has a profound understanding of human nature . . . A truly remarkable writer. This book is a joy to read.” —Fannie Flagg, author of The Whole Town’s Talking and Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe “The arrival of [Moore’s] new novel had me singing anything but the blues.”—Julia Glass, National Book Award-winning author of A House Among the Trees and Three Junes From the author of the bestselling The Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat, The Supremes Sing the Happy Heartache Blues, an exuberant and poignant new novel of passions, family, and forgiveness When a late life love affair blooms between Mr. Forrest Payne, the owner of the Pink Slipper Gentleman’s Club, and Miss Beatrice Jordan, famous for stationing herself at the edge of the club’s parking lot and yelling warnings of eternal damnation at the departing patrons, their wedding summons a legend to town. Mr. El Walker, the great guitar bluesman, comes home to give a command performance in Plainview, Indiana, a place he’d sworn—and for good reason—he’d never set foot in again. But El is not the only Plainview native with a hurdle to overcome. A wildly philandering husband struggles at last to prove his faithfulness to the wife he’s always loved. And among those in this tightly knit community who show up every Sunday after church for lunch at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat, are the lifelong friends, known locally as “The Supremes” —Clarice, facing down her longing for, chance at and fear of a great career; Barbara Jean, grappling at last with the loss of a mother whose life humiliated both of them, and Odette, reaching toward her husband through an anger of his that she does not understand. Edward Kelsey Moore’s lively cast of characters, each of whom have surmounted serious trouble and come into love, need not learn how to survive but how, fully, to live. And they do, every one of them, serenaded by the bittersweet and unforgettable blues song El Walker plays, born of his own great loss and love.

Download or read book Bon Appetempt written by Amelia Morris and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Amelia Morris saw a towering, beautiful chocolate cake in Bon Appétit and took the recipe home to recreate it for a Christmas day brunch she was hosting, it resulted in a terrible (but tasty) mess that had to be served in an oversize bowl. It was also a revelation. Both delicious and damaged, it seemed a physical metaphor for the many curious and unexpected situations she's found herself in throughout her life, from her brief career as a six-year-old wrestler to her Brady Bunch-style family (minus the housekeeper and the familial harmony) to her ill-fated twenty-something job at the School of Rock in Los Angeles. As a way to bring order to chaos and in search of a more meaningful lifestyle, she finds herself more and more at home in the kitchen, where she begins to learn that even if the results of her culinary efforts fall well short of the standard set by glossy food magazines, they can still bring satisfaction (and sustenance) to her and her family and friends. Full of hilarious observations about food, family, unemployment, romance, and the extremes of modern L.A., and featuring recipes as basic as Toasted Cheerios and as advanced as gâteau de crêpes, Bon Appétit is sure to resonate with anyone who has tried and failed, and been all the better for it.

Download or read book Stories My Grandmother Told Me written by Gabriela Maya Bernadett and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The illuminating and deeply personal debut from Gabriela Maya Bernadett, Stories My Grandmother Told Me explores culture, race, and chosen family, set against the backdrop of the twentieth-century American Southwest. In a hilly Southern California suburb in the late twentieth century, Gabriela Maya Bernadett listens as her grandmother tells her a story. It’s the true story of Esther Small, the great-granddaughter of slaves, who became one of the few Black students to graduate from NYU in the 1940s. Having grown up in Harlem, Esther couldn’t imagine a better place to live; especially not somewhere in the American Southwest. But when she learns of a job teaching Native American children on a reservation, Esther decides to take a chance. She soon finds herself on a train to Fort Yuma, Arizona; unaware that each year, the Bureau of Indian Affairs kidnaps the native Tohono O’odham children from the reservation and forces them to be educated in the ‘ways of the White man.’ It doesn’t take long for Esther to notice how Fort Yuma parallels her own grandmother’s story as a slave in the South—the native children, constantly belittled by teachers and peers, are forced to perform manual labor for local farmers. One of two Black people in Fort Yuma, Esther feels isolated, never sure where she belongs in a community deeply divided between the White people and the Tohono O’odhams. John, the school bus driver and Tohono O’odham tribe member, is one of the only people she connects with. Friendship slowly grows into love, and together, Esther and John navigate a changing America. Seamlessly weaving in the present day with the past, Stories My Grandmother Told Me blends a woman’s memory of her life, and that woman’s granddaughter’s memories of how she heard these stories growing up. Bernadett’s captivating narrative explores themes of identity, tradition, and belonging, showing what it really means to exist in a multicultural America.

Download or read book Wrestling with Angels written by Clifton Snider and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-11-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when two gay brothers become friends and then one of them disappears? This question and its answer are threads that run throughout the story of Darren and Brandon Taylor, a story about competition and reconciliation, guilt and redemption, spiritual loss and gain. Growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, Darren and Brandon are the oldest of five sons of an Assembly of God minister. Five years older than Brandon, Darren is the rebel of the brothers, and throughout their lives they compete with each other on various levels. Brandon is the model preacher´s kid until he goes away to college. There Brandon does everything Darren did at fifteen and then some. Before the school year is over, Brandon is arrested at a gay bar for a false I.D., and his parents discover he is gay. Brandon moves home. Meanwhile Darren has married a church woman and set out on his goal of becoming wealthy through real estate. His marriage is short and unhappy, and not long after its breakup, Darren himself starts having sex with other men. Despite a six-year relationship with a male lover, Darren hides his sexual orientation. After going away to graduate school in New Mexico in the early 1970s, Brandon moves back to California, lives briefly with Darren and his lover, teaches at local colleges, and works on his painting and drawing, continuing his longstanding pattern of heavy drinking. When Darren´s relationship ends, he moves in with Brandon for eleven months. Then Darren buys yet another house, lives in it alone, and soon disappears. Darren´s disappearance stuns the family, especially since it apparently results from foul play. When Darren´s stripped car is discovered, the evidence of foul play is inescapable. Brandon does what he can to find Darren, including posting fliers at bars Darren frequented, among them the Hollywood leather bars, and placing an article in a gay magazine. Brandon decides he must tell the police Darren was gay, but instead of helping the investigation as Brandon had hoped, the police become even more indifferent. The elder Taylors find out about Darren too, and they tell Brandon a local TV station backed off from covering Darren´s disappearance after it discovered Darren was gay. Bitter, angry, and grief-stricken, Brandon tries to cope through his art and his drinking. Although he meets Cary, his first lover in five years, Brandon´s drinking gets worse. Eventually, he stops drinking, breaks up with Cary, and begins a new life.

"Edric and Lucy are probably my favorite couple in the Hemsworth Brothers series. You will love them so much. I really couldn't put this one down. This is a need-to one-click book." ~ B.Wise, Amazon Top 1K Reviewer "This book will give you a major case of the laugh out louds and a big dose of the feels." ~ Gladys, Goodreads Top 5 Reviewer She is a good time--trouble, but fun. And I'm here for a good time, not a long time. So let the good times roll. "You're a bad idea." "But..." she ventured. "But I like bad ideas." We don't make mistakes, right? Just happy little accidents. At least that's what Bob Ross said. And my dad. Yep, he says that, too. Every year, on my birthday, he reminds me I'm a 'happy little accident' because the condom broke. But, hey! Wasn't the creation of penicillin a happy accident that resulted from the discovery of mold growing in an agar dish? And while that accidental discovery changed the course of medicine, Lucy changed the course of my life. Like a staph infection that somehow turns into an abscess that takes over your limbs, Lucy took over my heart--quickly, painfully, unexpectedly, but treatable with antibiotics. Bold, brash and unapologetically herself, Lucy represents anarchy from women I typically dated. She is my 'Beautiful Oops.' Lucy Lawless is my good mistake. Note: THE GOOD MISTAKE is a full-length novel packed with humor and heart. It's Book 3 in the Hemsworth Brothers series, but it can also be read as a standalone. REVIEWS: "This book is nothing short of laugh out loud moments of pure hilariousness! I was rolling. Like stomach hurting from laughing. Highly recommend you read this book! ✮✮✮✮✮" ~ Book Momma "While Lucy and Edric's meet cute isn't a new concept, the way their relationship played out was beyond amazing. Their banter, the effortless back and forth, had me laughing out loud, smiling like a loon in public, and getting a little steamed up at certain points." ~ Traci, Goodreads "Edric and Lucy are one of the BEST couples ever! Best book that I have read in a long time and I read alot of books. This had everything I look for: funny, heartwarming, sexy, great characters, great second characters, good story line, and hot chemistry." ~ Sue, GR "Do not start this book unless you have all day to read it, because once you start you will not be able to put it down. I have loved all the books in this series, but Eric and Lucy's is my favorite." ~ Jeanene, GR "These two just fit together wonderfully. They were so well suited, the banter was hilarious. There was no over the top angst just a genuine love story which had them deal with things straight on. There was communication and honesty, what a refreshing change!" ~ P. White, GR "From start to finish expect non stop laughter! The back and forth banter between these two was amazing!" ~ Words We Love "The Good Mistake is a tale of an unexpected duo who decide to fake a relationship and don't really realize when they stop faking it. Isn't that the usual story? But this one is a bit different." ~ Mells View "The banter and one-liners were classic." ~ Sarah Green "Lucy and Edric are an absolute riot." ~ Amy, Goodreads

Download or read book Memories of a Gay Catholic Boyhood written by John D'Emilio and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John D’Emilio is one of the leading historians of his generation and a pioneering figure in the field of LGBTQ history. At times his life has been seemingly at odds with his upbringing. How does a boy from an Italian immigrant family in which everyone unfailingly went to confession and Sunday Mass become a lapsed Catholic? How does a family who worshipped Senator Joseph McCarthy and supported Richard Nixon produce an antiwar activist and pacifist? How does a family in which the word divorce was never spoken raise a son who comes to explore the hidden gay sexual underworld of New York City? Memories of a Gay Catholic Boyhood is D’Emilio’s coming-of-age story in which he takes readers from his working-class Bronx neighborhood to an elite Jesuit high school in Manhattan to Columbia University and the political and social upheavals of the late 1960s. He shares his personal experiences of growing up in a conservative, tight-knit, multigenerational family, how he went from considering entering the priesthood to losing his faith and coming to terms with his same-sex desires. Throughout, D’Emilio outlines his complicated relationship with his family while showing how his passion for activism influenced his decision to use research, writing, and teaching to build a strong LGBTQ movement. This is not just John D’Emilio’s personal story; it opens a window into how the conformist baby boom decade of the 1950s transformed into the tumultuous years of radical social movements and widespread protest during the 1960s. It is the story of what happens when different cultures and values collide and the tensions and possibilities for personal discovery and growth that emerge. Intimate and honest, D’Emilio’s story will resonate with anyone who has had to chart their own path in a world they did not expect to find.

Download or read book 100 Ways God Speaks to You written by Robert A. Avila and published by Platinum Pearl Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “ ‘Call out,’ the voice asserted. This direction edged into my brain and flooded my mental realm…” God can speak to any of us, anytime—but how do we hear Him? Christian author, Robert Avila, didn’t always recognize God speaking to him, until he discovered a pattern. In a collection of short stories from his life, Avila shares specific moments he acted upon promptings from a still small voice—saw the outcome—and noticed God using him as a vehicle to carry out tiny—and sometimes enormous—miracles. But how did Robert know it wasn’t just his own thoughts? In this collection of interactions with God told in short-story form, he explains how God breaks the chains of religious indoctrination and sets us on the narrow path. He teaches us the techniques God uses to draw us nearer to Him and guide us toward our life’s purposes. Perhaps God is speaking to you, but you don’t recognize His voice. Just like there are hundreds of radio waves—some producing clear sounds, others inaudible—there are more than 100 ways God communicates. In this book, Robert Avila teaches you how to transform your faith—tune-in—and hear Him.
