Mach Powers lives the dream. What more could he want? He’s Dimefront’s guitarist. He lives by his own rules and gets pretty much everything he wants. But there is one issue. When he swipes right for a pretend publicity date with a fan he falls straight into dinner with Darla Davis. His world is suddenly out of whack and everything he thought he wanted goes out the window. Coming off a failed engagement with one of the doctors at her hospital, the only thing Darla wants is privacy and a chance to find her footing again. Finally ready to get back out there, she swipes right for an online date. Only the “date” is a publicity stunt with a rockstar. Her not-so-fake date now has her on the cover of tabloids as America’s “new” sweetheart. There goes her privacy and her sanity. Mach and his team swear they’ll fix it and get her back to her quiet life. However, when things start to heat up for real this time, is Mach willing to give up his preferred single lifestyle? More importantly will Darla give up her peace and quiet for the love of a rockstar?

Download or read book A Girl s Journey written by Paméla Tate-Roger and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-02-21 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Girls Journey: There's No Crying in Baseball is a childrens book illustrating the character and integrity of a young trailblazer. My name is Pamla Tate-Roger, the author of this groundbreaking project and mother of this young trailblazer named Leiyah. A Girls Journey: There's No Crying in Baseball is based on my daughters experience in becoming the first female baseball player at her middle school in San Francisco, California. In addition to that, she became the first female baseball player to ever play in a SFUSD Boys Middle School Baseball Championship, and ultimately, she became the first female player to ever play on a SFUSD Middle School Boys Championship Baseball Team in 2013. This groundbreaking life event was written for the purpose of teaching children and families about fortitude, integrity, gender roles, and the concept of team. Since the Championship game in 2013, Leiyahs middle school team went on to play in the 2014 playoffs, but they were eliminated in the second round. Leiyah has been fortunate to have selected to play for San Francisco Rec and Parks first ever All-Girls Baseball Team, the San Francisco Bay Sox, who will represent the City and County of San Francisco in the Inaugural Baseball For All Tournament in Orlando, FL May 30 June 4, 2015 (visit www.baseballforall.com for more information). The world has undergone such drastic changes in how gender roles are formulated and shaped within the last couple of decades. Women have made great strides in civil, academic, and professional arenas; however, many areas remain male-dominated. Even with the 2014 success of Mone Davis, the first girl to earn a win and to pitch a shutout in the Little League World Series, a girls road in this male dominated sport is riddled with bumps and bruises. A Girls Journey: There's No Crying in Baseball is written to illustrate how destructive bullying and antiquated stereotypes can be, as well as how growth and strength comes from hard work and perseverance when a girl decides do something out of the "normal confines of society and she decides she wants to play baseball. The book contains fifty-eight pages, twenty-four illustrations, and is in hardcover as well as e-book format. The book contains 12 site words, 18 challenge words, and 5 open-ended discussion questions and 1,898 words. This book is self-published and will be available online, in stores, or on my website at www.pamelatateroger.com, on May 1, 2015. We are currently scheduling book-signing events, children's writing workshops, and other promotional opportunities. Please contact my support team at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!

Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller, The Sound of Gravel is the remarkable true story of one girl's coming-of-age in a polygamist Mormon Doomsday cult. “A haunting, harrowing testament to survival." — People Magazine “An addictive chronicle of a polygamist community.” — New York Magazine Ruth Wariner was the thirty-ninth of her father’s forty-two children. Growing up on a farm in rural Mexico, where authorities turned a blind eye to the practices of her community, Ruth lives in a ramshackle house without indoor plumbing or electricity. At church, preachers teach that God will punish the wicked by destroying the world and that women can only ascend to Heaven by entering into polygamous marriages and giving birth to as many children as possible. After Ruth's father--the man who had been the founding prophet of the colony--is brutally murdered by his brother in a bid for church power, her mother remarries, becoming the second wife of another faithful congregant. In need of government assistance and supplemental income, Ruth and her siblings are carted back and forth between Mexico and the United States, where her mother collects welfare and her step-father works a variety of odd jobs. Ruth comes to love the time she spends in the States, realizing that perhaps the community into which she was born is not the right one for her. As Ruth begins to doubt her family’s beliefs and question her mother’s choices, she struggles to balance her fierce love for her siblings with her determination to forge a better life for herself. Recounted from the innocent and hopeful perspective of a child, The Sound of Gravel is the remarkable true story of a girl fighting for peace and love. This is an intimate, gripping book resonant with triumph, courage, and resilience.

Download or read book The Year without a Purchase written by Scott Dannemiller and published by Presbyterian Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Year without a Purchase is the story of one family's quest to stop shopping and start connecting. Scott Dannemiller and his wife, Gabby, are former missionaries who served in Guatemala. Ten years removed from their vow of simple living, they found themselves on a never-ending treadmill of consumption where each purchase created a desire for more and never led to true satisfaction. The difference between needs and wants had grown very fuzzy, and making that distinction clear again would require drastic action: no nonessential purchases for a whole year. No clothes, no books, no new toys for the kids. If they couldn't eat it or use it up within a year (toilet paper and shampoo, for example), they wouldn't buy it. Filled with humorous wit, curious statistics, and poignant conclusions, the book examines modern America's spending habits and chronicles the highs and lows of dropping out of our consumer culture. As the family bypasses the checkout line to wrestle with the challenges of gift giving, child rearing, and keeping up with the Joneses, they discover important truths about human nature and the secret to finding true joy. The Year without a Purchase offers valuable food for thought for anyone who has ever wanted to reduce stress by shopping less and living more.

Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home. “Beautiful and propulsive . . .
