Book excerpt: Author of Reese's Book Club YA Pick The Light in Hidden Places, Sharon Cameron, delivers an emotionally gripping and utterly immersive thriller, perfect for fans of Ruta Sepetys's Salt to the Sea. In 1946, Eva leaves behind the rubble of Berlin for the streets of New York City, stepping from the fiery aftermath of one war into another, far colder one, where power is more important than principles, and lies are more plentiful than the truth. Eva holds the key to a deadly secret: Project Bluebird -- a horrific experiment of the concentration camps, capable of tipping the balance of world power. Both the Americans and the Soviets want Bluebird, and it is something that neither should ever be allowed to possess. But Eva hasn't come to America for secrets or power. She hasn't even come for a new life. She has come to America for one thing: justice. And the Nazi that has escaped its net. Critically acclaimed author of The Light in Hidden Places Sharon Cameron weaves a taut and affecting thriller ripe with intrigue and romance in this alternately chilling and poignant portrait of the personal betrayals, terrifying injustices, and deadly secrets that seethe beneath the surface in the aftermath of World War II.

Book excerpt: "This book offers a unique insight into the land and water speed record-breaking dynasty. Gina Campbell, last surviving member of a remarkable dynasty, will forever be most closely associated with the fatal attempt by her father to break the water speed record in his astounding boat. In that sense she is indeed the 'daughter of Bluebird' - and has played a ceaseless role in the boat's restoration. In this absorbing autobiography she talks about: her life with Donald Campbell as father, early-day 'celebrity', and holder of many world records on land and water; her personal life - three failed marriages, a suicide attempt and finding happiness in her later life; her power-boating career and setting two women's world water speed records in 1984 and 1990; her reaction to her father's death while attempting to set a new world water speed record on Coniston Water in January 1967; her complete shock at the discovery of Bluebird and Donald Campbell's body by divers in 2001; her decision to authorize the removal of the boat and Campbell's remains from the lake despite widespread opposition; and the decision to restore Bluebird and house her in the Ruskin Museum on Coniston Water."--Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: A "heartbreakingly resonant" thriller about the explosive intersection of love, race, and justice from a writer and producer of the Emmy-winning Fox TV show Empire (USA Today). "In Bluebird, Bluebird Attica Locke had both mastered the thriller and exceeded it."-Ann Patchett When it comes to law and order, East Texas plays by its own rules -- a fact that Darren Mathews, a black Texas Ranger, knows all too well. Deeply ambivalent about growing up black in the lone star state, he was the first in his family to get as far away from Texas as he could. Until duty called him home. When his allegiance to his roots puts his job in jeopardy, he travels up Highway 59 to the small town of Lark, where two murders -- a black lawyer from Chicago and a local white woman -- have stirred up a hornet's nest of resentment. Darren must solve the crimes -- and save himself in the process -- before Lark's long-simmering racial fault lines erupt. From a writer and producer of the Emmy winning Fox TV show Empire, Bluebird, Bluebird is a rural noir suffused with the unique music, color, and nuance of East Texas.

Download or read book Bluebird written by Ariel Gore and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2010-01-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CAN A WOMAN BE SMART, EMPOWERED, AND HAPPY ? Happiness has become a serious business. Where twentiethcentury psychology focused on depression and illness, in the new millennium scientists have begun focusing on “positive psychology”—the study of happiness. Ariel Gore first became intrigued by this subject when she discovered that Positive Psychology was the most popular course on the Harvard campus. As she read deeper into the topic, she noticed something disturbing: everyone in this happy land was a man. Worse still, some of these new “experts” seemed hell-bent on proving that women with traditional values and breadwinning husbands—those who had made “an effort to expect less,” according to one sociologist—were more content than women with feminist values. The more she read the more she wondered: Can a woman be smart, empowered, and happy? Determined to find out, Gore began her own “study in living”— a journey into the feminine history, science, and experience of happiness. Her results, chronicled with humor and curiosity in Bluebird, are by turns fascinating and enriching. A woman’s happiness may not come easy, and it may not take the forms prescribed by popular culture. But, as Gore discovers, it is not only possible but necessary. Bluebird is a smart, no-nonsense, uplifting study of the real secret of joy, and whether it’s truly at odds with the goals of modern women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In more recent years, when I had written a poem I felt our children would enjoy reading them...( or maybe just to brag because I thought it was good), I would send it via a text message to each of them. Our daughter Jeni came to visit one day. She brought a large 3 ring binder with 100 plastic sleeves to organize and collect my works. Each sleeve is numbered with a corresponding title page. She named the work...His Daughter's Treasures. She included her own artwork of the title inlaid over a large sailboat in the background with a large compass layered on top. On the spine of the folder is the title inlaid over a treasure chest. As soon as I realized I was really going to publish my work, I knew l wanted the title to be..."His Daughter's Treasures".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1970 Winfield Dunn set out to change the way politics were played in Tennessee. A virtual political unknown, he touted the then radical idea of a strong two-party state and a united Tennessee. From a Standing Start answers the question ?How in the world did a dentist from Memphis ever get to be the governor of our state?? In a time when ?Republican? was a dirty word, Winfield Dunn managed to gain support in one of the first closely watched, hard-fought, two-party gubernatorial races in Tennessee. He became the first Republican governor in fifty years. The complex conditions that enabled a dentist from Memphis to rise to the office of governor are herein revealed. Leaving partisanship behind, the governor worked to make life better for all Tennesseans, not just those of his party or his geographic region. His memoir offers a privileged view of the campaign trail and the office of the state's executive power.
