Download or read book The Secret Life of Eva Hathaway written by Janice Weber and published by . This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chick lit classic first published in 1985, The Secret Life of Eva Hathaway returns, hilarious and wicked as ever, for a new generation of fans. "I love my husband. The man married me when he didn't even have to. Then he set me up in a huge house to domesticate the kinks out of my system while he ran his computer company." So begins the saga of Eva Hathaway, the randy heroine who leaves a raft of heartbroken suitors when she elopes with entrepreneur Martin Weaver and moves from New York to Boston. Martin's frequent road trips provide Eva with the calm necessary to pursue her stellar career as Fanny May Tingle, award winning composer of hymns. Despite the lingering disapproval of her blueblood mother-in-law Ruth, who would love a grandchild, Eva's marriage to Martin succeeds for four placid years. She assuages her homesickness for Manhattan with visits to Richard Weintraub, who designs artwork for her hymns, and Lionel Boyd, a high school confidante now a gay Broadway costume designer. As Martin's absences become prolonged and a void grows inside, Eva manages to stay on the straight and narrow by composing nonstop, working out, and parrying the ravings of her alcoholic mother Chuck. Eva's formula seems to work until, one snowy afternoon, she goes to the Y for a course in self-defense. Instructor Paul Fox, a moonlighting tenor, at once identifies his new pupil as half insane, half genius, and 200% nymphomaniac. After several false starts that would make The Taming of the Shrew look like a christening, Fox and Eva connect...to put it mildly. Conscience, lust, guilt, and that odd duck, joy, clash in a bawdy and hilarious comedy, a moving love story, and a social satire that continues to reverberate with today's reader.

Book excerpt: It’s the year 2000, and twenty-four-year-old Kate moves into a new apartment to find a new state of independence in a new millennium. Almost immediately, she starts crushing on a hot guy who lives in her building. Deciding to take a break from her boyfriend Dexter, Kate believes the only thing now separating her from the fresh object of her sexual fantasies is the thin wall between their neighboring apartments. A former 1920s hotel, Camden Court has housed many lonely lives over the decades—and is where a number of them have come to die. They're not all resting in peace, however, including ninety-year-old Olive, who dropped dead in Kate’s apartment and continues to make her presence known. For Olive has a secret she’s dying to tell. One linking her to the sex, scandal, and sacrifice of a young dreamer named Lon. As the past haunts the present, Kate’s romantic notion that the thrill-of-the-chase beats the reality-after-the-catch unexpectedly entwines her modern-day love life with Lon’s Jazz Age tragedy. With a little supernatural and a lotta' razzle-dazzle, Seven for a Secret is where historical fiction meets contemporary rom-com—from the Roaring Twenties when the “New Woman” was born, to the modern Noughties when she really came of age.

Download or read book Bound Like Grass written by Ruth McLaughlin and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the start of this haunting memoir, Ruth McLaughlin returns to the site of her childhood home in rural eastern Montana. In place of her family's house, she finds only rubble and a blackened chimney. A fire has taken the old farmstead and with it ninety-seven years of hard-luck memories. Amidst the ruins, a lone tree survives, reminding her of her family's stubborn will to survive despite hardships that included droughts, hunger, and mental illness. Bound Like Grass is McLaughlin's account of her own — and her family's — struggle to survive on their isolated wheat and cattle farm. With acute observation, she explores her roots as a descendant of Swedish American grandparents who settled in Montana at the turn of the twentieth century with high ambitions, and of parents who barely managed to eke out a living on their own neighboring farm. In unvarnished prose, McLaughlin reveals the costs of homesteading on such unforgiving land, including emotional impoverishment and a necessary thrift bordering on deprivation. Yet in this bleak world, poverty also inspired ingenuity. Ruth learned to self-administer a fashionable razor haircut, ignoring slashes to her hands; her brother taught himself to repair junk cars until at last he built one to carry him far away. Ruth also longs for a richer, brighter life, but when she finally departs, she finds herself an alien in a modern world of relative abundance. While leaving behind a life of hardship and hard luck, she remains bound — like the long, intertwining roots of prairie grass — to the land and to the memories that tie her to it.
