Book excerpt: A riveting story of heroism, heartache, and the power of love to heal all wounds by bestselling author Charles Martin. Murphy Shepherd is a man with many secrets. He lives alone on an island, tending the grounds of a church with no parishioners, and he’s dedicated his life to rescuing those in peril. But as he mourns the loss of his mentor and friend, Murph himself may be more lost than he realizes. When he pulls a beautiful woman named Summer out of Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway, Murph’s mission to lay his mentor to rest at the end of the world takes a dangerous turn. Drawn to Summer, and desperate to find her missing daughter, Murph is pulled deeper and deeper into the dark and dangerous world of modern-day slavery. With help from some unexpected new friends, including a faithful Labrador he plucks from the ocean and an ex-convict named Clay, Murph must race against the clock to locate the girl before he is consumed by the secrets of his past—and the ghosts who tried to bury them.

Download or read book Fifty Two More Stories for Boys Classic Reprint written by W. H. G. Kingston and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty-Two More Stories for Boys While nature keeps up the supply of boys and girls, men and women must keep pace with their requirements, and it behoves us all, whether tailors or editors, to rise to our responsibilities in providing clothing for their bodies and food for their minds. That our supplies should exceed the demand no one need fear: the modern boy has developed a prowess for the destruction of clothing, and a voracity in the assimilation of fiction, that his father never knew; and were it not that his own career is full of the life and incident from which stories may be made for the boy next door, the author and the editor might well fear the exhaustion of materials. Some one has said that the story of any life must be of interest; and if this be true we have only to pass our life stories on from door to door, receiving from the neighbour on our left, and handing on to the neighbour on our right, in order to keep up a continual supply of stories so numerous as to be utterly exhaustless, for by the time our own story has circulated the world, and come back to the old home once more, the house will be empty and the tenant gone.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Schoolmaster's Stories: For Boys and Girls Some years ago there was a party of forty or fifty boys who met at my house once a week, and to them I often told stories. They sat on the arms of my chair, hung themselves over the back of it, squatted by my feet on the floor, and leaned on one another's shoulders. I noticed that they were particularly eager for stories that had the smell of the frontier about them. I believe I have told in this book some of the very stories that used to amuse these good fellows, who got a great hold on my heart by listening to my stories and liking them. Dear boys! I thought of dedicating the book to them, but they are all gone. Not dead - I did not say that But in five or six years every rascal of them has shot up into something like a young man. Some of them are raising little patches of faint-looking beard on their upper lips, and some of them are nearly six feet high. Think of dedicating a story book to sophomores, and store-clerks, and such like! Its a way boys have. Just when you think you've got a boy, he turns to a man. Boys and tadpoles are uncertain things. There are some queer little improbable, unbelievable, half-fairy-story sort of things here, which I have often given in small doses to girls. They have generally taken them as kindly as they would have taken sugar-plums or pickles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jo's Boys, and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to "Little Men" Having been written at long intervals during the past seven years, this story is more faulty than any of its very imperfect predecessors but the desire to atone for an unavoidable disappointment, and to please my patient little friends, has urged me to let it go without further delay. To account for the seeming neglect of amy, let me add, that, since the original of that character died, it has been impossible for me to write of her as when she was here to suggest, criticise, and laugh over her name sake. The same excuse applies to marmee. But the folded leaves are not blank to those who knew and loved them, and can find memorials of them in what ever is cheerful, true, or helpful in these pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boys of Other Countries: Stories for American Boys Ours is not the only country in which children must frequently begin, at an early age, to do their share of work and accustom themselves to make their way in life. I have found many instances among other races, and in other climates, of youthful courage, and self-reliance, and strength of character, some of which I propose to relate to you. This one shall be the story of my adventure with a little post-boy, in the northern part of Sweden. Very few foreigners travel in Sweden in the winter, on account of the intense cold. As you go northward from Stockholm, the capital, the country becomes ruder and wilder, and the climate more severe. In the sheltered valleys along the Gulf of Bothnia and the rivers which empty into it, there are farms and villages for a distance of seven or eight hundred miles, after which fruit-trees disappear, and nothing will grow in the short, cold summers except potatoes and a little barley.
