Download or read book A Light Rain of Grace written by Jeannette Sears and published by Treehouse Studios LLC. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Light Rain of Grace is an insider's tour of a rock star's life outside the spotlight. Spanning the years 1967 to 1992, the novel careens through the heyday of the Haight Ashbury rock & roll scene, into the drug taking and general madness of a band on the road, and collides with the death squads of El Salvador in the 1980s. Emma Allison has been on the fast track for eight years. Raped by a family friend at age thirteen, she becomes a drug addict and learns to always be in control in her relationships with men. She and her best friend/publicist, Carol, tour the world and go through one man after another in the spirit of playfulness prevalent in the San Francisco scene of the sixties and early seventies. Their escapades are often hilarious as they are living the rock star dream, but the drug abuse eventually catches up with them and tragedy strikes.

Download or read book American Jewish Filmmakers written by David Desser and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-04-17 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Sidney Lumet, and Paul Mazursky, all sons of East European Jews, remain among the most prominent contemporary American film directors. In this revised, updated second edition of American Jewish Filmmakers, David Desser and Lester D. Friedman demonstrate how the Jewish experience gives rise to an intimately linked series of issues in the films of these and other significant Jewish directors. The effects of the Holocaust linger, both in gripping dramatic form (Mazursky's Enemies, a Love Story) and in black comedy (Brooks's The Producers). In his trilogy consisting of Serpico, Prince of the City, and Q&A, Lumet focuses on the failure of society's institutions to deliver social justice. Woody Allen portrays urban life and family relationships (Manhattan and Hannah and Her Sisters), sometimes with a nostalgic twist (Radio Days). This edition concludes with a newly written discussion of the careers of other prominent Jewish filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, Barry Levinson, Brian Singer, and Darren Aronofsky.

After orchestrating a scandalous high-society ruse, Lady Jeannette Brantford is banished from her family’s estate in England and sent to live with boring elderly cousins in the Irish countryside.

En route to her dreaded destination, she encounters Darragh O’Brien, a devilishly handsome architect who transforms Jeannette’s punishment into a delicious whirlwind of wits, words, and undeniable passion.

Little does she know, her dashing Irishman is no commoner. He’s the eleventh Earl of Mulholland–and he’s thoroughly enjoying the irresistible game of hard-to-get.
