The main character progresses from college to becoming an adult. Overcoming an imbedded belief or coming to terms with adult issues is not always easy or pretty to watch. If I've done my job well as an author, there will be times when you yell at my protagonist to grow up, get their head out of their butt, or to stop worrying so much. Hopefully, by the end of each book, you will cheer the protagonist as they grow, change, and mature into an adult.Of course, these are all romance novels, so the center of each story is the protagonist as they embrace their wonderful partner.

Download or read book The Rocket s Red Glare written by Kent A. Messer and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-11-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1982 a high school shooting shook the community of Sabreton, Pennsylvania. A year later signs of the shooting had been swept clean and students seemed to take events in stride. For Gary, an insecure 1983 Sabreton freshman, this only added to his anxiety as he began what promised to be a humiliating year of school. The Rocket’s Red Glare is a story of the friendships that sustained, inspired and ultimately carried Gary through those turbulent years. He and his friends were, for the most part, middle class kids who were drawn to the New Wave and Punk music popular at that time. For them, drinking, dancing, and loving it all seemed so right but ended so badly. Five years after high school Gary is now on his own. He is an aspiring artist balancing a hatred for his corporate day job with his live-in girlfriend’s desire for stability. But soon his world will change when he receives a call from an old friend. An impromptu road trip across America, a tape of a long forgotten band and a suicide force him to face the question of whether he has really survived anything.

Download or read book Through Astronaut Eyes written by Jennifer K. Levasseur and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring over seventy images from the heroic age of space exploration, Through Astronaut Eyes presents the story of how human daring along with technological ingenuity allowed people to see the Earth and stars as they never had before. Photographs from the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs tell powerful and compelling stories that continue to have cultural resonance to this day, not just for what they revealed about the spaceflight experience, but also as products of a larger visual rhetoric of exploration. The photographs tell us as much about space and the astronauts who took them as their reception within an American culture undergoing radical change throughout the turbulent 1960s. This book explores the origins and impact of astronaut still photography from 1962 to 1972, the period when human spaceflight first captured the imagination of people around the world. Photographs taken during those three historic programs are much admired and reprinted, but rarely seriously studied. This book suggests astronaut photography is particularly relevant to American culture based on how easily the images were shared through reproduction and circulation in a very visually oriented society. Space photography’s impact at the crossroads of cultural studies, the history of exploration and technology, and public memory illuminates its continuing importance to American identity.
