Download or read book Kitty Continues written by Christi Pope and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2024-09-27 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You’ve met the Porter family before, haven’t you? You’ve met Kitty Porter, her five grown children, along with their loved ones, and others involved in their journey through life. In this sequel to Counting On Kitty, you’ll catch up on what has happened since then in their lives. You’ll catch up with Daniel, who is in a much better place than before, but still has his anxious moments to work through; Nancy, whose rebellious nature has changed, she’s found that a calm life is a much happier life; Phillip, still the dependable, tender-hearted family man who can always be counted on; Cynthia, whose actions prove that some people never change and so have to live with the results of their choices; and Douglas, the baby of the family, whose dreams have all come true. Every person has their own path to walk; some of those paths run adjacent to one another and intersect frequently, especially among family members who help each other move along and need that comfortable closeness. It’s not uncommon for another’s path to run in a completely opposite direction. Some go their own way without help and find they like going it alone. Situations can arise that force the independent’s path to make a turn back towards the rest of the family, even for a short time. Life can change in an instant, but the family group is a unit that is ultimately bound together in happy times or in time spent in great despair.

Book excerpt: When love runs wild, there’s no telling what might blossom. When the restless, rootless Fanny Flynn lands the job as Head Teacher of Fiddleford Village Primary School it feels more like a last resort than another of her new beginnings. She’s a great teacher and all the villagers claim to be behind her. But are they really? In no time she’s locked in a feud with the gruesome Mrs Guppy, stalked by the pushy newcomers from the Old Rectory, plotted against by Kitty, the predatory children's author at Laurel Cottage, and demonised by her pathologically lazy Deputy Head . . . Yet Fanny has fallen in love with Fiddleford. Together with her troublesomely handsome best friend, Louis, and with a little help from the deliciously scented Solomon Creasey, Fanny vows to make this new beginning her last . . . Praise for Daisy Waugh: ‘A witty and romantic read’—Company ‘Sparkling fun’—Heat ‘Full of laugh-out-loud funny bits’—New Woman
Download or read book The Lives Before Us written by Juliet Conlin and published by Black & White Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I wasn't sure I liked the sound of it. Even my vivid imagination could hardly fathom a place as tight, or dense, or narrow as Shanghai." It's April 1939 and, with their lives in Berlin and Vienna under threat, Esther and Kitty - two very different women - are forced to make the same brutal choice. Flee Europe, or face the ghetto, incarceration, death. Shanghai, they've heard, Shanghai is a haven - and so they secure passage to the other side of the world. What they find is a city of extremes - wealth, poverty, decadence and disease - and of deep political instability. Kitty has been lured there with promises of luxury, love, marriage - but when her Russian fiancé reveals his hand she's left to scratch a vulnerable living in Shanghai's nightclubs and dark corners. Meanwhile, Esther and her little girl take shelter in a house of widows until the protection of Aaron, Esther's hot-headed former lover, offers new hope of survival. Then the Japanese military enters the fray and violence mounts. As Kitty's dreams of escape are dashed, and Esther's relationship becomes tainted, the two women are thrown together in the city's most desperate times. Together they must fight for a future for the lives that will follow theirs. A sweeping story of survival, community and friendship in defiance of the worst threat to humanity the world has ever faced. From the author of the extraordinary The Uncommon Life of Alfred Warner in Six Days, The Lives Before Us will particularly resonate with readers of Jeremy Dronfield (The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz), Anthony Doerr (All the Light We Cannot See), Heather Morris (The Tattooist of Auschwitz), and Costa-winner Bart van Es (The Cut Out Girl). PRAISE FOR THE LIVES BEFORE US: 'Juliet Conlin vividly recreates the lost world of wartime Shanghai's Jewish ghetto - a place of hope and despair in equal measure; a city of temporary refuge, yet continuing daily struggle. I was absorbed.' - PAUL FRENCH, 'Shanghai's champion storyteller' and author of City of Devils 'The Lives Before Us opens up a captivating new world in a war I thought I knew about, a raucous Casablanca transposed to the East, filled with the intrigues of outcasts and determined survivors.' - ALEX CHRISTOFI, author of Glass 'Juliet Conlin brings wartime Shanghai to vividly to life with a wealth of fascinating detail.' - SARA SHERIDAN, author of The Ice Maiden 'Chronicles the courage and endurance of two women in wartime Shanghai, separated, then reunited, in a dangerous and desperate place. Strongly drawn characters quickly demand attention, and empathy, and their compelling story charts a little known aspect of the Second World War, and of a persecution felt far beyond Europe.' - SARAH MAINE, author of The House Between Tides

Ghost whisperer, Gianna Mancini, has been communicating with the dearly departed since she was a child. It’s been a lonely gift that she’s kept hidden from everyone other than family and a few close friends. As far as the rest of the world knows, ghosts aren’t real. Until now… When dance instructor, Nadia Petrov, is killed and falls into a mirror during her collapse, her spirit seeps into the glass and can be seen by anyone who passes. Much like Bloody Mary, she jumps from mirror to mirror, but unlike the urban legend, Nadia delights in scaring and then cackling at those unfortunate enough to be around—earning her new nickname, Screama Ballerina. Gianna has no intention of getting involved in solving Nadia’s death until the police question Gianna’s fifteen-year-old niece, who’s clearly lying about something. Now, Gianna must figure out who had it in for the controlling dancer in order to clear her niece’s name and help Screama Ballerina move on.
