Book excerpt: "Martha is single, in her early 30s, and has lived in Baltimore all her life. But she is late to do what her friends and family expect her to do - marry and have children - and is instead involved with Edward, a man chosen precisely because she believes that he expects none of these things from her. When she begins to suspect otherwise, she leaves her familiar Italian neighborhood for a new job in the small-town South. Martha yearns to be free of the sense of having disappointed her family - and just about everyone. She tries to distract herself by befriending a new neighbor, having an affair with a local high school teacher. But the ache for resolution proves too strong. So she returns. The ride home is long and panicked and she gropes toward an understanding of how damage can be done without a word spoken. She is desperate for peace, for some small way to make things as right as she can. As Martha discovers a growing intimacy between Edward and her sister, she's forced to take responsibility for her isolation and to realize that even those things beyond repair can be redemptive in their own way."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Homeboyz written by Alan Lawrence Sitomer and published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan Lawrence Sitomer writes a compelling story of piecing together a life after a devastating loss--when the threat of violence lurks at every step. When Teddy Anderson's little sister Tina is gunned down randomly in a drive-by shooting, the gangstas who rule the streets in the Anderson family's rapidly deteriorating neighborhood dismiss the incident as just another case of wrong place, wrong time. According to gangsta logic, Tina doesn't even count as a statistic. After his elaborately laid plans for revenge against his sister's killer are foiled by the cops. Teddy soon finds himself in and then out of prison on house arrest, into the hands of Officer Mariana Diaz, the smart, tough probation officer assigned to oversee his endless hours of community service. As part of the innovative rehabilitation program Diaz runs, Teddy is assigned to tutor Micah, a twelve-year-old orphan and would-be gansta. As Teddy goes through the motions of complying with the terms of his probation, Diaz has no idea that he is using his genius-level computer hacker skills to plot his final vengeance and to defraud the state education system of hundreds of thousands of dollars. But even though Teddy thinks he knows it all, he fails to see how Micah's desperate need for love and trust just might have the power not only to pierce all Teddy's defenses, but to save his family.
Download or read book How written by Geoff Wyss and published by Ohio State University Prize in. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If every story is born of a question—How did we get here? How do you make your arm do that?—the stories in Geoff Wyss's How search for answers to the mysteries of an astonishing range of characters. The narrator of “How I Come to Be Here at the GasFast” explains why he hasn't left a truck stop in the two days since he scratched a winning lottery ticket. In “How to Be a Winner,” a sports consultant browbeats a high school football team with his theory of history and a justification of his failed coaching career. Lost in the mazes they've made of themselves, Wyss's characters search for exits on ground that shifts dizzyingly from humor to pathos, from cynicism to earnestness, from comedy to tragedy, often within the same sentence. Although propelled by a razor-sharp, contemporary voice, Wyss's stories—many set in a New Orleans unknown to television and tourists—have more in common with Chekhov and O'Connor than with “Treme.”

They want someone who can uphold their Catholic values and keep a motley group of largely unwilling students in line. The position is filled by mainlander Rachel O’Brien—technically a Catholic (baptized!), technically a teacher (honors degree!)—who’s desperate to leave her current mess of a life behind. She isn’t surprised that her students don’t see the value of learning French. But she is surprised that she can barely understand their English… Is it a compliment or insult to be called a sleeveen? (Insult.) And the anonymous notes left on her car, telling her to go home, certainly don’t help to make her feel welcome. Still, she is quickly drawn into the island’s traditional music and culture, and into the personal lives of her crusty but softhearted landlady, Lucille, her reluctant students and her fellow teacher Doug Bishop. But when her beliefs clash with church and community, she makes a decision that throws her career into jeopardy. In trying to help a student, has she gone too far? Full of warmth, humor, romance and the quirkiest community of characters… Get ready to be charmed by this impossibly delightful debut, perfect for fans of Kristan Higgins and Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

Download or read book The Robbers and Wallenstein written by F. Lamport and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1979-11-22 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) was one of the most influential of all playwrights, the author of deeply moving dramas that explored human fears, desires and ideals. Written at the age of twenty-one, The Robbers was his first play. A passionate consideration of liberty, fraternity and deep betrayal, it quickly established his fame throughout Germany and wider Europe. Wallenstein, produced nineteen years later, is regarded as Schiller's masterpiece: a deeply moving exploration of a flawed general's struggle to bring the Thirty Years War to an end against the will of his Emperor. Depicting the deep corruption caused by constant fighting between Protestants and Catholics, it is at once a meditation on the unbounded possible strength of humanity, and a tragic recognition of what can happen when men allow themselves to be weak.
