Download or read book Rain on the Just written by Kathleen Morehouse and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1980 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nominating Rain on the Just for the 1936 Pulitzer Prize, Ray Erwin of the Charlotte Observer wrote, “This is the finest novel produced in North Carolina in this generation, and I don’t remember any of past generations that measures up to it.” But Mrs. Morehouse was an outsider (Massachusetts), and many of her neighbors, affronted by the novel of “Least Dolly Allen” and the folk around Hanging Dog Creek, suggested “hanging Massachusetts witches.” This novel preserves the language and the folkways of the mountain natives: Least Dolly Allen, Bilow Bumgarner, Click Winkler, Trealy Sexton, Rance Drake, Tedroe Jarvis, and others. These people provide the focus of this ballad-like story set in the foothills of the Carolina Blue Ridge. Of Mrs. Morehouse’s power as a novelist, Edwin Granberry of the New York Sun wrote: “The reader is made to feel chagrin at his lack of charity toward the sinner, embarrassment at his failure to foresee the wickedness of the good. This is character portrayal of a high order.”

Download or read book The Color of Bee Larkham s Murder written by Sarah J. Harris and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A boy with synesthesia—a condition that causes him to see colors when he hears sounds—tries to uncover what happened to his beautiful new neighbor—and if he was ultimately responsible in this “compelling and emotionally charged mystery that warrants comparisons to Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” (Library Journal). In this highly original “fantastic debut” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), thirteen-year-old Jasper Wishart lives in a world of dazzling color that no one else can see, least of all his dad. Words, numbers, days of the week, people’s voices—everything has its own unique shade. But recently Jasper has been haunted by a color he doesn’t like or understand: the color of murder. Convinced he’s done something terrible to his neighbor, Bee Larkham, Jasper revisits the events of the last few months to paint the story of their relationship from the very beginning. As he struggles to untangle the knot of untrustworthy memories and colors that will lead him to the truth, it seems that there’s someone else out there determined to stop him—at any cost. Full of page-turning suspense and heart-wrenching poignancy—as well as plenty of humor—The Color of Bee Larkham’s Murder is “completely original and impossible to predict” (Benjamin Ludwig, author of Ginny Moon) with a unique hero who will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Rain's The Lost Ark is a breakneck thriller that traces the thread of history from Biblical stories to current-day headlines. Be prepared to lose sleep!"--James Rollins, international bestselling author of the "Sigma Force" series ★★★★★ "J.R. Rain weaves a tapestry of interesting, believable characters with a dynamite plot. You will root for the heroes, want to cry a bit in the ending chapters. This book makes you wonder, what if the ark really was found in this day in age. What would society believe as a whole after a find like that was authenticated? The Lost Ark has a lot of action for those of us that like that genre and plenty of mystery." ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "I have personally been in the Land of Noah and have been mesmerized by the beauty and mystery of Mount Ararat. My adventure was calm and rather spiritual. J. R. Rain's The Lost Ark is far from calm. It is a thrill ride from the first few pages! And spiritual..... while that interpretation will be left up to the reader. Reads like an Indiana Jones story. I read it in two sittings." ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "The Lost Ark was riveting, you were rooting for Sam and Faye to survive while searching for her father and the lost ark. An excellent adventure story that I truly hope to see in a movie someday!" ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "The Lost Ark by J.R. Rain is an excellent read! I love a book full of action and adventure and a great hero and heroine. This book has it all and the best of villains! The finding of the ark was exciting and on the edge of my seat the pages just seem to turn themselves. I couldn't wait to get closer to the ending of this book that is full of intrigue. Of course when I did, I was sad it was over. I love J.R. Rain books and can't wait to read more of them. I highly recommend The Lost Ark and hope you enjoy it as much as I did!" ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ "The Lost Ark is jam-packed with adventure, action, and a little romance thrown in for good measure. The main character, Sam Ward, is a typical J R Rain tough guy with an off beat sense of humor. I would LOVE to see a movie made from this book." ―Amazon reviewer

Download or read book The Rain in Portugal written by Billy Collins and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins comes a twelfth collection of poetry offering over fifty new poems that showcase the generosity, wit, and imaginative play that prompted The Wall Street Journal to call him “America’s favorite poet.” The Rain in Portugal—a title that admits he’s not much of a rhymer—sheds Collins’s ironic light on such subjects as travel and art, cats and dogs, loneliness and love, beauty and death. His tones range from the whimsical—“the dogs of Minneapolis . . . / have no idea they’re in Minneapolis”—to the elegiac in a reaction to the death of Seamus Heaney. A student of the everyday, Collins here contemplates a weather vane, a still life painting, the calendar, and a child lost at a beach. His imaginative fabrications have Shakespeare flying comfortably in first class and Keith Richards supporting the globe on his head. By turns entertaining, engaging, and enlightening, The Rain in Portugal amounts to another chorus of poems from one of the most respected and familiar voices in the world of American poetry. Praise for The Rain in Portugal “Nothing in Billy Collins’s twelfth book . . . is exactly what readers might expect, and that’s the charm of this collection.”—The Washington Post “This new collection shows [Collins] at his finest. . . . Certain to please his large readership and a good place for readers new to Collins to begin.”—Library Journal “Disarmingly playful and wistfully candid.”—Booklist

Boomer, a kangaroo from New South Wales, Australia, and Matilda, a koala bear from Queensland, Australia, had never traveled out of their homeland. On the final leg of their journey, the truck in which they were being transported spun out of control in a violent rainstorm. As a result, the truck flipped on its side and slid for several yards before stopping. Their cages were tossed about inside the truck, and when the truck stopped sliding, the doors of their cages sprang open, as did the doors to the truck itself. Boomer and Matilda, shaken but uninjured, found themselves in an unknown land, in a bad storm, and in the dark. They were frightened, tired, hungry, and lost! Little did they know at the time, but they were going to be tracked by the zoologist responsible for their transport to the zoo and the Texas State Trooper trying to solve the mystery of the truck accident. And as if that weren't enough, an overeager reporter seeking fame by "saving" the community from wild animals was also hot on their trail. Two escaped "wild" animals, an eager reporter, a confused zoologist, and a determined state trooper all cross paths in this first adventure of Boomer and Matilda. They were about to embark on an adventure that will forever change their lives!
