It's 1967 — the summer of love — sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. Mary's sons are grown. Her husband has left her for a woman who is young, beautiful and unencumbered by children. He also left her with enough money to live comfortably in an ocean-front house on the edge of Rio Del Mar beach. It’s a perfect house for parties. Mary is eager to inhale the music and freedom, the sex and altered states of consciousness that have permeated California. This might be her last chance to feel young, find love and regain her spirit. Home from college for the summer, Thomas is appalled by his mother's hippie houseguests. As he fights to put an end to Mary's decadent parties, he's forced to confront demons of his own. After witnessing a gruesome death, the summer of love grows cold and dark. Mary questions the circumstances of the death and wrestles with the ghost haunting the concrete ship. If you were there, or wish you were, you’ll love the ghosts of the summer of love.

Download or read book Fathomless written by Jackson Pearce and published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celia Reynolds is the youngest in a set of triplets and the one with the least valuable power. Anne can see the future, and Jane can see the present, but all Celia can see is the past. And the past seems so insignificant -- until Celia meets Lo. Lo doesn't know who she is. Or who she was. Once a human, she is now almost entirely a creature of the sea -- a nymph, an ocean girl, a mermaid -- all terms too pretty for the soulless monster she knows she's becoming. Lo clings to shreds of her former self, fighting to remember her past, even as she's tempted to embrace her dark immortality. When a handsome boy named Jude falls off a pier and into the ocean, Celia and Lo work together to rescue him from the waves. The two form a friendship, but soon they find themselves competing for Jude's affection. Lo wants more than that, though. According to the ocean girls, there's only one way for Lo to earn back her humanity. She must persuade a mortal to love her . . . and steal his soul.

Download or read book going off the beach written by Robert Garlick and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just two months after my 20th birthday, I was drafted into the US Army. Before my next birthday I arrived in the former Republic of South Vietnam; it was February 1969. I have been asked countless times over the last five decades: "What was Vietnam like?" For decades I could never give much of an answer. If one is to give an answer, one must first confront their past. Going Off The Beach is the account of a conscripted, "boots on the ground" soldier and his experiences in the US Army during the Vietnam War. These experiences included twelve months in Vietnam, serving in Binh Dinh Province. The book explores the contrasts between a peaceful tropical beach overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean with the monotony, drudgery and dangers of being a foot soldier in an unpopular war. It describes the endless struggle for survival while constantly dealing with the "inner conflicts" of the US Military fighting a war they were not even trying to win. And finding love in the midst of it all. "What was Vietnam like?" It's the story of what happened to 20-year-old me. It's my story of love, war, and courage. Book Review: "going off the beach" is a compelling, factual account of a conscripted Army soldier's trip through Hell and back during the Vietnam War. For anyone who wondered what serving in South Vietnam was like; this book answers that question from the perspective of an unwilling participant. It contrasts the everyday monotony and drudgery of war with its ever-present dangers. The author's descriptive and straightforward writing style holds the reader's full attention from first sentence to the final word. -- Joseph J. Bains, Bread Crust Productions, Author, Scientist, Veteran
Download or read book Eden by Design written by Greg Hise and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2000-06-07 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eden by Design is a compelling and fascinating description of a possible Los Angeles that never came to be. Greg Hise and William Deverell have resurrected the Olmsted Brothers' 1930 plan for Los Angeles County, and then, in a wonderful introduction, put the plan in context so that to read it now is to see not only what seemed dangerous and possible in 1930 but also how and why one route to the present was chosen over others. In their hands, the plan acts like a ghost of Los Angeles, reminding us about a vanished past, lost possibilities, and the secrets that our present masks."—Richard White, author of The Organic Machine "The Report is not only a vital document in the history of Los Angeles . . . but a lost classic of a neglected golden age of city planning and landscape architecture. . . . It embodies a truly regional perspective; an ecological perspective; a long-range vision; an integration of design with finance and administration; and a truly grand interpretation of public space. It deserves to be known to every serious student of the American planning tradition."—Robert Fishman, author of Bourgeois Utopias: The Rise and Fall of Suburbia "An essential document for understanding the history of the West's largest city. Los Angeles had the opportunity to become an extraordinarily beautiful environment, a Paris in the desert. The editors make clear why, sadly, it did not; but also they hold out hope that portions of this brilliant but neglected plan might still be recovered."—Donald Worster, author of Nature's Economy: A History of Ecological Ideas "A welcome addition to the literature of American urban planning history."—Roger Montgomery, Professor of Architecture Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leilani has a gift: the tears she cries all turn into pearls. Three years ago, her well-kept secret got exposed — and upon finding out, the sinister Twins who rule the island have claimed her as their bride-to-be. The Twins stole the Crown from the King of the Ocean many years ago, obtaining powers no man should possess, holding everyone prisoner and controlling dark sea creatures that haunt the streets at night. Desperate for divine intervention, Leilani throws a message in a bottle into the sea, pleading for the King of the Ocean to awaken from his slumber and save her. The next day, she finds an unconscious young man on the beach. Keanu is a mystery, quiet and seemingly cold-hearted, stormy-eyed and bearing scars, harboring deep secrets of his own. Could he be the King? Or could he at least be Leilani’s savior?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LET NOT THE WAVES OF THE SEA is Simon Stephenson's account of his journey following the loss of his brother in the Indian Ocean tsunami. If it is a story of grief, it is also a story of hope and of the unexpected places where healing can be found. Simon's journey takes him from Edinburgh in the immediate aftermath of the disaster, to Downing Street in London, to Thailand and the island where his brother died, to the scene of an ancient tsunami on the north-west coast of the United States, and to the town where he and his brother's favourite childhood film was made. Along the way there is heartbreak, dengue fever, Greek mythology, and hard physical labour in the tropical heat, but there is also memory, redemption and humour as well.
Download or read book A Girl with No Name written by Joe Lovato and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story follows a girl from kindergarten to college. Nurturing seeds planted in the early days of memory help her through the hardships to come. The human condition is universal, and how we react to the trials of life are what makes us different. Fear, pain, and love all combine to produce the person we become. Like most of us, she was plagued by the bad and blessed by the good. Her life was marked by the limits of both. Innocence is the hallmark of the young and the anchor of a life well lived. Although they are all fictional, characters tend to take on their own lives and you follow them wherever they go. Locations were fairly accurate. The dogs were real and happy to contribute. Writing mirrors the real world and melds with imagination to try to create someone with whom we can empathize. In the end, the muse had her way.
