Book excerpt: His son was his life…until he met his new "wife" From the moment he first saw his son, ranchman Dylan Greer knew the baby he'd adopted was his in every way that mattered. And no one—not even the beautiful, strong-willed cop who claimed she was the child's mother—was going to change that. Collena Drake swore a criminal ring had stolen her baby and that someone was crossing every line to keep the illegal adoption secret. Now, in order to protect one innocent child, Collena makes Dylan a tempting offer: get married and share custody. As a businessman, he thinks the plan brilliant. But as a man…resisting his "bride," especially as the danger mounts, will be almost impossible.
Download or read book Loyal Sons written by Jim Lefebvre and published by . This book was released on 2024-10-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death. These are only aliases. Their real names are Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. When sports writing legend Grantland Rice penned those words to describe Notre Dame's victory over Army on October 18, 1924, he helped set into motion a wave that - coupled with the subsequent photograph of Don Miller, Elmer Layden, Jim Crowley and Harry Stuhldreher - created one of the most recognizable images in American sports history. LOYAL SONS provides snapshots of American life in the 1920s and chronicles the grand dreams, hard work, serendipitous timing, motivation and spirit that resulted in an undefeated season and Notre Dame's first consensus national championship. Ride along as Coach Knute Rockne's team dazzles opponents and draws record crowds from New York to Chicago and finally at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The Four Horsemen, the Seven Mules, and the Shock Troops lead a team bound by perseverance, camaraderie and loyalty. They fueled the rapid rise of Notre Dame as the Fighting Irish became a source of intense pride for immigrants, Catholics and those new to the game of football across the United States.

Book excerpt: In this atmospheric, terrifying novel that draws strongly from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," the author of Alice and The Girl in Red works her trademark magic, spinning an engaging and frightening new story from a classic tale. Everyone in Sleepy Hollow knows about the Horseman, but no one really believes in him. Not even Ben Van Brunt's grandfather, Brom Bones, who was there when it was said the Horseman chased the upstart Crane out of town. Brom says that's just legend, the village gossips talking. More than thirty years after those storied events, the village is a quiet place. Fourteen-year-old Ben loves to play "Sleepy Hollow boys," reenacting the events Brom once lived through. But then Ben and a friend stumble across the headless body of a child in the woods near the village, and the discovery makes Ben question everything the adults in Sleepy Hollow have ever said. Could the Horseman be real after all? Or does something even more sinister stalk the woods?

Book excerpt: When I was sixteen, I held my dad's hands while on my knees pleading to God for him not to die. "Dad, dad, dad," I cried out, as he lay there on his back with his hands and fingers in a firm position grasping the reins of a five gait mare. He was in a place of contentment as he spoke, "Whoa mare, that's a girl!" and made those familiar clicking sounds that I often heard when I was a little boy watching him ride the horses everyday in the summer. Then in a calm moment, with his hands gently relaxed in mine, his face revealed a soft smile and he took his last breath and his last ride. My father, Thomas Downing was a horse trainer, one of the forgotten horsemen who was born and raised in the Saddlebred kingdom of North Middletown, Kentucky. He had a natural, uncanny and remarkable gift of relating to horses, proven by the trust and confidence exhibited by the horses toward him. Although my dad was a man of few words, his true voice, a voice that spoke volumes, was spoken within his work and accomplishments with the horses he trained. He often preferred to spend time with the horses over most people and it was that bond which enabled him to train the horses so effectively. This book is about a summer weekend I spent as a ten year old boy, helping my father at a horse show and the invaluable lessons of life I learned from my dad and his fellow forgotten horsemen, who a contemporary of theirs called them, "Great Men with Great Horses." It was over this weekend that I would learn more about my father, horses and life than I ever thought imaginable.

Book excerpt: From the author of The Whisper of the River and Epiphany. In this coming-of-age story, Porter Osbourne Jr. is a precocious, sensitive, and rambunctious boy trying to make it through adolescence during the Depression. On a red-clay farm in Georgia, he learns all there is to know about cotton-chopping, hog-killing, watermelon-thumping, and mule-handling. School provides a quick course in practical joking, schoolboy crushes, athletic glory, and clandestine sex. But it is Porter’s family-- his genteel, patient mother, his swarm of cousins, his snuff-dipping grandmother, and, most of all, his beloved though flawed father--who teaches Porter the painful truths about growing up strong enough to run with the horsemen. "The writing is elegant, reflective, and amused. Mr. Sams is a storyteller sure of his audience . . . gifted with perfect timing."--The New York Times Book Review "Remarkable both for its humor and its sustained and detailed picture of a mischievous Southern farmboy’s life during the Great Depression."--The Washington Post

Book excerpt: "A wonderful novel. . . Tim Pears combines a down-to-earth rendering of the realities of rural life with a magical sense of another world beyond our everyday experience."--Wall Street Journal From acclaimed author Tim Pears, the first novel in a sweeping historical trilogy, beginning in rural, pre-WWI England. Somerset, 1911. The forces of war are building across Europe, but this pocket of England, where the rhythms of lives are dictated by the seasons and the land, remains untouched. Albert Sercombe is a farmer on Lord Prideaux's estate and his eldest son, Sid, is underkeeper to the head gamekeeper. His son, Leo, a talented rider, grows up alongside the master's spirited daughter, Charlotte--a girl who shoots and rides, much to the surprise of the locals. In beautiful, pastoral writing, The Horseman tells the story of a family, a community, and the landscape they come from. The Horseman is a return to the world invoked in Pears' first award-winning, extravagantly praised novel, In the Place of Fallen Leaves. It is the first book of a trilogy that will follow Leo away from the estate and into the First World War and beyond. Exquisitely, tenderly written, this is immersive, transporting historical fiction at its finest.
