Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I absolutely loved this book. I never wanted this journey to end!" says Morgan Matson, New York Times bestselling author of The Unexpected Everything, of this fun and irresistible contemporary YA about high school romance & mischief on the high seas. With her trusty baton and six insanely organized clipboards, drum major Liza Sanders is about to take Destiny by storm—the boat, that is. When Liza discovered that her beloved band was losing funding, she found Destiny, a luxury cruise ship complete with pools, midnight chocolate buffets, and a $25,000 spring break talent show prize. Liza can’t imagine senior year without the band, and nothing will distract her from achieving victory. She’s therefore not interested when her old camp crush, Lenny, shows up on board, looking shockingly hipster-hot. And she’s especially not interested in Russ, the probably-as-dumb-as-he-is-cute prankster jock whose ex, Demi, happens be Liza’s ex–best friend and leader of the Athenas, a show choir that’s the band’s greatest competition. But it’s not going to be smooth sailing. After the Destiny breaks down, all of Liza’s best-laid plans start to go awry. Liza likes to think of herself as an expert at almost everything, but when it comes to love, she’s about to find herself lost at sea. *** “All aboard for hijinks, crushes, and a sweet story of banding together.” —Emery Lord, author of Open Road Summer "I adored this fun and heartfelt book. It's a pleasure cruise from start to finish, with plenty of waves along the way!" --Leila Howland, author of Nantucket Blue

He's suffered from one of his too often perils with bullets and went to a nearby hospital and that's where he met her. He's instantly fallen head over heels for her. He started faking injuries to see her. There was only one problem. He was shy with women. True, he was almost seven feet tall and wasn't afraid to take on an insurgent with his bare hands. But being around Destiny he was tongue-tied and always felt out of sorts. There's also the deflating knowledge that Destiny only sees him as a friend and nothing more. He couldn't ask his friends for advice. They would only tease him. So he selfishly keeps quiet about her and buries his love for her deep inside. Destiny had been drawn to Mike since the moment he walked into her grandma's hospital room. He became an anchor for her and a best friend. He reminds her of a gentle giant and treats her like the finest china. The more time she spends with him she realizes her feelings are much deeper than friendship, but Mike doesn't see her that way. She's just the woman he always hangs out with out of pity because of her sick grandma. When Destiny's mom and her lastest beau breeze into town their relationship will be put to the test and a growing danger to her grandma. Will they finally be able to tell each other how they really feel about each other or will a dangerous foe intervene before they can explore their true feelings.

Download or read book A Destiny of Choice written by David Blanke and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twentieth century, Americans thought of the United States as a land of opportunity and equality. To what extent and for whom this was true was, of course, a matter of debate, however especially during the Cold War, many Americans clung to the patriotic conviction that America was the land of the free. At the same time, another national ideal emerged that was far less contentious, that arguably came to subsume the ideals of freedom, opportunity, and equality, and that eventually embodied an unspoken consensus about what constitutes the good society in a postmodern setting. This was the ideal of choice, broadly understood as the proposition that the good society provides individuals with the power to shape the contours of their lives in ways that suit their personal interests, idiosyncrasies, and tastes. By the closing decades of the century, Americans were widely agreed that theirs was--or at least should be--the land of choice. In A Destiny of Choice?, David Blanke and David Steigerwald bring together important scholarship on the tension between two leading interpretations of modern American consumer culture. That modern consumerism reflects the social, cultural, economic, and political changes that accompanied the country's transition from a local, producer economy dominated by limited choices and restricted credit to a national consumer marketplace based on the individual selection of mass-produced, mass-advertised, and mass-distributed goods. This debate is central to the economic difficulties seen in the United States today.
