Thoughtful and funny, this memoir follows Susan's life through the many ups and downs on her way to finding unconditional love.

Fortunately, her angelic bookie is happy to let her pay off her debts by doing what she does best: All Gadriel has to do is tempt miserably sinless mortal Holly Harker to do a few nice things for herself. What should be a cakewalk of a job soon runs into several roadblocks, however, as Miss Harker politely refuses every attempt at temptation from Gadriel the woman, Gadriel the man, and Gadriel the adorable fluffy kitten. When even chocolate fails to move Gadriel’s target, the ex-guardian angel begins to suspect she’s been conned. But Gadriel still remembers her previous job… and where petty temptations fail, small miracles might yet prevail.

Download or read book George Washington written by David O. Stewart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating and illuminating account of how George Washington became the dominant force in the creation of the United States of America, from award-winning author David O. Stewart “An outstanding biography . . . [George Washington] has a narrative drive such a life deserves.”—The Wall Street Journal Washington's rise constitutes one of the greatest self-reinventions in history. In his mid-twenties, this third son of a modest Virginia planter had ruined his own military career thanks to an outrageous ego. But by his mid-forties, that headstrong, unwise young man had evolved into an unassailable leader chosen as the commander in chief of the fledgling Continental Army. By his mid-fifties, he was unanimously elected the nation's first president. How did Washington emerge from the wilderness to become the central founder of the United States of America? In this remarkable new portrait, award-winning historian David O. Stewart unveils the political education that made Washington a master politician—and America's most essential leader. From Virginia's House of Burgesses, where Washington mastered the craft and timing of a practicing politician, to his management of local government as a justice of the Fairfax County Court to his eventual role in the Second Continental Congress and his grueling generalship in the American Revolution, Washington perfected the art of governing and service, earned trust, and built bridges. The lessons in leadership he absorbed along the way would be invaluable during the early years of the republic as he fought to unify the new nation.

Download or read book Summary of Joal Derse Dauer Elizabeth Ridley s Saving Sadie written by Everest Media, and published by Everest Media LLC. This book was released on 2022-07-30T23:00:00Z with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had never taken in a dog before, but I was drawn to Sadie, and when I saw her at the shelter, I knew I had to take her to the vet. I didn’t want to adopt her, but I wanted to help her walk again. #2 I was on a two-lane country highway as I drove past the fallow corn and cabbage fields, past the rough, weather-beaten barns and spiraling silos. I watched Sadie in my rearview mirror as she couldn’t stand, but after a brief struggle she was able to sit up and press her black nose against the window. #3 I was driving into Illinois to bring home a dog that had been in a shelter. I was met with two things when I opened the back hatch of my SUV: a very guilty-looking dog and the overwhelming odor of dog mess. I knew that Sadie had been through a lot, but she still let me touch her. #4 The vet said Sadie would never walk again, and that the bullet and shrapnel in her back were too embedded to be removed. He suggested I get her a cart so she could be pulled around.
