Download or read book Truck A Love Story written by Michael Perry and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2006-10-17 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Population: 485 returns, delivering a truckload of humor, heart, and . . . gardening tips? Think Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, complete with stock cars, sexy vegetables, and a laugh track. "All I wanted to do was fix my old pickup truck," says Michael Perry. "That, and plant my garden. Then I met this woman. . . ." Truck: A Love Story recounts a year in which Perry struggles to grow his own food ("Seed catalogs are responsible for more unfulfilled fantasies than Enron and Penthouse combined"), live peaceably with his neighbors (one test-fires his black powder rifle in the alley; another's best Sunday shirt reads 100 PERCENT WHUP-ASS), and sort out his love life. But along the way, he sets his hair on fire, is attacked by wild turkeys, takes a date to the fire department chicken dinner, and proposes marriage to a woman in New Orleans. As with Population: 485, much of the spirit of Truck: A Love Story may be found in the characters Perry meets: a one-eyed land surveyor, a paraplegic biker who rigs a sidecar so that his quadriplegic pal can ride along, a bartender who refuses to sell light beer, an enchanting woman who never existed, and half the staff of National Public Radio. By turns hilarious and heartfelt, a tale that begins on a pile of sheep manure, detours to the Whitney Museum of American Art, and returns to the deer-hunting swamps of northern Wisconsin, Truck: A Love Story becomes a testament to the surprising and unintended consequences of love. 1006

Download or read book House of Yes written by Susan Fullerton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "After long talks and years to ponder, my siblings and I wouldn't change how we grew up. Not even if a time machine were invented and we could all go back to that fateful day we sat around the table and our folks asked us one by one if Dad could quit his job and work on Truck of Love full-time. Well, perhaps knowing the full extent of sacrifice we were agreeing to would have made us pause. Maybe we'd opt for a simpler, normal life: video games, soccer leagues, and the occasional European vacation." - Andy Fullerton. Saying yes to that nagging voice that would not relent has led us into a life we never imagined. The story of Truck of Love involves hundreds of people. What started as a truck load of food and clothing delivered to the poor has morphed into a lifestyle that has enriched us in ways we never imagined. We have found friendship in the Tijuana garbage dump, on the streets of San Jose, California, and on the Tohono O'odham Reservation in Arizona. We have discovered people in each place whose only desire is to provide a good life for their families.

The prince in this story wants to marry a real mountain princess, so he searches all the mountain ranges in the world? looking in the Sierras for women in tiaras, and at Glass Mountain for ladies wearing just one shoe. He ends up going home alone, only to be found by a princess who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to set out into the world on her own to find it. The Princess and the Pick-up Truck is a modern retelling of The Princess and the Pea, but with an Appalachian, or at least rural, slant.Bil's inspiration:We all know what happens when a princess kisses a frog, but what happens when a prince kisses a fraud?I was driving a winding West Virginia road with my teenage daughter, and in front of us was a pickup truck with several mattresses heaped haphazardly in the bed. I said to my daughter, "Do you think you could sleep on that? "My daughter has mastered teen sarcasm, but she's not nasty about it. She is one of the absolute funniest people I know. She twisted her bangs in her fingers, smacked her imaginary gum, and said saccharinely, "Of course I could, Daddy. I'm a princess!" And this story was born."The Princess and the Pickup Truck...is perfect for princesses who prefer hiking boots." -LA Parenting Magazine

Download or read book A True Love Story written by Farad Khan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-09-23 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story, A True Love Story, was first published in a local magazine in Afghanistan in ten parts during ten weeks time, and more than 1.4 million readers graded it 9 out of 10 stars. Voice of Women Organization (VWO) in Afghanistan has appreciated my story. And it has been a very popular story in Afghanistan, and I won four different awards from different human rights and womens organizations for this book. This book is based on a true story, and it is about an Afghani boy and a Pakistani girl who fell in love, and how their love later became a curse for them. In this book I wanted to put some light on the life of people who live in Asian and third world countries where people, especially women, have no rights at all and everything is decided by their male family members. This is a very gripping, catching, and moving story based on facts, and I am sure once you start reading, you cannot stop until you finish the book.
