Book excerpt: Valle Girl tells the story of Alice Kail, a young bookstore owner who lives in a boring Southern mountain town called Valle Crucis. Her entire life she has been trapped, conned by her Grandmother Hester's pleas, in this "one horse town" with every intention of escaping. After Hester's tragic death, Alice discovers a secret well kept - that she has a unique DNA that must never be spilled. Now, aside from her day job, she feels obligated to inherit the responsibility of carrying out tasks for The Greater Good and along the way finds out why the Valle is truly sacred and how she must make the ultimate sacrifice of staying put in order to protect it. So much for ignorance is bliss!Nowadays, Alice is being hunted by all things evil (particularly one ticked off vampire) in search of the divine bloodline, a band of Safekeepers (the guards of the Valle) keep track of her every move, a dangerously attractive demon spy works her nerves (and her heart), her first crush sort-of crushes her back, her BFF's Jack and Ginger become her sidekicks, and she must unwillingly put up with a smart-alecky, sardonic feline who turns out to be more than meets the eye, all while pretending to be normal - something she so desperately wanted not to be. www.vallegirlseries.webs.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In luminous prose that effortlessly portrays the intimate and familiar pangs of growing up, Funk captivates from the get-go, and the ’80s nostalgia will hit the spot for those who came of age amid skyscraper bangs, acid-washed jeans, and the ubiquity of teen heartthrob Kirk Cameron. These small-town stories are big on charm.” —Publishers Weekly A funny and whip-smart memoir about a feisty young woman’s quest for independence in an isolated Mennonite community. Carla Funk is a teenager with her hands on the church piano keys and her feet edging ever closer to the flames. Coming of age in a remote and forested valley—a place rich in Mennonites, loggers, and dutiful wives who submit to their husbands—she knows her destiny is to marry, have babies, and join the church ladies’ sewing circle. But she feels an increasing urge to push the limits of her religion and the small town that cannot contain her desires for much longer. Teenage (Mennonite) angst at its finest: Carla questions the patriarchal norms of Mennonite society and yearns to break free. She’ll start by lighting her driveway on fire …. A family story: the perfect gift for mothers, daughters, sisters, and fathers and sons. Pitch-perfect 1980s nostalgia: remember Jordache jeans? For readers of Miriam Toews: heart wrenching and humorous descriptions of Mennonite life. At once a coming-of-age story, a contemplation on meaning, morality, and destiny, and a hilarious time capsule of 1980s adolescence, Mennonite Valley Girl offers the best kind of escapist reading for anyone who loves small towns, or who was lucky enough to grow up in one.

Download or read book Silicon Valley Girl Paperback written by Maya Morrow and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicon Valley Girl (Paperback) by Maya Morrow Inspired by the life and works of poet Sylvia Plath, including Plath’s published journals, Maya Morrow presents her own coming-of-age journey in this collection of raw and uncensored diaries spanning a decade and a half. The story begins Christmas 1984 and ends in 1999, when the author, twenty-six, rediscovers the handwritten diaries for the first time. “These diaries are compelling enough on their own,” Morrow writes. “However, what makes this coming-of-age story different from many others is that it gives the reader a glimpse of not just an average, American middle class girl’s life – it highlights the fact that my life was that, and I’m Afro American. When The Cosby Show came on, I saw my family on television, and didn’t understand why the media said the show was an unrealistic depiction of African American life. It was realistic; it was my life!” Set against a backdrop of cultural touchstones any Gen-Xer would recognize, Silicon Valley Girl: My Adolescent Life and Times, and an Ode to Generation X offers a deeply personal look at the emotional life of a teenager of color trying to make sense of race, class, and sexuality at the dawn of Post-Cold War America.
