Download or read book The Book of Two Ways written by Jodi Picoult and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Small Great Things and A Spark of Light comes a “powerful” (The Washington Post) novel about the choices that alter the course of our lives. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY MARIE CLAIRE Everything changes in a single moment for Dawn Edelstein. She’s on a plane when the flight attendant makes an announcement: Prepare for a crash landing. She braces herself as thoughts flash through her mind. The shocking thing is, the thoughts are not of her husband but of a man she last saw fifteen years ago: Wyatt Armstrong. Dawn, miraculously, survives the crash, but so do all the doubts that have suddenly been raised. She has led a good life. Back in Boston, there is her husband, Brian, their beloved daughter, and her work as a death doula, in which she helps ease the transition between life and death for her clients. But somewhere in Egypt is Wyatt Armstrong, who works as an archaeologist unearthing ancient burial sites, a career Dawn once studied for but was forced to abandon when life suddenly intervened. And now, when it seems that fate is offering her second chances, she is not as sure of the choice she once made. After the crash landing, the airline ensures that the survivors are seen by a doctor, then offers transportation to wherever they want to go. The obvious destination is to fly home, but she could take another path: return to the archaeological site she left years before, reconnect with Wyatt and their unresolved history, and maybe even complete her research on The Book of Two Ways—the first known map of the afterlife. As the story unfolds, Dawn’s two possible futures unspool side by side, as do the secrets and doubts long buried with them. Dawn must confront the questions she’s never truly asked: What does a life well lived look like? When we leave this earth, what do we leave behind? Do we make choices . . . or do our choices make us? And who would you be if you hadn’t turned out to be the person you are right now?
Download or read book The Radiant Dawn written by J. Eifie Nichols and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. At the call of demon worshipers Aaron and Stacie Murphy, the dead have risen from the cemeteries across the world. In one short year, they have overtaken most of the world, and only a couple bastions of human power remain. Most of the world is a wasteland of undead. When the last humans die, the worshipers will be able to summon their lord to Earth. Behind the walls of her father's great fortress, heiress Dawn Cahill is prepared for war. Surviving humans have gathered at Light's Bulwark, and man the guns against the undead menace. Dawn believes her fortress can hold the dead back, but has no ambitions of stepping out from within her walls to challenge the royals in combat. They wield powerful magic and feel no pain, and Dawn's brigade faces unfathomable odds, flying stone constructs, and monstrous flesh golems that can shatter rock and steel like glass. But there is a power sleeping within her fortress, in a statue in her courtyard. The statue holds the power of the Solari, an ancient Greek warrior class who called upon Apollo's power to fight. By awakening this power, Dawn has magic of her own to fight the undead. The magic granted her the power to soar through the air, strike with tremendous power, and heal the wounds of her allies at a touch. Is it enough? Can humanity survive the greatest threat to its existence? Or will the dead and their demonic overlords claim this world as their own?

Download or read book A Fortunate Life written by Paddy Ashdown and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2010-09-25 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paddy Ashdown’s autobiography was hailed as one of the most readable and exciting political life stories ever written of all – precisely because it was so very much more. This is the autobiography of an old-fashioned Man of Action, an adventurer, to be compared more readily to Fitzroy Maclean than David Steel. Ashdown’s years as MP for Yeovil and leader of the Liberal Democrats pale alongside his time as a Royal Marine Commando, in the Special Boat squadron, as a spy, on military service in Northern Ireland and Indonesia, and then subsequently – perhaps his finest and most heroic role, as the UN’s High representative in war-torn Bosnia. As one reviewer remarked: “This must be the first political memoir to offer advice on the best way to execute a jungle ambush and on how to treat an open wound using red ants.” Ashdown’s appeal – which explains this books’s hardback bestseller status – is that he transcends party political allegiances, and is seen as a genuinely honest and decent man unafraid to take on the hardest challenges.
