Download or read book I Love You Truly written by Max Morath and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her 1927 autobiography Carrie Jacobs-Bond wrote: "The only thing that seems to me at all remarkable about my life is that I was nearly thirty-two years old before I even thought of having a career." After years of research I have concluded, on the contrary, that everything about her life was remarkable. A divorcee, then a widow, she was nearly forty years old before her music lifted her out of poverty. She went on to make a fortune as her own publisher, becoming an international celebrity, world traveler, friend of the rich and famous, sometime vaudeville star, and a charitable woman who gave away most of her money before she died. The woman's life needs to be revisited. Her own book was long on anecdotes and platitudes but short on times and places, and on the secrets of her heart. I have filled in some of the blank pages in her life's story by creating this new autobiography. Names and places and dates within reach of my research are faithfully employed. The rest is an affectionate and studied re-telling of her life, knit together by a man who never met Carrie Jacobs-Bond but has been under her spell ever since he sang "I Love You Truly" in 7th grade Boys' Glee Club. MAX MORATH EDITOR: USE THIS QUOTE BOTTOM BACK PAGE: Morath brings to everything he touches a keen intelligence and encyclopedic knowledge of every aspect, musical and otherwise, of late 19th and early 20th century Americana.

Download or read book We Love You Charlie Freeman written by Kaitlyn Greenidge and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A FINALIST FOR THE 2016 CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE AND THE 2017 YOUNG LIONS AWARD “A terrifically auspicious debut.” —Janet Maslin, The New York Times “Smart, timely and powerful . . . A rich examination of America’s treatment of race, and the ways we attempt to discuss and confront it today.” —The Huffington Post The Freeman family--Charles, Laurel, and their daughters, teenage Charlotte and nine-year-old Callie--have been invited to the Toneybee Institute to participate in a research experiment. They will live in an apartment on campus with Charlie, a young chimp abandoned by his mother. The Freemans were selected because they know sign language; they are supposed to teach it to Charlie and welcome him as a member of their family. But when Charlotte discovers the truth about the institute’s history of questionable studies, the secrets of the past invade the present in devious ways. The power of this shattering novel resides in Greenidge’s undeniable storytelling talents. What appears to be a story of mothers and daughters, of sisterhood put to the test, of adolescent love and grown-up misconduct, and of history’s long reach, becomes a provocative and compelling exploration of America’s failure to find a language to talk about race. “A magnificently textured, vital, visceral feat of storytelling . . . [by] a sharp, poignant, extraordinary new voice of American literature.” —Téa Obreht, author of The Tiger’s Wife

Book excerpt: Submissive Naomi Jackson and her dominant husband, Tyler, lived a fairytale life, until Tyler's car accident left him physically handicapped and emotionally scarred. As Tyler struggles to find his way back to his wife, Naomi fights demons of her own, and both of them learn that true love conquers all. Excerpt: Chapter One "Don't look at me that way!" Tyler Jackson snarled and pulled the large cushion from the edge of the bed. Long strands of dark hair half-covered his eyes, his full lips turned upwards into a sneer, his knuckles white from his grip on the edge of the cushion. "You never listen to me!" Before Naomi had the chance to stop him, he flung the pillow across the room with more force than she had thought he could muster. He missed her, but the dark blue cushion hit the end table and knocked her new coffee cup onto the floor. Her hands tightened, and she clenched her jaw as she saw the cup shatter. It wasn't often she treated herself to something new and now-now he'd broken it in a fit of anger. "I can't stand that damn pitying look in your eyes. You don't think that I can see how you look at me now? Why else would you be curled up with that blasted thing?" Tyler nodded toward the cushion she cuddled most nights. "I know what's going. I know how you feel toward me now. You pity me! I disgust you now. I'm not the man you married and you can't stand that." Her husband rolled forward in the wheelchair only to curse as it caught on the edge of a loose rug. "Look at me. I can't even move across this bloody room without help! I'm a waste of time and space." Coffee seeped out across the carpet, adding to the stains she had tried hard to clean up over the last few months of explosive tempers. His moods switched from one extreme to the next, often with little or no warning, something that she had struggled to come to accept without lashing out with her own anger or self pity. His behavior was a part of what he'd been through, the shock of it all, she knew that, understood that. But understanding just didn't make things any easier for them to deal with. Not when it meant she didn't want to come home most nights. When she cried herself to sleep nine times out of ten. This wasn't the life she had planned for, hoped for with him. Neither of them had planned for this one. Naomi took a deep breath and tried to keep calm as she spoke. "It's not you I pity, love. It's me. I know that's selfish of me. I just wanted to remember for a short while what it was like before . . . ." "Before I screwed up, you mean! Before I turned our world upside down?" Tyler snapped, his knuckles white as he gripped the arms of the chair. "Go on, say it. I know you're thinking it. I say it to myself often enough. I know just how big a screw up I am." The growl made her back up quickly and the fury within his eyes was almost too much to stand. She could see it lash across his face, the way his lips narrowed, the tightening of a dozen lines around his eyes, the furrowing of his brow. Even if she hadn't heard the fury in his voice she would have known how he felt just by looking at him. How much longer would it be before he learned to control the temper? No, not learn. Relearn. He had once been so patient. All those hours he'd spent teaching her, showing her the way through the confusion of her own thoughts and desires. Now-now she barely recognized him. She barely recognized herself anymore.
