Book Description
Teacher Emily Davis spent her summer vacation from school searching for people and places to inspire her reluctant students. She found inspiration in the culture of Native Americans which was envisioned by a Native American in Wisconsin. Thus began Emily's INDIAN SUMMER. Over the course of weeks, she had many encounters with Native Americans which finally led to a lifethreatening episode in the fictional town of Kangee, South Dakota. She was rescued by the Tribal Policeman, a Native American, who Emily realized would become much more than a friend. As INDIAN SUMMER ended, Emily was retelling her adventure to her best friend. It was obvious there was much more to Emily's story, which led to A TALE OF TWO WEDDINGS. In A TALE OF TWO WEDDINGS, Emily has to leave Kangee and her new Mr. Right, to serve as Maid of Honor for her Best Friend Rosie, a promise she is determined to keep. Both Emily and Ben are earnest about their feelings for each other and vow to keep in touch. Emily continues her journey through Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone before having more trouble that is again resolved by a Native American. The first of the two weddings takes place in Las Vegas as Rosie weds her fianc Roger. Trouble continues to follow Emily there before she gets back home. Emily faces the school year resolutely, but continues to talk with Ben over the phone and with e-mail. There are school problems as well as holiday problems before there can finally be a second wedding.

Jilted bride Monica Blair can’t believe it when she wakes up next to a blue-eyed, smooth-talking cowboy in the middle of nowhere and with a ring on her finger. It had sounded like a great plan at the time. Get married, get revenge, and get her money back. So why is she cleaning out stables and trying to keep her hands off the hot cowboy helping her?

Mergers and Acquisitions
Author: Cate Doty
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593190467
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
A compulsively readable behind-the-scenes memoir that takes readers inside the weddings section of The New York Times--the good, bad, and just plain weird--through the eyes of a young reporter just as she's falling in love herself. Growing up in the south, where tradition reigns supreme, Cate Doty thought about weddings . . . a lot. She catered for them, she attended many, she imagined her own. So, when she moved to New York City in pursuit of love--and to write for The New York Times--she finds her natural home in the wedding section, a first step to her own happily-ever-after, surely. Soon Cate is thrown into the cutthroat world of the metropolitan society pages, experiencing the lengths couples go to have their announcements accepted and the lengths the writers go in fact-checking their stories; the surprising, status-signaling details that matter most to brides and grooms; and the politics of the paper at a time of vast cultural and industry changes. Reporting weekly on couples whose relationships seem enviable--or eye-roll worthy--and dealing with WASPy grandparents and last-minute snafus, Cate is surrounded by love, or what we're told to believe is love. But when she starts to take the leap herself, she begins to ask her own questions about what it means to truly commit... Warm, witty, and keenly observed, Mergers and Acquisitions is an enthralling dive into one of society's most esteemed institutions, its creators and subjects, and a young woman's coming-of-age.
