After almost being expelled from a prestigious Chicago music conservatory for a prank gone wrong, twenty-two-year-old pianist Crawford Paul returns home to Northern California for what he predicts will be another boring summer. Concerned his scholarship is now at risk, Crawford accepts the only job he can find: accompanying a glamorous seven-year-old named Isabella to a community swimming pool for lessons. There, Crawford is befriended by a nanny named Nina, an aspiring fashion designer who finds it difficult to hide her disdain for children. When Crawford meets Armando Leon, a lifeguard and Isabella's swimming instructor, he accepts Armando's offer to help him overcome his fear of water by way of private swimming lessons. As friendship turns into a summer affair, their lust for one another turns to love. When Crawford receives a chance of a lifetime audition, he is torn between returning to Chicago or staying in California to start a new life with Armando. As the end of the summer inches closer, Crawford and Armando fear they will be separated forever.

Three Strokes Back
Author: Harry C. Gilbert
Publisher: Alive Books
ISBN: 9781631320231
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
A lawyer's mind and a news reporter's way with words-none of it stopped Harry Gilbert's brain from having a stroke. Actually, he had three of them. This story chronicles his strokes, recovery, and (mostly) positive attitude. A stroke can happen to anyone, anytime, including to people in the prime of their lives. This revealing memoir tells the story of post-stroke: of the frustration of being unable to say the words you are thinking, or to complete mundane tasks that were previously effortless, like adding simple numbers, writing, telling time or driving a car-but also of hope and persistence. With gentle humor, author Harry Gilbert helps us understand the path of recovery and provides encouragement that post-stroke life can return to normal-even if it is a new normal.
