Pages : 224
Book Description
Cameron Ross lives a double life. Most people recognize him as the world's hottest leading man--the new Cary Grant. Those people would never recognize him as the man who wakes at the Flying V Ranch in Montana the morning after an epic drunk. That man is a scruffy horseman who seems to fit seamlessly in the mountain valley his ranch inhabits. That man’s name is Noah Campbell. Cameron is a myth. Noah is the real man who bought a ranch in order to remind himself of that fact. What's also real is his ranch manager, Dulcy McCann, who has risked everything to protect her position and her precocious sprite of a daughter, Hannah. Noah knows he should not develop an attachment to either of them. Dulcy thinks he's Noah, a businessman. Her world is Montana, not the fishbowl of notoriety he inhabits. As for Dulcy, she has enough on her hands balancing the rigors of the ranch and the much tougher job of raising her daughter. The last thing she needs in her life is a new boss so compelling he's interfering with both. Especially when they're threatened by secrets Dulcy can't share.

When the Emperor Was Divine
Author: Julie Otsuka
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307430219
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
From the bestselling, award-winning author of The Buddha in the Attic and The Swimmers, this commanding debut novel paints a portrait of the Japanese American incarceration camps that is both a haunting evocation of a family in wartime and a resonant lesson for our times. On a sunny day in Berkeley, California, in 1942, a woman sees a sign in a post office window, returns to her home, and matter-of-factly begins to pack her family's possessions. Like thousands of other Japanese Americans they have been reclassified, virtually overnight, as enemy aliens and are about to be uprooted from their home and sent to a dusty incarceration camp in the Utah desert. In this lean and devastatingly evocative first novel, Julie Otsuka tells their story from five flawlessly realized points of view and conveys the exact emotional texture of their experience: the thin-walled barracks and barbed-wire fences, the omnipresent fear and loneliness, the unheralded feats of heroism. When the Emperor Was Divine is a work of enormous power that makes a shameful episode of our history as immediate as today's headlines.
