Book Description
Don’t miss the chance to read the novels that launched New York Times bestselling author Sharon Sala’s career. WHOSE SIDE WAS SHE REALLY RUNNING TO? Debbie Randall told herself her trip from California to Oklahoma was an errand of mercy. Her best friend’s father had broken his leg in a car crash, and she had offered to help him out while he recovered. But, deep down inside, she knew that something else—or, rather, someone else—was behind her offer. While she was helping Morgan Brownfield recuperate, she would have a chance to spend time with his son, Cole. Since the day she’d met him last summer, she hadn’t been able to forget the tall, quiet cop with the solemn eyes. She’d fallen for him, and she wasn’t about to let love slip through her fingers just because he lived halfway across the country. Cole was wary from the minute Debbie arrived. He’d faced stakeouts and drug busts without fear, but this woman had single-handedly sent him running for cover. He’d chosen to lead a solitary life for a reason, and there was no way on earth he was going to let her weaken his resolve. The problem was, his heart had other ideas.

Pages : 258
Book Description
The "Smiling Funnel Web" teaches you how to argue effectively! Much of life is spent in arguing, and most arguments are futile wastes of time. Neither the participants nor the audience learn anything. Between men in crowded bars arguments can even lead to physical fights, usually for no purpose. Yet intelligent argument is often the only sensible way to advance our many causes, to spread knowledge, and to achieve progress. It is one thing to sound impressive, to devastate the opposition, and to make a great impression. It is by no means the same thing to change people's minds, to convince them by your arguments. Persuasion is achieved more often than not by quiet, rather than devastating argument.

A San Francisco Chronicle Western 100. Best Book of the Twentieth Century. The Birdwells are a pacifist Quaker family in southern Indiana during the Civil War.

With their children, they must negotiate their way through a world that constantly confronts them - sometimes with candor, sometimes with violence - and tests the strength of their beliefs.

The Female Persuasion
Author: Meg Wolitzer
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525533222
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
A New York Times Bestseller “A powerful coming-of-age story that looks at ambition, friendship, identity, desire, and power from the much-needed female lens." —Bustle “Ultra-readable.” —Vogue From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Interestings, comes an electric novel not just about who we want to be with, but who we want to be. To be admired by someone we admire—we all yearn for this: the private, electrifying pleasure of being singled out by someone of esteem. But sometimes it can also mean entry to a new kind of life, a bigger world. Greer Kadetsky is a shy college freshman when she meets the woman she hopes will change her life. Faith Frank, dazzlingly persuasive and elegant at sixty-three, has been a central pillar of the women’s movement for decades, a figure who inspires others to influence the world. Upon hearing Faith speak for the first time, Greer—madly in love with her boyfriend, Cory, but still full of longing for an ambition that she can’t quite place—feels her inner world light up. And then, astonishingly, Faith invites Greer to make something out of that sense of purpose, leading Greer down the most exciting path of her life as it winds toward and away from her meant-to-be love story with Cory and the future she’d always imagined. Charming and wise, knowing and witty, Meg Wolitzer delivers a novel about power and influence, ego and loyalty, womanhood and ambition. At its heart, The Female Persuasion is about the flame we all believe is flickering inside of us, waiting to be seen and fanned by the right person at the right time. It’s a story about the people who guide and the people who follow (and how those roles evolve over time), and the desire within all of us to be pulled into the light.
