Wander to "where the song of the ocean / Meets the salty piece of land" with Tully Mars, washed up from Margaritaville and in the mood for monkeyshines, in a shimmering Caribbean epic by the late king of tropical rock, Jimmy Buffett. It's not on any chart, but the tropical island of Cayo Loco is the perfect place to run away from all your problems. Waking from a ganja buzz on the beach in Tulum, Tully can't believe his eyes when a 142-foot schooner emerges out of the ocean mist. At its helm is Cleopatra Highbourne, the eccentric 101-year-old sea captain who will take him to a lighthouse on a salty piece of land that will change his life forever. From a lovely sunset sail in Punta Margarita to a wild spring-break foam party in San Pedro, Tully encounters an assortment of treasure hunters, rock stars, sailors, seaplane pilots, pirates, and even a ghost or two.

The extraordinary debut short story collection from the award-winning author of Family and Life is Short But Wide. "In its strong folk flavor, Cooper's work reminds us of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston ... It is a delight to read." —Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author "The label 'short' story is a woefully inadequate description of these intensely, explicitly moral tales. 'Parable' is more appropriate. Cooper's stories are rich in wisdom and insight." —Belles Lettres

Every Little Piece of Me

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
From the bestselling author of We're All in This Together comes a novel about family, friendship, fame, and the cost of living in the public eye— because when everyone suddenly knows your name, it's easy to forget who you really are. "The first time they met, Mags saved Ava's life. The second time they met, Ava saved Mags's." Ava Hart is the most reluctant cast member of a reality TV show based on her big city family's (mostly staged) efforts to run a B&B in small-town Nova Scotia. Every family has its problems, but Ava has grown up seeing her family's every up and down broadcast on national television, after the show becomes an unexpected success for reasons that will take a heavy toll on the Harts. Mags Kovach is the charismatic lead singer of a struggling Halifax rock band hoping to be the Next Big Thing. For years she's managed to contain her demons and navigate the uglier aspects of being a woman in the music world, but after a devastating loss, she turns her anger on the only person she can: herself. As their private tragedies continue to set social media and tabloid headlines on fire, their every move subjected to an endless stream of public commentary, it will be their unexpected friendship that will save them. They will push back against the roles they've been forced to play, and take back control of something they thought they'd lost forever—the right to their own stories.

This book, A Piece of Me, is just that, a piece of me. Growing up in two different households, trying to live what I learned from both, and not understanding the realities of this thing called LIFE. Some lessons were hard and some were easy, but, there was always a lesson. In retrospect, I can now look on pieces of my life in humor, or appreciation of the moment, and continually see how God moves. This may sound like a cliche but "Our God IS an AWESOME God."

Book Description
Marcia Kleinman has a difficult husband, a difficult mother and a little boy, Max, who has a rare chronic liver disease that will eventually require a liver transplantation. A talented pianist, Marcia resisted strong urgings from her teachers and, especially, from her mother to develop a concert career and, instead, has been content to teach music at the college level. Marcia's mother was a well known concert pianist. Marcia's husband, Michael, is a young, aggressive attorney at a major, multicity firm who was transferred to the Los Angeles office from New York. When Max, their son, becomes ill they are presented with difficult choices that include allowing Marcia to donate a portion of her own liver. Michael is initially opposed to this choice and would prefer to wait until an appropriate liver becomes available from another child of Max's approximate age and size who has suddenly died. During the months during which Max's condition slowly worsens Marcia seeks relief from stress by deciding to learn Beethoven's Appassionata piano sonata, a piece that her mother recorded but that Marcia had not been able to master in the past. When she was a teenager Marcia visited southern California and came to love it. When Michael is offered a promotion and partnership in the law firm, if he returns to the New York office, their marriage is further stressed by Michael's resistance to Marcia being a donor, by his controlling nature, and by Marcia's reluctance to leave Los Angeles and her close friends.
