Pages : 203
Book Description
Ethan McQuarry is a young lighthouse keeper on a tiny island, the rugged outcropping of easternmost Cape Breton Island on the Atlantic Ocean. A man without any family, he sees himself as a silent "vigilant", performing his duties courageously year after year, with an admirable sense of responsibility. He cherishes his solitude and is grateful that his interactions with human beings are rare. Even so, he is haunted by his aloneness in the world and by a feeling that his life is meaningless. His courage, his integrity, his love of the sea and wildlife, of practical skills and of learning are, in the end, not enough. He is faced with internal storms and sometimes literal storms of terrifying power. From time to time he becomes aware that messengers are sent to him from what he calls "the awakeness" in existence, "the listeningness." But he cannot at first recognize them as messengers nor understand what they might be telling him, until he finds himself caught up in catastrophic events, and begins to see the mysterious undercurrents of reality—and the hidden face of love. "They that go down to the sea in ships, trading upon the waters, they see the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep." - Psalm 107: 23

Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Forgotten roots, abandoned family, lost love and three Christmas tragedies all made Chloe Coleman who she is today. When forced to chose, will she stay with the life it took ten years to build, or put aside the memories of a devastating past to become the person she is called to be in the present? Chloe Coleman has worked hard to forget the people she abandoned in her hometown of Cove Creek Tennessee, along with the life changing events that took place there for three consecutive Christmases. She never thinks about Nathan Sharp, the high school sweetheart who jilted her when he moved away for college. Well, almost never. A death in the family brings Chloe back to the mountains of Cove Creek during the Christmas season, where she gets a near lethal dose of community due to her Aunt Mae's manipulations from beyond the grave. Nathan Sharp has reset his roots so deep into Cove Creek's future he never plans to leave again. Once Chloe returns, Nathan knows he has the power to demand that his first love spend a lot more time in her hometown than she'd planned, or wanted. But he'd rather she make that choice on her own. Reconnected with Chloe after so many years, he plans to fight to win her back, despite the fact that she deserted him when he needed her most. He has always believed Chloe belongs with him, now he only has to prove that to her. His hope is that Chloe's memories of the good times spent at the old lighthouse all those years ago will stir up longings from their youth. Before they can find their way back to each other the two will have to overcome the obstacles of a past misunderstanding, a shocking secret, townspeople who want to push them together for their own personal gain, and family who will do whatever necessary to keep them apart.

Women and Men
Author: Joseph McElroy

Category : Apartment houses
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Beginning in childbirth and entered like a multiple dwelling in motion, Women and Men embraces and anatomizes the 1970s in New York--from experiments in the chaotic relations between the sexes to the flux of the city itself. Yet through an intricate overlay of scenes, voices, fact, and myth, this expanding fiction finds its way also across continents and into earlier and future times and indeed the Earth, to reveal connections between the most disparate lives and systems of feeling and power. At its breathing heart, it plots the fuguelike and fieldlike densities of late-twentieth-century life. McElroy rests a global vision on two people, apartment-house neighbors who never quite meet. Except, that is, in the population of others whose histories cross theirs--believers and skeptics; lovers, friends, and hermits; children, parents, grandparents, avatars, and, apparently, angels. For Women and Men shows how the families through which we pass let one person's experience belong to that of many, so that we throw light on each other as if these kinships were refracted lives so real as to be reincarnate. A mirror of manners, the book is also a meditation on the languages--rich, ludicrous, exact, and also American--in which we try to grasp the world we're in. Along the kindred axes of separation and intimacy Women and Men extends the great line of twentieth-century innovative fiction.
