Book Description
At the roof of all my poetic renderings, therein lies suffrage, deception, lost love and depressive sadness. But in the midst of all this, resides God. He makes the unbearable bearable, the festive most decidedly joyous and hopeless hopeful. I have been and continue to be the recipient of God's unconditional love and care. It has been a journey assuredly heartfelt and one that I could only traverse, as we all have predestination which cannot and should not be altered.

Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Beautifully rendered, the stories in 'Rain Check' could well be the footprints and photographs of our own lives if we'd have taken risks as daring as Noe's characters. Each misstep, triumph and regret rings true. Reading these stories is like being a lucky voyeur who happens upon an artist with brush in hand, nearing the finishing touch of their masterpiece. Nothing is more potent than prose that lifts off the page and lands, like a well-placed bullet or caress, on the heart, and that's precisely what Noe has done here. Len Kuntz, author of 'Dark Sunshine' and 'I'm Not Supposed to be Here and Neither Are You' The tiny, potent stories that make up this debut by Levi Andrew Noe both surprise and delight. There's wisdom in these pages, but also humor, tenderness, and magic. 'Rain Check' is a terrific read from a young author to watch. Kathy Fish, author of 'Wild Life', 'Rift' and 'Together We Can Bury It'

Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
A playful romantic comedy featuring dueling delis, fake dating, a shockingly awesome ex, and just the right amount of amnesia “[A] delightfully tropey rom-com . . . This is a sweet confection.”—Publishers Weekly Ellie Greco wishes she weren’t stuck in Milborough. For a few brief, shining years, she escaped her hometown to pursue her dream career—designing beautiful, elaborate costumes for theater—until her father's death five years ago called her home to run the family's decades-old deli. Yes, she loves the place, but she’d always thought she was meant for more exciting things than stocking the right tinned fish. But when Ellie hears that a local landlord is planning to rent to Mangia, the glitzy gourmet food department store, the very existence of Greco’s Deli is suddenly in jeopardy. She tries to plead her case to Theo Taylor, scion of the property management firm that is about to put her out of business, but their meeting goes from bad (it’s not her fault he’s infuriating) to worse (no one expects the ceiling to literally fall in). With Theo out cold, Ellie panics and claims to be his fiancée . . . and almost passes out herself when amnesia means Theo seems to actually believe her. Soon, the effects of the head injury wear off, but Theo proposes that their “engagement” stick around. If they manage to convince enough people, they might both get what they want: an end to the Mangia deal. Ellie doesn’t trust him (after all, if Theo Taylor wants it, how can it be good for her?) but seeing no other option, she reluctantly agrees. And miraculously, the fake engagement seems to be working—even Ted, Theo’s shrewd, cold father seems convinced—that is, until Sam, Theo’s ex-fiancée, reappears on the scene. Not only does she see through their ruse, but she proposes an arrangement of her own, forcing Ellie to decide between a blossoming friendship, her family legacy, and the burgeoning romance she frankly never asked for.

Do you believe in love at first write? Macie Regan is too busy for much of a social life. College graduation is looming, her job prospects are grim, and she’s planning her best friend Lauren’s bachelorette party. Her only outlets are messages from Guy, her anonymous pen pal for the last four months. Macie needs to decide if she should meet Guy in person or let things stay as they are: safe and uninhibited. When Lauren decides on a joint bachelor-bachelorette party, she wants Macie to put past grudges aside to plan it with Macie’s least favorite person on the planet: Zac Sparks. Zac Sparks has had his life planned out for him, and he’s totally okay with that. He’ll start working full-time for his father’s investment firm after graduation; eventually move up the ladder and one day take over the company. Everything is straight and narrow. Nothing requires too much thinking. But when he talks to his mystery girl on the Blind Friends app his best friend Ford and fiancée Lauren created, he lets himself be honest and open in a way he’s never been able to before. It helps him ignore the party planning with Macie Regan, who would rather slit his throat than have a civil conversation. When Macie finds out Zac is the anonymous messenger, she realizes how wrong she’s been about him and decides to show him who she really is. Hopefully he’ll see that what he’s got right in front of him is exactly what he’s looking for on the other side of his screen.
