Before the Wind

ISBN: 030795899X

Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Following The Highest Tide, Border Songs, and Truth Like the Sun, Jim Lynch now gives us a grand and idiosyncratic family saga that will stand alongside Ken Kesey’s Sometimes a Great Notion. Joshua Johannssen has spent all of his life surrounded by sailboats. His grandfather designed them, his father built and raced them, his Einstein-obsessed mother knows why and how they work (or not). For Josh and his two siblings, their backyard was the Puget Sound and sailing their DNA. But both his sister and brother fled many years ago: Ruby to Africa and elsewhere to do good works on land, and Bernard to god-knows-where at sea, a fugitive and pirate. Suddenly thirty-one, Josh—who repairs boats of all kinds in a Steinbeckian marina south of Seattle—is pained and confused by whatever the hell went wrong with his volatile family. His parents are barely speaking, his mystified grandfather is drinking harder, and he himself—despite an endless and comic flurry of online dates—hasn’t even come close to finding a girlfriend. But when the Johannssens unexpectedly reunite for the most important race in these waters—all of them together on a classic vessel they made decades ago—they will be carried to destinies both individual and collective, and to a heart-shattering revelation. Past and present merge seamlessly and collide surprisingly as Jim Lynch reveals a family unlike any other, with the grace and humor and magic of a master storyteller.

Run into the Wind by Lynn HubbardA Historical Romance for today's women.Determined to take charge of her own life after her family was slaughtered before her eyes; Sabrina Lovett heads west and hops off a train to start anew. Hiding from her affluent brother she takes on the guise of a boy. Everything was going well until the exasperating new Sherriff came to town. Brock Stafford was used to being in control. He was irritated to no end by the stable boy "Will" who challenged him at every turn. Aggravated by his own reaction to the boy he tries to ignore him completely until tragedy brings them together.Sabrina trusts Brock with her life; but can she trust him with her secret?"Lynn Hubbard should titillate romance fans with this western. Her idea of the gradual discovery of gender, and the ensuing electric explosion of love is one readers will hungrily follow to the last word. Readers will become emotionally involved because Hubbard knows how to develop sympathetic characters with whom it is easy to bond. So many novelists seem skilled at everything except making readers care about the characters. The author succeeds in this most important aspect."--Stephen George, author and professional editorThe intimacy scenes were pretty gratuitous and HOT!!! The book definitely held my interest. Overall, It was a very good story, right up there with Charlaine Harris (True Blood series). I was a little disappointed at the end because I was wanting the story to continue but isn't that the test of a good book; always leave the reader wanting more !!! ~Myra D., Book FanaticI just finished reading "Run into the Wind". Normally I don't care for westerns or romance stories but this one held my attention from the very beginning. It was well written, sweet ... yet sensual, it flowed smoothly, and kept my interest to the end. I am looking forward to reading another book by this author. ~Cathy Farmer, Artist
