Precious Cargo
Author: Tiffany Zweifel
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666778141
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
All the passengers plus the copilot had zipped off the delayed plane, with their luggage bouncing behind them, when Kylie, the flight attendant, and Landon, the pilot, heard a whimpering cry that drew them to seat 21D, where a tiny, blue-eyed, golden-curled girl huddled, awaiting her mother’s return. But the mother had designs of her own, unbeknownst to the shocked trio left in her wake. As the innocent toddler grew increasingly central to their happiness, both Kylie and Landon feared the mother would come crashing back, this time to take Jessica away. What had happened to the woman? Something awful? Or was abandoning her daughter part of the plan? Would she reenter their lives as dramatically as she had once disappeared? While they hoped the mother would stay away, someone else was desperately searching for her. Their futures faced a collision course, but to a healing conclusion or a heap of smoking ruins? One thing was for sure—in an instant, five lives were permanently changed from their previous headings, a new course was charted, and a few hearts were hijacked by the abandoned precious cargo that Kylie scooped into her arms.

Noisy at the wrong times
Author: Michael Volpe
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1784623121
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Against a backdrop of nuns, hit men, gangsters, rugby and ice-cream, Noisy at the wrong times is an inspiring memoir by Michael Volpe, General Manager and founder of Opera Holland Park, now one of the UK’s finest and most popular opera festivals. Volpe’s upbringing in a fatherless Italian family in London is hardly recognised as being one from which champions of the high, classical arts emerge, but at the heart of this story is his time at Woolverstone Hall, a prestigious state boarding school that took bright inner city boys and gave them an Eton-style education - with culture at the heart of the curriculum. Volpe's sudden immersion in a world of rules, traditions and high expectation produced some surprising – and not so surprising – results. With brutal honesty, Noisy at the wrong times charts Volpe’s torrid path through this extraordinary school; his countless misdemeanours, the tragedies he experienced, his often shameful behaviour and his endless conflicts - both emotional and physical – with authority. Noisy at the wrong times is a lesson for modern educationalists at a time when inner city children from poor backgrounds are often written off even before they begin, when cultural education is diminishing and aspirational leadership of young people is little more than a platitude.
