Secret Stairs
Author: Charles Fleming
Publisher: Santa Monica Press
ISBN: 1595809414
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Containing walks and detailed maps from throughout the city, Secret Stairs highlights the charms and quirks of a unique feature of the Los Angeles landscape, and chronicles the geographical, architectural, and historical aspects of the city’s staircases, as well as of the neighborhoods in which the steps are located. From strolling through the classic La Loma neighborhood in Pasadena to walking the Sunset Junction Loop in Silver Lake, to taking the Beachwood Canyon hike through “Hollywoodland” to enjoying the magnificent ocean views from the Castellammare district in Pacific Palisades, Secret Stairs takes you on a tour of the staircases all across the City of Angels. The circular walks, rated for duration and difficulty, deliver tales of historic homes and their fascinating inhabitants, bits of unusual local trivia, and stories of the neighborhoods surrounding the stairs. That’s where William Faulkner was living when he wrote the screenplay for To Have and Have Not; that house was designed by Neutra; over there is a Schindler; that’s where Woody Guthrie lived, where Anais Nin died, and where Thelma Todd was murdered . . . Despite the fact that one of these staircases starred in an Oscar-winning short film—Laurel and Hardy’s The Music Box, from 1932—these civic treasures have been virtually unknown to most of the city’s residents and visitors. Now, Secret Stairs puts these hidden stairways back on the map, while introducing urban hikers to exciting new “trails” all around the city of Los Angeles.

Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 147978141X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
Song of Silver Lake, Book 1 "Ruth" A young woman, searching a way out of an abusive home in Seattle agreed to become the surrogate mother to a wealthy, childless couple. A change of heart compelled the woman to keep the infant and escape to Silver Lake, Idaho. Still, six years later, racked with consuming guilt over her monetary theft, and fearful of the legal reprisals of abducting her own child, the young mother resigned herself to being a fugitive the rest of her life. Then she met the truck driver, Clay. Song of Silver Lake, Book 2 "Audrey" Frustrated with her life as a single, 28 year old woman, Audrey joined a Christian online dating service in Silver Lake, Idaho. Using the e-name Flower Girl, she met White Knight. White Knight was the man she'd been looking for like forever! He shared her religious and family values and, when Audrey poured out her heart, he seemed to listen with all of his heart. "I love you, White Knight." Audrey met another man, Dan Echo, a clerk at the local Ace Hardware. Everything went wrong when she needed to buy a simple chair bolt for her broken desk chair. Poorly versed in hardware terminology, Audrey tried describing the bolt which only confused Dan. "Ma'am, sounds like you really need a nipple. Does your bolt have male or female threads?" Audrey concluded that Dan Echo was crude, rude, and condescending. She learned later that Dan Echo was pastor of a small church and suspected he had a problem with pornography. Dan Echo was definitely bad news. Best to steer clear. Audrey and Dan didn't know that Flower Girl and White Knight were the same persons. Song of Silver Lake, Book 3 "Grace" 17 year old Grace only knew one profession, prostitution. Her mother, Veronica, taught her well. After Veronica was arrested on drug charges, Grace, and her 21 year old mentally retarded sister, Fanny, were taken to the Pocatello Juvenile Dependent Unit. Fearful the authorities would split up the sisters, they escaped to Silver Lake, Idaho. Hiding in their grandparents abandoned travel trailer at the lake, Grace provided for her and Fanny by soliciting drivers at the truck stop. "Hi, like some company?" Providence changed the sister's lives forever when Grace knocked on Clay's truck.

Book Description
Example in this ebook CHAPTER I SKYROCKET IS GONE “Mother, make Trouble stop!” “What is he doing now, Janet?” asked Mrs. Martin, looking up from her sewing and across the table to where her three children were playing a button game. “Oh, he’s doing everything!” said Teddy, shaking a finger at his funny little brother, who was smiling and holding something in his tightly closed fist. “He’s got some of my buttons, and he——” “Yes, and he knocked a lot of my buttons down on the floor,” added Janet. “And he——” “I must have all de wed buttons!” interrupted Trouble himself. “Wed buttons all mine—I goin’ to put ’em on a stwing!” and the little boy, whose name was William, but who was more often called “Trouble,” made a grab for another red button which he saw in a pile in front of his sister Janet. “Don’t take that!” cried Janet. “Ma—I mean Mother—please make him stop!” and she tried to push Trouble’s hand away. “Wed buttons all mine!” cried Trouble, just a trace of tears coming into his eyes. “No, Trouble,” said Ted, more gently. “Let sister have the red buttons. We’re playing a game with them. I’ll let you take all the white buttons!” “I want wed buttons!” wailed Trouble, and as he still tried to get a handful of them from Janet, and as Janet was doing her best to stop William from doing this, there was a little scramble at the table. Trouble’s hand slipped, the buttons slid across the smooth oak boards and fell with a clatter to the floor. “There! Now look what you did, Trouble Martin!” cried Janet, as she leaned back in her chair. “All the nice buttons are on the floor!” Trouble seemed much surprised by what he had done. He opened his fat little fist, and out rolled more buttons, some of which rattled to the floor. “Oh, Mother, he’s spoiling all our game!” said Janet. “Please make him stop!” “I’ll pick up the buttons,” said Teddy, with a sigh. “I guess this is about fifty times I’ve done it to-night.” “Oh, hardly as many as that, I think,” said his mother, with a smile, as she thrust her needle into the cloth she was sewing. “You must not exaggerate, Teddy.” “What’s zaggerate, Mother?” asked Janet. “Is that a new game you can play with buttons?” “No, dear,” answered Mrs. Martin, as she laid aside her sewing and looked at the clock. “To exaggerate means to tell what isn’t exactly so so as to make anything seem bigger than it is. Now I don’t really believe you have picked the buttons off the floor more than five times to-night, have you, Teddy?” she asked. “Well, maybe it was—maybe it was—six!” replied the curly-headed little lad. “And you said fifty!” laughed his mother. “That’s exaggeration—making a thing too big, Teddy, my boy!” “Mrs. Henderson that lives across the street is zaggerated, isn’t she, Mother?” asked Janet, as Teddy was busy picking up the buttons Trouble had knocked to the floor. “Mrs. Henderson exaggerated? Why, Jan, what do you mean?” asked Mrs. Martin. “I mean she’s awful big—fat, you know,” explained the little girl. “She’s zaggerated all right, isn’t she?” “Oh, it doesn’t mean that at all!” said Mrs. Martin, trying not to laugh. “And you mustn’t say ‘awful’ when you mean only ‘very much,’ Janet. That’s exaggeration, too. But, Trouble, I think it’s time for you to go to bed. I’ll take him upstairs,” she said to the two older children, “and then you can play your game a little longer without any one to bother you. Come, Trouble, dear!” To be continue in this ebook
