When I Let You Go
Author: Lily Foster
Publisher: Lily Foster
ISBN: 0998916714
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Twelve years ago I ruined my life. Lost the one girl I've ever truly loved and I've been living a lie ever since. I go home to my wife...most nights. But I'm just going through the motions, living the life I was born into, married to a girl predestined for me. It's not my wife's fault, but sometimes I can barely stand the sight of her. Do I sound like a heartless bastard? That's exactly what I am. Go ahead and hate me if you want, but you couldn’t possibly hate me more than I already hate myself. My name is Dylan Cole. It's a name synonymous with power. I am rich beyond measure, domineering, and ruthless when it comes to getting what I want. But I cannot have her. This is what happened...When I Let You Go When I Let You Go is the sixth and final book in Lily Foster's best-selling Let Me series. Dylan Cole's story is a seriously steamy, forbidden age gap romance intended for the 18 and older crowd due to mature language and sexual content. Read them in order, or in any order you like: Let Me Be the One: Darcy and Tom Let Me Love You: Rene and Caleb Let Me Go: Dylan and Kasia Let Me Heal Your Heart: Anna and Declan Let Me Fall: Carolyn and Jeremy When I Let You Go: Dylan

Laurie Halse Anderson
Author: Wendy J. Glenn
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 081087282X
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
Laurie Halse Anderson's path to writing for young adult readers was indirect, unintentional, and difficult. Although Anderson may never have set out to write for teens, her commitment to creating stories that enrich, disquiet, and guide the teens she admires led to her selection as the 2009 recipient of the prestigious Margaret A. Edwards Award. The author of several highly acclaimed novels_including Speak, Fever 1793, Prom, Chains and Wintergirls_Anderson channels the lives of real readers through her imagination and onto the page, enrapturing those who ultimately see themselves reflected in her tales. In Laurie Halse Anderson: Speaking in Tongues, Wendy J. Glenn examines the life and works of one of the most popular authors for teens. Drawing from both primary sources (Anderson's writings, published interviews, speeches, the author's blog, and other online sources, as well as a live interview with the author) and secondary sources (reviews of and scholarly articles on her work), Glenn explores the themes and impact of Anderson novels. This richly researched work includes in-depth analyses of each of Anderson's young adult titles, chapters on Anderson's lesser-known writings for children, short stories, and poems, and a synthesis of reviews for each title Anderson has published. Readers of this book will come away with a greater understanding of an author who has demonstrated the marked capacity for writing diverse texts for multiple audiences in varying genres, breaking barriers with each title she creates.

English Lessons and Other Stories
Author: Shauna Singh Baldwin
Publisher: GLE Library
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Shauna Singh Baldwin's passionate stories dramatize the lives of Indian women from 1919 to today, from India to Canada to the US. Through the eyes of these women adjusting to change, we see a world whose familiar rhythms mask dissonance and discordance. More overt is the ongoing struggle for the Sikh women in these stories to keep their identity and assert it - the massacres of Partition and 1984 are never far away. More subtle is the cost of integration into the new world, how colonialism survives in the minds of the colonized, and how these women confront the twin fear of freedom and fear of "the other." Moving from the inner sanctums of the family to the world of the office, subway and university, Baldwin lingers sensuously on the mundane surface of her characters' lives: the jewel-like colours of turbans in the wash water, the shimmering bowls of cashews and almonds on a table, the worn magic of an abandoned house in Shimla. Slowly, almost innocuously, Baldwin reveals the unseen country her characters inhabit, only to allow this world to withdraw and emerge once again. However modern or westernized they might be, Baldwin's characters are always outsiders who inhabit silence and learn to use it, sometimes as a refuge, sometimes as a weapon. Some remain prisoners of silence, choking on their own knowledge. Some use silence as a weapon against their oppressors. Others harness its power to seize their freedom. In "Jassie," an aging, dying Indian grandmother, a foreigner in her adopted country, helps another woman come to terms with death; in "A Pair of Ears," a servant-woman wreaks revenge on an old woman's feckless son; in "Nothing Must Spoil this Visit," western and eastern women find unexpected candour and passion.

It's Hard to Stay on a Horse While You're Unconscious
Author: Joyce Davis
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1465321764
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
For someone like Joyce, who was getting back into horses after a 40 year absence, finding the new, which is really reinventing the old, information on horse gentling was like making that discovery as a 6 year old that pollywogs turn into frogs. Now trainers speak of gentling the horse, not breaking it. We as people are becoming caring individuals who honor animals as the Native American’s did, as little sister and little brother. We are also finding that animals, in turn assist our growth and keep us in balance. The main theme of It's Hard to Stay on a Horse While You're Unconscious is the journey of mother and daughter into acquiring horses, and their resultant experiences. In It's Hard to Stay on a Horse While You're Unconscious we are traveling into a wild land, for in life we rarely know what lies beyond that next turning of the canyon walls. If we follow the Chapter Headings, though, we will have some guidelines, “Watch for Lions, Dodge Wildfires, Get a Horse, Stampede with a Mustang.” The trailblazing aspect of It's Hard to Stay on a Horse While You're Unconscious lies in it appendices. When Joyce noted that a horse needs trained on both sides, or a foal, when imprinted, needs to be massaged all over, she hypothesized that it had something to do with the Corpus callosum, which is the bridge between the two brain hemispheres. When studying the brain, she discovered it is first necessary to understand how a horse sees. Thus, following the narrative is a bit of science, an Appendix on The Eye, and one on The Brain.
