The Boys and Their Baby
Author: Larry Wolff
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0307818993
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
“The boys” are Adam and Huck, former college roommates. A decade out of college and just as long out of touch with each other, they are reunited when Adam arrives to share Huck’s apartment on Russian Hill in San Francisco. “Their baby” is Christopher, Huck’s entrancing almost-one-year-old son, whose mother is nowhere in evidence and, at first, much to Adam’s befuddlement, mysteriously unmentioned. The story centers on Adam as he sets out to construct a life for himself in the unfamiliar city. He assumes his new job as an English teacher at a fancy private school, where one of his students develops an obsessive (and disturbing) interest in him. Adam coasts into simultaneous affairs with two women: one of them a striking, locally celebrated chanteuse, and the other a physics teacher with a distinctive footwear fetish. As the city and its denizens—women and men, gay and straight, young and old—make Adam welcome in various and telling ways…as he approaches a certain peace with his past (through letters to and from his riotously enraged ex-girlfriend and his hugely intimidating mother)…as living with the baby and the baby’s father exerts a profound influence on Adam…as the story of the baby’s missing mother dramatically unfolds…we watch Adam come to surprising terms with his life and himself. The Boys and Their Baby is a wonderfully entertaining novel of domestic and sexual manners, 1980s San Francisco-style, marking the debut of splendidly gifted novelist Larry Wolff.

Book Description
For many, many years you may have heard that God doesn't still perform miracles. A Mother In Mourning will restore your faith if you are among the many who don't believe. Kathy will tell you, too, of the many miracles God has given to her. One of the miracles was giving birth to her sons. Another came after the fatal accident of her oldest son when an angel was waiting for her in the most unusual place, her favorite coffee house. A Mother In Mourning is sure to be a best seller of its kind. Kathy delivers a truly powerful love story involving herself, her two sons and her God. From the first day she gave birth to her sons, she held them close to her. To Aaron (and Kendrick), she was a one of a kind mother; she was their mentor, their right hand, their best friend and their preparedness for this thing called life. Most importantly, she was Aaron's (and is Kendrick's) overseer in making sure that without a doubt their ultimate destination would be "heaven." A Mother In Mourning will take you on a journey filled with nothing but love, joy and the pain of being a mother. This heart-felt true story will have you laughing out loud and at the same time bring joyful tears to your eyes. It's clear that Kathy understood from the very beginning what it took to be a good mother. You will also read how God gave her a premonition that something tragic was going to happen five months before his death. She didn't know what it was until a knock came on her door one early morning. She opened the door only to see two police officers standing there and one of them was holding her son's drivers license. Through all of their years together with his following closely in her footsteps, she never could havepredicted that Aaron would have had such a short life. Kathy and her sons were so close, it seemed to her that the sun would shine on them forever. One Wednesday evening just as the sun was going down, God called Aaron's name. Even though she has always been a natural teacher of having faith in God the devastation of losing her son has caused her faith to increase even more. You will read how God got her through the lowest stage of her life when no one else was there for her. A Mother In Mourning is not just for someone who has lost a loved one. It is a book that unmistakably teaches us to have faith in God and to realize that life is a journey. Yes, it is a journey that we all must travel and that will one day (make no mistake about it) come to an end.

The Novel
Author: James A. Michener
Publisher: Dial Press
ISBN: 0804151555
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
In this riveting, ambitious novel from James A. Michener, the renowned chronicler of epic history turns his extraordinary imagination to a world he knew better than anyone: the world of books. Lukas Yoder, a novelist who has enjoyed a long, successful career, has finished what he believes to be his final work. Then a tragedy strikes in his community, and he becomes obsessed with writing about it. Meanwhile, Yoder’s editor fights to preserve her integrity—and her author—as her firm becomes the target of a corporate takeover; a local critic who teaches literature struggles with his ambitions and with his feelings about Yoder’s success; and a devoted reader holds the key to solving the mystery that haunts Yoder’s hometown. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Hawaii. Praise for The Novel “Michener explores some of the deepest issues raised by narrative literature.”—The New York Times “A good, old-fashioned, sink-your-teeth-into-it story . . . The Novel lets us see an unfamiliar side of the author, at the same time portraying the delicate, complex relationship among editors, agents and writers.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer “Michener loves literature, and his information about some of his favorite reading is almost as alluring as his explanation of how to handle a manuscript.”—Associated Press “So absorbing you simply will not want [it] to end.”—Charleston News & Courier
