Book Description
When the encounter long sought by mankind -- first contact with intelligent beings from outer space -- occurred two years ago in a remote area of the Idaho Panhandle, the event was not marked in the heavens with strange lights or on Earth with newspaper headlines. It began prosaically one Thursday morning in late May... "Where are you from?" She glanced toward the eastern ridge, studying it, and for a moment he thought she might point to a rock or a tree. Weighing her answer carefully, she pointed toward the top of the ridge and said, "From there." "From the other side of the mountain?" he asked. "No. From the other side of the morning."

Overcoming Love in Wonderland

ISBN: 148087521X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
Overcoming Love in Wonderland is a humorous Alice in Wonderland store for women who love too much. It’s a story of self discovery as BreAnna tries to leave a bad relationship and emotional heal. Held captive in her obsession to save Michael, BreAnna, a whimsical woman of 28, awakens after a car accident to find she’s in a strange hospital room with a woman caregiver called the White Jacket. The white Jacket learns of BreAnna’s painful and unrequited love for Michael (a diabetic pharmacist) and tries to help BreAnna by giving her a book entitled “Women Who Love Too Much.” Can the book help her to see things more clearly? Will it release her from her love and need to save Michael? While recovering, BreAnna meets the Purple-haired woman, a chain-smoking antagonist, snooping through her clothes. The purple-haired woman evilly informs BreAnna where she really is, a quirky mental hospital. The purple-haired woman introduces BreAnna to the other zany patients by their nicknames: Trixie, a teenage prankster who plays with the lights; Antsy, an anxious woman with two ants on her butt named Skeetzo and Frenik; Spits, a high fashion/pretentious model with a lisp; PJ a playful old woman who wears pajamas; Nev, a young girl spellbound to a TV that doesn’t work; Nympho, a large woman who’s obsessed with "farting;” The “Devil,” a ghostly child who cries in the closets; Thumper, a woman who beats her head against walls; and the Caregiver, nicknamed the "Strait jacket,” a woman who restrains her patients in an effort to restore order in their dysfunctional world. After meeting her fellow patients, BreAnna becomes overwhelmed by their insanity and decides to take the advice of the purple-haired woman and use drugs to mask her pain. Can BreAnna find the strength and courage to separate herself from their craziness before it’s too late? Or will their madness envelope her, keeping her a prisoner of love in wonderland? Overcoming Love in Wonderland is dedicated to my beloved Mom and Dad and for all women and men who love too much. I would like to say a special thank you to Pat and Sue Thomas for their friendship while writing this book. Thank you, Sue, for giving up some of your valuable time to help me. Your extra set of eyes was much appreciated and needed in editing my book. Disclaimers found in my book starting with Scripture from the Bible are all from NKJV except for pages 168, 169, & 185 which is from KJV. For sound effects used in my book they are located at written sound Onomatopoeia dictionary website and Onomatopoeia book on the internet. Also in my book there are references and usage from Robin Norwood’s book “Women Who Love Too Much” especially in chapters 5, 6, 15 and 16. I would also like to extend a special thank you to Robin Norwood for writing an insightful and helpful book. Your hard work and diligence in writing “Women Who Love Too Much” helped change my life. I’m eternally grateful.

Firefly Lane

Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1429927844
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah comes a powerful novel of love, loss, and the magic of friendship. . . . now a #1 Netflix series! In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all—beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be: Kate, doomed to be forever uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped in glamour and mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her. They make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become TullyandKate. Inseparable. So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel. Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest, Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of two women and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives. From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television news that captivates her. She will follow her own blind ambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . . and loneliness. Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn't know is how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how she'll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she'll envy her famous best friend. . . . For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship—jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It's about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you—and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you'll never forget . . . one you'll want to pass on to your best friend.
