Book Description
Hey there, it's Sorcha O'Connor. You might know me as the infamous #TheLeftoverBride. Before you ask, no, that hashtag doesn't exactly bring me joy, but it sure makes for a gripping tale, right? Now, are you ready to fall head over heels with what I like to call a “Hallmark movie’s steamier cousin”? If your heart does a little dance for grumpy yet irresistibly sweet and sexy book boyfriends, and holiday rom-coms with second chances sprinkled in, then honey, this romantic comedy is tailor-made for you. Last year, my runaway groom dashed my dreams and almost bankrupted our family bakery, but this year, things are going to change. I've got a to-do list as long as Ryan Sawyer's—my high school sweetheart's—broad shoulders, and I'm determined to tick off every item before the New Year's Eve ball drops. Speaking of Ryan, he's back in town. His grin still makes my heart race, but I refuse to let it affect me. He didn't stick around after high school, so why should he now? But, as fate would have it, I accidentally let slip on national TV that he's helping me with my holiday to-do list. Let the drama begin! Are you ready for a second chance holiday romcom that's as steamy as it is sweet, and as real as it is romantic? Do you love small-town romance with relatable characters and a true-to-life OCD representation? Then join me on this wild ride in "The Leftover Bride", now available on Google Play Books. Experience love, heartbreak, and the power of second chances in this standalone novel that's perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn, Emily Henry, and Lauren Landish. And remember, there's no such thing as cliffhangers in real life, so rest assured, there won't be any in this book either. Happy reading!

Leftover in China: The Women Shaping the World's Next Superpower
Author: Roseann Lake
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 039325464X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Factory Girls meets The Vagina Monologues in this fascinating narrative on China’s single women—and why they could be the source of its economic future. Forty years ago, China enacted the one-child policy, only recently relaxed. Among many other unintended consequences, it resulted in both an enormous gender imbalance—with a predicted twenty million more men than women of marriage age by 2020—and China’s first generations of only-daughters. Given the resources normally reserved for boys, these girls were pushed to study, excel in college, and succeed in careers, as if they were sons. Now living in an economic powerhouse, enough of these women have decided to postpone marriage—or not marry at all—to spawn a label: "leftovers." Unprecedentedly well-educated and goal-oriented, they struggle to find partners in a society where gender roles have not evolved as vigorously as society itself, and where new professional opportunities have made women less willing to compromise their careers or concede to marriage for the sake of being wed. Further complicating their search for a mate, the vast majority of China’s single men reside in and are tied to the rural areas where they were raised. This makes them geographically, economically, and educationally incompatible with city-dwelling “leftovers,” who also face difficulty in partnering with urban men, given the urban men’s general preference for more dutiful, domesticated wives. Part critique of China’s paternalistic ideals, part playful portrait of the romantic travails of China’s trailblazing women and their well-meaning parents who are anxious to see their daughters snuggled into traditional wedlock, Roseann Lake’s Leftover in China focuses on the lives of four individual women against a backdrop of colorful anecdotes, hundreds of interviews, and rigorous historical and demographic research to show how these "leftovers" are the linchpin to China’s future.
