Ida and Her Daughters
Author: Ted Gross
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 166418502X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Ida and Her Daughters is the story of a thirteen-year-old immigrant girl who flees the pogroms of early 20th century Russia with her father and older brother and creates a life for herself in America. Settling in Bangor, Maine with relatives, she is enamored of a young American who impregnates her and, after their marriage, they begin to raise three girls in a nine-year period—until he abandons her for another woman. This saga of Ida’s struggles as well as her daughters' subsequent lives in twentieth-century America is gripping. Rhonda, the eldest, is forced into an arranged marriage; Ruth, the second, marries a husband who becomes embroiled with the Mafia, and the third, Debra, falls in love with an ambitious academic during the racial revolution of the 1960’s and ‘70’s in New York. Ida and Her Daughters is a panoramic view of twentieth-century America, from the experiences of an immigrant girl to the separate marriages of her three daughters. In this compelling novel, Ted Gross has explored the American family, its strengths and its weaknesses.

Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
“The heart-pounding space race is on . . . in this riveting SF thriller” from the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of Red Lightning and Rolling Thunder (Publishers Weekly, starred review). As Chinese and US spacecraft compete to be the first to land on Mars, a former astronaut, his cousin, and four teens from Florida decide to take matters into their own hands. If they can quickly build their own space-worthy ship using scrap metal, appliances, and power tools, they have a chance to come from behind—thanks to an inventive new power source that can propel them to the Red Planet within three days. No guts, no glory . . . “Varley’s great strength is in his characterizations, but in Red Thunder he also shows a strong sense of place. . . . If you are willing to simply fantasize about fleeing your office cubicle and becoming a heroic space explorer, this novel will fulfill your wishes.” —The Washington Post “Fast paced . . . Engaging characters.” —Rocky Mountain News “Full of little gems of wit and intelligence.” —Booklist “[A] fun-filled adventure. Varley matches a serious literary style with an outrageous plot, and he’s one of the few writers in the field who could make it work.” —Chronicle
