Book Description
Is life a predestined series of events, or is life what you make of it? Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to follow the path to happiness, life has other plans for you. Such is the case for Mary Margaret and Elana, the daughters of Doris Madison. The rural area around Chatsworth, England in 1845 is a world centered on class differences. The aristocracy holds the money and power, and the lower class work for them without much chance of reward or advancement. Doris has brought her girls up to work hard and be content with their lot in life. The wealthy have been brought up to believe themselves to be far above the commoners, although some can be more ignorant about it than others.

This is a humorous tale about romance and nostalgia. Joe is seventy years old tomorrow, and he doesn't know, or even care.

So now all alone, he spends all his nights with just his stars and a bottle for company. That is, until Joe is visited by his old best pal from high school, Chad Dablusie, on the eve of his seventieth birthday and persuaded to try and get back with the love of his life, the one person he still loves and misses, his true love Stacey. A double murder provides the backdrop to this emotional roller coaster of a story, sprinkled with affection between two old buddies, sending out a profound message, the true bond of friendship never dies. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Yogi
Author: Jon Pessah
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316310980
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
Discover the definitive biography of Yogi Berra, the New York Yankees icon, winner of 10 World Series championships, and the most-quoted player in baseball history. Lawrence "Yogi" Berra was never supposed to become a major league ballplayer. That's what his immigrant father told him. That's what Branch Rickey told him, too—right to Berra's face, in fact. Even the lowly St. Louis Browns of his youth said he'd never make it in the big leagues. Yet baseball was his lifeblood. It was the only thing he ever cared about. Heck, it was the only thing he ever thought about. Berra couldn't allow a constant stream of ridicule about his appearance, taunts about his speech, and scorn about his perceived lack of intelligence to keep him from becoming one of the best to ever play the game—at a position requiring the very skills he was told he did not have. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews and four years of reporting, Jon Pessah delivers a transformational portrait of how Berra handled his hard-earned success—on and off the playing field—as well as his failures; how the man who insisted "I really didn't say everything I said!" nonetheless shaped decades of America's culture; and how Berra's humility and grace redefined what it truly means to be a star. Overshadowed on the field by Joe DiMaggio early in his career and later by a youthful Mickey Mantle, Berra emerges as not only the best loved Yankee but one of the most appealingly simple, innately complex, and universally admired men in all of America.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Coincidence of Callie & Kayden comes an emotional new story about two troubled souls sharing one all-encompassing love . . . The dark secret Kayden has kept hidden for years is finally out. Worse, he's facing charges for battery. The only way to clear his name is for Callie to speak up-something he'll never ask her to do. Instead, he'll do whatever he must to protect her . . . even if it means letting go of the only girl he's ever loved. Callie knows Kayden is going back to his dark place and desperately wants to save him. But that means facing her greatest fear and admitting her own painful secrets aloud.
