Book Description
All of her life, Christabella Brimble has been close to her brother, Gabriel ( whom she calls Eli ) and they have practically been inseparable. Because they are two years apart in age, Eli has always been her protector. Their mother has always been distant in every conceivable way, by burying herself in her work as a lawyer, and leaving them to fend for themselves sometimes not coming home until well into the evening. Recently however, despite how close they once were, Christabella can't seem to get him to open up to her. He spends long periods where he doesn't talk to her at all, and even longer periods out of the house. All she wants is to understand why he is distancing himself, but the more she tries to pry it out of him the more he pulls away. Until one night she pushes him a little too far, and everything breaks. Will she lose her brother after all these years?

Amidst Honeysuckle, Promises, & Forbidden Things: Reimagined
Author: Breannalyn Pearce
Publisher: Raven Edges Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
Christabella ‘Belle’ Brimble, has just started her freshman year of high school and has a lot on her plate. Between the constant nagging of her cheerleader best friend, Anna, to give a care about her reputation, and the frequent staring of her former friend, Walter, she feels like the walls are closing in on her from all corners. But what bothers her most, isn’t her best friend nagging or her former friend burning holes through her back … No. Her problems stem from her two-year-older big brother, Gabriel Elijah ‘Eli’ Brimble, seeking to avoid her for the better part of the past year. Eli has put-up these constant barriers between them, dictating what she can and can’t say and do around him, practically to the point of being ridiculous and she’s tried everything to have a sensible conversation with him about it, but every time she tries, he willfully shuts her out. After an explosive fight on the beach over her napping in his bed which ends in a lock being installed on his bedroom door, she decides she’s had enough of these childish games and makes it her mission to figure out what is going on with him so they can save the close-knit friendship they once regarded as children, before it’s, too, late. Trigger Warning: This work contains dark, heavy themes much like it's predecessors and some readers may find some of the content disturbing or otherwise uncomfortable. If you are easily triggered you may want to avoid this fictional work. Your mental health is very important, so please take care of yourself. (AKA: Don't be Belle and Eli.)

The Complete Poetry of James Hearst
Author: James Hearst
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
Part of the regionalist movement that included Grant Wood, Paul Engle, Hamlin Garland, and Jay G. Sigmund, James Hearst helped create what Iowa novelist Ruth Suckow called a poetry of place. A lifelong Iowa farner, Hearst began writing poetry at age nineteen and eventually wrote thirteen books of poems, a novel, short stories, cantatas, and essays, which gained him a devoted following Many of his poems were published in the regionalist periodicals of the time, including the Midland, and by the great regional presses, including Carroll Coleman's Prairie Press. Drawing on his experiences as a farmer, Hearst wrote with a distinct voice of rural life and its joys and conflicts, of his own battles with physical and emotional pain (he was partially paralyzed in a farm accident), and of his own place in the world. His clear eye offered a vision of the midwestern agrarian life that was sympathetic but not sentimental - a people and an art rooted in place.

Languages : en
Pages : 558
Book Description
The story of Oliver Twist - orphaned, and set upon by evil and adversity from his first breath - shocked readers when it was published. After running away from the workhouse and pompous beadle Mr Bumble, Oliver finds himself lured into a den of thieves peopled by vivid and memorable characters - the Artful Dodger, vicious burglar Bill Sikes, his dog Bull's Eye, and prostitute Nancy, all watched over by cunning master-thief Fagin. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.
