Pages : 180
Book Description
There’s more than one way to feed a hungry man. Brody McFarlan left home eight years ago, after he and his younger brother had a falling-out over a girl. When a frantic phone call sends him racing home, he’s stunned to learn the truth. Mom isn’t sick, she’s threatening to sell the ranch—unless he and his brothers get busy settling down. With Mom on strike, Brody hesitantly settles in to help—and find a replacement cook before he starves. Fired from her last job, Jessie Taylor is forced to ride out on her horse, leaving her car behind. Hot, tired and homeless, she stumbles onto the Ugly Stick Saloon, grateful to pick up a spatula in trade for a burger to fill her belly and a much-needed rest for her road-weary mount. One bite of Jessie’s tasty burger, and Brody offers the rough-and-tumble blonde a job and a stall. It doesn’t hurt that she’s sexy as hell, and he hungers for a taste of her sweet pink mouth. The only bur under his saddle is the grudge he still carries…and the fear that his brother will once again swoop in to steal the pretty filly right out from under him. Note: This book was previously published by Samhain Publishing in August of 2015.

Elsewhere
Author: Yan Ge
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982198486
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
From multi-award-winning author Yan Ge, a shimmering, genre-bending English-language debut that announces the next phase in a major literary career. “A bewitching collection of stories that will leave you awestruck, shaken, and wanting to reach for it again and again.” —Paul Yoon, author of Run Me to Earth In twenty years, Yan Ge has authored thirteen books written in Chinese, working across an impressive range of genres and subjects. Now, Yan Ge transposes her dynamic storytelling onto another linguistic landscape. The result is a collection humming with her trademark wit and style—and with the electricity of a seasoned artist flexing her virtuosity with a new medium. A young woman bonds with an encampment of poets after a devastating earthquake. Against her better judgment, a college student begins to fall for an acquaintance who might be dead. And a Confucian disciple returns to the Master bearing a jar full of grisly remains. Weaving between reality and dreamy surreality, these nine stories wend toward elsewhere, a comforting, frustrating, just-out-of-reach place familiar to anyone who has ever experienced longing. Through it all Yan Ge’s protagonists peer thoughtfully at their own feelings of displacement—physical or emotional, the result of travel, emigration, or exile. Brilliant and irresistibly readable, Elsewhere explores the utility (or not) of art in the face of lonesomeness, quotidian, and spectacular. This highly anticipated collection is further proof that Yan Ge is a generational literary talent, to be watched closely for decades to come.

The Awakening of Miss Dana

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
"No I will never be alright. I will always be hunted and tormented and truly I deserve to die." The story of Taylor’s life, has made me laugh, made me cry, and most importantly made me realize that while most people go through life and think they have it hard or rough, they have never walked a mile in the shoes of someone who has had it worse. She has AWAKENED me to the harsh realities that our native cultures have endured, and not through a history book lesson, but through the eyes of an individual who has survived it. She shows how domestic and cultural violence impacts society, and the individuals that have endured its most brutal lessons. Taylor has also showed that with a belief in one’s self, and with the power of love, that one can overcome steep adversity. Taylor was able to connect with me on a personal level, making it easier for me to understand exactly how and what she was feeling. The stories of her grandmothers let light into a world of pain, torment, and cruelty that spans multiple generations, and how it has impacted her life personally. It also allowed for the reader to experience the sub standard treatment of abused women and the cultural oppression of native cultures, both in her home country, and around the world. Allowing for the reader to see first hand, and to understand what true pain, abuse, and cruelty is. ~Mike Carey Business owner Noble Electric Portland, Indiana
