Jack Nelson finds himself at the center of a storm. An unexpected candidate for President, he is virtually guaranteed to win if he follows the advice of his political advisors. But following their advice requires a compromise of his principles, and a betrayal of his father's memory.

He and his family must confront a media biased in favor of controversy over accuracy, and the threat of scandal created by an unscrupulous incumbent President fighting to hold on to power.

Book Description
Go west, young man! The magic of the American West captured young Earl Norris during high school and held him hostage all his life. As pastor of a tiny church in the small town of Saline in eastern Montana, he found himself a world away–in more ways than one-- from his earlier life in Chicago. How would he deal with the perplexing differences? Having grown up in an urban environment with over four million people, he now lived in a town with a population of less than five hundred, and in a state with only about seven hundred thousand. Earl had gone west alone because his high school sweetheart, Lynn Ellerton, who could not accept the idea of becoming the wife of a pastor, had broken their engagement. Will he remain a bachelor? Could he ever re-connect with Lynn? Or will there be someone eligible in Saline, Montana? Will his detractors-- the morning coffee crowd at the local gas station-- force him out with their whispered suspicions? Might he find work further west? With declining population, what of the survival of the Saline church? Meanwhile what happened to Lynn? Did she settle for a job in her father’s company in Chicago? Her story is even more surprising than Earl’s. Westbound leads the reader through many a twist and turn in the lives of these two high school sweethearts, Earl and Lynn. Their stories will take the reader north to Alaska, west to California, and south to New Zealand as well as across the Atlantic to London in a tale of triumph and tragedy, tenderness and love.

Pages : 250
Book Description
Porkville, Ohio is a small town with similarities to many communities across America. However, if you are able to put faces with each of these characters, you should seriously consider moving away.The action is centered around two friendly foes; Milton Farnsworth, a retired postal worker, and Earl Swenson, the town dentist.The oasis of conversation is Lou's Bar, and Lou rules his thriving little dive of a business with a firm hand. In other words, if your glass isn't resting on a napkin or coaster, you will regret it. Lou's bouncer, The Weaver, will make sure of that.There's never a dull moment in Porkville-from Little Cliff's nonstop lying, to Liddy Loomis' overly observant guarding of her neighborhood; there's always something to keep abreast of.If you're ever in the area, be sure to stop by VerKlempt's Grocery and say "hi" to Marty, the bagger (you can't miss it, it's right next to VerKlempt's Funeral Parlor). Then, head on down to Lou's for a night of fun. If you're lucky, you may even "catch" some live music; Edwin Flambeau and the Smallmouth Bass are due back in town anytime now.

The Pillars of the Earth
Author: Ken Follett
Publisher: Penguin

Languages : en
Pages : 1009
Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller Oprah's Book Club Selection The “extraordinary . . . monumental masterpiece” (Booklist) that changed the course of Ken Follett’s already phenomenal career—and begins where its prequel, The Evening and the Morning, ended. “Follett risks all and comes out a clear winner,” extolled Publishers Weekly on the release of The Pillars of the Earth. A departure for the bestselling thriller writer, the historical epic stunned readers and critics alike with its ambitious scope and gripping humanity. Today, it stands as a testament to Follett’s unassailable command of the written word and to his universal appeal. The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known . . . of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect—a man divided in his soul . . . of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame . . . and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state and brother against brother. A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, this is Ken Follett’s historical masterpiece.
