Book Description
Emma lives alone in a big farmhouse with her animals for company--she talks to her chickens, cuddles up to her pigs in the sty, and caresses her cows. But she also must make a living from her livestock, selling meat and making sausages. For Emma, it’s all part of a natural process, and she does her best to give the pigs a short and sweet death, having developed her very own way of killing her pigs most tenderly. For all her happiness on the farm, there are two things in Emma’s life she desperately wants--money to save her farm, which is deeply in debt, and a man. One night, she is woken by a crash. In her field, she finds a wrecked Ferrari. and in it, an unconscious man--with an enormous amount of cash. It looks like Emma’s prayers have been answered--but have they? Will the mysterious Max adapt to rural life, or will his past come back to haunt them?

After Freud
Author: Mary Elsie Robertson
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780873954624
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
After Freud is the first novel truly to one-up Freudian insights with feminist ones, and in a fresh, witty manner. As a writer, Mary Elsie Robertson is a real craftswoman; hers is an original, hilarious, moving, and very American voice. Thus Robin Morgan (Contributing Editor, Ms. Magazine) describes Mary Elsie Robertson's Novel about a world which is after Freud and yet which is all too often Freudian in its underpinnings. The novel is the story of the narrator's journey towards understanding her brotherly/sisterly marriage and learning to balance roles as writer, mother, and woman in a world that she moves through, for a long time, as an innocent. The experiences Robertson describes will be familiar to all readers of contemporary fiction about American women. What Robertson makes of these experiences is a surprise that points to a better understanding of our timeless turmoil over love and marriage, over bonds and freedom. After Freud is a co-winner of the first annual Novel Competition sponsored by the Associated Writing Programs (AWP), a national non-profit organization of writers and writing programs supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Book Description
So, completely hypothetically, how do you think you would react if you went skydiving with your father and he died tragically. Then six months later, after living with a complete, irrational phobia of heights for most of your junior year, you found out you could fly. And I mean, fly. Like a superhero. Not only that, but then you're kidnapped by the government and taken to the Academy, where you find others like you. All with powers directly tied to a traumatic event in their lives. Just ripped from everything you've ever known and being forced to utilize the very thing that serves as a reminder of the most horrific moment of your life. Then, while juggling that ball of fun, you fall into a whole conspiracy about your captors, their true identity, how you got your powers, and how to escape. How would you react? You don't know? Yeah, makes sense. That's what I would have said six months ago. But, and you'll find this surprising, that's exactly what happened to me.

Trouble arises the moment she steps inside the general store in Guthrie, coming face to face with the sheriff, who has received a telegram to be on the lookout for a tall blond from Georgia. Jed Thomas just came to town to buy supplies for his homestead. The sheriff asked a strange lady a question just as she begins mouthing the words, "Help me, please," in Jed's direction. In half an hour Jed was married to the woman and wondering just how in the world it had all come about. They're married on paper only but slowly come to realize through daily living, arguments, and compromises that they've fallen in love. However, Jed doesn't think a blue-eyed Southern belle could ever really love a dirt farmer like him. And Emma thinks Jed will always love Anna Marie, the woman with whom he almost had an agreement before he married her.
