Good Boy
Author: Jennifer Finney Boylan
Publisher: Celadon Books
ISBN: 1250261864
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
From bestselling author of She’s Not There, New York Times opinion columnist, and human rights activist Jennifer Finney Boylan, Good Boy: My Life in Seven Dogs, a memoir of the transformative power of loving dogs. This is a book about dogs: the love we have for them, and the way that love helps us understand the people we have been. It’s in the love of dogs, and my love for them, that I can best now take the measure of the child I once was, and the bottomless, unfathomable desires that once haunted me. There are times when it is hard for me to fully remember that love, which was once so fragile, and so fierce. Sometimes it seems to fade before me, like breath on a mirror. But I remember the dogs. In her New York Times opinion column, Jennifer Finney Boylan wrote about her relationship with her beloved dog Indigo, and her wise, funny, heartbreaking piece went viral. In Good Boy, Boylan explores what should be the simplest topic in the world, but never is: finding and giving love. Good Boy is a universal account of a remarkable story: showing how a young boy became a middle-aged woman—accompanied at seven crucial moments of growth and transformation by seven memorable dogs. “Everything I know about love,” she writes, “I learned from dogs.” Their love enables us to pull off what seem like impossible feats: to find our way home when we are lost, to live our lives with humor and courage, and above all, to best become our true selves.

Jennie's Boy

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE CBC WINNER OF THE 2023 LEACOCK MEDAL FOR HUMOUR Consummate storyteller and bestselling novelist Wayne Johnston reaches back into his past to bring us a sad, tender and at times extremely funny memoir of his Newfoundland boyhood. For six months between 1966 and 1967, Wayne Johnston and his family lived in a wreck of a house across from his grandparents in Goulds, Newfoundland. At seven, Wayne was sickly and skinny, unable to keep food down, plagued with insomnia and a relentless cough that no doctor could diagnose, though they had already removed his tonsils, adenoids and appendix. To the neighbours, he was known as “Jennie’s boy,” a backhanded salute to his tiny, ferocious mother, who felt judged for Wayne’s condition at the same time as worried he might never grow up. Unable to go to school, Wayne spent his days with his witty, religious, deeply eccentric maternal grandmother, Lucy. During these six months of Wayne’s childhood, he and Lucy faced two life-or-death crises, and only one of them lived to tell the tale. Jennie’s Boy is Wayne’s tribute to a family and a community that were simultaneously fiercely protective of him and fed up with having to make allowances for him. His boyhood was full of pain, yes, but also tenderness and Newfoundland wit. By that wit, and through love—often expressed in the most unloving ways—Wayne survived.

Category : Young Adult Fiction

Pages : 519
Book Description
First Love. Cursed Touch. Seventeen-year-old Jenna Getty has Charms—or at least, that’s what her mom calls the dark scars twisting up and down her arms. The scars that cause anyone Jenna touches to desire her. And then become obsessed. And then maybe try to kill her. She and her mother, the only person immune to her curse, live in isolation in their Saint Paul apartment. That way Jenna can’t hurt anyone. She learned the hard way that she’s better off alone. But when she discovers her mother is dying, she’ll do anything to find a cure—even if she has to follow signs sent by a mysterious glowing woman who appears out of thin air. And every sign points toward Coldwater High School—and the dreamy guy Jenna’s been watching from her apartment window. As she races to find a cure, she’s drawn dangerously close to her crush and to a quirky group of students who take her under their wing. To complicate matters, a man with Charms of his own begins to follow Jenna, and she realizes she’s mixed up in something larger than she’d guessed. With everyone closing in around her, she must figure out what’s really going on, or her Charms could destroy them all.
