Still Lost
Author: Steve Rogers
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 1682358348
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Tom Ryan Jr. is locked up in the Alzheimer’s Unit of Peaceful Harbor Nursing Home. His father, Tom Ryan Sr., died on the 8-by-10-foot Astro Turf in the recreation room of the same nursing home. Sadly, Tom Sr. passed along the Alzheimer’s gene to his son, who also wheels himself to that very same plastic green turf every day, as he goes through the identical transformation his father did. Tom Jr. believes his only lucid thoughts about people, places, and stories are about his life on the golf course. Still Lost is a story filled with sarcasm, yet at the same time it is tragic, dark, and redemptive. It tells of the lonely ride taken by the Alzheimer’s-afflicted narrator. The author wrote this novel as a sequel to Lost in Love Grass, published in 2010. He has also written a trilogy of children’s books: Bogey the Wonder Squirrel, Dogs Can Fly, and The Miracle of Helen the Rabbit.

Vespertine
Author: Margaret Rogerson
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1534477136
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
An international bestseller! From the New York Times bestselling author of Sorcery of Thorns and An Enchantment of Ravens comes a thrilling, “dark coming-of-age adventure” (Culturess) about a teen girl with mythic abilities who must defend her world against restless spirits of the dead. The spirits of the dead do not rest. Artemisia is training to be a Gray Sister, a nun who cleanses the bodies of the deceased so that their souls can pass on; otherwise, they will rise as ravenous, hungry spirits. She would rather deal with the dead than the living, who whisper about her scarred hands and troubled past. When her convent is attacked by possessed soldiers, Artemisia defends it by awakening an ancient spirit bound to a saint’s relic. It is a revenant, a malevolent being whose extraordinary power almost consumes her—but death has come, and only a vespertine, a priestess trained to wield a high relic, has any chance of stopping it. With all knowledge of vespertines lost to time, Artemisia turns to the last remaining expert for help: the revenant itself. As she unravels a sinister mystery of saints, secrets, and dark magic, Artemisia discovers that facing this hidden evil might require her to betray everything she believes—if the revenant doesn’t betray her first.

This biography of Lady Thatcher relates in warm detail the life of Margaret Thatcher, her achievements as British Prime Minister, and her life since retirement. Written in a vigorous, no-nonsense style, Lady Thatcher provides a succinct portrait of the Iron Lady, illustrating what the terms OC ThatcheriteOCO and OC ThatcherismOCO really mean.

The body of the text provides a chronological, strongly narrative treatment of ThatcherOCOs life, from childhood through to current times. John Blundell has been one of the most effective champions of the free- enterprise economic model which has delivered progress and prosperity around the world.
