Book Description
Life just keeps getting more complicated for Annie Baker. Her sister Lizzie's pregnant and wants Annie to be her birth-partner - she's planning an active labour, in water, with lots of candles and music. Her partner Matt isn't too sure, although he's bought some new swimming trunks just in case. Annie's friend Leila has got a new man, Tor, and she's getting heavily into yoga, while Kate from the village has somehow ended up having an affair with her own ex-husband. And as for the men in Annie's own life, it just gets worse. Her seven-year-old son Charlie is now officially Pagan, and desperate for his own pet pheasant. Boss Barney is building a bit of a reputation for TV commercials involving stunts, so if she's not lurching around the North Sea in a trawler, she's stuck up a crane. Then there's Uncle Monty to keep an eye on, a retired mole-catcher who collects bric-a-brac. He's eighty-three and a few sandwiches short of a picnic, and has just threatened the Meals on Wheels lady with a shotgun and refuses to leave the farm where he's lived all his life. And as if all that wasn't difficult enough, Mack comes back from New York, just when Annie was beginning to think she might be able to cope without him ... For everyone who fell in love with Annie Baker and her Only Boy for Me, here's what happened next. And for anyone who's ever wondered how to combine motherhood, the country life and a career in town, and why pheasants make that weird clicking noise, this is essential reading.

Ohio

Pages : 222
Book Description
Dear reader, the first novel of this series is titled OHIO. And, maybe you are on your computer right now, trying to decide whether or not to purchase it. Maybe you are in a bookstore and holding it in your hands; you have studied its cover, you've already read the opening lines, and you've flipped to the middle and read something there. Maybe you have read the last paragraph. Maybe you have done the same with all three novels. Dear reader, the novels are not for you, unless you possess the desire to listen with all your heart to the words you will find in them. If this desire is yours, I, Jonathan Kensett, welcome you into a world I could not have known if I had not listened with all my heart, as well, that fateful evening when I had dinner with Abby Vredenburgh in Sunbury, Ohio. That night the real journey began for me. Dear reader, I would invite you to journey with me through OHIO, and then to continue the journey through IN THE DAYS OF CORONADO and TERRAM NOVAM. After you have read the first three there are more. NOWHERE, soon to be released is the story of a ghost town in Southeast Utah, but it is much more than just a story about a ghost town. ROSE OF SHARON 1896-1974, also soon to be released, is the story of a little town in Northern Ohio established in 1866 in the novel OHIO; it is the story of the town seen through the eyes of three generations of another family, and it too is much more than a story about a small town. And, the next novel in the series, THE SIX POINTS OF THE STAR, is still a shadowy sketch inside my mind. But, it can't remain a sketch for much longer. Sometimes I wish I had never gone to Ohio to observe that Civil War Battlefield Reenactment of the Battle of Second Bull Run and to write that series of articles for Stars and Stripes Magazine. Sometimes I wish I had not met Abby Vredenburgh, may he rest in peace. Sometimes I wish I had not gone to New Mexico and found what I found on the mesa. Sometimes I look into the mirror and wish so many things could have been different. I wish I would not have to think about certain things like war and death, like pain and loss and grief, and deception and betrayal. I wish life could be free of such things. I long for redemption and freedom from suffering. I long for a world where nothing is hidden because there is no reason to hide. And, I long for the day when this story is finished but the more I write the more I understand it can never be finished until... Jonathan Kensett was born in 1952 and spent his youth traveling and living in many, many places on planet earth. At age seventeen, he lied to get into the U.S. Army, was sent to Viet Nam and served in Company D, 1st Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, 1969-1970. After that, he went to Harvard and earned degrees in journalism and law. He has not practiced law, choosing instead to be a free-lance writer. He will always wonder if he made the right choice. Now that he is too old to change he might as well try to enjoy every day as much as possible. No one writes like him. No one.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
"An intimate, revealing portrait of Frank Sinatra-from the man closest to the famous singer during the last decade of his life. More than a hundred books have been written about legendary crooner and actor Frank Sinatra. Every detail of his life seems to captivate: his career, his romantic relationships, his personality, his businesses, his style. But a hard-to-pin-down quality has always clung to him-a certain elusiveness that emerges again and again in retrospective depictions. Until now. From Sinatra's closest confidant and an eventual member of his management team, Tony Oppedisano, comes an extraordinarily intimate look at the singing idol. Deep into the night, for more than two thousand nights, Frank and Tony would converse-about music, family, friends, great loves, achievements and successes, failures and disappointments, the lives they'd led, the lives they wished they'd led. In these full-disclosure conversations, Sinatra spoke of his close yet complex relationship with his father, his conflicts with record companies, his carousing in Vegas, his love affairs with some of the most beautiful women of his era, his triumphs on some of the world's biggest stages, his complicated relationships with his talented children, and, most important, his dedication to his craft. Toward the end, no one was closer to the singer than Oppedisano, who kept his own rooms at the Sinatra residences for many years, often brokered difficult conversations between family members, and held the superstar entertainer's hand when he drew his last breath. Featuring never-before-seen photos and offering startlingly fresh anecdotes and new revelations that center on some of the most famous people of the past fifty years-including Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Sam Giancana, Madonna, and Bono-Sinatra and Me pulls back the curtain to reveal a man whom history has, in many ways, gotten wrong"--
