Book Description
Katie's first love was writing poetry. Katie's second love was Matt. She quit her previous job to pursue her passion for writing, but with thoughts of assuming her work wasn't good enough, she gave up and began a new job at the cafe in town. This is where she meets a regular customer named Brayden, who she finds out had a recent tragic event that later becomes a story she can relate to herself. After hearing his story, it causes her to appreciate even more that she has Matt, and it also begins to give her some inspiration to write again. Katie and Matt decide on their tenth anniversary of being together that they want to finally get married. They never wanted to be pressured into getting married, especially by Katie's parents. After Matt suggests eloping, Katie agrees that it would be for the best, and this causes even more tension between Katie and her mother. Only a month after tying the knot, a devastating accident happens that takes Matt's life. This turns Katie's world completely upside down. She stops writing again, quits her job at the cafe, closes herself off, and is lost and lonely. She was always convinced that if anything were to ever happen to Matt, that she would never be able to love someone else again. After reconnecting with Brayden months later, those doubts seem to change. Can Katie find the motivation and inspiration to write again and to find a way to rebuild the long-lost relationship with her family? Will she be able to open her heart up again to find love after him, possibly with Brayden? Or will she remain to stay true to Matt the rest of her life and continue to be alone?

The Revelation of Angelic Creation
Author: Joseph R. Forman
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 161579848X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Move over Augustine! Look out Aquinas! This is the first exegetical work on day one of Genesis to agree with all Scripture. With the profound simplicity of a layman yet the penetrating density of a mystic, this text is a fountain of Scriptural revelation to guide both heart and mind. Unparalleled, "The Revelation of Angelic Creation" for the first time draws back the veil on "what" Wisdom is and its composite origin (the first hypostasis); the angelic creation: how it came to be and its composite nature; the "when," "how," and "why" of the angelic rebellion and fall, along with the restructuring of the unseen cosmos in the aftermath of said rebellion. Also, for good measure, the two-yes two!-gardens of Eden will be exposed. This work will set new theological precedence in all these areas and much more. Scriptural discourse is now forever altered. That which was spoken in the darkness of pre-creation, finally, is brought to light. Joe is the run-of-the-mill regular kind of guy who friends and acquaintances have called a prophet. Born and raised in southern California, his employment background consists of Production Control, Sales, Painting Contracting and a stint as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor. His hobbies include Bonsai, Koi, and stained-glass. Marital Status: still pursuing Sophia (Wisdom).

Hidden Faces
Author: Salvador Dali
Publisher: Pushkin Press Classics
ISBN: 1805330551
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
The only novel by the twentieth century's most acclaimed surrealist painter, a richly visual depiction of a group of eccentric aristocrats in the years preceding World War II “The book is so full of visual invention, so witty, so charged with an almost Dickensian energy that it's difficult not to accept its author's own arrogant evaluation of himself as a genius.” — Observer In swirling, surreal prose, the iconic artist Salvador Dalí portrays the intrigues and love affairs of a group of eccentric aristocrats who, in their luxury and extravagance, symbolize decadent Europe in the 1930s. In the shadow of encroaching war, their tangled lives provide a thrilling vehicle for Dalí's uniquely spirited imagination and artistic vision. Hidden Faces beckons readers to enter the bizarre world already familiar to us from Dali's paintings. The story unfolds in vividly visual terms, beginning in the Paris riots of February 1934. The journey leading to the closing days of the Second World War constitutes a brilliant and dramatic vehicle for Dali's unique vision. “Start the first page and you are in the presence of an old-fashioned baroque novel, intelligent, extravagant, as photographically precise as his paintings but not so silly ... Dali notices everything ...” — Guardian

Author: Katherine Scott Crawford
Publisher: Bell Bridge Books
ISBN: 161194192X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
"A glorious debut from a gifted author." - Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of Big Stone Gap and The Shoemaker's Wife On the edge of the wilderness, her adventure began. "Keowee Valley is a terrific first novel by Katherine Scott Crawford--a name that should be remembered. She has a lovely prose style, a great sense of both humor and history, and she tells about a time in South Carolina that I never even imagined." --Pat Conroy, bestselling author of The Prince of Tides and South of Broad. She journeyed into the wilderness to find a kidnapped relative. She stayed to build a new life filled with adventure, danger, and passion. Spring, 1768. The Southern frontier is a treacherous wilderness inhabited by the powerful Cherokee people. In Charlestown, South Carolina, twenty-five-year-old Quincy MacFadden receives news from beyond the grave: her cousin, a man she'd believed long dead, is alive--held captive by the Shawnee Indians. Unmarried, bookish, and plagued by visions of the future, Quinn is a woman out of place . . . and this is the opportunity for which she's been longing. Determined to save two lives, her cousin's and her own, Quinn travels the rugged Cherokee Path into the South Carolina Blue Ridge. But in order to rescue her cousin, Quinn must trust an enigmatic half-Cherokee tracker whose loyalties may lie elsewhere. As translator to the British army, Jack Wolf walks a perilous line between a King he hates and a homeland he loves. When Jack is ordered to negotiate for Indian loyalty in the Revolution to come, the pair must decide: obey the Crown, or commit treason . . . Katherine Scott Crawford was born and raised in the blue hills of the South Carolina Upcountry, the history and setting of which inspired Keowee Valley. Winner of a North Carolina Arts Award, she is a former newspaper reporter and outdoor educator, a college English teacher, and an avid hiker. She lives with her family in the mountains of Western North Carolina, where she tries to resist the siren call of her passport as she works on her next novel.
