Long-haired Bradley Garrett is a rodeo champion. Known as a sexy cowboy, he has never had a problem getting women. In fact he has known many, but not usually for more than one night. Growing up with two older brothers and one younger sister, Brad always knew he was the black sheep of the family. Working the ranch, breaking and boarding horses has left him tired and lonely. His older brothers have already found love, but Brad knows love is not in the cards for him. If he can't have Sarah, he doesn't want anyone, and he knows in his heart that he's not good enough for her. Brad has a secret. He is an alcoholic that drinks to forget his loneliness, and until the night he accidently overdoses with pain pills and alcohol, his family has no idea just how bad his problem is. Brad was raised a Christian, but has long since tucked his faith away. Will the faith and love in God he once had be enough to bring him back before it's too late? No sin is too great for God, for He is always waiting for you to call on Him.

The First Dazzling Chill of Winter
Author: Nicholas Hagger
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 1780997116
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 537
Book Description
Nicholas Hagger’s Collected Stories covered five volumes containing 1,001 very short stories detailing five decades (from the 1960s to the 2000s) in the life of Philip Rawley, whose demise was misleadingly announced at the end of the fifth volume. This sixth volume contains 201 stories and deals with the chill of winter, impending old age. These mini-stores present a wide range of characters, and their follies and flaws. They offer a complete literary experience in a page or two, and their combination of opposites derives its inspiration from the 17th century: Dr Johnson’s description in his ‘Life of Cowley’ of the wit of the Metaphysical poets as “a combination of dissimilar images” in which “the most heterogeneous ideas are yoked by violence together”. They are verbal paintings that present an image in action and reveal a poet’s eye for significant detail. Hagger’s stories are innovatory in their brevity. They are imagistic, economical and vivid, and cumulatively reflect the Age. They are ideal for short concentration spans: reading on journeys or in bed. Individual stories drop into the consciousness like a stone into a well, leaving the mind to reflect on the ripples. These imaginative stories in clean prose make excellent reading and contain memorable images and studies of character.
