Download or read book Firefly Lane written by Kristin Hannah and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2008-02-05 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah comes a powerful novel of love, loss, and the magic of friendship. . . . now a #1 Netflix series! In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all---beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be: Kate, doomed to be forever uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped in glamour and mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her. They make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become TullyandKate. Inseparable. So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel. Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest, Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of two women and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives. From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television news that captivates her. She will follow her own blind ambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . . and loneliness. Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn't know is how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how she'll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she'll envy her famous best friend. . . . For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship---jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It's about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you---and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you'll never forget . . . one you'll want to pass on to your best friend.

Book excerpt: "Frank Ormsby's new collection travels among places strange and familiar: from the shaping memories of an up bringing in rural County Fermanagh, to a Belfast reinventing itself in a new century and the exhilarating novelty of America." "In the first part of Fireflies Ormsby explores the past and vibrant present of an area of New York State which he has visited for the past twelve years. It remains to him as elusive as the 'fugitive selves' of the fireflies of the title. The latter part of the book engages with the poet's experience of his native Northern Ireland - the sour legacy of the Troubles, the dynamics of a community extending and remaking itself." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: Finalist for the National Book Award When Lonnie was seven years old, his parents died in a fire. Now he's eleven, and he still misses them terribly. And he misses his little sister, Lili, who was put into a different foster home because "not a lot of people want boys-not foster boys that ain't babies." But Lonnie hasn't given up. His foster mother, Miss Edna, is growing on him. She's already raised two sons and she seems to know what makes them tick. And his teacher, Ms. Marcus, is showing him ways to put his jumbled feelings on paper. Told entirely through Lonnie's poetry, we see his heartbreak over his lost family, his thoughtful perspective on the world around him, and most of all his love for Lili and his determination to one day put at least half of their family back together. Jacqueline Woodson's poignant story of love, loss, and hope is lyrically written and enormously accessible.

Download or read book Firefly! written by Jacqueline Lavalle and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2023-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Firefly!" is a collection of poems Ms. Lavalle has accumulated over many years. The poems have been living in plastic bins, and desk drawers, and as the author notes "sometimes even in my soul, lying silently in my heart of hearts." In a way they are a reflection of her life, becoming an autobiography of sorts. The poem subjects go from warm, comforting verses to exciting, thrilling constructions of poetic inspirations, to sad moving commentaries on life's travails. This volume succeeds in bringing her poetry into the sunlight. We point the reader to the book's introduction, Ms. Lavalle telling of her inspirations and the origin of her ideas and who and what influenced her. There is no particular sequence in the book, but each verse stands alone, having made its point or established its message, all the while treating the viewer to a smorgasbord of ideas and stories, some loud and others just a whisper; still others farcical by nature, as in . . . My June 2023 UNbirthday So for my birthday I made a cake But the wishes made were an utter fake! Cuz when we looked all over and around, For love or money, no candles were found. The poems depict a range of emotions, touching on music, love, sadness, family, forgotten life experiences; fragments from overheard conversations, amazingly recovered from her insatiable memory. The book includes poems that will likely elicit any number of feelings depending on the reader's sensitivities. One in particular tells of her accident while crossing a City street, "June 12, 1991." Sure to stimulate our memory chords is "The Carousel Of Forgotten Dreams." Included are several lighthearted verses directed at the young at heart, texts that will pique the memories of all, adults and children alike. These include "Asparagus," "Barley and Beans" and "Lolly Pop." Ms. Lavalle is an avid Afro-Cuban drummer and that vocation has led her to embrace the world of latin music. This talent is evident in several poems that are drawn from her experiences performing with musicians on the professional circuit. One in particular, "El Bongosero" includes a memorial to a drummer since passed and his grandson José, and a more personal verse, "Drums On My Ceiling." As a librarian in New York City she has been exposed to a wide cross-section of the populace, from the poor to the wealthy and this has given her the vision to write poems like "We Are The City" and "Park Avenue Mansion, Number 515." Jackie writes of her experience working in a Cleveland steel plant (in 1974 Jackie was the first woman to be hired since World War II) is dramatically depicted with "Night Shift in Cleveland" and the heart-breaking saga of a young Black man's tragic death is captured in "Tyre Nichols." Mother Nature makes a lilting appearance in "An Ant," "Autumn," "Summer," "Dandelions" and "Palm Trees." With summer on the horizon comes a Spring exchange as two women gaze out their kitchen window in "Rosie's Cardinal-- A Conversation in Milford." For the bar scene, "An Ode To Two Unfinished Glasses of Guiness" and "In The Main There's Champagne"; racetrack cognoscenti can relate to "Comin' Round The Bend" and "Try Your Luck At Saratoga Or Do You Know Where Your Horse Was Last Night?" Romantics will enjoy "Rosarita Beach." And finally, Jackie tells a true fish story, replete with nostalgia and friendship: "Carpetti from Lake Erie" Carpetti was carp who lived in old Lake Erie; And every summer night he'd swim the lake to see me. One day while he was swimming, he met the ideal mate. Now with love he's brimming and doesn't need a date. Of course the books' namesake "Firefly, Firefly" is charming in its own right. The book includes interesting text about the life of fireflies, colorful insects that have no doubt been a part of our childhood beginnings.

Book excerpt: Firefly celebrates in poetry the land and country of Bangladesh, with all its beauty and flaws. He calls on the country to give itself a story of honor, respect and celebration, and to build and strengthen its culture and identity. He examines everything from the beauty of its landscape and its six seasons to the ugliness of its politics, from its sport to its religious life, from its cuisine to its wildlife. He takes pleasure in its customs and traditions, and examines such questions as leadership and freedom, all with the idea of building on the idea of what Bangladesh is perceived to be by its people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A poet celebrates the wonders of nature in a collection of essays that could almost serve as a coming-of-age memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews As a child, Nezhukumatathil called many places home: the grounds of a Kansas mental institution, where her Filipina mother was a doctor; the open skies and tall mountains of Arizona, where she hiked with her Indian father; and the chillier climes of western New York and Ohio. But no matter where she was transplanted—no matter how awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape—she was able to turn to our world’s fierce and funny creatures for guidance. “What the peacock can do,” she tells us, “is remind you of a home you will run away from and run back to all your life.” The axolotl teaches us to smile, even in the face of unkindness; the touch-me-not plant shows us how to shake off unwanted advances; the narwhal demonstrates how to survive in hostile environments. Even in the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship. For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we are curious enough to look past the distractions in order to fully appreciate the world’s gifts. Warm, lyrical, and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Nakamura, World of Wonders is a book of sustenance and joy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I firmly believe that all people are poets; also I think that most poets never write for anyone but themselves. Writing poetry will save a bright mind a fortune, for you will never need a therapist when you write from your heart. The work is highly personal, emotional, and sinks deep into the very essence of the soul of the writer. That being said, I hope that you read and enjoy Fireflies From Orion, this being a selection composed of over fifty years of my writing prose. There are sad poems, happy poems, spiritual writings, emotion-evoking words...as all poetry should be. Fireflies is poetry truly from the heart, not written to appease the strictest school of composition, not please those with whom iambic pentameter is a requirement along with every line to rhyme....you will not find that in Fireflies. You will find raw poetry, prose of both regular and irregular rhythm, words that hopefully will paint pictures and evoke memories in your mind from times long ago, now gone
