Book Synopsis Bonnie Duffy's Journey by : D. C. Townsend
Download or read book Bonnie Duffy's Journey written by D. C. Townsend and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bonnie, a naive and content twelve-year-old girl, had the life she knew tragically destroyed. Everything familiar was taken from her, except a few letters from a mysterious grandfather she had never met. Orphaned, she was placed into oppressive child labor. Bonnie took her anger, fears, and feelings of rejection, isolation, and hopelessness, converting them into brazen, naive, misguided determination. She was inspired by the novels of Twain, Stevenson, and Cooper. Bonnie prepared herself with the questionable knowledge she had gleaned from the pages of the great authors' works. In 1886, twelve-year-old Bonnie fled her bondage and sets out on an implausible quest to find her grandfather. How far will Bonnie's determination take her? The author endeavored to present historical facts and historical people blended into an adventurous fictional story. The author tried to present a realistic glimpse into the late nineteenth century. It is often hard to recognize fact from fiction.
Book Synopsis Westminster Avenue by : Wilus J. Arnold
Download or read book Westminster Avenue written by Wilus J. Arnold and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the history of human beings, the question of love has always posed a problem among different racial groups around the world. But in spite of attempts to prevent such unions, human beings continue to fall in love with people outside their race, knowing they will be confronted by serious ramificationseven death! Westminster Avenue is a novel that examines love between different ethnic couples in America during most of the twentieth century. As is the case in real life, love is the most powerful human emotion human beings experience, spanning both joy and sorrow! No one has yet figured out why people fall in love with each other. The truth is, it can be a number of reasons, including the often quoted saying Opposites attract! But this author suspects it runs much deeper than that. Whatever it is, love affects all human beings emotionally from the pinnacle of happiness to the depth of despair. Westminster Avenue examines interracial love in America in spite of the fact this culture vehemently opposes it. Since love is ubiquitous, the author expands this novel beyond the main couple in this book to include other couples who also fall in love despite racial differences. Men and women continue to seek love even after experiencing painful relationships with a previous partner. Love is the driving force in our lives, and the truth is, people never know where they will find it. Most human beings cannot really explain what love really is, but they know they can feel it when it happens to them. That is the essence of this novel, along with the song Love Will Find a Way!

Download or read book Educated Youth written by Ye Xin and published by Giramondo Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Cultural Revolution over 14 million Chinese high school graduates were sent from the cities to live and work in the countryside. They were known as zhiqing – ‘educated youth’. They fell in love, married, had children. In the late 1970s the policy changed and they were allowed to return, but not their families. Many jumped at the opportunity, leaving spouses and children behind. Ten years later the children, now teenagers, began to turn up in the cities, looking for their parents. Educated Youth follows five such children, who have travelled across China from a province in the south west to Shanghai in the east, only to discover that their mothers and fathers have remarried, and have new families, in which there is no room for them. Their reappearance brings out the worst in the parents – their duplicity, greed and self-interest – and the best too, as they struggle to come to terms with their sense of love and duty.

Book excerpt: While many Australian teenagers have dreamed of joining a travelling circus, Norma Brophy wanted to run away from it. As a born and bred 'show person', she adored her early years on the road, running wild in town after town with her fellow little 'showies'. But growing up backstage of a famed travelling show wasn't all fun and games. At 15, Norma fled the circus and her father's violent ways, only to be drawn back by another formidable force - love. In this vibrant, uproarious and poignant memoir, multi-talented showbiz matriarch Norma Brophy comes out of retirement to reveal a world of interest to many but understood by few. From a time before cars to the hardscrabble Depression years, in and out of war time and across the golden era of Hollywood-tinged showmanship, right up to today, Norma paints a vivid picture of Australian show culture. With authority and candour, Norma plays ringmaster to a cavalcade of characters and places that have helped form not only the story of her own record-breaking, death-defying family, but also that of countless other travelling show people, circus and rodeo folk whose exploits and ingenuity will leave you agog.

Download or read book Soul of the South written by Myrlen Britt and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book, Soul of the South, includes thirty short stories ranging from general fiction; military, everyday drama, to children’s stories some of which use animal characters. My premier story ‘The Pecan Tree’ is a fictionalized account of a soldier in General Andrew “Old Hickory” Jackson’s army returning home from the Battle of New Orleans through west Tennessee in 1815. There has stood a huge pecan tree in Natchez Trace State Park for many years supposedly planted by a soldier of the returning army. It was reputed to be the largest and oldest pecan tree in America. Sadly, a few years ago one of our many tornadoes destroyed it. There is another story I read as a boy that stated a sixteen year old volunteer with the militia Jackson headed in his many Indian wars refused his sergeants order to pick up biscuit crumbs that he had thrown on the ground in front of his tent. Because of the soldier’s refusal Old Hickory had him shot for insubordination. Using these two events I have woven a story of a ghost that made his presence known at various times during the years following the army’s trek through the forest that became Henderson County, Tennessee. The story basically follows the Beacum family that settled the land where the boy was buried with a pecan in his pocket that grew into the large tree. The family settled there during the 1830’s and the last surviving member died in the 1930’s. The family farm is offered for back taxes and is purchased by a young teacher who has a wife and son. The ghost continues his visits and only after the teacher enlists in the army and survives a Japanese prison camp does the story come to an end when he returns home. There is a story of Billy the Kid who surfaces on a farm in west Tennessee when he is an old man and adds a fictional account of how his death and burial were staged by the man who, history says killed him; sheriff Pat Garrett. I try to include a moral in each of the children’s stories as well as making them interesting.
Download or read book Blackjacks written by Tony Illman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on our lives. It starts very briefly in the United Kingdom and quickly moves to the Eastern Highland of Rhodesia. It moves through our childhood while were living in the eastern border areas, Umtali, Sabi Tanganda, and Chipinga. As we pass through our teenage years and become adults, it travels with us to Western Australia and then back to Chipinga. We share the lives of others as the Rhodesian Bush War escalates in what was a quiet and idyllic country town to one of the most dangerous and deadly districts in Rhodesia. Then the books deals with our final move back to Western Australia and our struggle to once again build a life for our children and ourselves. To most people, this may seem to be an unusual life, but to a Rhodesian, it would be considered pretty much the same story as many other families. Although it is our story, there are many stories told by others who have shared our way of life. It is about love, hate, and humor. It is about determination and desperation. It is about life and death and friendship and community spirit. Most of all, I hope it is a monument to those who died or were seriously injured, physically or mentally, black or white. It is also a salute to those incredible farmers, the Rhodesian armed forces, and those who worked in the rural areas during those troubled times. For me personally, writing this book has been a huge emotional journey.
Download or read book Oil! written by Upton Sinclair and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Passionate. . . . [The] lively satirical account of capitalist greed . . . and socialist struggle,” that inspired the film There Will Be Blood (The Guardian). From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Jungle, a novel set against the backdrop of the political corruption fueling the California oil industry during the Harding administration. Oil! is a tale of the capitalist insatiability that comes between an oil baron and his son, whose growing sympathies with the labor movement and socialist ideals fuels the riff between them. Peopled with politicians, financial investors, oil magnates, a Hollywood star, and a crusading evangelist, Oil! is also a spirited social commentary on the class struggle at the heart of the divide in post–World War I America. Written by an author heralded for his compelling narratives exploring themes of social justice, Oil! is as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1927. “A marvelous panorama of Southern California life. It is storytelling with an edge on it.” —The New Republic “A tremendous piece of work.” —The Nation
