Book excerpt: Christmas Clarity is a sweet, behind-the-scenes Christmas romance. What happens if a girl chooses to fall in love with a guy, but his brother steals her heart? In this modern-day arranged relationship, Clara Murphy is an assistant television producer who is convinced that falling in love is a choice. When she tries to persuade her boss to add a TV segment on choosing love at Christmas, she reluctantly gets cast in the spotlight. She agrees to be set up with the boss' nephew, Adam Warner, with the hope that they will both choose to fall in love. Set in a fictious Illinois suburb 30 miles west of Chicago, Clara is sent to a small town called Brookridge. Clara and Adam meet and get along, but they struggle with Murphy's Law moments as obstacles continue to get in the way of finding love.Life gets tangled when Clara gets to know Adam's brother, Brandon Warner. Despite being attracted to each other, Clara and Brandon must continue to work together because Brandon videotapes all of Clara and Adam's dates and does the editing of the project for the television show. Clara is torn about her feelings. To make matters worse, she wouldn't want to hurt Adam or Brandon and doesn't want to drive a wedge between the brothers. Yet, she wants to make her choosing love at Christmas plan work.The television show broadcasts the attempted love affair between Adam and Clara and all its flaws. It turns out the real love story is in the outtakes that are shared with the audience - the moments when Brandon and Clara start to fall in love with each other. How can this 'behind the scenes' love story be resolved with Clara and Adam's relationship in the forefront? It's difficult when you know what you want and who you love, but you can't do anything about it. Will Brandon and Clara be able to navigate the complexities of their relationship without hurting Adam or each other?

Book excerpt: "A delightful secondary romance adds to the fun in this upbeat romp that is touching, hilarious, and lightly dusted with seasonal charm." —Library Journal When Rachel loses her Hollywood dream job, a trip home for Christmas seems like a good idea. But she never expects to find a hunk from her past waiting under the mistletoe... About the book Red-hot stylist-to-the-stars Rachel Porter has it all. Well, sort of. Her luxury beach house is actually a loaner from her #1 client. And her cute Tesla Roadster? Well, that's just another job perk...hers to keep, right? But when Rachel catches her #1 client in bed with her boyfriend, she exacts her revenge by tricking her turncoat "frenemy" into committing fashion suicide on the red carpet—and promptly finds herself out of a job. And her house. Her car. Her life. With nowhere to turn, Rachel does the unthinkable: she goes home to Kismet, Michigan. For Reno Wright, picking up his neighbor's daughter from the airport for a holiday visit sounds like no big deal. But from the moment he spies Rachel in the airport, Reno knows he's in over his head. The girl Reno remembers from high school looks nothing like the glammed-out man-killer who walks off the plane. But for all her attitude, Rachel is really just a small-town girl with a heart too big for Hollywood. The temperature may be freezing, but the heat between Rachel and Reno is burning hot. Reno is falling hard fast...but will his holiday romance survive once the calendar turns? What people are saying... "Lisa Plumley once again gifts readers with a Yuletide story sure to put you in a holiday mood. This is vintage Plumley. She's created a cast of characters that are a bit eccentric, quirky and likeable and spun a story that will make you smile." —Lezlie Patterson, McClatchy-Tribune News Service "Home for the Holidays is a fun holiday romance—who doesn't love a good love story delivered by Santa? Plumley hits all of the right marks in telling a love story, sharing passion and inspiring us to be our best!" —Romance Reader at Heart (Four-Rose Read!) "Home For The Holidays is a bit of a modern day It’s A Wonderful Life. It’s romantic and fun and full of heartwarming moments!" —Joyfully Reviewed "Home for the Holidays has charm and warmth. Lisa Plumley captures much of the fun of the season, some of the heartache, but also all of the love that makes Christmas so wonderful. Sure, it has a holiday themed title, but this story is guaranteed to make you smile any time of the year." —Romance Junkies (4 blue ribbons rating) "Plenty of chuckles are on hand in this entertaining romp by Lisa Plumley. Get ready for the holidays and grab yourself a fun read you won’t want to miss!" —Romance Reviews Today "If you're in the mood for a fun-filled contemporary romance oozing with seasonal charm, appealing characters, and amusing moments, then Home for the Holidays is just what Santa ordered." —Bookloons "Home For The Holidays is a perfect way to get your holiday reading underway. Readers will definitely enjoy the tone and pace of this book, in addition to the funny, romantic and light-hearted spirit of the characters. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and suggest that you pick-up a copy too." —The Romance Readers Connection

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining explications of William Faulkner's novels and short stories with thematic analysis, Hyatt H. Waggoner works from the close reading of a specific work outward to its most general meanings and relationships. By this method he has made a significant contribution to the understanding of Faulkner's career and artistic achievement. Waggoner examines both better and lesser-known works, which yield valuable insights into Faulkner's development when treated in relation to his whole body of work. The author also addresses the major themes which emerge from critical analyses of individual works: Faulkner's uneasy relationship with his Christian background and his unchanging conception of the role of the artist related to his changing practice as a writer. Waggoner concludes that Faulkner's artistic career reflects a creatively productive, but tortured and ambiguous, relationship with his community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas is a time of celebration, rich with ritual and detail. But more than just a season for angels and wrapping paper, Christmas has its own heritage which intersects in fascinating ways with human history and human beliefs, behaviors, and experiences. In this book of fifty Christmas questions, Joseph Walsh gives us the details behind Christmas traditions, such as Santa's origin and appearance, the story of Rudolph, holiday decorations and greenery, the nativity, Christmas tales, celebrations and rituals, gift-giving, and card-sending. He links contemporary practices and historical tradition, explaining why, for instance, we kiss under the mistletoe, and describing the time when Christmas was responsible for a truce in World War I. In this illustrated book, readers will find answers to questions they've often asked and some they've never thought about.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For poets, priests, and politicians--and especially ordinary Germans--in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the image of the loving nuclear family gathered around the Christmas tree symbolized the unity of the nation at large. German Christmas was supposedly organic, a product of the winter solstice rituals of pagan "Teutonic" tribes, the celebration of the birth of Jesus, and the age-old customs that defined German character. Yet, as Joe Perry argues, Germans also used these annual celebrations to contest the deepest values that held the German community together: faith, family, and love, certainly, but also civic responsibility, material prosperity, and national belonging. This richly illustrated volume explores the invention, evolution, and politicization of Germany's favorite national holiday. According to Perry, Christmas played a crucial role in public politics, as revealed in the militarization of "War Christmas" during World War I and World War II, the Nazification of Christmas by the Third Reich, and the political manipulation of Christmas during the Cold War. Perry offers a close analysis of the impact of consumer culture on popular celebration and the conflicts created as religious, commercial, and political authorities sought to control the holiday's meaning. By unpacking the intimate links between domestic celebration, popular piety, consumer desires, and political ideology, Perry concludes that family festivity was central in the making and remaking of public national identities.

Book excerpt: What Makes an Ordinary Life Extraordinary? Me and Mary tells the story of Mary Moore, a woman of remarkable grace and courage, and the life lessons she both learned and passed on to the grandson she raised. It’s about how she and the family she built gave a little boy love powerful enough to see him through subsequent years plagued by violence, poverty, and almost unimaginable adversity. And it's about how she accomplished this in late 60s and 70s Birmingham—at that time, the most racially oppressive city in America. Told through the eyes of that grandson, we see Mary as the strong matriarch who refused to be crushed by the indignities of her world, one where being female and Negro, poor and Southern, the daughter of sharecroppers and orphaned, were all counted against her, all in a culture ruled by segregation during the day and where the KKK roamed at night. Still, she’d overcome--never allowing herself to be broken or ever ceasing to believe the best in humanity. And throughout her life, in a million small, quiet ways, she’d endeavor to pass those virtues of faith and fortitude on. Mary's story is that of a Southern domestic. Her daily radius was less than five miles, and her role as pastor's wife and mother, almost entirely behind the scenes. Still, the ripple effects of her life would touch everything, from the Civil Rights movement to race relations, from the AIDS epidemic to the election of the first African American president. As a result, her life reminds us of our immense power—that each of us, no matter who society tries to tell us that we are, has it within us to shape the fate of the world itself.

Book excerpt: Christmas is our most beloved holiday. No other holiday is so richly decorated, seasoned by joy, and trumpeted with music. It is so big it must be celebrated in a variety of traditions. The Christmas Stories is a collection of twenty pieces that explore these traditions, sometimes with humor. The stories were written and read aloud by the author, one each year, at an annual advent worship service at St Stephen Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, to not only entertain but to inspire readers and listeners to find their own Christmas stories to share. The stories in The Christmas Stories are a mix of fact and fiction but, regardless, address certain truths about Christmas we never question. For example, we know that every year we go home for Christmas, even if its just a journey of the heart, and that children agonize having to wait one slow day at a time for Christmas to arrive, while adults embrace the wait and even give it a name, advent. And that even secularists celebrate the holiday as the highest altar of peace, love, and joy. The Christmas Stories is meant not only to entertain but to inspire readers to find their own stories to share about this most beloved season.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern Christmas was made by the Victorians and rooted in their belief in commerce, family and religion. Their rituals and traditions persist to the present day but the festival has also been changed by growing affluence, shifting family structures, greater expectations of happiness and material comfort, technological developments and falling religious belief. Christmas became a battleground for arguments over consumerism, holiday entitlements, social obligations, communal behaviour and the influence of church, state and media. Even in private, it encouraged reflection on social change and the march of time. Amongst those unhappy at the state of the world or their own lives, Christmas could induce much cynicism and even loathing but for a quieter majority it was a happy time, a moment of a joy in a sometimes difficult world that made the festival more than just an integral feature of the calendar: Christmas was one of British culture's emotional high points. Moreover, it was also a testimony to the enduring importance of family, shared values and a common culture in the UK. Martin Johnes shows how Christmas and its traditions have been lived, adapted and thought about in Britain since 1914. Christmas and the British is about the festival's social, cultural and economic functions, and its often forgotten status as both the most unusual and important day of the year
