Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's first-time grandmothers are the youngest ever. At an average age of only 47, they're not the white-haired, cookie-scented matrons of yesteryear -- and please, don't call them "Granny." The Hip Grandma's Handbook resents is the perfect accessory for today's new grandma.

Book Synopsis The Brown County Chronicles of Gunther Flumm by : John Wm. Sisson
Download or read book The Brown County Chronicles of Gunther Flumm written by John Wm. Sisson and published by Lotus Petal Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brown County, Indiana is a hill encrusted, heavily forested jewel of Geography, which has retained a turn-of-the-century rural reputation. For over one hundred years it has harbored a major Midwest art colony that has thrived alongside the "local-rustics." Creative intellectual individuals live among commonsense, down-to-earth individuals; ironically a beloved combination from both sides of the coin to this day. These Gunther Flumm Chronicles while entirely fictious could have actually happened if anything in them was even close to reality, which of course they are not! However do not let that dissuade you from enjoying the mysterious mishaps that these yarns so inelegantly describe in the language of the Hoosier Hillbilly, Gunther Flumm. Each reader will find that each tale stands on its own complete with illustrations by John William Sisson. Just what was it that inspired Gunther? Was it an extra good batch of moonshine or a good dose of hickory from his wood fire? One thing does remain clear, actual factual fantasy has remained alive and unabated? It's also clear to me that you will enjoy this collection of County yarns.

She throws a rock at him, breaks a window, and he vanishes.

The two enemies, Anna and Alison, form an uneasy alliance to find out what is causing these manifestations. In trying, they are swept into another world. In a country in the other world, Rocdur, lives a boy named Tam, also an immigrant. Rocdur is ruled by a ruthless tyrant whose harsh laws make it a cruel place for its impoverished and suppressed immigrants. Tam manages to survive the difficult conditions only through his talent for story-telling. Anna discovers that she is the only person who can help a group of strangers - the young story-teller, a skilful horseman and a rebel warrior - in an ongoing battle to prevent the destruction of their world.

Download or read book A Daughter’S Duty Part 1 written by Linda D. Coker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-07-08 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Belinda Star is a highly decorated veteran of the United States Army. Her military background has created a woman adept in the art of battle, but even her specialized training and battlefield experiences could not prepare her to deal with the crimes committed by her own family. Crimes that not only were committed against the American public, but also against Belinda herself. In the midst of familial tension, Belinda must travel from Germany, where she lives with her active duty husband, back to the United States--back to a place and a family she left long ago. She knows that her mother has, once again, found herself in trouble with the law, but it is not until Belinda arrives that she realizes the extent of her mother's crimes and the secrets she has concealed. Despite the poor treatment Belinda has endured throughout her life at the hands of her own family, she finds herself alone in her efforts to save them from the debt they have created and the legal infractions they have committed. Violence. Alcoholism. Theft. Impersonation. The list of problems within Belinda's family is long, yet she remains steadfast in her commitment to them. Even when Belinda is the only family member who has surfaced to help, her family continues their lies and betrayal, causing Belinda to question her own pledges of allegiance to them time and time again. Belinda must remain the stoic and steadfast soldier she has always been to pull back the layers and layers of deceit and mystery her family has created over several decades. As Belinda uncovers the family secrets her mother will do anything to conceal, she begins to discover even more about her heritage and, consequently, even more about herself. Through her diligence and skill, Belinda not only finds a way to right the wrongs her family has committed, but she also learns a great deal about the true meaning of a daughter's duty.

Download or read book In Order to Live written by Yeonmi Park and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I am most grateful for two things: that I was born in North Korea, and that I escaped from North Korea.” - Yeonmi Park "One of the most harrowing stories I have ever heard - and one of the most inspiring." - The Bookseller “Park's remarkable and inspiring story shines a light on a country whose inhabitants live in misery beyond comprehension. Park's important memoir showcases the strength of the human spirit and one young woman's incredible determination to never be hungry again.” —Publishers Weekly In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea—and to freedom. Park confronts her past with a startling resilience. In spite of everything, she has never stopped being proud of where she is from, and never stopped striving for a better life. Indeed, today she is a human rights activist working determinedly to bring attention to the oppression taking place in her home country. Park’s testimony is heartbreaking and unimaginable, but never without hope. This is the human spirit at its most indomitable.

Languishing in a jail cell, Harriet has plenty of time to sift through the memories of the three generations of women who have preceded her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join us for the first book of the CADY WHIRLWIND THUNDER MYSTERIES Winner of the Historical Society of Michigan's book award for Children & Youth (2020) Winner of the Midwest Book Award for Young Adult Fiction (2020) Winner of the Upper Peninsula Notable Books award (2020) Cady, a 13-year-old girl of Native American heritage, has experienced major changes in the past year-her father's marriage to a younger woman, a new baby brother, and a move from Minnesota to Michigan where she attends a reservation school for the first time. One school day, Cady finds an eagle feather on the floor outside a classroom and reports it to the principal. When thanking her for this act of honor, he tells her that a mystery might soon appear in her life. Later, Cady discovers and antique Indian beaded necklace hidden under the floor of her bedroom closet. Is this the mystery the principal predicted might appear? She consults with elders who tell her it is her "job" to find out why. Helping her are her new friends Irish, John Ray and a talking blue jay. "I was enthralled by the story, its interesting characters, the mystery plot, the author's beautiful writing style spiced with wisdom and humor, and what I learned about tribal cultures and customs." -- Christine DeSmet, author of The Fudge Shop Mysteries "I LOVE IT. I could not put it down. I read the last few chapters slowly as possible the past few days because I was sad it was almost to the end of the book. I am looking forward to the next one." -- Faye DG Auginaush, from the White Earth Ojibwe in MN & Hannahville MI Potawatomi. "What a beautifully written story of a young Native American girl, Cady, and her search for love and answers. The author's descriptions and authentic dialogue will immerse the reader in Native American culture and history." -- Gregory L. Renz, author of Beneath the Flames "As the Director of the Crystal Falls District Community Library (MI), I highly recommend this book! It has mystery and adventure, with a hint of romance. I have bought this book for gifts, and it is just great. Ann Dallman can really write a tale for tween children that speaks to them on their level. Don't overthink it. Just put this in your cart now and buy it!" -- Evelyn Gathu "Cady is a beautifully drawn and very likeable character. Readers will feel lucky to have found Cady and accompanied her on a journey of self-discovery. Cady grows to appreciate how her people are much more in touch with the natural world, possess an ingrained sense of wonder, and a firm belief that nature in all its myriad forms communicates with them. Best of all they live in harmony with the natural world. And oh yes, this is a YA novel, but I defy anyone of any age to read a few pages and not become totally absorbed in Cady's life." -- Tom Powers, Michigan In Books Learn more at www.AnnDallman.com From Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com
