Book excerpt: Melissa Bashardoust’s acclaimed debut novel Girls Made of Snow and Glass is “Snow White as it’s never been told before...a feminist fantasy fairy tale not to be missed” (BookPage)! “Utterly superb.” —ALA Booklist, starred review “Dark, fantastical, hauntingly evocative.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review “An empowering and progressive original retelling.” —SLJ, starred review Sixteen-year-old Mina is motherless, her magician father is vicious, and her silent heart has never beat with love for anyone—has never beat at all, in fact, but she’d always thought that fact normal. She never guessed that her father cut out her heart and replaced it with one of glass. When she moves to Whitespring Castle and sees its king for the first time, Mina forms a plan: win the king’s heart with her beauty, become queen, and finally know love. The only catch is that she’ll have to become a stepmother. Fifteen-year-old Lynet looks just like her late mother, and one day she discovers why: a magician created her out of snow in the dead queen’s image, at her father’s order. But despite being the dead queen made flesh, Lynet would rather be like her fierce and regal stepmother, Mina. She gets her wish when her father makes Lynet queen of the southern territories, displacing Mina. Now Mina is starting to look at Lynet with something like hatred, and Lynet must decide what to do—and who to be—to win back the only mother she’s ever known...or else defeat her once and for all. Entwining the stories of both Lynet and Mina in the past and present, Girls Made of Snow and Glass traces the relationship of two young women doomed to be rivals from the start. Only one can win all, while the other must lose everything—unless both can find a way to reshape themselves and their story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, you would think you have the ultimate complementation of Donald Goines, Zane, and the mild Terry McMillian. The book is about a family struggling to balance street life, love, and secrets that will eventually surface. The main thing is that when the truth is revealed, does it instantly destroy the family or will they slowly fall apart? The story begins with two brothers who are very close to each other. They are like twins but are also different in their own manner as well. The streets are steadily calling out to them, but so are their women. The women that they connect with slowly change some of their negative views on life to a more balanced and positive way. However, is it going to be too late for them? Will the women instead become more in tuned with the world of crime and violence than become someone who brings about change? Is it the beginning or the end of what they know life to be?

Download or read book Our lives with Humans written by Seeni and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-07-06 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story set initially in Copster Green, a hamlet, and latterly in Brockhall Village, Lancashire, England. It describes how six cats made their journey from home to home and finally settled down. Part 1 relates to Jet, Rhubarb, and Little from 1991 to 1995. Part 2 relates to Fresco, Litsey, and JJ from 1995 to 2012. In part 1, the story is written as experienced by Jet. In part 2, the story is written as experienced by Fresco. The story demonstrates how cats can sensitively perceive the actions of human beings. The writing makes its greatest contribution in enabling one to understand, in some way, the complex social settings and interactions between cats and people, which can make a difference to both their lives. The author’s wish is that Jet, Rhubarb, Little, Fresco, Litsey, and JJ will always be remembered with great affection and undying love.
Download or read book Run Free written by Teresa Ruiz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being raised in the sixties and knowing I stuck out from my frizzy hair and reddish-brown skin, I kept to myself. My family was not the Brady Bunch family; we were surrounded by violence. My father would beat our mother so much, and we had to witness the beatings most of my lives. After my father was sent away and after several moves and feeling we would finally have a normal life without the violence, my father would come back in the family. At first it would be calm, but within months the violence would come back. We never lived in a home for more than a year, so friends were not there. I was a loner throughout my child life. I learned to fight for blood at the age of seven, and as a teenager, I hated living at home. I ran away so much; I felt safer sleeping in someone's closet or in their cars than at home. If my father was not there beating or harassing my family, my brothers were in opposite gangs, so there were drive-by shootings at our home. I would come home from school with my frizzy hair and skinny body, looking so awkward from the girls from school. I stayed to myself. On the way home from school, I would walk up the street and see lowrider cars and Harley-Davidson choppers and smell of marijuana coming from the garage. I stayed to myself. After all the violence at home and my mother going through all the beatings, I made a promise to myself that I would not let it happen to me. I dropped out of school at tenth grade and got my first job and my first date. We were opposite from each other, but the romance was there, although he spoke no English and I spoke not a word of Spanish. My father was against the relationship from the beginning, but I dated him despite what my father said. I moved out at seventeen and was asked to go to Mexico for the weekend. I was warned not to go by my mother, but I still did. (I should have listened.) I was held there for nine months. The first month was of my choice, but the next eight months were not. I was not allowed to leave the ranch. When I took a chance, I was chased down and beaten within an inch of my life. Once I escaped and went back to California, I found out I was pregnant and someone told the father of my baby. He showed up, and I was advised by my mother and his aunt that the baby needed a father. I had no choice but to try to make it work. But the violence got worse. I refused to be a victim of violence, so with the help of the women's shelter and the police department, I learned how to escape the violence and make a living for my children. I'm hoping this book reaches other domestic abuse victims to show that you can have a violence-free life. But like they told me in the shelter, you have to make it work, and once you're on your way, walk forward, not backward. The shelter led me away to a better life. One thing I will always remember was that when I was only nineteen with two children, they said once you're on your own, you're the parent. You had a chance to be a teenager and chose to be an adult to have children so young; your children are the priority. That made me think I need to be strong. I knew what that meant: responsibility. I also noticed that once I was on my own and had my own apartment with my children, it was calm. I had my children on a schedule, and I was on a budget. I did want to date like other girls my age, but it was too early. I would always want to find someone that needed to find somewhere to stay with me. Every time I would try to help someone, it turned out to disrupt my home, so I decided that it's just my children and myself. Maybe I just did not trust anyone. I'm proud that I had the strength to pull through. I went back to high school and one year of college. Got out of the welfare system and started to raise my children violence-free. My nest is warm and full of songs and love. Sure, it's hard with bills, and I am always short with cash and have babies getting sick and cars breaking down and me losing a job and of course me gettin

Book Synopsis The Spirit Transcendent by : Mark F. Yama
Download or read book The Spirit Transcendent written by Mark F. Yama and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-04-10 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are we to make of direct spiritual experience? Of accounts of going to heaven or meeting angels? Traditional science would call these hallucinations or delusions. Clinical psychologist Dr. Mark Yama argues the opposite. Through interviews with his patients, he shows that underneath the visions and experiences there is a unifying spiritual reality apart from the material world. One of the stories recounted in this book is the experience of a woman who could see the future. In a spiritual transport, she was taken to heaven where truths were revealed to her that she later discovered were already written in Gnostic scripture. Another woman lived a life marked by a spiritual sensitivity that defied materialist explanation. After she passed away of cancer, she came to inhabit the consciousness of another of Dr. Yama's patients in the form of a benign possession. These stories, and many others, argue for a deeper reality that places spirituality on an equal footing with the material world.
