Book excerpt: Tales of Conflict and Rediscovery Three divergent protagonists fight to surmount conflicts in their own ways. Each makes personal choices in the face of cultural forces and discovers foundational insights about themselves as memories of the past resurface to guide them on their journeys forward. Christmas 1968 When Janice finds herself unhappy in her picture-perfect marriage, she begins questioning the heavy social expectations set upon her. As she takes steps to create a life she truly wants for herself, she becomes a leader of dangerous antiwar protests and faces uncertainty over whether her Iowa farm family will still support her. The Fighters A single parent and recent divorcee, Pat struggles to balance family priorities and work while he vies for the county administrator job. Under fire from an unfounded smear campaign, he discovers rampant political corruption and sexual harassment as he fights to clear his name and expose his powerful rivals. A Father’s Heir Dana, the son of an Iranian immigrant, is torn over his father’s dying request to become involved in the family business. Uncertain of his father’s true intent, he grows even more wary when he faces threats of financial failure and violence from his father’s sinister business partner, who has complex ties to the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More so than any war in history, World War II was a woman’s war. Women, motivated by patriotism, the opportunity for new experiences, and the desire to serve, participated widely in the global conflict. Within the Allied countries, women of all ages proved to be invaluable in the fight for victory. Rosie the Riveter became the most enduring image of women’s involvement in World War II. What Rosie represented, however, is only a small portion of a complex story. As wartime production workers, enlistees in auxiliary military units, members of voluntary organizations or resistance groups, wives and mothers on the home front, journalists, and USO performers, American women found ways to challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes. Beyond Rosie offers readers an opportunity to see the numerous contributions they made to the fight against the Axis powers and how American women’s roles changed during the war. The primary documents (newspapers, propaganda posters, cartoons, excerpts from oral histories and memoirs, speeches, photographs, and editorials) collected here represent cultural, political, economic, and social perspectives on the diverse roles women played during World War II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remembering Rosie is about Block's childhood on a Wisconsin dairy farm in the mid-twentieth century. Growing up on the homestead with her parents and siblings was often idyllic. Still, it never stopped Block from dreaming of making a different life for herself despite many obstacles she'd face in trying to leave the land her German great-grandparents settled in the 1880s.Block and her siblings experienced long hours of tedious and dangerous work. Educational opportunities were limited, and the Ludwig children's one-room school had poorly trained teachers and few books. There was no expectation of girls going on to higher education. Block's observations of her depressive mother, the drudgery of farm life, and the short, cruel lives of farm animals were driving forces that made her take a path less followed. During a time when going against the grain was difficult, Block's restlessness and desire to see a world outside her sheltered community catapulted her into a life that the blue-eyed, blond-haired farm girl never could have imagined.

Book excerpt: "Wickedly funny." —Kirkus A witty, beloved novel of heart and heartland, Farm Fatale skewers the culture clash of city vs. country in the snappy, observant style that made Wendy Holden famous. Cash-strapped Rosie and her boyfriend Mark are city folk longing for a country cottage. Rampant nouveaux riches Samantha and Guy are also searching for rustic bliss—in the biggest mansion money can buy. The village of Eight Mile Bottom seems quiet enough, despite a nosy postman, a reclusive rock star, a glamorous Bond Girl, and a ghost with a knife in its back. But there are unexpected thrills in the hills, and Rosie is rapidly discovering that country life isn't so simple after all. "This lighthearted romp, surprisingly unpredictable, smart, and fun, is refreshing fare readers can turn to." —Publishers Weekly "Every character here is deliciously ridiculous, and every rustic detail a grand satirical opportunity." —Baltimore Sun "Wendy Holden writes with delicious verve and energy." —Mail on Sunday

Book excerpt: ** 'Wickedly funny, astute and brilliantly, terribly relatable... I could not put it down' – LAURA KAY ** ** ‘Sexy, surprising, witty and beautifully written... A complete delight from start to finish’ – ANDREA BARTZ ** Newlywed Rosie has grown disenchanted with NYC. Inspired by Instagram ads, she starts thirsting for a rural life upstate – one full of beauty and simplicity. Willing to do anything for Rosie's happiness, her tech-bro husband, Jordan, acquiesces to her vision for the future, and they offer – well above asking price – on a beautiful, historic fixer-upper in the Hudson Valley. But when Jordan suddenly loses his job on the day they close the deal, the couple is forced to rent out the property's dilapidated outbuilding. Enter Dylan and Lark: an incredibly attractive and handy queer couple who offer to rent the outbuilding and help Rosie and Jordan with repairs. They're living the life Rosie had envisioned for herself: hand-built furniture, herbal tinctures, guinea hens, and hand-dyed linens. Rosie grows increasingly infatuated with their new tenants, especially with model-esque and charismatic Dylan – to Jordan's increasing distress. Whip-smart and wickedly funny, Trust and Safety is a messy romcom perfect for fans of Naoise Dolan, Kristen Arnett and Torrey Peters. 'The perfect book for reminding you about the dangers of believing what you see advertised on Instagram, Trust & Safety satirically pierces everything from idyllic countryside living in massive do-upper houses and New York influencers, to polyamory and pickle jars' - Stylist ‘Trust and Safety is distressingly smart, wickedly sly, and side-clutchingly hilarious... What a brilliantly observed and witty take on the sometimes absurd ways we choose to live. And how blessedly and wonderfully gay’ – Vanessa Chan, author of The Storm We Made ’What happens when we try to live the life that Instagram is selling us? This is the question that Trust and Safety hilariously-and poignantly-asks... It's a smart, funny, and timely exploration of what happens when our obsessions get the better of us, and when we discover that authenticity is not as authentic as it seems’ – Grant Ginder, author of The People We Hate at the Wedding ‘Laugh-out-loud... I felt like I was reading the version of Pride and Prejudice we all want – namely, where Darcy is a woodsy, stick shift-driving butch. If you want a book that perfectly evokes millennial sexual politics under late-stage capitalism, and in which all of us – gay, straight, cis, and trans alike – are read for absolute filth, then look no further than Trust and Safety’ – Rafael Frumkin, author of Confidence and Bugsy ‘Irresistibly hilarious and weird, sexy and surprising, and gently profound, Trust and Safety delighted me at every turn and delivered razor-sharp insights into our contemporary search for authenticity, beauty, and the perfect vintage doorknob’ – Jenny Fran Davis, author of Dykette ‘Sharp, hilarious, and thought-provoking, Trust and Safety is about the aspirations, absurdities, and longings of contemporary life – a story that will make you question your own life choices when you're not lingering over each pitch-perfect line or racing to find out what happens next’ – Jane Pek, author of The Verifiers

Molly finds the answer in the quaint town of Love, where a run-down general store with an attached home were willed to her deceased mother. Trading her acrylic nails for pounding nails, Molly gives the old place a facelift. As the business grows, so does her affection for the townspeople—including Jackson, the local hardware store owner. But her new home holds secrets, and some people have long memories. At one of the town’s events, Molly is threatened. As the danger escalates, Molly must decide whether to leave Love or stay and fight for the life she’s created in the town that has stolen her heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author and playwright Dan Needles has long delighted readers and audiences alike with his insightful and laugh-out-loud perspective on small-town life, published in such bestselling books as Wingfield's World (Random House, 2011), Wingfield's Hope (Key Porter, 2005), With Axe and Flask (McFarlane, Walter and Ross, 2002) and Letters From Wingfield Farm (Key Porter, 1988). In 1988, Needles and his wife left the city to start a family in a country community located two hours north of Toronto. Together they stocked their farm with sheep, cattle, chickens, pigs and, eventually, four children. Needles' charming chronicle unfolds in essays dated from 1997 to 2016, offering homespun advice for successful country living--like whether to wave from the elbow or to merely raise one finger from the steering wheel when passing a neighbour in the car. He cautions on rural superstitions, such as when his neighbour hesitated before selling him weaner pigs because every time he does the wife of the farmer who's buying them becomes pregnant--which turned out to be true. Here too is the tale of an unlikely friendship between a "borderline" collie ("he's never bitten anything in his life and the sheep are catching on") and an odd duck named Ferdinand, as well as other hilarious stories involving an assortment of farm animals, including the weapon of choice to properly dispatch a rooster-gone-bad; the risks of giving a name to a potential Sunday dinner entrée; and how to outsmart a free-range pig. With his witty insight, Needles shares the art of neighbouring in the country--a place made for visits, and "where a figure walking across your field is more of a reason to put the kettle on than to call the police." True Confessions from the Ninth Concession is a sesquicentennial crop of antics and aphorisms by Canada's funniest farmer--one that presents a wonderful escape for world-weary city dwellers, and affirmative reading for anyone who is from, or has moved to, rural Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of women's fiction, The Wendy Holden Boxed Set contains three of Holden's most witty and romantic romps: Beautiful People, Farm Fatale, and Bad Heir Day. Beautiful People: Darcy is a struggling English rose actress when The Call comes from L.A. An Oscar-tastic director. A movie to make her famous. The hunkiest costar in Hollywood. So why doesn't she want to go? Belle is a size-zero film star but she's in big, fat trouble. Hotter than the earth's core a year ago, she's now Tinseltown toast after her last film bombed. Can she get back to the big time? Emma is a down-to-earth, down-on-her-luck nanny trying to weather London's cutthroat childcare scene and celebrity mom whirlwinds. What will it take for her to get back in control of her own life? Jet to London, Hollywood, and Italy; toss in a passionate star chef, a kindhearted paparazzo, and a reluctant male supermodel; and find Wendy Holden at her best—a smash international hit. Farm Fatale: Cash-strapped Rosie and her boyfriend Mark are city folk longing for a country cottage. Rampant nouveaux riches Samantha and Guy are also searching for rustic bliss—in the biggest mansion money can buy. The village of Eight Mile Bottom seems quiet enough, despite a nosy postman, a reclusive rock star, a glamorous Bond Girl, and a ghost with a knife in its back. But there are unexpected thrills in the hills, and Rosie is rapidly discovering that country life isn't so simple after all. Bad Heir Day: Anna's boyfriend is impossibly handsome, impossibly rich, and generally just impossible. When he inevitably dumps her, she vows to give up men and throws herself into her career as an aspiring novelist. Which is how she ends up working for Cassandra. The social climber from hell, Cassandra has a huge mansion, a philandering rock star husband, Satan for a son, and a bestselling writing career that has massively stalled. So when dashing Jamie, charming heir to a castle in Scotland, offers Anna an escape beyond her wildest dreams, she can't believe her luck. And she probably shouldn't... Praise for Wendy Holden: "This lighthearted romp, surprisingly unpredictable, smart, and fun, is refreshing fare readers can turn to."—Publishers Weekly "Every character here is deliciously ridiculous, and every rustic detail a grand satirical opportunity."—Baltimore Sun "Wendy Holden writes with delicious verve and energy."—Mail on Sunday
