Book excerpt: In 1938, when faced with a decision to work at a shoe company in India or stay in Czechoslovakia and wait for another war, Miki Hruska’s newly married parents opted to move, thinking they would return home in a few years. But they would not be able to return “home” for another four decades; instead, home became Calcutta, where they raised their family and established a business during a parade of turbulent social and political events. The ill-planned departure of the British from India and their bungled attempts at Partition engendered riots and killings that brought bloodshed to the family’s front door. And when the Communists took over the government of West Bengal, they brought labour disruptions that made it next to impossible to operate the family business. This riveting family memoir is set during the cataclysmic events of WWII and its aftermath, giving a harrowing yet heartwarming portrait of life for a migrant Czech family and showing how perseverance and love can sustain people through the darkest of times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of love and loss of three childhood friends, Lauren, Maddison, and Jennifer, who had their whole lives planned out. Their future was bright. All three of them had been accepted to Spellman University. This would be the beginning of the rest of their lives. The girls had rented a beach house for the summer and had plans of lying out in the sun and pool parties and lots of shopping, until tragedy strikes, and Maddison learns that her brother is barely clinging to life, and the outcome does not look good. The girls pack up and return to their hometown to find out that her brother was murdered. Unable to console one another, this experience left them scarred for life. Their tight-knit bond was unraveling. All they ever knew was each other. How would they navigate life without one another? Before long, they were all leading different lives. If they only knew what was to come, would they have tried harder to stay tied to one another like the sheets they tied together to make tents when they had sleepovers? Truth is, no one could predict what was to happen next. They say time heals all wounds. I think Lauren, Maddison, and Jennifer would have to disagree.

Book Synopsis How Far? by : Bob Wilber
Download or read book How Far? written by Bob Wilber and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2022-01-26 with total page 986 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob Wilber wrapped up his lengthy professional sports and marketing career in 2016, and immediately wrote and published his autobiography "Bats, Balls, & Burnouts" to great acclaim. For "How Far?" he stretched his writing muscles into an entirely new genre. "How Far?" is historical fiction, and the story surrounds two disparate characters. Wilber wrote "How Far?" as those two characters, in their distinct voices. One is a gifted baseball player from Southern California and the son of artist hippies. The other an undersized hockey player from Roseau, Minnesota, a hotbed of high school hockey in a state where hockey is king. Roseau is a small community just south of the Canadian border and has produced numerous NHL and international hockey stars. Both characters progress through the challenges they face. Each come from vastly different upbringings. Both reach levels of greatness. And, thanks to one spontaneous moment, they met, became friends, and achieved their individual paths to the pinnacle of their sports. It is an unlikely story, but a very possible one brought to life by Bob Wilber's technique and attention to detail. There is drama, heartbreak, elation, and more. Life lessons learned. Moments of brilliant brightness as well as the darkness of personal lows. There are also deep dives into the world of amateur and professional sports, down to the tiniest important details. It is a tale of life, told through the lens of elite athletes playing different games while they impact each other's lives.

The Christmas Concierge by Beth Kendrick Christmas concierge Holiday Smith, known as “the Wish Granter,” procures impossible-to-find gifts for her elite clients. When Holiday agrees to set up her favorite client’s granddaughter on a blind date with the famously private Alex Sappier, Holiday will need to pull out all the stops if she’s going to make it home in time for Christmas.

Home Sweet Christmas by Charlee James When big-city pastry chef Kayla Hunter returns home to help with Hollybrook’s Christmas Eve Spectacular, she’s disappointed to learn that her grandparents are selling The Candy Manor, a charming Victorian mansion that housed them and their chocolate business. They’ve also left her in charge of holiday preparations with Dominick Rowe, Hollybrook’s distractingly-handsome new lawyer. But Kayla’s grandparents have a plan up their sleeves—have they stirred up too much trouble this time, or will Kayla and Dominick’s opposing hearts melt with holiday magic? A Santa Fe Christmas by Cecelia Guzman Evie Hernandez gave up her dream job to help with Mama Irene’s, the family business.

But Alex has a deadline to keep and a business to get back to—plus, Evie will hate him when she learns why he’s really there. Can the magic of a Santa Fe Christmas help these two find their way?

Sparks fly and Ben is feeling far more than inspiration, yet each time he and Qara get close, she’s distracted by work. Opposites clearly attract, but can they learn to balance work with love in order to build a future together?

Book Synopsis Climb to Conquer by : Peter Shelton

Book excerpt: Few stories from the "greatest generation" are as unforgettable -- or as little known -- as that of the 10th Mountain Division. Today a versatile light infantry unit deployed around the world, the 10th began in 1941 as a crew of civilian athletes with a passion for mountains and snow. In this vivid history, adventure writer Peter Shelton follows the unique division from its conception on a Vermont ski hill, through its dramatic World War II coming-of-age, to the ultimate revolution it inspired in American outdoor life. In the late-1930s United States, rock climbing and downhill skiing were relatively new sports. But World War II brought a need for men who could handle extreme mountainous conditions -- and the elite 10th Mountain Division was born. Everything about it was unprecedented: It was the sole U.S. Army division trained on snow and rock, the only division ever to grow out of a sport. It had an un-matched number of professional athletes, college scholars, and potential officer candidates, and as the last U.S. division to enter the war in Europe, it suffered the highest number of casualties per combat day. This is the 10th's surprising, suspenseful, and often touching story. Drawing on years of interviews and research, Shelton re-creates the ski troops' lively, extensive, and sometimes experimental training and their journey from boot camp to the Italian Apennines. There, scaling a 1,500-foot "unclimbable" cliff face in the dead of night, they stunned their enemy and began the eventual rout of the German armies from northern Italy. It was a self-selecting elite, a brotherhood in sport and spirit. And those who survived (including the Sierra Club's David Brower, Aspen Skiing Corporation founder Friedl Pfeifer, and Nike cofounder Bill Bowerman, who developed the waffle-sole running shoe) turned their love of mountains into the thriving outdoor industry that has transformed the way Americans see (and play in) the natural world.

Book excerpt: Today’s man may know how to dress with style, but does he know how to behave? Though the rules of civility have changed along with the world, Men and Manners believes in manners. This book doesn’t tell you which fork to use or how to write a thank you note. But it is going to remind you of basic, respectful rules you may have forgotten or have chosen to ignore. Comprised of short essays, shorter interviews, and lists of guidelines for men of all ages, this book provides an honest, playful, and humorous look at the conflicted state of manners today. Subjects that may fluster today’s man†•such as tipping, toasting, texting, grooming, dating, office behavior, and home decor†•are explored with the trademark combination of dry wit and self-deprecating attitude that has made David Coggins one of today’s most well-respected men’s style writers. With humorous illustrations and contributions from some of today’s male style icons, Men and Manners makes the case for being the man who offers the best seat to his companion, who knows when to pick up the tab, and who remembers to do what’s right even if it isn’t always rewarded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emily thought her life was perfect with the exception that she always wondered who her father was and what her mother was really like. She was adopted as a newborn by her mother's best friend when her real mother died from a blood disease shortly after she was born. Her life seemed charmed and she had nearly everything she could want or need. Her curiosity through the years of her youth was soothed by pictures of her biological mother but never her father. Lisa, her adoptive mother, didn't know who her father was, just that her mother Molly had gone to a sperm bank because she didn't want the complications of having a husband and all the headaches of a relationship with a man. Molly wanted a baby to complete her perfect life as Hollywood's prettiest newscaster. Her life was charmed and she was perfectly happy without the confinement of a relationship. She had had many relationships without satisfying results and decided she didn't need a man in her life, if only she just had a baby. So she went to the sperm bank and chose the most intelligent and most handsome donor from the vast selection in the catalog. She knew her baby would be perfect in every way. Before Emily came into Lisa's life, she had raised her son and had a pretty quiet but satisfying life. Was she ready to take on another child if something happened to Molly? She and Molly had been inseparable since they were children. She would die for Molly, but to raise a child on her own again was no small favor. When Emily's father, Jake, came looking for the child or children his sperm had produced, he wasn't sure what to expect. As it turned out, only one child had been produced and he knew he had to track her down. As a widower with no children of his own, he longed to know his biological daughter, hoping she felt the same way and that she would want to know him. Once he found her, should he seek custody or just leave her be? He wondered what she looked like and how old she was, if she would accept him as part of her life or reject him for not being there before even though it wasn't his choice to not be there for her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chief joy of travelling comes from getting from where you were to where you choose to be, on time. A close second would be finding that your luggage has almost matched your trip and can be found on arrival. Unexpectedly high on the list of pleasures, though, are chance encounters. Seemingly dealt by fate at random, your seatmates may leave lasting impressions. They may quietly change your life. A bucket list is a list of experiences or achievements that a person writes down, when young, and crosses off as each is accomplished. Improbable items on the list may approach one hundred. They help give a sense of meaning to life, of progress, of winning in a competition to reach the writers dreams. A bucket list seems to symbolize purposeful living. The term relates to what people set out to grasp before they kick the bucket. The motivational value is obvious. A word for the opposite kind of life is hard to propose. It would be a life, like the one that is the subject of this book; made up of unplanned reactions to unexpected events. Such a life might be unachieving or hum drum. It could, as easily, be striking. It could be serene carefree, lucky or unlucky, looking back. Most readers, like this author, will not have a bucket list. Life unfolds as it may. Like snow flakes, no two haphazard lives will be identical. The chance events of life can, just as forcefully, change the outcomes of carefully planned and structured lives. The value to you, as a traveller, is to recognize the balance of opportunity and effort that colours all our lives, in whatever order those two influences may come. Here, then, is your opportunity for a chance encounter. If you knew the author in one of the two dozen or more scenarios of your shared life, this is your chance to reminisce. What came before and what came after, in his life or in your own? How did it all come about? How did it all come out? If you have never met the author, here is a different opportunity. In a few hours you can follow what came to be written on the blank slate of one of your companions on lifes journey. You can experiece a different life. You can be assured that your arrival (with your luggage) and your perceptions will end with new discoveries and satisfaction. Enjoy your trip.Enjoy your companion. You can begin to do both, now, by buying the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Century of Northwest wilderness skiing stories by noted expert 150 black-and-white and color photographs Celebrates the friluftsliv, or open-air living spirit, of backcountry skiing In Written in the Snows, renowned local skiing historian Lowell Skoog presents a definitive and visually rich history of the past century of Northwest ski culture, from stirring and colorful stories of wilderness exploration to the evolution of gear and technique. He traces the development of skiing in Washington from the late 1800s to the present, covering the beginnings of ski resorts and competitions, the importance of wild places in the Olympic and Cascade mountains (including Oregon's Mount Hood), and the friluftsliv, or open-air living spirit, of backcountry skiing. Skoog addresses how skiing has been shaped by larger social trends, including immigration, the Great Depression, war, economic growth, conservation, and the media. In turn, Northwest skiers have affected their region in ways that transcend the sport, producing local legends like Milnor Roberts, Olga Bolstad, Hans Otto Giese, Bill Maxwell, and more. While weaving his own impressions and experiences into the larger history, Skoog shows that skiing is far more than mere sport or recreation.
