Book Synopsis Spooning Daisy by : Maggie McConnell
Download or read book Spooning Daisy written by Maggie McConnell and published by Lyrical Press. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's a long way from Seattle to Otter Bite, Alaska. But if one woman can survive the trip--and the locals--she just might find what her heart has been searching for. Her mango chutney is exquisite; her blueberry sauce is to die for. But right now, Chef de Cuisine Daisy Moon is a woman without a kitchen--and without a fiancé. Unceremoniously dumped from her place of business and her relationship, Daisy sells her belongings, plus a few of her ex's, and packs her bags. Maybe smashing all the china in her former restaurant was a bad move. Stripped of her Golden Spoon for "un-chef-like" conduct, she is now blacklisted all over Seattle. Her sole job offer is from the Wild Man Lodge...in Otter Bite, Alaska. Too bad Daisy can't even get out of Dodge without incident. By the time she boards a ship for Alaska, she's got a trail of new troubles behind her, and suddenly Otter Bite is sounding pretty good. But the vessel turns into her own personal Titanic when a series of close encounters confirms her terrible taste in men--including one very good looking bad luck charm named Max Kendall. She vows to dedicate the rest of her days to chowders and brulée. Yet even Alaska isn't far enough away to shake the memories of the sexy shipmate who rocked her cabin--and her world. Thank goodness she's done with surprises--but they may not be done with her...

Now she’s carrying his baby. To ensure that his child—his first son—has every advantage, Boss Yeung has shipped Scarlett off to give birth on American soil. As Scarlett awaits the baby’s arrival, she spars with her imperious housemates. The only one who fits in even less is Daisy, a spirited, pregnant teenager who is being kept apart from her American boyfriend. Then a new sonogram of Scarlett’s baby reveals the unexpected. Panicked, she goes on the run by hijacking a van—only to discover that she has a stowaway: Daisy, who intends to track down the father of her child. The two flee to San Francisco’s bustling Chinatown, where Scarlett will join countless immigrants desperately trying to seize their piece of the American dream.

Book excerpt: Their meet-cute? He pulled her over for speeding and got an earful of the steamy audiobook she'd been listening to... Officer Gray Hoffman lives by structure and routine: morning workouts, Friday night poker games, and his monthly true-crime book club. Utter perfection once he finds a wife to share his impeccable, though predictable, life with. Sam Thornton - soon to be Sam Smith once her divorce goes through - moved out to Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, to discover who she is on her own. Without a man. Not that she wouldn't say no to a kiss or a one-night-stand, but that's as far as she'll let it go. Newly single, she's devoting all her time to her new career at Bark Sniff Wag, growing her steamy romance review blog despite the judgment she gets from others (Officer Gray, to name one), and living her best life in general. Except that every time she turns around in the tiny town there's Gray being his usual uptight, no-fun-allowed self. Well, most times. Because lately she's caught a glimpse of a different side of Gray. As their arguments begin to sound more like flirty banter, Sam starts to wonder if maybe she'd written off the so-hot-it-should-be-a-crime police officer a little too soon. But is happily ever after even a possibility? All Gray wants to do is settle down while Sam's all but sworn off ever walking down the aisle again.

Book Synopsis Meditations with Cows by : Shreve Stockton
Download or read book Meditations with Cows written by Shreve Stockton and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate memoir on the work and wonder of ranch life, critiquing the inhumane and environmentally destructive factory farm system and offering sustainable alternatives for ethical omnivores. Although there are nearly 100 million cattle in the United States, these animals are often ignored or dismissed. In Meditations with Cows, Shreve Stockton inspires a more reverential attitude toward these affectionate and intelligent creatures as she shares captivating stories and photos of ranch life. At the center of the narrative is Daisy, the matriarch of the herd. Through the daily ritual of milking, Stockton forges a relationship with Daisy that deepens with each passing season: "When you have a milk cow, you are together every day, no matter the weather, no matter either of your moods. The hind leg of this twelve-hundred-pound animal towers over you as you crouch beside her... both of you aware of the fact that one well-aimed kick could kill you if she wished. Yet you are allowed to rest your cheek and forehead against her warm belly as you milk... her trust in you entwined with your trust in her, you become family." For anyone who loves animals or cares about the environmental impact of their food, Stockton explores conservation and the important role of cattle in local ecosystems, models the humane treatment of animals, and shows how pastured cattle can be our allies in averting climate crisis. Blending together narrative, science, and thoughtful reflection, Meditations with Cows offers a moving portrait of the rhythms of work, life, and hardship on the ranch.
