Book Synopsis The Fishing Lure by : Greer Alexis Bacon
Download or read book The Fishing Lure written by Greer Alexis Bacon and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. Lives a boy who shares the love of fishing with his grandfather. Who receives a gift of a fishing lure for his birthday. His enjoyment of his new gift is cut short. With a twist of faith, his grandfather's love for fishing is renewed in one single moment that changes everything. Reminding us all of the American dream through a relationship with a boy and his grandfather."Official OnlineBookClub.org: Review of "The Fishing Lure" by Greer Alexis Bacon. 4 out of 4 stars" Family is one of the most important things in life, particularly the child-parent and child-grandparent relationship, and it feels like one being lost over time. When I was a child, we watched things like Full House where no one was perfect, but family stuck together and things always worked out. These days, however, it feels like kids shows represent parents as just silly or unknowledgeable and celebrate the child that mocks them or flat-out disobeys them. Particularly when a child is at the age to be read to, the importance of family should be a key point, and Greer Alexis Bacon's The Fishing Lure does just that across four generations, celebrating what's great about family, spending time together and passing along traditions.The Fishing Lure begins with a boy known only as "Stars and Stripes" for being born on Independence Day, sharing his love of fishing with his grandfather, a WWII vet. Gramps, you see, always loved fishing and took his son when he raised him, and has continued the tradition with his grandson.On Stars and Stripes's 7th birthday his parents get him a new fishing pole and his Gramps gives him a hand painted fishing lure, with the thirteen stripes and 50 stars of the flag upon it, along with the year 1776. The next morning, Stars and Stripes takes his stars and stripes fishing lure and new pole out for a spin. Unfortunately, a snapping turtle gets a hold of the line and the lure is seemingly lost forever. Time goes on, Stars and Stripes opens a fishing shop right there on the Finger Lakes where he always fished and he even has a son. When his Gramps passes, he follows his request to scatter the ashes over the pond the two of them visited, and in doing so his son finds the special fishing lure he lost 22 years ago.The best comparison I can find for The Fishing Lure is one of those Pixar shorts. The book is short, portrays its points expertly, it's touching and sad, even for an adult, and ends on one of those "fighting back a tear while I smile" moments that every single one of them seems to give me. The illustrations in the book are wonderful as well - they colors pop and even sparkle in places, all done with water color paint, and feel like a cross between anime and traditional cartoons. There are a total of 11 in the book's 20ish pages, not including 3 more in a tiny section in the back where the illustrator, T.D Smartgroupvn, briefly explains how the illustrations are done. Official Book review: onlinebookclub.comThe Fishing Lure is a wonderful, short children's book that really captures the love of family without having to even say it's there, and it's a must have for parents to share with their kids, therefore earning itself 4 out of 4 stars. The version I reviewed from Amazon on my Kindle app allowed me to double-click each illustration, making it easy to show to kids as you read it to them (or as they read it themselves even!). The fact that the book is dedicated to the author's own grandfather, also a WWII vet who shared his love of fishing with his grandchildren makes it even more lovable. I found no grammatical errors or oddities, and honestly even reading through a second time with a fine-tooth comb I can't think of anything to make it better!******

Download or read book The Unwitting written by Ellen Feldman and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In CIA parlance, those who knew were “witting.” Everyone else was among the “unwitting.” On a bright November day in 1963, President Kennedy is shot. That same day, Nell Benjamin receives a phone call with news about her husband, the influential young editor of a literary magazine. As the nation mourns its public loss, Nell has her private grief to reckon with, as well as a revelation about Charlie that turns her understanding of her marriage on its head, along with the world she thought she knew. With the Cold War looming ominously over the lives of American citizens in a battle of the Free World against the Communist powers, the blurry lines between what is true, what is good, and what is right tangle with issues of loyalty and love. As the truths Nell discovers about her beloved husband upend the narrative of her life, she must question her own allegiance: to her career as a journalist, to her country, but most of all to the people she loves. Set in the literary Manhattan of the 1950s, at a journal much like the Paris Review, The Unwitting evokes a bygone era of burgeoning sexual awareness and intrigue and an exuberance of ideas that had the power to change the world. Resonant, illuminating, and utterly absorbing, The Unwitting is about the lies we tell, the secrets we keep, and the power of love in the face of both. Praise for The Unwitting “Much of the fun comes from the literary cameos (think: Mary McCarthy, Richard Wright and Robert Lowell), but it’s [Ellen Feldman’s] haunting portrait of a marriage that make this Cold War novel so resonant for readers of any time period, including our own.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “The first notable thing about this book is the narrator’s voice: it is snappish, confident, argumentative, literate. I fell for it from the beginning. . . . The Unwitting is vibrant, sassy, informative, a page-turner, absorbing, and swift. I am a woman, so maybe it is a women’s book, but I seriously doubt it, and hope that male readers will give it a shot. Surely they too will appreciate the research that went into it. Surely they too will be fascinated by its bold and thorough review of the American twentieth century.”—Kelly Cherry, The Los Angeles Review of Books “Compelling enough to take its place with the best of crime fiction, Feldman’s language is loving, bright and sharp while her storytelling abilities are unquestionable. . . . The Unwitting cuts us into an interesting time, then ramps things up. . . . Feldman is clearly a writer who is going places, [and] The Unwitting brings that home: it’s a terrific book.”—January Magazine “A story of love and intrigue during the Cold War, The Unwitting plumbs not only the secrets of spies, but those of the human heart. Moving, witty, and thoroughly intelligent, it is an absorbing and deeply satisfying read.”—Kevin Baker, author of The Big Crowd “Unforgettable . . . The Unwitting compelled me from the first page and through every unexpected twist and turn. This look into the dark places in human nature cries out to be read, re-ead, and discussed.”—Lynn Cullen, author of the national bestseller Mrs. Poe “Through the lens of a passionate, complex marriage, Ellen Feldman brings the Cold War back to life. The Unwitting is a wise and irresistible portrait of fascinating people in a tumultuous time.”—Roger Straus III, former managing director, Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Book Synopsis The Lure of America by : Enrico Downer
Download or read book The Lure of America written by Enrico Downer and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very little is written about the Caribbean immigrant experience in America. This story is told through the eyes of two friends of the writer, young Orson Meyers and his aunt, Elsie Meyers. They emigrated from Barbados to America, Elsie in the fifties and Orson in the sixties. Paving the way for the latter, President Lyndon B. Johnson had just opened the doors a bit wider with the Immigration Act of 1965. It was a radical break from the policies of the past which selectively favored those of Northern and Western Europe but now welcomes the skilled and educated indiscriminately. These characters are real people, albeit disguised with fictitious names. Their stories are told with echoes of America's good as well as her failings, of subtle and not so subtle racism, of job and housing discrimination in those early years. “The Lure of America” encapsulates the journeys of one family all the way from Barbados and recaps the days of their early indoctrination that America was that reputed “Shining Light on the Hill”. This is a story of struggle and survival, of disillusion and determination, of failure but also of triumph. Those who overcame the barriers found good fortune in the land they called their Land of Opportunity.

Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling novel by the critically acclaimed author of Native Speaker, A Gesture Life and My Year Abroad. At 59, Jerry Battle is coasting through life. His favorite pastime is flying his small plane high above Long Island. Aloft, he can escape from the troubles that plague his family, neighbors, and loved ones on the ground. But he can't stay in the air forever. Only months before his 60th birthday, a culmination of family crises finally pull Jerry down from his emotionally distant course. Jerry learns that his family's stability is in jeopardy. His father, Hank, is growing increasingly unhappy in his assisted living facility. His son, Jack, has taken over the family landscaping business but is running it into bankruptcy. His daughter, Theresa, has become pregnant and has been diagnosed with cancer. His longtime girlfriend, Rita, who helped raise his children, has now moved in with another man. And Jerry still has unanswered questions that he must face regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of his late wife. Since the day his wife died, Jerry has turned avoiding conflict into an art form-the perfect expression being his solitary flights from which he can look down on a world that appears serene and unscathed. From his comfortable distance, he can't see the messy details, let alone begin to confront them. But Jerry is learning that in avoiding conflict, he is also avoiding contact with the people he loves most.
Book Synopsis The Lure of the Social by : Gretchen Coombs
Download or read book The Lure of the Social written by Gretchen Coombs and published by Intellect (UK). This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lure of the Social is an intimate and personal exploration into the key individuals, institutions, and gatherings that make up the field of socially engaged art. In this book of encounters, the reader follows Gretchen Coombs on her journey through what could be considered the most significant shift in art world practices in the last two decades. The book navigates a spectrum: at one end, the author works closely with socially engaged artists as part of her ethnographic research; at the other, she tries to find critical distance from which to write about their art projects and the institutional structures that support their work, such as art schools and conferences. Readers are introduced to artists, their work, and the key debates and issues facing this emergent field. In the course of her study, Coombs analyzes the contradictions and paradoxes of this field of practice and gives expression to the artists working to make art relevant in times of social and political uncertainty.
