Book excerpt: Winner of the Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel from the Crime Writers’ Association (UK) Winner for Best International Crime Fiction from Australian Crime Writers Association An Instant New York Times Bestseller “A vibrant, engrossing, unputdownable thriller that packs a serious emotional punch. One of those rare books that surprise you along the way and then linger in your mind long after you have finished it.” —Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds Right. Wrong. Life is lived somewhere in between. Duchess Day Radley is a thirteen-year-old self-proclaimed outlaw. Rules are for other people. She is the fierce protector of her five-year-old brother, Robin, and the parent to her mother, Star, a single mom incapable of taking care of herself, let alone her two kids. Walk has never left the coastal California town where he and Star grew up. He may have become the chief of police, but he’s still trying to heal the old wound of having given the testimony that sent his best friend, Vincent King, to prison decades before. And he's in overdrive protecting Duchess and her brother. Now, thirty years later, Vincent is being released. And Duchess and Walk must face the trouble that comes with his return. We Begin at the End is an extraordinary novel about two kinds of families—the ones we are born into and the ones we create.
Download or read book Tall Oaks written by Chris Whitaker and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing is as it seems in Tall Oaks, a small California town where everyone knows each other and violent crime is unheard of. The community's idyllic façade is shattered when a kidnapper in a clown costume snatches three-year-old Harry Monroe from his own home. Despite sensational media coverage and dogged police investigations, the abduction remains a mystery. Three months later, Harry is still missing and most people have moved on, except for Jessica, Harry's distraught mother, and Jim, the local sheriff. Anyone in Tall Oaks could be a suspect: Jerry, the loner with a secret that only his mother knows; Jared, the roving lothario; teenage Manny, an aspiring gangster; and even Jessica's Aunt Henrietta and Uncle Roger, who are clearly hiding something. Chris Whitaker’s debut novel, with its striking blend of tragedy and offbeat humor, was awarded the U.K. Crime Writers' Association New Blood Dagger Award. The Guardian praised this beguiling novel as "a pleasingly unusual mixture of a psychological thriller and screwball comedy," noting that "the combination of verve, humor, and pathos make it well worth a read."

Book Synopsis The Animators by : Kayla Rae Whitaker
Download or read book The Animators written by Kayla Rae Whitaker and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A wildly original novel that pulses with heart and truth . . . That this powerful exploration of friendship, desire, ambition, and secrets manages to be ebullient, gripping, heartbreaking, and deeply deeply funny is a testament to Kayla Rae Whitaker’s formidable gifts. I was so sorry to reach the final page. Sharon and Mel will stay with me for a very long time.”—Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, author of The Nest NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Entertainment Weekly • NPR • Kirkus Reviews • BookPage She was the first person to see me as I had always wanted to be seen. It was enough to indebt me to her forever. In the male-dominated field of animation, Mel Vaught and Sharon Kisses are a dynamic duo, the friction of their differences driving them: Sharon, quietly ambitious but self-doubting; Mel, brash and unapologetic, always the life of the party. Best friends and artistic partners since the first week of college, where they bonded over their working-class roots and obvious talent, they spent their twenties ensconced in a gritty Brooklyn studio. Working, drinking, laughing. Drawing: Mel, to understand her tumultuous past, and Sharon, to lose herself altogether. Now, after a decade of striving, the two are finally celebrating the release of their first full-length feature, which transforms Mel’s difficult childhood into a provocative and visually daring work of art. The toast of the indie film scene, they stand at the cusp of making it big. But with their success come doubt and destruction, cracks in their relationship threatening the delicate balance of their partnership. Sharon begins to feel expendable, suspecting that the ever-more raucous Mel is the real artist. During a trip to Sharon’s home state of Kentucky, the only other partner she has ever truly known—her troubled, charismatic childhood best friend, Teddy—reenters her life, and long-buried resentments rise to the surface, hastening a reckoning no one sees coming. A funny, heartbreaking novel of friendship, art, and trauma, The Animators is about the secrets we keep and the burdens we shed on the road to adulthood. “Suffused with humor, tragedy and deep insights about art and friendship.”—People “[A] stunning debut.”—Variety “A compulsively readable portrait of women as incandescent artists and intimate collaborators.”—Elle
Book Synopsis Postcards to the Future by : Anne Whitaker
Download or read book Postcards to the Future written by Anne Whitaker and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-18 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postcards to the Future: Mercurial Musings 1995-2021 brings together the very best work in astrological journalism by Anne Whitaker, first published in and on such highly respected magazines and websites as The Mountain Astrologer, The Astrological Journal, Dell Horoscope, Astrodienst (astro.com) and more. This unique collection of essays and articles covers a vast spectrum of subjects - from planetary cycles, Fate, the 12th house, professional ethics and science to transits, progressions, planetary ingresses, Jungian psychology and the astrological links between between Frankenstein creator Mary Shelley and climate activist Greta Thunberg. Even Dolly the Sheep''s cosmic significance is charted. As a writer and columnist, Anne Whitaker carries her considerable learning lightly. She combines a forensic approach to subjects with flashes of sardonic humour, often linking themes to her own extraordinary and eventful life. This approach has earned her an army of fans (and editors) who appreciate her fearlessness, honesty, openness and critical robustness. Praise for Postcards by leading astrologers: "Prolific writer, creative thinker, caring soul and in-depth astrologer. Anne Whitaker reveals all these characters in this engaging compilation of astrological writings and musings, inspired by her 40+ years of immersion in astrology. I greatly admire the way Anne animates astrological symbols so they live in the moment and touch us deeply. Postcards is brimming with these moments." - Brian Clark, author of Soul, Symbol and Imagination "Postcards to the Future by master astrologer Anne Whitaker is a superlative collection of delight and depth. Anne offers us sagacious storytelling treasures of soulful, relatable experience culled from her lifetime of study, counseling, teaching, and writing, including her much-loved Dell Horoscope column. Each recollection of old cycles or new horizons brims with the wisdom and wit that only four decades of exploration through a lens of eloquent self-observation and poetic psychological awareness could give. ''A life well examined'', Socrates would say, and wonderfully shared in this rich, sophisticated compilation - Ronnie Grishman, Editor Emeritus, Dell Horoscope magazine "An in-depth knowledge of astrology requires an investigative and probing mind. To become proficient in the art, astrologers must learn more than the basics and how to apply them - they must test assumptions learned from books and teachers, put energy into researching the links between birth charts and biographies, and keep curious and observant - always keen to refine their craft. Astrology must also be a deeply personal pursuit, for the way in which we approach and interpret a birth chart reflects our subjective view of the world. However open we astrologers may be to others'' viewpoints and techniques, inevitably we relate to a birth chart from our own lens coloured by life experiences and interactions. "Postcards to the Future fulfils both criteria. It''s a diverse compendium of astute, hard-won, professional observations that also contains many humorous and personal anecdotes. It''s a sincere reflection of Anne Whitaker''s pursuit of all things astrological, and her personal journey as a psychological astrologer and consultant... "The essays in Postcards are peppered with new perspectives on familiar topics - the sort of perceptive analyses only available to a writer after years of searching and researching the subject...In Anne Whitaker, we meet these through a Mercury-Pluto conjunction and Jupiter in Scorpio in the 3rd house - placements worthy of a writer, counsellor, teacher and mentor who has made astrology her creative passion for over 40 years." - Frank C. Clifford, celebrated astrologer, teacher, lecturer, publisher and author
Book Synopsis My Long Trip Home by : Mark Whitaker
Download or read book My Long Trip Home written by Mark Whitaker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a dramatic, moving work of historical reporting and personal discovery, Mark Whitaker, award-winning journalist, sets out to trace the story of what happened to his parents, a fascinating but star-crossed interracial couple, and arrives at a new understanding of the family dramas that shaped their lives—and his own. His father, “Syl” Whitaker, was the charismatic grandson of slaves who grew up the child of black undertakers from Pittsburgh and went on to become a groundbreaking scholar of Africa. His mother, Jeanne Theis, was a shy World War II refugee from France whose father, a Huguenot pastor, helped hide thousands of Jews from the Nazis and Vichy police. They met in the mid-1950s, when he was a college student and she was his professor, and they carried on a secret romance for more than a year before marrying and having two boys. Eventually they split in a bitter divorce that was followed by decades of unhappiness as his mother coped with self-recrimination and depression while trying to raise her sons by herself, and his father spiraled into an alcoholic descent that destroyed his once meteoric career. Based on extensive interviews and documentary research as well as his own personal recollections and insights, My Long Trip Home is a reporter’s search for the factual and emotional truth about a complicated and compelling family, a successful adult’s exploration of how he rose from a turbulent childhood to a groundbreaking career, and, ultimately, a son’s haunting meditation on the nature of love, loss, identity, and forgiveness.

Book Synopsis Live Big, Love Bigger by : Kathryn Whitaker
Download or read book Live Big, Love Bigger written by Kathryn Whitaker and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular blogger Kathryn Whitaker is a Dr Pepper super fan, Aggie-loving, type A mom of six with a personality the size of her native Texas. The stressful premature birth of her fifth child threw her orderly world into chaos and ultimately led her to rethink her priorities. In Live Big, Love Bigger, Whitaker shares her journey and challenges readers to understand that they, too, can live a life of authenticity with joy-filled purpose, love, and faith. Along the way, she’ll help readers see that choosing to say no is the only way they’ll be able to say yes to what matters most—Jesus. It’s not every family who would plan a week-long Texas barbecue pilgrimage for a family of eight, much less expand the idea to a multi-month quest to experience the state, eat amazing food, and visit some awesome religious sites along the way. But Whitaker did it—when she decided imperfect family road trips trumped a vacation at a luxury resort. “Barbecue encouraged us to hit the road, while Jesus met us at every single stop along the way—proof that he loves brisket as much as we do, right?” Ditching the fancy vacation was one way Whitaker learned to give up control and say no to perfectionism and over-achievement in order to live a new, more intentional life and discover what God truly has in store for her family. Whitaker’s sassy authenticity will make readers laugh—and cry—while encouraging them to be honest about mistakes in every area of their life, embrace them, and find a way to let God redeem it all.
