Book excerpt: Lambda Literary Award Winner! “Pen is an inspiration to anyone who’s struggled to be understood, and a vital addition to the growing world of genderqueer protagonists.” —New York Times Book Review All Pen wants is to be the kind of girl she’s always been. So why does everyone have a problem with it? They think the way she looks and acts means she’s trying to be a boy—that she should quit trying to be something she’s not. If she dresses like a girl, and does what her folks want, it will show respect. If she takes orders and does what her friend Colby wants, it will show her loyalty. But respect and loyalty, Pen discovers, are empty words. Old-world parents, disintegrating friendships, and strong feelings for other girls drive Pen to see the truth—that in order to be who she truly wants to be, she’ll have to man up. M. E. Girard’s Girl Mans Up is perfect for fans of Meredith Russo, Becky Albertalli, Alex Sanchez, and Jaye Robin Brown!

Download or read book HARD KNOX written by Nicole Williams and published by Nicole Williams. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From NEW YORK TIMES and USATODAY Bestselling author Nicole Williams . . . Knox Jagger. The name inspires resentment in every male at Sinclair University, want in every female, and contempt in Charlie Chase. Charlie can be summed up in three words: independent, independent, and independent. To Charlie, Knox epitomizes everything that’s wrong with college males: prolific one-night stands, drunken senseless fights, and a body that hints at prioritizing gym time over study time. As an up-and-coming writer for Sinclair University’s newspaper, Charlie’s tasked with getting to the bottom of who’s been dropping little white pills into girls’ drinks at parties. In an ocean of All-American boys sporting polo shirts and innocent smiles, Knox is the obvious suspect. As evidence piles up against the bad boy of Sinclair, Charlie becomes more and more certain it isn’t Knox. But when her drink is dosed at a party and she wakes up on Knox’s couch the next morning, Charlie’s left with more questions than answers when it comes to Knox Jagger. How can Charlie ever hope to uncover the truth behind a guy so closed off he’s become . . . Hard Knox. ***Hard Knox is the first book in The Outsider Chronicles, although each book that follows will highlight different couples and each can be read as a stand-alone.***

Playboy Zack, third son of the affluent Feldman Steel empire, doesn't have a lot expected of him. Which is why he spends his whole day on his yacht when he's not pursuing his next artistic endeavor. Women are amusements. And no one amuses him more than Rachel, the beguiling woman he meets in a quiet coffee shop. "I'm not ashamed to say I'm halfway to loving you." A game of hard to get culminates with Rachel agreeing to one thing: being "just friends" with a man who has made his intentions clear. Set on the serene waters, in the creative studio, and beneath the hot lights of a bangin' Indian wedding, JUST FRIENDS is the perfect way to end your summer romance reading.

Book Synopsis The Trailer Two Spaces Down by : Frank Herbert Spittle
Download or read book The Trailer Two Spaces Down written by Frank Herbert Spittle and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-04-16 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE TRAILER TWO SPACES DOWN a novel by Frank Herbert Spittle Boy, oh boy. Had he guessed that his knock on Mrs. Turley's kitchen door would result in Grandfather nail-gunning him to the wall by his scrotum, Montgomery St. John would never have mounted those back porch steps the summer morning in '62. He is discovered upstairs in bed with his high school girlfriend's mother--by the woman's husband. The enraged spouse is ultimately assuaged by Montgomery's mother, who promises a visit to the wood shed, led by the hand of their family's patriarch. Here's novelistic story telling, painted across a broad canvass that releases crackling energy. With quick-sketch portraits of characters in conflicted scenes, The Trailer Two Spaces Down serves up one insightful anecdote after another. The novel's protagonist struggles with extraordinary challenges and temptations on his journey from hormonal adolescence to uneasy middle age. This serious minded boy adores his mentor grandfather, a Franciscan brother living in Malibu's retreat house. The older man works to sort out the pieces in the boy's sexual missteps and counsels his weekend guest through sessions the young lothario recognizes as allowing for no bullshit. The result is a mutually arrived upon life plan. First, Montgomery will resolve to avoid near occasions of sin, then move to exert control over his future. He'll map a career search, one that prioritizes self-fulfillment, while acknowledging service useful to the world. Through the ensuing years Montgomery strives to earn God's approval while he struggles to work the plan. Attempts at holding to the plan's resolutions involve unconventional tactics while he works through an anguished youth toward a tumultuous manhood. Back home from his session with Grandfather, he's present when his catechism class hosts a visiting foreign missionary. The man's stories capture Montgomery's imagination and he decides to enter the seminary to become a Maryknoll priest. While a missionary in Bolivia, Montgomery's disturbed that needy children neither read nor write. The zealous Father St. John becomes dispirited by unsuccessful attempts to rally interest in building a one-room cinder block school. He resigns the priesthood to enlist in the U.S. Navy. Serving in Viet Nam, thoughts that motivated his determination to protect native Catholics from Communist adversaries evaporate when he witnesses the carnage. A wounded warrior, tastes the anguish of the lie of war. Montgomery reworks the plan--he'll throttle his intensity by observing more and participating less in life's serious aspects. He'll pursue the secular lifestyle. Back home, the civilian scrimps by on low wages scrambling to break into professional golf. He discovers a special lady living two spaces down in his Southern California trailer court. Following a courtship punctuated by disturbing anonymous threats, they marry. A son and daughter complete Montgomerys secular dreams, until in their teen years the St. John's marriage-survival needle falls ever closer to zero. A dangerous shooting, initiated by his wife, and her later attempt at suicide, have his children demonstrating insecurity that further unhinges him. Her mental condition deteriorates, and Montgomery can risk no more of his wife's acting out her psychotic impulses. Finally her bizarre behavior traumatizes both husband and children. He seeks conservator status and she is court-ordered to psychiatric confinement. In two years she dies. Since birth, Montgomery has been denied the particulars surrounding his biological father. When Mother dies, taking with her his long sought-after secret, an accidental discovery provides the puzzle piece that leads to an individual who never knew he'd fathered a son. The man and his wife form a fast relationship with Montgomery and their new-found grandchildren. A substantial trust is arran
Book Synopsis Reinventing Masculinity by : Edward M. Adams
Download or read book Reinventing Masculinity written by Edward M. Adams and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A wonderful book for thinking about how to release ourselves from crippling processes. It's time for men—and for all of us—to stand up and say, ‘Give us back our full humanity, give us back our dignity.'” —Paul Gilbert, PhD, author of The Compassionate Mind In a recent FiveThirtyEight poll, 60 percent of men surveyed said society puts pressure on men to behave in a way that is unhealthy or bad. Men account for 80 percent of suicides in the United States, and three in ten American men have suffered from depression. Ed Adams and Ed Frauenheim say a big part of the problem is a model of masculinity that's become outmoded and even dangerous, to both men and women. The conventional notion of what it means to be a man—what Adams and Frauenheim call “Confined Masculinity”—traps men in an emotional straitjacket; steers them toward selfishness, misogyny, and violence; and severely limits their possibilities. As an antidote, they propose a new paradigm: Liberating Masculinity. It builds on traditional masculine roles like the protector and provider, expanding men's options to include caring, collaboration, emotional expressivity, an inclusive spirit, and environmental stewardship. Through hopeful stories of men who have freed themselves from the strictures of Confined Masculinity, interviews with both leaders and everyday men, and practical exercises, this book shows the power of a masculinity defined by what the authors call the five Cs: curiosity, courage, compassion, connection, and commitment. Men will discover a way of being that fosters healthy, harmonious relationships at home, at work, and in the world.
Download or read book Little Horrors written by T.S. Kord and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zombies, werewolves and chainsaw-wielding maniacs are tried-and-true staples of horror films. But none can match the visceral dread evoked by a child with an innocent face and a diabolical stare. Cinema's evil children attack our cherished ideas of innocence and our innocent bystander status as the audience. A good horror film is a scary ride--a "devil child" movie is a guilt trip. This book examines 24 international films--with discussions of another 100--that in effect "indict" viewers for crimes of child abuse and abandonment, greed, social and ecological negligence, and political and war crimes, and for persistent denial of responsibility for them all. For 75 years evil children have ritually rebuked audiences and, in playing on our guilt, established a horror subgenre that might be described as a blood-spattered rampage on an ethical mission.

Book excerpt: This collection is a celebration of the long story containing 16 works of fiction along with the novella, "Jane Dough." With the exception of three new pieces, the stories were written from 2000-2006 and then extensively revised for this 2013 book. The following stories are works of fiction intended only to amuse or otherwise stimulate potential adult readers. Any characters resembling persons living or dead are purely an offshoot of coincidence. The setting for "Jane Dough" was based on a neighborhood I lived in for eight years back in Chicago. Ironically, half the block was torn down shortly after my departure . . . but there was no evil conspiracy at fault. It was urban renewal. I don't know the property owners from a hole in the ground.
