Book excerpt: From the author of the “full-throttle thriller” (A. J. Finn) No Exit—a riveting new psychological page-turner featuring a fierce and unforgettable heroine. Three months ago, Lena Nguyen’s estranged twin sister, Cambry, drove to a remote bridge seventy miles outside of Missoula, Montana, and jumped two hundred feet to her death. At least, that is the official police version. But Lena isn’t buying it. Now she’s come to that very bridge, driving her dead twin’s car and armed with a cassette recorder, determined to find out what really happened by interviewing the highway patrolman who allegedly discovered her sister’s body. Corporal Raymond Raycevic has agreed to meet Lena at the scene. He is sympathetic, forthright, and professional. But his story still seems a bit off. For one thing, he stopped Cambry for speeding just an hour before she supposedly leaped to her death. Then there are the sixteen attempted 911 calls from her cell phone, made in what was unfortunately a dead zone. But perhaps most troubling of all, the state trooper is referred to by name in Cambry’s final enigmatic text to her sister: Please Forgive Me. Lena will do anything to uncover the truth. But as her twin’s final hours come into focus, Lena’s search turns into a harrowing tooth-and-nail fight for her own survival—one that will test everything she thought she knew about her sister and herself...

Download or read book Bridge Out written by Gary Kirby and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A generational cultural biography of the road taken, not chosen . Our parents sped along this road, ignorant of the broken bridge ahead. They fled the golden glow of farmutopia, entered the silver shadow of Pandora's Shop, birthed us among mechanical and electrical toys-and now we wander in this great white out, a white blindness which we are passing onto our children who are our green hope. History will not absolve us unless we change, because we know what we do. There is a way to wheel our massive cultural inertia around, and when we leave this planet in guilt or innocence, we pass to our children the greatest challenge-to save our planet, to save its life, to save themselves. While chronologically clear and analogically appealing, don't let the style fool you-I promise a raucous, ironic, sardonic, sarcastic, rollicking ride with flashbacks and fast-forwards that might spin out of control. Hang on. Dr. Gary Kirby, a Renaissance PhD out of Northwestern, describes his eight books on GaryKirby.com as "waking dreams with a pleasure and a point." If this point penetrates, there is hope to harmonize high tech with a clean green earth and a true blue sky. To achieve this end, Gary started TheEarthAct.org, and invites you to join.

Book Synopsis The Futilitarians by : Anne Gisleson
Download or read book The Futilitarians written by Anne Gisleson and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memoir of friendship and literature chronicling a search for meaning and comfort in great books, and a beautiful path out of grief. Anne Gisleson had lost her twin sisters, had been forced to flee her home during Hurricane Katrina, and had witnessed cancer take her beloved father. Before she met her husband, Brad, he had suffered his own trauma, losing his partner and the mother of his son to cancer in her young thirties. "How do we keep moving forward," Anne asks, "amid all this loss and threat?" The answer: "We do it together." Anne and Brad, in the midst of forging their happiness, found that their friends had been suffering their own losses and crises as well: loved ones gone, rocky marriages, tricky child-rearing, jobs lost or gained, financial insecurities or unexpected windfalls. Together these resilient New Orleanians formed what they called the Existential Crisis Reading Group, which they jokingly dubbed "The Futilitarians." From Epicurus to Tolstoy, from Cheever to Amis to Lispector, each month they read and talked about identity, parenting, love, mortality, and life in post-Katrina New Orleans, In the year after her father's death, these living-room gatherings provided a sustenance Anne craved, fortifying her and helping her blaze a trail out of her well-worn grief. More than that, this fellowship allowed her finally to commune with her sisters on the page, and to tell the story of her family that had remained long untold. Written with wisdom, soul, and a playful sense of humor, The Futilitarians is a guide to living curiously and fully, and a testament to the way that even from the toughest soil of sorrow, beauty and wonder can bloom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Locking the doors may not keep a killer out Lexie Lincoln hoped the Saturday outing Wes Mosby planned would be a date, a step toward defining their ambiguous relationship, but it turns out to be something better: a story. Wes fears there was something shady about the construction of a bridge that collapsed in a recent storm. It’s out of his jurisdiction, but he thinks Lexie’s just the person to dig into it. She suspects Wes might be right when the county engineer she calls about the bridge invites her to his house for a cookout instead of arranging an interview. There must be something he doesn’t want to discuss at the office. But when she arrives, he’s nowhere to be found. His family can’t get into the house because it’s locked from the inside. After the police resort to kicking in a door, they find him dead from an apparent suicide. Or is it? It doesn’t make sense for him to invite Lexie over, then kill himself before talking. On the other hand, there are those locked doors. How could the killer have left? Then again, this is Stirling Mills, where half the population can do seemingly impossible things. Getting in and out in spite of locked doors isn’t out of the question. If it was murder, was he killed because of the bridge, or was it something else? Either way, Lexie’s investigation into the bridge has made her a target of threats. If she’s dealing with someone willing to kill to keep her from finding and publishing the truth, and if that person can lock or unlock any door, she won’t be safe until she brings the killer to justice.

Download or read book Bridge to Haven written by Francine Rivers and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller! In this riveting saga of temptation, grace, and unconditional love, the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and The Masterpiece delivers big-canvas storytelling at its very best. To those who matter in 1950s Hollywood, Lena Scott is the hottest rising star to hit the silver screen since Marilyn Monroe. Few know her real name is Abra. Even fewer know the price she’s paid to finally feel like she’s somebody. To Pastor Ezekiel Freeman, Abra will always be the little girl who stole his heart the night he found her, a wailing newborn abandoned under a bridge on the outskirts of Haven. Zeke and his son, Joshua—Abra’s closest friend—watch her grow into an exotic beauty. But Zeke knows the circumstances surrounding her birth have etched scars deep in her heart, scars that leave her vulnerable to a fast-talking charmer who lures her to Tinseltown. Hollywood feels like a million miles from Haven, and naive Abra quickly learns what’s expected of an ambitious girl with stars in her eyes. But fame comes at a devastating price. She has burned every bridge to get exactly what she thought she wanted. Now all she wants is a way back home. “One of the edgiest Christian romances I have had the pleasure of reading in a long while. Francine Rivers has woven a deeply moving story with an adept hand that knows just how to layer humanity, in all its beautiful and ugly truth, into almost every individual who steps onto the page.” —USA Today’s Happy Ever After Blog “This is another compelling and moving story by one of the genre’s most honored and talented writers.” —Library Journal, starred review “Rivers returns with a page-turning recasting of the story of the prodigal son, here a prodigal daughter. . . . This story arc will be particularly resonant for Christian readers, but Rivers has the writing ability to reel in others who enjoy a well-told tale of redemption.” —Publishers Weekly
