Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You’ll want to spend every minute of your time with the O’Daniel Family, experiencing their simple adventures in a way that only this oldest daughter can weave them. Written with a sense of hope and an amazing capture of mid-twentieth century detail, you will enjoy the opportunity to: Revisit big department stores again, when Louisville’s only place to shop was downtown Spend a delightful day at Fontaine Ferry, Louisville’s famous amusement park Be part of the quarrels, love and joy – feeling the bonds of this close knit era, when dependence on family members and neighbors was essential. Experience farm life in the suburbs. Deanna’s classmates jumped rope in subdivisions while the O’Daniels slopped hogs, killed chickens, and hoped they went to school without smelling like the animals they tended. Only a few can tell their story coherently like Deanna does with this touching memoir. First born in a large rural family, she relates her passage through childhood with charming and accurate descriptions of life in Kentuckiana. A chronicle of many customs and places that are fast slipping away from our collective memories, such as her description of the country store in Nelson County, Kentucky. A book you will tell others, “I’m so fond of this one.” John Allen Boyd, Emerson Avery, That Latin Teacher Deanna’s story is of dedicated parents and (eventually) 11 children. They migrated near Louisville, Kentucky when Deanna was five. Her stories about those formative years paint a portrait in glowing colors, depicting struggles and love that molds and endures. You will love Deanna and her story. Terry Cummins, Feed My Sheep O’Daniel, a gifted writer who tightly weaves her life’s journey through stories that makes growing up on a farm sound like sunshine. She shares the daily toil, angst and rivalry associated with a large family in a humorous, but realistic way – tugging at your heart for a piece of those bygone days.

Book excerpt: In this humorous and intelligent memoir from a consummate storyteller, Sheila Joyce Strunk captures the richness of language and the eccentricity of people and places she knew growing up in the mountain South. SWEET EVENING BREEZE bewitches from its opening dissertation on spirit. Strunk offers astonishing detail in the wry voice of the natural-born songwriter and storyteller. **** Two poets laureate enthusiastically recommend SWEET EVENING BREEZE: **** George Ella Lyon says, "There is so much to love about SWEET EVENING BREEZE: the author's affection for our history, her eye for the quirky and absurd in human character, her irreverent wisdom, her political and literary savvy. But what I find the most delicious about Sheila Joyce Strunk's memoir is the muscular music of her language. Lyrical, pithy, rejoicing in sound and rhythm, her words are alive and enlivening. Don't miss this book!" **** Gurney Norman says, "Sheila Joyce Strunk's memoir SWEET EVENING BREEZE is one of the most interesting and best written books I have read in a very long time. In her lively, vibrant voice she tells touching, funny, dramatic and always fascinating stories of her early life among colorful relatives and local people in the 1930s, '40s and '50s. The book is a river of stories of people, personalities, places and historic events that flow naturally together in Sheila Strunk's irresistible writing style. It is refreshing that the stories in Strunk's book come from her own prodigious human memory." (www.MotesBooks.com)

Book excerpt: In this second of the sultry Coming Home series from New York Times bestselling author Harper Sloan, Quinn Davis might finally have a shot at her own happily-ever-after—but will she let love in, or will she tell it to go ahead and kiss her boots? Quinn Davis prefers to live her life quietly. She’s the stereotypical tomboy with two overprotective big brothers who have always been there to protect her, especially from devilishly handsome cowboys with silver tongues. That is, until Tate Montgomery comes riding into town. Their first meeting, however, is far from something out of a fairy tale and only further convinces Quinn that men aren’t worth her time. The only place Tate Montgomery ever truly felt at home growing up was during the long, sweltering summer months he spent at his Gram and Paw’s farm in Pine Oak, Texas. Now, Tate has returned to his childhood sanctuary seeking a fresh start—but if he’s being entirely honest, he’s not just back for the wranglers and Stetsons. During those summers, Quinn was a friend-turned-young-love who Tate lost when life threw him a curveball and he cut all ties to his past; but all it takes is one glance at the raven-haired beauty he did his best to forget for him to realize just how much he’s been missing….

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True short stories are what make this book better than a straight biography. In these pages are stories; I have heard many times told by my grandparents, parents, and then some from my sisters & I that we have been a part of. My grandparents & parents were born and raised in Eastern Kentucky around Irishman Creek, and the holler dad lived in was known as Booger Town; now wait; that name is no worse than Possum Trot or Hog Holler which are real places as well. Allot of good stories come from my family as they worked hard to cut out a living in Eastern Kentucky. My short stories begin during the Great Depression Era; which begin with my grandparents, Fields & Mullins families. Dad/Bud was born in 1936, and mom/Fronia in 1940. They got the tail end feel of the Great Depression Era. However, this is a book of short stories of events that are funny, scary, and adventurous only two chapters out of 25 can be called part of a short biography; while the rest are for fun. Follow the exploits of Monroe, Mae, Newt, Lizzie, Bud & Fronia as well as other family members as the stories unfold; feel free to laugh out loud.

Download or read book Kentucky Straight written by Chris Offutt and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-04-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kentucky straight is bourbon with no mixer. Kentucky Straight is Kentucky seen without nostalgic gloss. These riveting, often heartbreaking stories, take us through country that is unmapped. They are set in a nameless Appalachian community too small to be called a town, a place where wanting an education is a mark of ungodly arrogance and dowsing for water a legitimate occupation; where hunting is not a sport but a means of survival. These are stories of coal miners and backwoods medicine men, of gamblers and marijuana farmers, tales of real tragedy and unutterable strangeness that convey their sense of place so vividly that we feel its ground rise beneath our feet. Offutt has received a James Michener Grant and a Kentucky Arts Council Award.

Book Synopsis Let's Pretend This Never Happened by : Jenny Lawson
Download or read book Let's Pretend This Never Happened written by Jenny Lawson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.

Book Synopsis Paying Homage by : Paul F. Camenisch
Download or read book Paying Homage written by Paul F. Camenisch and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul F. Camenisch, living and working near Chicago, finally succumbs to a growing need to visit the place where he was born and raised. So he hits the road for Boyle County and Lincoln County, Kentucky, to spend time with his uncle Richard and to position himself deep inside his family's history. In the late nineteenth century, the Christian and Anna Camenisch family emigrated from Switzerland to settle almost two hundred acres of American soil. Paul revisits this farm and surrounding areas-where he played, worked, learned, and grew. Dusty attics, musty courthouse archives, three cemeteries, old newspapers, interviews with other relatives, and late-night talks with Richard under his grandfather's tree weave the tapestry that depicts his family's immigration and proliferation over nearly a century. This memoir chronicles one family's growth during a period when the nation was still coming into its own, culminating in Paul's own journey through life and his decision to write this book. With it, he pays homage to the hard-working, honest extended families who helped found the culture and society we still enjoy today. It's a revealing tribute to the beautiful, heart-breaking, and extraordinary moments in what is most typically known as ordinary life.

Download or read book Mitch, Please! written by Matt Jones and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller about how Mitch McConnell has been bad for Kentucky—and why he needs to be voted out of office from the founder of Kentucky Sports Radio and attorney Matt Jones. They say all politics is local. In 2020, Mitch McConnell will have served five full terms as a US Senator. Thirty years. The Senate Majority leader’s power is as undeniable as it is infuriating, and the people of Kentucky have had enough. Led by Matt Jones, they (and they alone) have the power to oust him from office. How did Jones, a local boy turned attorney turned sports radio host come to shine the brightest light on McConnell’s ineptitude? Simple—he knows Kentucky inside and out, and has used the state’s love of sports as an entry point for showcasing how McConnell has failed his fellow citizens both economically and socially for three decades. Entertaining, maddening, yet ultimately inspiring, these stories from Kentuckians in each of its 120 counties illustrate the Senate Majority leader’s stunning shortcomings. “Jones employs a sharp, political scalpel eviscerating McConnell…[and this book is] an effective combination of description and vivisection” (Kirkus Reviews). Jones brings his trademark wit and wisdom throughout the book, while also offering a beautiful portrait of a state with arguably the most untapped potential in our country. Ultimately, the white-hot hatred for McConnell on the coasts is just white noise. Only the people of Kentucky can remove him from office. Here, Matt Jones demonstrates he has the influence, charisma, and institutional knowledge to lead the charge. He and his fellow Kentuckians have had enough—and they’re ready for a fight.
