Kirby will have to stand strong during a major catastrophe that could tear her family apart once again.
Download or read book The Best of Me written by David Sedaris and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Genius… It is miraculous to read these pieces… You must read The Best of Me.” —Andrew Sean Greer, New York Times Book Review A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice A CNN and Christian Science Monitor Best Book of the Month For more than twenty-five years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to read without laughing. Now, for the first time collected in one volume, the author brings us his funniest and most memorable work. In these stories, Sedaris shops for rare taxidermy, hitchhikes with a lady quadriplegic, and spits a lozenge into a fellow traveler’s lap. He drowns a mouse in a bucket, struggles to say “give it to me” in five languages, and hand-feeds a carnivorous bird. But if all you expect to find in Sedaris’s work is the deft and sharply observed comedy for which he became renowned, you may be surprised to discover that his words bring more warmth than mockery, more fellow-feeling than derision. Nowhere is this clearer than in his writing about his loved ones. In these pages, Sedaris explores falling in love and staying together, recognizing his own aging not in the mirror but in the faces of his siblings, losing one parent and coming to terms—at long last—with the other. Taken together, the stories in TheBest of Me reveal the wonder and delight Sedaris takes in the surprises life brings him. No experience, he sees, is quite as he expected—it’s often harder, more fraught, and certainly weirder—but sometimes it is also much richer and more wonderful. Full of joy, generosity, and the incisive humor that has led David Sedaris to be called “the funniest man alive” (Time Out New York), The Best of Me spans a career spent watching and learning and laughing—quite often at himself—and invites readers deep into the world of one of the most brilliant and original writers of our time.

Book excerpt: “[Readers] are bound to be caught up in the adventures of Bess Crawford . . . While her sensibility is as crisp as her narrative voice, Bess is a compassionate nurse who responds with feeling.”— The New York Times Book Review In the uneasy peace following World War I, nurse Bess Crawford runs into trouble and treachery in Ireland—in this twelfth book in the New York Times bestselling mystery series. The Great War is over—but in Ireland, in the wake of the bloody 1916 Easter Rising, anyone who served in France is now considered a traitor, including nurse Eileen Flynn and former soldier Michael Sullivan, who only want to be married in the small, isolated village where she grew up. Even her grandmother is against it, and Eileen’s only protection is her cousin Terrence who was a hero of the Rising and is still being hunted by the British. Bess Crawford had promised to be there for the wedding. And in spite of the danger to her, she keeps that promise—only to be met with the shocking news that the groom has vanished. Eileen begs for her help, but how can Bess hope to find him when she doesn’t know the country, the people, or where to put her trust? Time is running out, for Michael and for Bess herself, and soon her own life is on the line. With only an Irish outlaw and a man being hunted for murder on her side, how can she possibly save herself, much less stop a killer?

Download or read book Randy's Way written by Thomas Gill and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Randy's Way is a must read for anyone interested in studying the lives of real-life heroes and heroines and learning how they earned their titles. The book tells the story of a dynamic, "high potential" Marine Corps officer who selflessly exchanged his quality of life for a role in the Gulf War and who, in so doing, began to cultivate a closer, hand-in-hand walk with God. Kim, Randy's wife of three years at the time, never wavered in her devotion to Randy, even when given the devastating news that her gifted and athletic husband had contracted ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) as a result of the Gulf War's toxic cocktail. The epic account of events leading up to that life-altering moment and the twenty-five years that followed gives new meaning to the phrase, "courage under fire." Enjoy this inspiring example of how to keep ones faith strong while being faithful and resilient as a husband and father, in spite of overwhelming challenges. Set in the quaint resort town of Emerald Isle, North Carolina, this true story illustrates how people can overcome any challenge through faith in God. Chocked full of humorous and serious anecdotes covering nearly fifty years, readers will be inspired by how the residents of this small town on the southern Outer Banks band together to ensure Randy, Kim, Nicole and Kyle are included in all aspects of the island community. Randy's Way is a tribute to the heroic lives the entire Hebert family have lived since coming face-to-face with this debilitating disease nearly twenty-five years ago.
Book Synopsis A World of Dreams: Scots-Irish Short Stories and Poems by : Gardiner M. Weir
Download or read book A World of Dreams: Scots-Irish Short Stories and Poems written by Gardiner M. Weir and published by PublishAmerica. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These short stories are set primarily in the farmland of County Antrim in Northern Ireland during the author’s youth in the nineteen forties and fifties, though there are related stories set in the U.S. and Canada. County Antrim has strong residual connections to Scotland that are reflected in the manner of speech and in the social values that the author experienced during his youth - hard work, religious belief and valuing family connections. Long before television entered the home, family and neighborhood get-togethers were common, often around a hearth-fire, especially in winter. An exchange of comment kept everyone abreast of happenings in the area though that often tripped into friendly gossip, especially of those whose life’s escapades set them apart from the accepted norm. The very human lives of these wholesome people, their sorrow, happiness, humor and futility are picturesquely captured in the author’s sensitive, homespun stories.
Book Synopsis The Black Emerald by : Jeanne Thornton
Download or read book The Black Emerald written by Jeanne Thornton and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. LGBTQIA Studies. A high schooler finds her drawings corrupted by a haunted stone she inherits from a suicidal underground cartoonist. A video game addict discovers a vast, hidden dimension to colonize in the walls of his girlfriend's apartment. A philosophy student seeks anonymous Craigslist sex with the ubiquitous devil that stalks her. In this short fiction collection from Jeanne Thornton, author of The Dream of Doctor Bantam (a Lambda Literary Award finalist), reality and relationships blur, creating a queer pulp experience with a literary sensibility, a hallucinatory journey into despair... and, possibly, toward hope. "The gorgeousness of Thornton's writings help sustain the worlds she creates... That's the kind of seductiveness these stories have. In reading them, you become strange and dreamy in the same way they are."--Torrey Peters "Jeanne has this way of writing self-consciousness inside these perfect, self-contained worlds with signifiers that make them seem like they are the world we live in but if that world were... I don't even know exactly. Mystifying and uncomfortable and bulging with complicated, contradictory feeling just below the surface of everything."--Imogen Binnie
