Book excerpt: THE SLUM TRILOGY, BOOK TWO "Life turns on a dime," Robbie says in the final paragraphs of Book One-and the pages of Book Two fulfill his clichéd statement in ways he never could've foreseen. Little did they know they'd be dealing with the cold blooded murder of one of Julianna's employees, the fiery death of her brother, fear and hunger, and Julianna's near rape, as the island is thrown into turmoil. As Robbie's headquarters and Julianna's General Store become engulfed in flames, and the entire slum finds itself in a state of panic, Robbie must confront the reality of an island convulsed in unexpected upheaval, while at the same time support and comfort Julianna who struggles to bring life into a world that knows only death. Love, passion, and hope drive Slum Song: Disaster in the Wind-a fast-paced adventure which takes twists and turns to the point where Robbie and Julianna have difficulty holding onto the life they've built, but a life which thrusts them into a new beginning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We find 'passion' in each story-not only the passion of love, but also lust, infatuation, fury, and self-determination. In the first story, JULIANNA, we find the roots of "The Slum Trilogy" which launched the author into becoming a prize-winning novelist. In CARESSE, we learn how an artist is overtaken by lust who tragically ends up with more than what she wanted. In HOLDING HANDS we find that 'puppy love' or infatuation can be an experience as powerful as full-blown love. Here a Moslem-influenced teenager arrives in New York from Abekestan and is exposed to a one-on-one encounter with a boy for the first time in her life. In PURGE we meet Emily, a sixty-five-year-old woman who has lived a life of fury, but who ends up realizing that only the experience of love can bring happiness. Finally, in CHRISTMAS TEARS, we follow a six-year-old girl, Millie, who emerges from a life of parental abuse to the realization that she can develop her own personal inner strength.

He shuns a carpentry career and embarks upon the study of philosophy to seek truth in everyday existence. He lives in a rustic cabin with no electricity on a lake in Maine, but becomes intrigued by a waitress named Cosette, and together they tour Canada, having no idea who will be waiting for them after they get back-Brendan's wife. She attacks Cosette in a bloody catfight which lands Cosette in the hospital.

Book excerpt: THE SLUM TRILOGY, BOOK THREE Eight people narrowly escape death on a revolutionary island by fleeing to America in a small plane. One person, though, is intentionally left behind because he had naively thought he wanted to be part of the revolution. But he was wrong. Sergeant Gabino realized too late that he should've been on the escape plane with the others, as his life as a soldier became in peril due to his crazy, neurotic general. As Robbie, Julianna, baby Vic, Alba, Mama, Natalia, Lucita, and Chris try to adjust to America (some successfully, others disastrously), a communication blockade sets in. They could no longer talk with Gabino, whom they last knew as desperately wanting to get away from his neurotic general, fearing for his life. A rescue of Gabino is impossible because the revolution raged. But when a dangerous, long-shot chance presents itself, Robbie fearfully returns to the island to see if he could locate the naïve soldier, Gabino, and bring him to America to join the people he loved.

Book Synopsis The Mountain of the Women by : Liam Clancy
Download or read book The Mountain of the Women written by Liam Clancy and published by Crown. This book was released on 2002-02-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an irresistible tale of a life lived fully, if not always wisely, Liam Clancy, of the legendary Irish group the Clancy Brothers, describes his eventful journey from a small town in Ireland in the 1930s into the heart of the New York music scene in the 1950s and ’60s. Following in the grand tradition of such Irish memoirs as Angela’s Ashes and Are You Somebody?, Liam Clancy relates his life’s story in a raucously funny and star-studded account of moving from provincial Ireland to the bars and clubs of New York City, to the cusp of fame as a member of Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers. Born in 1935, the eleventh out of as many children, young Liam was a naive and innocent lad of the Old Country. His memories of childhood include bounding over hills, streams, and the occasional mountain, getting lost, and eventually found, and making mischief in the way of a typical Irish boy. As an aimless nineteen-year-old, Clancy met a strange and wonderfully energetic lover of music, Ms. Diane Guggenheim, an American heiress. She and a colleague from America had set out to record regional Irish folk music, and their undertaking led them to Carrick-on-Suir in the shadow of Slievenamon, "The Mountain of the Women," where Mammie Clancy had been known to carry a tune or two in her kitchen. Guggenheim fell for young Liam and swept him along on her travels through the British Isles, the American Appalachians, and finally Greenwich Village, the undisputed Mecca for aspiring artists of every ilk in the late 1950s. Clancy was in New York to become an actor. But on the side, he played and sang with his brothers, Paddy and Tom, and fellow countryman Tommy Makem, in pubs like the legendary White Horse Tavern. In the heady atmosphere of the Village, Clancy’s life was a party filled with music, sex, and McSorley’s. His friendships with then-unknown artists such as Bob Dylan, Maya Angelou, Robert Redford, Lenny Bruce, Pete Seeger and Barbra Streisand form the backdrop of the charming adventures of a small-town boy making it big in the biggest of cities. In music circles, the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem are known as the Beatles of Irish music. The band’s music continues to play on jukeboxes in pubs and bars, in living rooms of folk music fans, and in Irish American homes throughout the country. Liam Clancy’s lively memoir captures their wild adventures on the road to fame and fortune, and brings to life a man who never lets himself off the hook for his sins, and happily views his success as a blessing.
