Sinopse

An Eye for an Eye is a novel by Anthony Trollope. Fred Neville, a lieutenant of cavalry and heir to the earldom of Scroope, woos and then seduces the beautiful Kate O’Hara. Kate lives with her mother in genteel poverty in an isolated cottage near the cliffs of Moher in western Ireland. News of the romantic entanglement quickly reaches Scroope Manor, and Fred is summoned back to Dorsetshire where the earl extracts a firm undertaking that Fred will not marry Kate O’Hara under any circumstances, despite any promises he has made to the girl. Once back in Ireland, Fred is confronted at his barracks by Mrs. O’Hara, demanding to know when he intends to marry her daughter, who is carrying his baby. He is shamed into agreeing to visit Kate, but that evening word arrives that the old Earl has died, and that Fred is now the Earl of Scroope. Fred realizes that marriage to Kate O’Hara is out of the question as her background would make her quite unacceptable in society. He resolves to confront Mrs. O’Hara and her unfortunate daughter. The climax of the novel takes place between the young earl and Mrs. O’Hara on the cliffs above the cottage.

Seeing Johnny Rokkets

Philip A. McClimon

Hey, you! Yeah, you, looking for a wild ride through a zombie-infested world with a heart-pounding, soul-stirring twist? Buckle up for Seeing Johnny Rokkets, a story that’s equal parts gritty adventure and tender hope, with a rock ‘n’ roll heartbeat that’ll keep you hooked!
Meet Sarah Burrows, a sixteen-year-old with the weight of the world—or at least a ragtag group of misfit kids—on her shoulders. She’s holed up in the Peaceful Acres Psychiatric Center, not exactly a five-star resort, trying to keep her little sister, Misty, and a crew of quirky teens safe from the zombie apocalypse. There’s Jordan, the self-proclaimed psychic with a flair for drama; Alvin, the brainy investigator who overthinks everything; Barton, the tough guy with a soft spot; and Zach, the pessimist who’s always ready for the worst. Together, they’re a dysfunctional family, each wrestling with their own fears and quirks, but bound by a fierce loyalty.
The real kicker? Misty’s obsessed with finding Johnny Rokkets, the legendary rock star her dad swore was still alive, hiding out in his Memphis mansion. Sarah’s not so sure—Johnny’s probably a zombie by now, right? But when Misty’s belief in Johnny becomes her lifeline, Sarah decides to lead this motley crew on a dangerous road trip to Rokkland. Cue epic showdowns with zombie hordes, a run-in with a grizzled survivalist named Old Man Pepper, and a truck packed with enough firepower to make action-movie heroes jealous.
From heart-stopping escapes to laugh-out-loud banter, this journey is about more than reaching Memphis—it’s about finding hope in a broken world, facing fears, and discovering that sometimes, the craziest dreams are worth chasing. Will they find Johnny Rokkets? Will he be the savior Misty believes in? Or will the zombies—or their own doubts—tear them apart? Grab your headphones and dive into Seeing Johnny Rokkets—it’s a story that rocks as hard as it loves!
