Sinopse

In "The Land of Frozen Suns," Bertrand W. Sinclair crafts a captivating narrative set against the backdrop of the early 20th century Alaskan frontier. The novel vividly portrays the interplay between the harsh, unforgiving landscape and the resilient spirit of its inhabitants, employing a literary style that blends rich, evocative descriptions with a deep psychological exploration of characters facing moral dilemmas. Sinclair'Äôs thematic exploration of survival and human connection amidst isolation resonates powerfully, reflecting the broader cultural tensions of the era, particularly concerning the clash between civilization and wilderness. Bertrand W. Sinclair, a notable figure in American literature, drew upon his own experiences as a prospector and adventurer in the Alaskan territory to inform the narrative. His familiarity with the region'Äôs rugged beauty and inherent dangers imbues the text with an authentic sense of place and atmosphere. Sinclair's insights into the human condition, formed through his encounters and observations of frontier life, lend depth to his portrayal of both individual and collective struggles. This novel is a must-read for enthusiasts of early American literature and those captivated by tales of exploration and human endurance. Sinclair'Äôs masterful storytelling invites readers into a world where the beauty of the natural landscape contrasts sharply with the internal and external conflicts faced by those daring enough to call it home, making it a poignant reflection on resilience.

    AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
      
    Sometimes love is just out of reach … 
      
    Rancher and military veteran J.P. McCall loves simple pleasures. The satisfaction of working his family’s land. The freedom to come and go as he pleases. But ever since his two closest friends have married and started families of their own, J.P. realizes what he’s been missing. He's known plenty of women, but now he craves finding The One. And then Sara Worth comes crashing back into his life. She’s his buddy’s sister, the woman who was always out of reach. 
      
    Single mom Sara Worth has her hands full. After a disastrous early marriage, she is now writing bestselling books by day and caring for her two teenagers by night. That doesn’t leave a lot of me time. But when an innocent request for J.P.’s help leads to an unforgettable kiss, she’s intrigued—and unsure. Giving love a second chance feels impossible. But when the man from Sara’s past resurfaces, threatening everything she holds dear, J.P. will do whatever it takes to protect the woman who’s stealing his heart.

    “Do the wise thing and the kind thing too, and make the best of us and not the worst.”“Now, what I want is Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts; nothing else will ever be of any service to them.”― Charles Dickens, Hard TimesHard Times is the tenth novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1854. The book surveys English society and satirizes the social and economic conditions of the era.Hard Times is unusual in several ways. It is by far the shortest of Dickens's novels, barely a quarter of the length of those written immediately before and after it. Moreover, it is his only novel not to have scenes set in London. Instead, the story is set in the fictitious Victorian industrial Coketown, a generic Northern English mill-town.The story concerns one Thomas Gradgrind, a "fanatic of the demonstrable fact," who raises his children, Tom and Louisa, in a stifling and arid atmosphere of grim practicality.

    The New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday and The Ways We Hide shines a light on shocking events surrounding Portland's dark history in this gripping novel of love, lore, and betrayal.  
      
    She came from a lineage known for good fortune … by those who don't know the whole story.  
      
    Oregon, 1888. Amid the subterranean labyrinth of Portland's notorious Shanghai Tunnels, a woman awakens in an underground cell, drugged and disguised. Celia soon realizes she's a "shanghaied" victim on the verge of being shipped off as forced labor, leaving behind those she loves most. Although well accustomed to adapting for survival—being half-Chinese, passing as white during an era fraught with anti-Chinese sentiment—she fears that far more than her own fate hangs in the balance. 
      
    As she pieces together the twisting path that led to her abduction, from serving as a maid for the family of a dubious mayor to becoming entwined in the case of a goldminers' massacre, revelations emerge of a child left in peril. Desperate, Celia must find a way to escape and return to a place where unearthed secrets could prove deadlier than the dark recesses of Chinatown. 
      
    A captivating tale of resilience and hope, The Girls of Good Fortune explores the complexity of family and identity, the importance of stories that echo through generations, and the power of strength found beneath the surface.
