Beschreibung

The seamless process of presenting Ann's life is uncanny yet becomes one of deep and personal involvement for the reader.This is a story of a strong lady who would hold anyone accountable and fight against any injustice she encountered. Racism and bigotry were very prevalent throughout our country during the eras that she lived.During those eras, corrupt politicians were abundant, much like today, and Ann Browne would not tolerate their behavior.The small towns presented are just a small example of ones experienced by the author throughout his life. Describing himself as a South Texas Country Boy, our writer brings the language and daily life into this well-written story without effort. Many of the "Boom and Bust" accounts written about were real, and the craziness that each created was very much experienced by our writer. The life story of this amazing lady is one of sadness, high living, and tragedy, which presents a stalwart personality of adventure and unconditional love.The reader of Ann's story will not forget or be left without an emotional attachment to her and her life story.

    Brant Taylor has no plans to settle down anytime soon. 
    He's just now finding his place in Corporate America and is on the fast track at his father's company, Taylor Toys. Brant's social calendar is overflowing with possibilities. As the Plant Manager, Brant is tasked with selecting the candidates for the summer intern program for college students who may want a future with the company. But when Brant is forced to hire his younger sister and her friend for the program, his extracurricular activities are curtailed due to their antics, which seriously push his limit, and he's none too happy about it. 
    His sister's best friend, Delilah Mayfield (who Brant nicknamed "Pudge" when they were kids) has always had a mouth on her, for as long as he can remember. But her attitude isn't the only thing that has developed over the past few years, and Brant has taken notice. Typically, she is nowhere near the type of girl to pose a distraction for Brant—he prefers them svelte and sweet, and Delilah is neither of those things—she's so much more. 
    Still, he finds she's a distraction he just doesn't need. Will Brant be able to ignore his attraction to his little sister's best friend, or will his job suffer?

    Second Childhood by Clifford D. Simak - Achieving immortality is only half of the problem. The other half is knowing how to live with it once it's been made possible—and inescapable! 
    You did not die. 
    There was no normal way to die. 
    You lived as carelessly and as recklessly as you could and you hoped that you would be lucky and be accidentally killed. 
    You kept on living and you got tired of living. 
    "God, how tired a man can get of living!" Andrew Young said. 
    John Riggs, chairman of the immortality commission, cleared his throat. 
    "You realize," he said to Andrew Young, "that this petition is a highly irregular procedure to bring to our attention." 
    He picked up the sheaf of papers off the table and ruffled through them rapidly. 
    "There is no precedent," he added. 
    "I had hoped," said Andrew Young, "to establish precedent." 
    Commissioner Stanford said, "I must admit that you have made a good case, Ancestor Young. Yet you must realize that this commission has no possible jurisdiction over the life of any person, except to see that everyone is assured of all the benefits of immortality and to work out any kinks that may show up." 
    "I am well aware of that," answered Young, "and it seems to me that my case is one of the kinks you mention." 
    He stood silently, watching the faces of the members of the board. They are afraid, he thought. Every one of them. Afraid of the day they will face the thing I am facing now. They have sought an answer and there is no answer yet except the pitifully basic answer, the brutally fundamental answer that I have given them. 
    "My request is simple," he told them, calmly. "I have asked for permission to discontinue life."

    There once was a town where nothing ever happened—until, one day, it did. 
    Corinthia, the librarian of Shadow Ridge, doesn’t fall for mysterious strangers. She doesn’t go for long walks in the woods. And she most certainly does not believe in magic. 
    She has her books, her rescued hound, and her Cabinet of Chocolate—everything she needs for a cozy evening alone, thank you very much. 
    But when a bet with her best friend leads to a hike in the maze-like nature preserve behind the Shadow Ridge Library, she meets a mysterious woman who challenges everything she thought she knew about her town, her destiny, and her heart. 
    She doesn’t believe in magic… but magic believes in her.

    Can a rundown bookmobile be the vehicle that brings two unlikely hearts together?  
      
    Little Creek's bookmobile is more of a death trap on wheels than a vehicle of literary delights, and circulation librarian Hayley Holt is afraid it's going to careen down a mountainside with her in it. Yet she sees it as a way to serve her community and be worthy of the liver transplant that saved her life as a child. However, her fears come true when the bookmobile breaks down and a rockslide traps her in the small hollow of Turkey Grove. 
      
    Reclusive mechanic Levi Redding lives in tiny Turkey Grove to get away from people. He can handle getting the bookmobile running again, but the endless chatter and unsettling touches from the vibrant librarian leave him overstimulated. When forced proximity leads to a misunderstanding, a note of apology begins an epistolary friendship, proving that sometimes the happiest of endings aren't contained within the bindings of a book.  
      
    "I can always count on Sarah Monzon for romance that makes me swoon and inspiring stories that keep me fully engaged."—BETHANY TURNER, author of Cole and Laila Are Just Friends: A Love Story  
      
    Sarah Monzon pens a charming contemporary rom-com for fans of books about books, the forced-proximity and grumpy-sunshine tropes, and pen-pal romances. Fans of Melissa Ferguson and Pepper Basham will find this no-spice, heartwarming love story magnetic.
