It’s been tough for her to be passed from one foster home to another after being left behind by her biological mother Becky but she’s got both soft and tough heart to let her fight back despite always watching over her Mom Star, Dad Star, Emma Star and Boyfriend Star to come and meet her. “Sutton’s dead,” says the note and Emma has to play her role or else she’ll be dead too but you know what, I love Emma more than Sutton because she’s wiser and she knows how to play the right way.

It was a cowardly war where more people died away from the front than on the battlefield. A third of all monks in the Republican zone also died. Two-thirds of the clergy in the Catalan province of Lleida were killed. Nor does he ignore the undoubted cruelty and the crimes committed on the Republican side of a three-year civil war sparked by a 1936 military rightist uprising against an elected government. He does not shy away from strong words – "holocaust" is deliberately chosen to describe the extent of cold-blooded killing "because its resonances with systematic murder should be evoked in the Spanish case, as they are in those of Germany or Russia". Preston provides facts, figures and harrowing descriptions in the first full and proper attempt to explain the horror. One of the many remarkable things about this narrative of butchery is, indeed, how it proves Garzón's central accusation – that Franco enacted a ruthless plan involving the "detention, torture, forced disappearance and physical elimination of thousands of people for political and ideological motives … a state of affairs that continued, to greater or lesser extent, after the civil war ended". It is also a damning indictment of Franco's deliberate and far-reaching brutality, which destroys the myth cherished by some Spaniards that he was a "soft" dictator. The result is an essential read for anyone wishing to understand Spain and its recent history. That is what Paul Preston, a leading British hispanicist and highly respected historian in Spain, has done in The Spanish Holocaust. 5/22/2023 0 Comments Zen shorts bookWith graceful art and simple stories that are filled with love and enlightenment, Jon Muth - and Stillwater the bear - present three ancient Zen tales that are sure to strike a chord in everyone they touch. And to Karl he demonstrates what it means to hold on to frustration. She focuses on writing from a Zen meditation viewpoint. Goldberg has a relaxed, encouraging style. To Michael he pushes the boundaries of good and bad. This makes the advice and techniques described in the book (which is comprised of 64 short essays on various themes) more about the mindfulness and theory of thinking like a writer than the nuts and bolts of actually writing. To Addy he tells a story about the value of material goods. This is how three children meet Stillwater, a giant panda who moves into the neighborhood and tells amazing tales. There's a really big bear in the backyard. 5/22/2023 0 Comments West with the wind beryl markhamIn 1928, while pregnant with Gervase, she entered into an affair with Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester – known informally as Harry – the son of George V, who became besotted with her during his trip to Kenya.

I had learned much about the pain of grief and the joy of new life. The world had changed drastically, and I had become a different writer. Such has always been my method: I don’t outline or plan, preferring to follow the lead of my characters as they plunge into the unknown, guided by nothing but faith in their own ideals and the competence to realize them.Īlthough the Dandelion Dynasty was originally conceived of as a trilogy, I hit a snag after finishing The Grace of Kings and The Wall of Storms. When I first started the Dandelion Dynasty more than a decade ago, I didn’t know how the story would end except for a few stark scenes, lit harshly and seen but briefly, like distant islands glimpsed through a storm. 5/21/2023 0 Comments The Lost Village by Camilla StenAs we learn why each crew member came to Silvertjärn, we also see the mystery unfold piece by piece as the story alternates between past and present until both converge in a horrifying face-off. Strong characters with complex inner lives drive the story – the weight and context of their individual histories creates wonderfully compelling tension between them. The haunted house/haunted town idea isn’t new, but Camilla Sten makes it feel fresh. They quickly realize they aren’t alone and end up fighting for their lives against evil forces that still lie in wait. The Lost Village is a mystery, a survival story, and a dark homage to haunting – not just the haunting of abandoned mining village Silvertjärn, nestled deep in the forest of Sweden, but also how we find ourselves haunted by the past, our ancestors, and our own minds.Īlice, a filmmaker whose single goal is to solve the mystery of Silvertjärn, brings a documentary crew to the village to try and discover why all the residents disappeared in 1959. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Now I See You by Nicole C. KearAs her world grows blurred, one thing becomes clear: no matter how hard she fights, she won't win the battle against blindness. Her secret, though, is harder to surrender - and as her vision deteriorates, harder to keep hidden. When Kear becomes a mother, just a few years shy of her vision's expiration date, she amends her carpe diem strategy, giving up recklessness in order to relish every moment with her kids. She joins circus school, tears through boyfriends, travels the world, andthrough all these hi-jinks, she keeps her vision loss a secret. Instead of making preparations as the doctor suggests, Kear decides to carpe diem and make the most of the vision she has left. She is going blind, courtesy of an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, and has only a decade or so before Lights Out. Kear's biggest concern is choosing a major-until she walks into a doctor's office in midtown Manhattan and gets a life-changing diagnosis. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Joseph blotnerYou don't hear contemporary writers or poets speaking about his impact on their writings, and neither his poetry nor his fiction (except for All the King's Men) is taught very much. Warren was a first-rate literary critic, and his books Understanding Poetry and Understanding Fiction remain intelligent, concise examinations.īut achievements don't necessarily translate into influence. He received the Pulitzer Prize in 1947 for the novel All the King's Men and in 1979 for the poetry collection Now and Then, and was a leading member of the Agrarians, who had some impact on Southern writing in the 1930s and 1940s. Warren (1905-1989) was a man of great talent: novelist, short-story writer, poet, essayist, biographer. Blotner, the author of a very fine biography of William Faulkner, states his own belief in the preface: "America's preeminent man of letters, master of genres, prodigiously creative, heavy with awards and prizes honoring his genius, Robert Penn Warren was also that rare being, a genuinely good man." So if Blotner can't be accused of being ambivalent about his subject, he does put himself in the position of convincing his readers of Warren's literary standing. |
