Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
Allison Hong is not your typical fifteen-year-old Taiwanese girl. Unwilling to bend to the conditioning of her Chinese culture, which demands that women submit to men’s will, she disobeys her father’s demand to stay in their faith tradition, Buddhism, and instead joins the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Then, six years later, she drops out of college to serve a mission—a decision for which her father disowns her. After serving her mission in Taiwan, twenty-two-year-old Allison marries her Chinese-speaking American boyfriend, Cameron Chastain. But sixteen months later, Allison returns home to their Texas apartment and is shocked to discover that, in her two-hour absence, Cameron has taken all the money, moved out, and filed for divorce. Desperate for love and acceptance, Allison moves to Utah and enlists in an imaginary, unforgiving dating war against the bachelorettes at Brigham Young University, where the rules don’t make sense—and winning isn’t what she thought it would be.

Doomed Romance
Author: Christine Leigh Heyrman
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0525655581
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • A thwarted love triangle of heartbreak rediscovered after almost two hundred years—two men and a woman of equal ambition—that exploded in scandal and investigation, set between America's Revolution and its Civil War, revealing an age in subtle and powerful transformation, caught between the fight for women's rights and the campaign waged by evangelical Protestants to dominate the nation's culture and politics. From the winner of the Bancroft Prize and the Francis Parkman Prize in History. At its center—and the center of a love triangle—Martha Parker, a gifted young New England woman, smart, pretty, ambitious, determined to make the most of her opportunities, aspiring to become an educator and a foreign missionary. Late in 1825, Martha accepted a proposal from a schoolmaster, Thomas Tenney, only to reject him several weeks later for a rival suitor, a clergyman headed for the mission field, Elnathan Gridley. Tenney's male friends, deeply resentful of the new prominence of women in academies, benevolent and reform associations, and the mission field, decided to retaliate on Tenney's behalf by sending an anonymous letter to the head of the foreign missions board impugning Martha's character. Tenney further threatened Martha with revealing even more about their relationship, thereby ruining her future prospects as a missionary. The head of the board began an inquiry into the truth of the claims about Martha, and in so doing, collected letters, diaries, depositions, and firsthand witness accounts of Martha's character. The ruin of Martha Parker's hopes provoked a resistance within evangelical ranks over womanhood, manhood, and, surprisingly, homosexuality, ultimately threatening to destroy the foreign missions enterprise.

Book Description
A hundred years ago, most people in America lived on farms or in small towns. The farms were small by today's standards and were tended by a family. These farms were to a great extent self-sufficient. They had hogs, cattle, and chickens for meat, milk, and eggs, a garden and some fruit trees. They raised hay and grain to feed the livestock and planned for some surplus of grain or produce to buy the things they couldn't grow and to pay the taxes and mortgage. Horses, strong backs, and good neighbors powered these farms. The farm was more than a commercial venture; it was a lifestyle closely connected to the good earth. The towns were the centers of trade for the surrounding area. They provided the things that could not be grown on the farm and provided a market for the surpluses raised on the farm. Other than the rural one-room schools, they were the centers for education and they were the social center for the surrounding area. The town and farms were mutually dependent on each other and they also shared a close connection to the good earth. This was rural America and the values that were basic to these farms and towns were what made America great. Rural America inspired the American Dream. That dream included independence, freedom, and opportunity. It included a certain peace, serenity and satisfaction that came as a reward for honest effort. Contrary to today's concept of that dream, it was of middle class proportions. It did not include continuous expansion, but rather of a farm that a family could manage, payoff a mortgage, and have a little to help the next generation. The merchants in those small towns did not dream of supermarkets and malls, but rather a business that would support a comfortable home and lifestyle. Both were content with comfort and security rather than great wealth and luxury. Early rural America had a good work ethic. Most work was physically demanding and entailed a great deal of craftsmanship and society expected everyone to earn his keep. A certain amount of pride was the result of these expectations and laziness and poor workmanship were not acceptable. A good work ethic included honesty and integrity and in a small close knit community, a good reputation was very important. Rural America fostered strong family values. The whole family was needed to run the farm or business. These families worked together, ate together, and played together. As children, there were chores to do and responsibilities to be met. Meals required a great deal of preparation, so everyone ate at the same time. What today we label as entertainment was very scarce, so they played together in a spontaneous and unstructured way. There was the porch swing for summer evenings, board games and books for long winter evenings, and picnics for holidays. A strong family was almost necessary. Husbands needed good wives to maintain a good home. Wives needed good husbands to provide the physical strength needed on the farm or business. Children needed both parents to provide proper guidance and the necessities of life, because there were no institutions to do so, except as a last resort. Rural America was religious. Much education was based on the Scriptures, Bibles were in almost every home and weddings and funerals were of a religious nature. In many cases, the church was the social center of a community and Sunday was regarded as a day of rest, worship, and family fun. The influence of rural America was felt in the cities. Many in the cities had family roots in the country because parents, grandparents, or aunts and uncles still lived on a farm. Because of the great numbers in rural America, it was even a powerful political bloc. The industries and commerce in the cities coveted the work ethic, which was a way of life on the farm.

Book Description
What makes a romance novel a romance? How do you write a kissing book?Writing a well-structured romance isn't the same as writing any other genre-something the popular novel and screenwriting guides don't address. The romance arc is made up of its own story beats, and the external plot and theme need to be braided to the romance arc-not the other way around.Told in conversational (and often irreverent) prose, Romancing the Beat can be read like you are sitting down to coffee with romance editor and author Gwen Hayes while she explains story structure. The way she does with her clients. Some of whom are regular inhabitants of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.Romancing the Beat is a recipe, not a rigid system. The beats don't care if you plot or outline before you write, or if you pants your way through the drafts and do a "beat check" when you're revising. Pantsers and plotters are both welcome. So sit down, grab a cuppa, and let's talk about kissing books.
