Book Description
Antonia Lucia Labella has two secrets: at fifteen, she's still waiting for her first kiss, and she wants to be a saint. An official one. Seem strange? Well, to Antonia, saints are royalty, and she wants her chance at being a princess. All her life she's kept company with these kings and queens of small favors, knowing exactly whom to pray to on every occasion. Unfortunately, the two events Antonia's prayed for seem equally unlikely to happen. It's not for lack of trying. For how long has she been hoping to gain the attention of the love of her life – the tall, dark, and so good-looking Andy Rotellini? Too long to mention. And every month for the last eight years, Antonia has sent a petition to the Vatican proposing a new patron saint and bravely offering herself for the post. So what if she's not dead? But as Antonia learns, in matters of the heart and sainthood, things are about as straightforward as wound-up linguini, and sometimes you need to recognize the signs.
JESUS SHOES
Author: Dominick DomingoPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0359929842
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Dripping with nostalgia, Jesus Shoes chronicles author Dominick Domingo's childhood in LA's San Fernando valley. Despite being next door to Tinseltown, Burbank was decidedly unromantic. This collection of memoirs takes the reader from the discovery of the author's sexual orientation in the late '70s through his time at Disney Feature, his live-action filmmaking stint and subsequent writing career, to the half-century mark. Its colorful characters make for a lot of laughs, and life itself provides the poignancy. The story is one of self-creation in defiance of society's negative messaging, and coming full circle to return to one's roots.

Book Description
Michelle Freeman: Strong-willed and opinionated: feisty, determined and independent. Knows what she wants and goes after it. Mavis: Michelles stepmother: lacks formal education but possesses a sharp intelligence and innate common sense. Grandma Miriam: Michelles maternal grandmother and matriarch of the Campbell family. Richard Armstrong: Tall, good-looking; dreadlocked. Entirely too sure of himself in Michelles opinion, but captures her heart anyway. Michelle Freeman, affectionately known as Shell or Shellie, was born in Jamaica but migrated to England with her parents at the age of three. At age thirteen her life is thrown into turmoil when she accidentally discovers that her fathers wife, whom she had always taken for granted as being her mother, is in fact, not. This shocking discovery leads her to begin a search for her biological mother. The search eventually takes her to Jamaica where she finds a large extended maternal family and develops a deep and abiding love for the island of her birth. After leaving school and university in London, where she studied journalism, Shellie decides to leave the UK and practise her profession in Jamaica. However, all is not plain sailing, as she encounters culture shock, prejudice and jealousy and comes to the realisation that her beloved island is not the idyllic paradise she had supposed it to be. Set in South London and on the beautiful island of Jamaica, the story spans seventeen years, following the fiery and feisty young woman through her teenage years, young love and tragedy, and into adulthood and more conflicts and clashes.
