Book Description
Nick Somebody once said we don't decide who we love. The world decides for us. But I disagree. I believe love is a decision. Who we love, how we love. It's in our control--in our hands. I grew up having no clue about the true meaning of love. Money. Cars. Houses. Status. Fame. That's what love means to the people around me. It wasn't until the woman I picked up in a bar came back into my life and showed me love can be so much more. So, what's the problem? The woman I'm falling in love with believes in fairytales. She compares everything to a storybook and wants the happily-ever-after. So while she's stuck on recreating stories that have already been told, page by page, I'm showing her it's time we write our own book. Nobody ever said the journey of falling in love would be easy, just that it would be worth it.

Isn't it time there was a fairy tale aimed at girls and women who wear hiking boots, don't comb their hair, and love pick-up trucks? The prince in this story wants to marry a real mountain princess, so he searches all the mountain ranges in the world? looking in the Sierras for women in tiaras, and at Glass Mountain for ladies wearing just one shoe. He ends up going home alone, only to be found by a princess who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to set out into the world on her own to find it. The Princess and the Pick-up Truck is a modern retelling of The Princess and the Pea, but with an Appalachian, or at least rural, slant.Bil's inspiration:We all know what happens when a princess kisses a frog, but what happens when a prince kisses a fraud?I was driving a winding West Virginia road with my teenage daughter, and in front of us was a pickup truck with several mattresses heaped haphazardly in the bed. I said to my daughter, "Do you think you could sleep on that? "My daughter has mastered teen sarcasm, but she's not nasty about it. She is one of the absolute funniest people I know. She twisted her bangs in her fingers, smacked her imaginary gum, and said saccharinely, "Of course I could, Daddy. I'm a princess!" And this story was born."The Princess and the Pickup Truck...is perfect for princesses who prefer hiking boots." -LA Parenting Magazine

Mount Vernon Love Story
Author: Mary Higgins Clark
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1471103617
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Always a lover of history, Mary Higgins Clark wrote this extensively researched biographical novel and titled it Aspire to the Heavens, after the motto of George Washington's mother. Published in 1969, the book was more recently discovered by a Washington family descendant and reissued as Mount Vernon Love Story. Dispelling the widespread belief that although George Washington married Martha Dandridge Custis, he reserved his true love for Sally Carey Fairfax, his best friend's wife, Mary Higgins Clark describes the Washington marriage as one full of tenderness and passion, as a bond between two people who shared their lives -- even the bitter hardship of a winter in Valley Forge -- in every way. In this author's skilled hands, the history, the love, and the man come fully and dramatically alive.
