Book Description
Haunted by tragedy, a proud Cajun beauty and a dashing cavalry officer battle to forge a new life on the Texas frontier in this sweeping historical saga. Raised by her adoring father, Rachel Delys loves the woods and bayous of East Texas and intends to never leave their isolated home. But when her father dies and drunken neighbors murder her lover and attack Rachel, she takes shelter at a nearby plantation. Harry Bourne, owner of Gloryoak, treats Rachel with kindness and compassion, unaware that his missing brother, Tom, was one of her assailants. Rachel believes she will never feel passion again, but is so grateful for Harry’s protective love she marries him. When the third Bourne brother, Matt, returns to Gloryoak after fighting Apaches in Arizona, a dangerous attraction blazes between Rachel and the former soldier. Matt tries to cut his visit short, but an unthinkable tragedy irrevocably bonds him to Rachel and sends the pair on an eight-hundred-mile journey to a grassy valley in the Big Bend region of the Rio Grande. There they meet Guadalupe and her baby, Juan, the only survivors of a brutal raid on their Mexican border village. In a world of savage violence and austere grandeur, the four outcasts must rely on each other to succeed. Matt hires on at a nearby ranch, teaching the vaqueros how to fend off raiding Comanches, while Rachel and Lupe hunt for food and make adobe bricks to build a house. When the Civil War erupts and Matt is called to join the fight, the women bravely defend their fledging ranch from bandits. A riveting chronicle of adventure, romance, and intrigue, A Woman Clothed in Sun brings to life a fascinating chapter in American history and reveals the courage, stamina, and faith it took to survive those perilous times.

Book Description
"Somehow I woke up one day and found myself in bed with a stranger." Meant literally or figuratively, this statement describes one of the best-known plots in world mythology and popular storytelling. In a tour that runs from Shakespeare to Hollywood and from Abraham Lincoln to Casanova, the erudite and irrepressible Wendy Doniger shows us the variety, danger, and allure of the "bedtrick," or what it means to wake up with a stranger. The Bedtrick brings together hundreds of stories from all over the world, from the earliest recorded Hindu and Hebrew texts to the latest item in the Weekly World News, to show the hilariously convoluted sexual scrapes that people manage to get themselves into and out of. Here you will find wives who accidentally commit adultery with their own husbands. You will read Lincoln's truly terrible poem about a bedtrick. You will learn that in Hong Kong the film The Crying Game was retitled Oh No! My Girlfriend Has a Penis. And that President Clinton was not the first man to be identified by an idiosyncratic organ. At the bottom of these wonderful stories, ancient myths, and historical anecdotes lie the dynamics of sex and gender, power and identity. Why can't people tell the difference in the dark? Can love always tell the difference between one lover and another? And what kind of truth does sex tell? Funny, sexy, and engaging, The Bedtrick is a masterful work of energetic storytelling and dazzling scholarship. Give it to your spouse and your lover.

Book Description
Published in 1926 to explosive acclaim, The Sun Also Rises stands as perhaps the most impressive first novel ever written by an American writer. A roman à clef about a group of American and English expatriates on an excursion from Paris's Left Bank to Pamplona for the July fiesta and its climactic bull fight, a journey from the center of a civilization spiritually bankrupted by the First World War to a vital, God-haunted world in which faith and honor have yet to lose their currency, the novel captured for the generation that would come to be called “Lost” the spirit of its age, and marked Ernest Hemingway as the preeminent writer of his time.

Book Description
Following the battle of Culloden (1746), many Scots were captured and enslaved to work the mines of northern England. It took our family, a splinter of the Thompson clan, five generations to find freedom by fleeing to America and continuing west. This story, based on the memories of a family member, is a cohesive collage of literay non-fiction that picks up the journey in Western Canada during the First World War. To Shadow the Sun follows the trials and tribulations of four children from a pioneering family, as told in the narrative of the third child whose memoirs inspired this novel. The book opens in medias res and finds two family members in an intriguing predicament before readers are taken back to witness the unfolding story. After their mother dies, and with their father overseas fighting in the war, the children are sent to an Edmonton orphanage to fend for themselves. From the comfort of the family home to the bleak institutional life of the orphanage, they struggle to uphold their dying mother's request to look aftr each other and keep the family together. The contrast between the innocence of childhood and those that feed upon it, results in an emotional roller coaster ranging from heart-warming humour to heart-pounding suspense. It is a true drama that will appeal to fiction and non-fiction fans alike. It also provides an articulate glimpse of Canadian pioneering history, adding another brick to the great North American mosaic. A second novel, carrying the 'teen years' of the family, describes the continuing Thompson Saga and the hardships of prairie farming in the 1920s, as the boys are forced to flee their abusive father and seek thier own way to adulthood.
