Book Description
A wild fling in a small Southern town leads to a second chance at love in this contemporary romance by the USA Today bestselling author. Though divorce wasn’t easy for Melanie Ramsey, it hasn’t kept her down. She’s starting fresh in Haven, Georgia, helping her friends fix up the local airport. And with Mel’s Motivational Blog taking off, she’s not about to change course for any man—not even when a one-night stand with Haven’s gorgeous deputy, Tanner Roark, leaves her shaken, stirred, and pregnant. What matters most to Tanner: defending the weak, seeking justice, and protecting his heart after a tragic loss. He’s not looking for anything more than a hook up—until he meets Melanie. She’s resilient, straight-talking, and sexy as hell. The chemistry is there big time. Trust is a different story. But when you find the one who sends your heart soaring, what can you do except buckle up and hold on tight?

Glitter and Glue
Author: Kelly Corrigan
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345532856
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A memoir from the author of The Middle Place about mothers and daughters—a bond that can be nourishing, exasperating, and occasionally divine. When Kelly Corrigan was in high school, her mother neatly summarized the family dynamic as “Your father’s the glitter but I’m the glue.” This meant nothing to Kelly, who left childhood sure that her mom—with her inviolable commandments and proud stoicism—would be nothing more than background chatter for the rest of Kelly’s life, which she was carefully orienting toward adventure. After college, armed with a backpack, her personal mission statement, and a wad of traveler’s checks, she took off for Australia to see things and do things and Become Interesting. But it didn’t turn out the way she pictured it. In a matter of months, her savings shot, she had a choice: get a job or go home. That’s how Kelly met John Tanner, a newly widowed father of two looking for a live-in nanny. They chatted for an hour, discussed timing and pay, and a week later, Kelly moved in. And there, in that house in a suburb north of Sydney, 10,000 miles from the house where she was raised, her mother’s voice was suddenly everywhere, nudging and advising, cautioning and directing, escorting her through a terrain as foreign as any she had ever trekked. Every day she spent with the Tanner kids was a day spent reconsidering her relationship with her mother, turning it over in her hands like a shell, straining to hear whatever messages might be trapped in its spiral. This is a book about the difference between travel and life experience, stepping out and stepping up, fathers and mothers. But mostly it’s about who you admire and why, and how that changes over time. Praise for Glitter and Glue “I loved this book, I was moved by this book, and now I will share this book with my own mother—along with my renewed appreciation for certain debts of love that can never be repaid.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love “Kelly Corrigan’s thoughtful and beautifully rendered meditation invites readers to reflect on their own launchings and homecomings. I accepted the invitation and learned things about myself. You will, too. Isn’t that why we read?”—Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of We Are Water “Kelly Corrigan is no stranger to mining the depths of her heart. . . . Through her own experience of caring for children, she begins, for the first time, to appreciate the complex woman who raised her.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

In today’s uncertain times, as we maneuver our way through a pandemic and into years to come, we may find ourselves looking for guidance, inspiration, and encouragement to reach out to the One who can take us through all our unchartered waters.

She hopes you can see all these moments in the Word and discover some of your own over the course of the year.

Pages : 247
Book Description
Producing Women examines the ways femininity is produced through new media. Michele White considers how women are constructed, produce themselves as subjects, form vital production cultures on sites like Etsy, and deploy technological processes to reshape their identities and digital characteristics. She studies the means through which women market traditional female roles, are viewed, and produce and restructure their gendered, raced, eroticized, and sexual identities. Incorporating a range of examples across numerous forms of media—including trash the dress wedding photography, Internet how-to instructions about zombie walk brides, nail polish blogging, DIY crafting, and reborn doll production—Producing Women elucidates women’s production cultures online, and the ways that individuals can critically study and engage with these practices.

Juliet Hudson looks like spring. After all, she’s only eighteen years old and attending her first semester of university. Yet, even though Juliet’s eyes are clear and her heart as unspotted as the Virgin Goddess herself, she has her secrets. The least of which is that she loves darkness.
