The Ninth Year
Author: Ruth Jesness Tweed
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1435728831
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Ruth Tweed attended a one room school in West Central Minnesota. Memories of the rural thirties help bring her fictional Sally's experiences to life. Miles from the nearest town, County School District 13 is not only the school but also the focal point of the community. Sally, the oldest student, is a frustrated eighth grader. Ruth's first novel uses this background to picture education in an era that seems foreign to children today. Although it is hard for most of us to imagine country school, this book gives us a glimpse inside and will bring back memories to those who lived it. This is Ruth Jesness Tweed's third book. She previously published two books of poetry and short stories.

Pages : 176
Book Description
Teressa Diane Curtiss is seventeen years old, and her therapist thinks she has issues. People say she “used to be all right,” but that was before both her grandparents died within months of each other. Teressa really loses it, though, when the new girl at school walks right up to her lunch table and tells Teressa that she has taken her boyfriend. Teressa has no choice but to punch the girl, right? Her therapist says she should express herself more. Her best friend Helen says she’s reckless, doesn’t follow the rules, and takes advantage of God’s forgiveness. In response to all this, Teressa makes a decision. She tells her pastor and her therapist that she’s mad at God and waits for lightning to strike. When she isn’t immediately struck down, something insane happens. God chooses Teressa—the trouble-making, bad-boy-liking, disrespecting, and conflicted girl—to help someone. That someone is the new girl Teressa just punched. Things are about to get really interesting.

Book Description
Danny is a Polack with a heart of gold. He grew up in New City, home of what was once the world’s largest slaughterhouse, the Chicago Stockyards. After Danny’s wife’s infidelity, he stepped out of what the US calls the “white man's” world. Standing over six feet tall, with a chiseled body, he can fix anything from leaky pipes to broken hearts. New City becomes the target of gentrification. Danny owes more than $100,000 in taxes and fines on his house worth no more than $10,000. He knows it’s just a matter of time before he’s living on the streets or worse, in one of the city’s shelters. He and his next door neighbors decide to move to Greencastle, Indiana. Mountain, a simple-minded man, becomes Danny’s boarder. At seven, Mountain could squash two walnuts in one hand. He shares Danny’s dream. They scrap metal, pick up bottles, and do odd jobs to gather the $13,000 needed to purchase their country paradise. Lippatu, the eight-year old daughter of Danny’s neighbor Napoleon, is afflicted with Sickle Cell Disease. Her sage-like strength and wisdom provides an odd balance to the chaos of their lives. Unfortunately, an ambitious, badgering, City Revenue Agent, Burman, discovers the hidden Greencastle funds. He ends up dead and with Mountain’s freedom at stake, Danny must decide if he will make the ultimate sacrifice.

Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
"Funny, moving, and undeniably sexy. The heady blend of smart dialogue and characters. . .makes it a candidate to be the Angels in America of the Bush II decade."—San Francisco Chronicle "The two works [Angels in America and In the Wake] use a volatile chapter in American history as background in their exploration of how the sociopolitical maladies of an age play out in the personal conduct of characters."— Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times Lisa Kron, author of Broadway's Well and the OBIE-winning solo show 2.5 Minute Ride, has taken on the big question of our country's character. On the Thanksgiving after the controversial 2000 election, political junkie Ellen gathers with family and friends in her cramped New York apartment. But she soon discovers—with an unexpected passionate encounter—that ideas about America and our own selves are not as fixed as they once seemed. A play with plenty of humor and passion to go with its politics, Kron's work premiered last year at Berkeley Rep and Los Angeles' Center Theater Group, and debuted at The Public Theater in New York this fall. Lisa Kron's plays have been performed on Broadway, off-Broadway, and around the world. She is a founding member of the award-winning theater group The Five Lesbian Brothers, and teaches playwriting at Yale University.
