Book Description
Take a step back into the dawn of suburban life. Revisit the era when mothers in print dresses performed the arcane ritual of mixing the colour dot into the margarine, fathers filled every room of the house in Weston with tobacco smoke, and all the riches of America were to be had by buying on time. Nothing you ever saw on Ozzie and Harriet' ever looked anything like this. East European immigrants to Toronto in the early fifties dreamed of the good life in the suburbs. But they did not have any money, so they put up an outhouse, dug a pit in a new subdivision, threw a roof over the hole, and lived there among the lawns and gardens of their neighbours whose imaginations were largely limited to asphalt driveways. Their neighbours were not amused. Buying on Time is a very funny and occasionally poignant look at growing up in the suburbs in the 1950s and '60s. This collection of linked stories follows an immigrant family as it fights to build a house and find a new life in Canada after World War II. At the heart of the stories is the Old Man, the irascible, insanely self-confident, pipe-smoking father who studies what he calls the English' with an incredulity that is wildly comic, and who marches into Eatons trailing sawdust in order to buy his depressed wife a new fur coat. His English is bad, and his religion is almost mediaeval, yet he has cunning and a zest for life, as well as a taste for Five Star Whisky.

Book Description
The emergence of Latin American firebrands who champion the cause of the impoverished and rail against the evils of neoliberalism and Yankee imperialism--Hugo Chávez in Venezuela, Evo Morales in Bolivia, Néstor Kirchner in Argentina, Andrés Manuel López Obrador in Mexico--has changed the landscape of the Americas in dramatic ways. This is the first biography to appear in English about one of these charismatic figures, who is known in his country by his adopted nickname of "Little Ray of Hope." The book follows López Obrador's life from his early years in the flyspecked state of Tabasco, his university studies, and the years that he lived among the impoverished Chontal Indians. Even as he showed an increasingly messianic élan to uplift the downtrodden, he confronted the muscular Institutional Revolutionary Party in running twice for governor of his home state and helping found the leftist-nationalist Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD). As the PRD's national president, he escalated his political and ideological warfare against his former president, Carlos Salinas, and other "conspirators" determined to link Mexico to the global economy at the expense of the poor. His strident advocacy of the "have-nots" lifted López Obrador to the mayorship of Mexico City, which he rechristened the "City of Hope." Its ubiquitous crime, traffic, pollution, and housing problems have made the capital a tomb for most politicians. Not for López Obrador. Through splashy public works, monthly stipends to senior citizens, huge marches, and a dawn-to-dusk work schedule, he converted the position into a trampoline to the presidency. Although he lost the official count by an eyelash, the hard-charging Tabascan cried fraud, took the oath as the nation's "legitimate president," and barnstormed the country, excoriating the "fascist" policies of President Felipe Calderón and preparing to redeem the destitute in the 2012 presidential contest. Grayson views López Obrador as quite different from populists like Chávez, Morales, and Kirchner and argues that he is a "secular messiah, who lives humbly, honors prophets, gathers apostles, declares himself indestructible, relishes playing the role of victim, and preaches a doctrine of salvation by returning to the values of the 1917 Constitution-- fairness for workers, Indians' rights, fervent nationalism, and anti-imperialism."

Book Description
Running from a past that was ingrained in a living nightmare, Cassi had thought that her aunts will was her way out of the hell that life had become while trying to guard her dying mother. Her natural beauty had been just one for the reason that she had lived for so long in disguise: to be as undesirable as possible to be the monster who dominated what was left of her moms life. Now with the promise of a real life and a place of her own to hide and lick her wounds, she was totally unprepared for what her inheritance encompassed. All that she wanted was what she had driven across the country for, a house of her own and about ten years of isolation to heal her broken being. However, she did not know if this life would heal her or destroy her. She could see that Brent was a beautiful person inside and out, except when he was around her. Having his whole world given to Cassi by the person that he had loved the most, she brought out the worst in him. She had a difficult time enduring his cocky, overpowering attitude from that first ill-fated moment they met. What had Mandy done to him without a hint or warning, she had left everything in his entire universe to a total stranger who had appeared to them during a blizzard, disguised as a grungy street urchin. No one but Brent could see a problem with her owning the entire estate of Saunders Valleytheir haven, their home. He would not let his world go without a fight. The summer program that they had started for troubled teen boys had been Mandys life. This was just one of the many things at risk under the new ownership. Who was she to judge him when she seemed to be running from her own past? For all they knew, she could be a seasoned criminal coming here to hide out in this gorgeous Montana wilderness. What was she so afraid of? He did not know whether to fight her or protect her. Could they survive together, or would they destroy each other? Meanwhile, there was a villain in Texas who threatened her existence. He wanted what was hers, and he wanted her dead!
