Cooney comes a domestic thriller perfect for fans of mystery books by Laura Lippman and Alice Feeney.

Something stunning, beautiful and inexplicable. Clemmie photographs the wondrous object on her cell phone and makes the irrevocable error of forwarding it. As the picture swirls over the internet, Clemmie tries desperately to keep a grip on her own personal network of secrets. Can fifty years of careful hiding under names not her own be ruined by one careless picture? And although what Clemmie finds is a work of art, what the police find is a body. . . and she was the last person at the crime scene, where she left her fingerprints. Suddenly thrown into the heart of a twisted investigation, Clemmie finds herself the uncomfortable subject of intense scrutiny. And the bland, quiet life Clemmie has built for herself in her sleepy South Carolina retirement community comes crashing down as her dark past surges into the present. From international bestselling author of The Face on the Milk Carton Caroline B. Cooney comes Before She Was Helen, an absorbing mystery that brings decades-old secrets to life and explores what happens when the lie you've been living falls apart and you're forced to confront the truth.

Operas in English
Author: Margaret Ross Griffel
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810883252
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 1015
Book Description
Although many opera dictionaries and encyclopedias are available, very few are devoted exclusively to operas in a single language. In this revised and expanded edition of Operas in English: A Dictionary, Margaret Ross Griffel brings up to date her original work on operas written specifically to an English text (including works both originally prepared in English, as well as English translations). Since its original publication in 1999, Griffel has added nearly 800 entries to the 4,300 from the original volume, covering the world of opera in the English language from 1634 through 2011. Listed alphabetically by letter, each opera entry includes alternative titles, if any; a full, descriptive title; the number of acts; the composer’s name; the librettist’s name, the original language of the libretto, and the original source of the text, with the source title; the date, place, and cast of the first performance; the date of composition, if it occurred substantially earlier than the premiere date; similar information for the first U.S. (including colonial) and British (i.e., in England, Scotland, or Wales) performances, where applicable; a brief plot summary; the main characters (names and vocal ranges, where known); some of the especially noteworthy numbers cited by name; comments on special musical problems, techniques, or other significant aspects; and other settings of the text, including non-English ones, and/or other operas involving the same story or characters (cross references are indicated by asterisks). Entries also include such information as first and critical editions of the score and libretto; a bibliography, ranging from scholarly studies to more informal journal articles and reviews; a discography; and information on video recordings. Griffel also includes four appendixes, a selective bibliography, and two indexes. The first appendix lists composers, their places and years of birth and death, and their operas included in the text as entries; the second does the same for librettists; the third records authors whose works inspired or were adapted for the librettos; and the fourth comprises a chronological listing of the A–Z entries, including as well as the date of first performance, the city of the premiere, the short title of the opera, and the composer. Griffel also include a main character index and an index of singers, conductors, producers, and other key figures.

America Accept the Truth, Repent, and Save Our Country
Author: Dr. Derek Lawrence-Harper
Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
ISBN: 1489746986
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
God’s timing is not our timing, but the bible is clear that judgment will come. America will be judged for its misdeeds one day. It is the author’s hope that people will re-read the bible and encourage people to read this book to know that the author’s goal is to first save souls and second save our country. Ideally, we need to be in a financial position to help others. To resolve problems in this country we must be honest and accept the truth to move forward. Most Americans including the author need all their income to pay bills and have means to enjoy themselves. The true minority in America is the rich who do not live paycheck to paycheck but have either generational wealth or maximized their talents to become prosperous. Hopefully, anyone who became rich did not compromise their morality or abuse, misuse, or oppress others for their personal gain. If so, pray that they repent. Our country is in trouble as Compromised Christianity, Atheism, Agnosticism, and Satanic influence is on the rise while Bible Believing Christians are declining, getting older, and are dying off. It has been said that those who ignore history repeat history. Dr. Martin Luther King once stated that truth suppressed to earth shall rise again. The author is here to talk about the truth that is rising in our time now.

The life of Helen Miller Bailey, teacher, artist, author, community activist, social reformer, wife, and mother, is as inspirational as it was ardently lived. Todays authors of purportedly new concepts of living a purposeful life, inspired work, and authentic leadership could have been writing about Helen Miller Bailey, though she died nearly half a century ago.
