Angels Landing by Rochelle Alers Pdf

In this tender small-town romance, a city woman in need of a change of scenery suddenly inherits an estate on the charming coastal island of South Carolina where she will find herself and possibly even true love--perfect for fans of Jill Shalvis and Debbie Macomber. Sometimes love can take you by surprise. Kara Newell has a big-city life that needs a major shake-up. Her dedication as a social worker is unwavering, yet her heart tells her that there is more to life than just work. Kara gets the push she needs when she shockingly inherits a large estate on an island off the South Carolina coast. Now the charming town of Angels Landing awaits her . . . along with a secret family she never knew she had. After surviving war, loss, and heartbreak, ex-marine Jeffrey Hamilton takes his position as sheriff of idyllic Cavanaugh Island very seriously. So he is the perfect person to watch over the beautiful, confident woman who has turned her new family's expectations upside down-and stepped into the crosshairs of angry local residents. But soon Kara becomes more than just a job to him, and he begins to need her in ways he never expected. As Kara and Jeffrey confront the town gossips together, they'll learn to face their fears and forgive their pasts in order to find a future filled with happiness in Angels Landing.

Angels Landing by Trey Sienne Olneya Pdf

Book one in a planned three-book series, Angels Landing reads as if Taylor Sheridan (“Yellowstone,” “Wind River”) were channeling Stegner or Wendell Berry in the borderlands of Kingsolver’s Arizona novels. Abandoned as a child, adopted as a youth, and driven to an attempted suicidal jump from the world’s highest sandstone wall at the age of 23, Jasper Freeze finds friendship, healing, and heritage in the American Southwest borderlands. Infused with tri-lingual language elements (Spanish, English, Yaqui), a naturalist’s sensibilities for the earth, and the culturally syncretic spiritual paradigms of the American Southwest, fans of Kingsolver, Urrea, Sherman Alexie, Richard Powers, Craig Johnson, and Hillerman will find this a deeply moving contemporary environmental-road-border-buddy novel and spiritual quest unlike any they’ve ever read.

Angel Landing by Alice Hoffman Pdf

“A good, old-fashioned love story . . . Alice Hoffman’s writing at its precise and heartbreaking best.” —The Washington Post Things have changed in Fisher’s Cove, the Long Island harbor town where Natalie spent her summers as a girl. The water used to be clean, and from her aunt Minnie’s boarding house you could see all the way to Connecticut even on hazy days. Twenty years ago, Minnie never had a problem finding lodgers—but now everyone wants to be in Montauk or the Hamptons. The biggest change of all, though, is the nuclear power plant under construction on Angel Landing. Natalie’s boyfriend, Carter, is leading a protest against the plant, and despite the fact that he is more devoted to his environmental work than he is to her, she has followed him to Fisher’s Cove. During the days, she works as a therapist at a local counseling center; in the evenings, she ignores her aunt’s disapproval as she waits for Carter to call. But after an explosion lights up the night sky above Angel Landing, Natalie’s world is turned upside down. Into her office walks a man with an incredible confession to make, and the more she listens, the more Natalie begins to question the direction of her own life. The conclusions she draws—about passion, commitment, and what her heart truly wants—will lead her to a love she never imagined possible. Told with grace, charm, and wit, Angel Landing is a captivating romance and one of Alice Hoffman’s most delightful novels.

Pushing Boundaries: Students Remember 30 Years of Wilderness Challenge by Jerry Barker, Ed.D. Pdf

They were mostly inexperienced campers, "raising their hands" to take a big risk, exchanging their comfortable lives for a difficult week of mountaineering. Over 135 college students and alumni tell stories and share memories of teamwork and testing, disappointment and triumph. They pushed their limits, believed in themselves, and took time for personal reflection. Sometimes pain -- sore muscles, altitude sickness, and frozen toes -- seemed insurmountable. Yet in memory, overcoming physical challenges remains a source of great satisfaction. Persisting when they most want to quit teaches young people to think big. Exhaustion and discomfort can be dispelled by camaraderie and humility. In their futures, finding solutions to tough problems will require truly exceptional leadership. Whether they are called to lead, asked to lead, or forced to lead, all who dared those summits will be better prepared to meet any challenge they will face.
