Sunflowers & Scorched Earth by Locke Wood Pdf

Introducing "Sunflowers and Scorched Earth" A Gripping Tale of Betrayal, Redemption, and the thrilling journey of the Last American Vigilante Expressionist. Brace yourself for The First Hand Account of fathers and sons entrapped in a game of revenge, sex, and greed. Blood lust thrown upon a canvas of action painting, abstract art, and poetic violence. When love turns to ashes, a forgotten hero rises from the depths of darkness to deliver his own brand of vengeance. Ben Ashburn was violently ripped from his bed one fateful night, his naked body trembling amidst the heart-wrenching cries of his beloved. He had no recollection of how or why he ended up imprisoned. The next 20 years of his life bogged down in an inferno of torment, humiliation, and blind justice, wiping him off his Earth's surface and his family's memory. Now a free man, vengeance consumes Ben's every waking moment, as the city and the only father he knew steeped in greed and venality. The Ramaras have to stop Ben before he... And what exactly a lone, broken man can do against the owners of the whole damn city? Ridiculous, isn't it? Will he be stupid enough to fight, having only his best friend, his ex-fiancee and an ancient gun, which belonged to his ancestors, against a heavily armed squad, tons of money and his own father, easily bought with a nice house? If Ashburn makes a teeny-tiny move, Ramaras will show him that the remnants of his miserable life can be destroyed as well by the click of their fingers. But is it enough to stop a man destined to set things right? Ben should restore all the story from the beginning together with justice. This time, righteous.

The Box with the Sunflower Clasp by Rachel Meller Pdf

Rachel Meller was never close to her aunt Lisbeth, a cool, unemotional woman with a drawling Viennese-Californian accent, a cigarette in her hand. But when Lisbeth died, she left Rachel an intricately carved Chinese box with a sunflower clasp. Inside the box were photographs, letters and documents that led Rachel to uncover a story she had never known: that of a passionate Jewish teenager growing up in elegant Vienna, who was caught up by war, and forced to flee to Shanghai. Far from home, in a strange city, Lisbeth and her parents build a new life - a life of small joys and great hardship, surrounded by many others who, like them, have fled Hitler and the Nazis. 1930s Shanghai is a metropolis where the old rules do not apply - a city of fabulous wealth and crushing poverty, where disease is rife, and gangsters rub shoulders with rich emigrés; where summer brings unspeakable heat, and winter is bitterly cold; and where European refugees build community and, maybe, a young woman can find love. Set against a backdrop of the war in the Far East, The Box with the Sunflower Clasp is a sweeping family memoir that tells the hidden history of the Jews of Shanghai. Rachel Meller writes with elegance and insight as she examines what it means to survive, and what the legacy of displacement and war might mean for the generation that comes afterwards.

Scorched Earth by David L. Robbins Pdf

From David L. Robbins, bestselling author of The End of War and War of the Rats, comes a novel of searing intensity and uncompromising vision. Part mystery, part legal thriller, it is a story of crime and punishment set in a small southern town during one brutal, hot, and unforgiving summer that lays bare the potential of the human heart to hate–and, ultimately, to heal. Scorched Earth The inhabitants of Good Hope, Virginia, haven’t felt the cooling effects of rain in weeks. The crops are withering. The ground is parched. There is no relief in sight. With the town a tinderbox waiting to explode, all it takes is a spark to ignite all the prejudice, the rage, and the secrets that are so carefully kept hidden. And then, in the midst of the terrible heat, a tragedy occurs. A baby is born and dies in her mother’s arms. The child, Nora Carol, is buried quickly and quietly the next day in a church graveyard. It should have ended right there–but it didn’t, for Nora Carol is of mixed race. The white deacons of Good Hope’s Victory Baptist Church, trying to protect the centuries-old traditions of their cemetery, have the body exhumed. That night the church is set ablaze, and the sole witness is the only suspect–Elijah Waddell, Nora Carol’s father. Nat Deeds, a former prosecutor and an exile of Good Hope, is pressed into service as Elijah’s attorney. With a politically savvy prosecutor and a vindictive sheriff aligned against him, Nat knows it will be nearly impossible to get Elijah acquitted. But Elijah refuses to accept a plea. As the evidence mounts, Nat begins to suspect there is something his client isn’t telling him, and the next revelation turns Good Hope into a powder keg: a body is found in the ashes of the church. Now Elijah is accused of murder, and the case is no longer a matter of winning or losing, but of life or death. The only way Nat can save his client is to scratch and claw for any shred of evidence, even if he has to bend the law to find it. As the summer heat intensifies and passions reach their boiling point, Nat must navigate through the incendiary secrets kept by friends and neighbors, by the guilty and the innocent, to an act of justice that has nothing to do with the law.

Art in the Time of Unbearable Crisis by Stephanie Raffelock Pdf

Art keeps good alive in the worst of times. In the face of ugliness, pain, and death, it’s art that has the power to open us all to a healing imagining of new possibility; it’s art that whispers to the collective that even in the ashes of loss, life always grows again. That’s why right now, in this tumultuous time of war and pandemic, we need poets more than we need politicians. In response to the multitude of global crises we’re currently experiencing, editor Stefanie Raffelock put out a much-needed call to her writing community for art to uplift and inform the world, and the authors of She Writes Press answered. Art in the Time of Unbearable Crisis—a sometimes comforting, sometimes devastating, but universally relatable collection of prose, poetry, and art about living through difficult times like these—is the result. Addressing topics including grief and loss, COVID-19 and war in Ukraine, the gravity of need and being needed, the broad range of human response to crisis in all its forms, and more, these pieces explore how we can find beauty, hope, and deeper interpretation of world events through art—even when the world seems like it’s been turned inside out and upside-down. Proceeds: Our Commitment The collection of essays, poetry, and art in this book are meant to feed and nourish our hearts and minds. It’s what women do—we feed people. To that end, the proceeds from this work will be donated to the nonprofit World Central Kitchen, an organization conceived by chef José Andrés as a way to feed people affected by natural disasters and war. World Central Kitchen financially supports food banks and restaurants that provide free food throughout the world.

St. Mawr & The Man Who Died by D.H. Lawrence Pdf

These two brilliant novels are deservedly among Lawrence's most popular works. Both are at the same time exciting narratives and striking expressions of Lawrence's philosophy. St. Mawr is the story of a splendid stallion in whose vitality the heroine finds the quality that is lacking in the men she knows. It is also the first of Lawrence's writing to be partially set in America, on a ranch in Arizona. The Man Who Died, originally published in Paris as "The Escaped Cock" and later retitled and revised, has as its main character Christ, who does not die on the cross but escapes to wander through the country seeking the meaning of human existence, which he finally discovers in a temple of Isis by the waters of Lebanon.

St. Mawr by D H Lawrence Pdf

Lou Witt is twenty-five years old, not beautiful, but her knowledge of foreign languages and her gypsy vagabond air make her attractive. Her encounter with a Welsh thoroughbred horse, St. Mawr, changes her fortunes. One day, Lou decides to leave her marriage and cynical post-war England behind her and, together with her mother, a woman with a stubborn and not at all meek personality, to reach a remote ranch in the mountains of New Mexico. Accompanying the two protagonists will be Lewis, a rough-around-the-edges stableman who won't let anything stand in his way. Written in the summer of 1924, while Lawrence was on the American ranch he bought with his wife, "St. Mawr" is considered one of the small masterpieces in which the author managed to infuse all his desire for adventure and freedom.
