Letters to Angela by Phillip D. Reisner Pdf

Letters to Angela provides an intimate glimpse at author Phillip Reisner's love for his two daughters, Angela and Kaitlyn. Through a series of emotional letters and honest poetry, Reisner shares the wonderful memories they have shared and the sad, sometimes hurtful events that changed their lives forever. The letters cover a span of nearly eighteen years of Angela's life, including the untimely death of her twin, Kaitlyn, at the age of three and a half. Reisner writes candidly about his relationship with his wife, daughters, mother, and extended family. The letters were written during several months of soul searching and emotional venting in hope of finding truth in his relationships. Reflecting on spiritual and earthly forces that affect his life, beliefs, and relationships, Reisner's letters are separated by poems, offering windows into the emotions that the author confronts as he explores his innermost thoughts and feelings regarding the events of the lives of those around him. From the joy of the birth of his twin daughters to the delightful discoveries of their early years to the hope that he and Angela can rebuild their relationship through love and forgiveness, Letters to Angela attests to the unconditional love of a father for his daughter.

Peyton Place by Grace Metalious Pdf

Peyton Place is a sleepy little American town, like any other. But like any other, it harbours its fair share of secrets. Constance MacKenzie is a widower—or so the residents of Peyton Place believe. In reality, after leaving Peyton Place she carried on an affair that lasted until her illicit lover’s untimely death. No one in town knows the truth—not even her daughter, Allison, a budding intellectual and aspiring author. Allison feels lonely and isolated in Peyton Place, save for the company of her best friend, Selena Cross, a poor girl trapped under the thumb of an abusive step-father. As the ebb and flow of small-town drama cascades over Peyton Place, the three women must navigate the constraints of their pasts, the potential of their futures, and growing understandings of their own sexuality. Peyton Place was a resoundingly successful—and deeply controversial—novel when published, bolstered by its colourful cast and frank discussions of sex and sexuality. It was adapted as a film, and then a prime time television series. Penguin Random House Canada is proud to bring you classic works of literature in e-book form, with the highest quality production values.

Peyton Place + Return to Peyton Place by Grace Metalious Pdf

Peyton Place is a sleepy little American town, like any other. But like any other, it harbours its fair share of secrets. Constance MacKenzie is a widower—or so the residents of Peyton Place believe. In reality, after leaving Peyton Place she carried on an affair that lasted until her illicit lover’s untimely death. No one in town knows the truth—not even her daughter, Allison, a budding intellectual, and aspiring author. Allison feels lonely and isolated in Peyton Place, save for the company of her best friend, Selena Cross, a poor girl trapped under the thumb of an abusive step-father. As the ebb and flow of small-town drama cascades over Peyton Place, the three women must navigate the constraints of their pasts, the potential of their futures, and growing understandings of their own sexuality. Return to Peyton Place reunites the reader with Allison MacKenzie, now a successful writer in New York, and working on her daughter novel, her mother Constance, now happily married, and her friend Selena Cross, free from the torments of her abusive step father. All three women are, by any reasonable standard, happy. But things become complicated when Allison’s novel, based heavily on the town—and not in a flattering way—attracts the ire of their friends and neighbours. Peyton Place was a resoundingly successful—and deeply controversial—novel when published, bolstered by its colourful cast and frank discussions of sex and sexuality. The two novels were adapted numerous times, for both film and television.

Candles Burning by Tabitha King,Michael McDowell, Ph.D Pdf

“A mix of magic realism and Southern gothic, this stunning collaboration between King and McDowell…moves at a hypnotic pace, like an Alabama water moccasin slipping through black water.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) Calliope “Calley” Dakin is no normal little girl. She hears things that maybe a little girl shouldn’t hear—and knows things a little girl should never know. Just seven when her beloved father is tortured, murdered, and dismembered by two women with no discernable motivation, Calley and her mother find themselves caught up in inexplicable events that exile them to Pensacola Beach. There—in a house that’s a dead ringer for Calley’s late great-grandmother’s house—another woman awaits their presence. A woman who understands what Calley is, but can’t begin to imagine just how strong her bond is with her father—even after death... Known for his chilling Blackwater series, author Michael McDowell left behind the unfinished manuscript for Candles Burning on his death in 1999. In the spirit of the ghost stories that Michael loved, Tabitha King has taken up where he left off.

A Very Big House in the Country by Claire Sandy Pdf

Holidays are about surviving the gaps between one meal and another.' For one long hot summer in Devon, three families are sharing one very big house in the country. The Herreras: made up of two tired parents, three grumbling children and one promiscuous dog; the Littles: he's loaded (despite two divorces and five kids), she's gorgeous, but maybe the equation for a truly happy marriage is a bit more complicated than that; and the Browns, who seem oddly jumpy around people, but especially each other. By the pool, new friendships blossom; at the Aga door, resentments begin to simmer. Secret crushes are formed and secret cigarettes cadged by the teens, as the adults loosen their inhibitions with litres of white wine and start to get perhaps a little too honest . . . Mother hen to all, Evie Herreras has a life-changing announcement to make, one that could rock the foundations of her family. But will someone else beat her to it?

Always Faithful by Caitlyn Willows Pdf

They hunt a killer who will stop at nothing to protect his identity, even if that means threatening the one link between them—their son. When Staff Sergeant Rowan McKinley is charged with murder, she wants the best defense counsel the Marine Corps has to offer—Captain Phillip Stuart. Seeking his help means opening old wounds. It's a risk she must take to save herself. Phillip swore he'd never have anything to do with the one woman who had not only broken his heart but had crushed it. Helping her was personal suicide. But professionally, it could be the coup de grace of his career—that next rung on the ladder, the next challenge he was looking for. The love and passion each thought gone sparks to life—only now it is forbidden by military law. Knowing the rules and adhering to them are very different matters. But who should make the sacrifice when both are destined to soar to the top of their ranks? The choice might be taken from their hands. There is a killer with just as much to lose who will stop at nothing to protect his identity, even if that means threatening the one link between Phillip and Rowan—the son Phillip never knew he had.
