Finders Keepers


Book Description

A Southern saga of family lost and found from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Sisterhood books. Fern Michaels thrills us, once again, with the story of an unforgettable young woman who was stolen as a toddler from a poor but loving family, and who must journey through a maze of heartbreak before she can reclaim her true identity. Raised in a magnificent Charleston house, Jessie Roland wants for nothing. But as she grows into young adulthood, all she feels is loss and a desperate need to break free from the stifling possessiveness of her “parents.” Somewhere, in the deepest part of herself, Jessie believes that the world she has always lived in is not the one she came from . . . or belongs in. Now, at nineteen, she has escaped to Washington, D.C., where no one knows her, and where she is swept into a whirlwind marriage to a Texas senator’s son. But the past will not release Jessie, who is still haunted by a sense of lost happiness, of simple, tender gestures buried in her memory. Only in Luke Holt, a reclusive rancher, will she discover the strength to penetrate the darkness, and find her way back to a place she can call home. Praise for Fern Michaels “Prose so natural that it seems you are witnessing a story rather than reading about it.” —Los Angeles Sunday Times “Michaels just keeps getting better and better with each book . . . She never disappoints.” —RT Book Reviews

Flipped


Book Description

A classic he-said-she-said romantic comedy! This updated anniversary edition offers story-behind-the-story revelations from author Wendelin Van Draanen. The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Juli says: “My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down: just as Bryce is thinking that there’s maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she’s thinking that he’s not quite all he seemed. This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices. The updated anniversary edition contains 32 pages of extra backmatter: essays from Wendelin Van Draanen on her sources of inspiration, on the making of the movie of Flipped, on why she’ll never write a sequel, and a selection of the amazing fan mail she’s received. Awards and accolades for Flipped: SLJ Top 100 Children’s Novels of all time IRA-CBC Children’s Choice IRA Teacher’s Choice Honor winner, Judy Lopez Memorial Award/WNBA Winner of the California Young Reader Medal “We flipped over this fantastic book, its gutsy girl Juli and its wise, wonderful ending.” — The Chicago Tribune “Van Draanen has another winner in this eighth-grade ‘he-said, she-said’ romance. A fast, funny, egg-cellent winner.” — SLJ, Starred review “With a charismatic leading lady kids will flip over, a compelling dynamic between the two narrators and a resonant ending, this novel is a great deal larger than the sum of its parts.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred review




The Peace Maker


Book Description

A young man named Lenny Gordon grows up with a burning desire to do something significant that will make our embattled world a more loving place to live. He plays football in high school, achieving honors, resulting in full-ride scholarship to Michigan University, where he also receives much-acclaimed offers to play for NFL teams. Instead of going "pro," he accepts a job in the industry as a software engineer. After three years, the old yearning to "do good for the world" encompasses his mind and spirit. He goes to his special little church and looks upward for "heavenly guidance." A sweet female voice comes down and blesses Lenny's peacemaker foray to the troubled world. At this session, he is told that he will be anointed with certain special powers: With a flick of his fingers, he will be able to "transfix" his audience. He will be surrounded by a luminous shield protecting him from all sorts of physical and ammunition bombardments. In his first peacemaking foray, he confronts the US Congress and initiates the process of establishing a government that forever will not be headed up by a SINGLE PERSON. Secondly, he abolishes the ever-bickering "two-party system" and replaces with a "no-party Congress," elected by popular vote and congressmen can only serve for one eight to ten years term so that the legislators will not legislative to be "reelected." Then he travels to countries of the world where wars and out-of-control riots are in process. He finds a prominent point and freezes the combatants and threatens to starve them to death if they don't make peace with one another, stating that he has been dispatched from the Godhead they all worship to carry forth his mission: "PEACE AND LOVE EVERYWHERE." Then he has the pope gather the religious heads from all religions, where he freezes the audience and explains that they all worship the same God/Godhead no matter which religion they preach. And the Godhead is made up of both male and female saints who achieved their heavenly position because of their kind-loving lives whilst on the earth, and he also cites that God instilled both male and females a natural desire for sex with each other, so stop condemning consenting adults from having sexual intercourse adults, including priests, who seem to be taking out their sexual cravings out on children. And lastly, women are in so many ways more kind and loving and wise than men that they should be encouraged to fill every sort of official responsibility, including the "papal office." Then he travels about the world, leading to the removal of all the country's armed forces and armaments. After this, he supervises the selection of "well-vetted" persons from the world's 195 countries to make up a "Peace and Love Organization," the PALO, who are the overseers of the peace and love of the whole planet. The PALO assembles them to physics minds around the world who develop an airborne craft that "DENUCLEARIZES" all the atomic arsenals buried around the world. During his journeys, he meets and falls in love with a beautiful Romanian lady, Romanna. She travels with him on many of his missions, and eventually, they marry and produce a baby boy then a baby girl.
