Forever Yours, Faithfully


Book Description

By turns passionate and desperate, tragic and triumphant--the life of Lorrie Morgan could easily have been lifted from the lyrics of a classic country song. Now, in FOREVER YOURS, FAITHFULLY, Lorrie shares all the pleasure and the pain of her remarkable career and her turbulent, consuming love for doomed, brilliant bluegrass star Keith Whitley. In a voice all her own, Lorrie takes us inside the country music world, where she has risen to become Nashville gold. Beloved, betrayed, and ultimately resilient, Lorrie Morgan gives us a painfully honest memoir about letting go and moving on. FOREVER YOURS, FAITHFULLY resonates with emotion and the power of the human spirit. "From the Paperback edition.

Yours Faithfully, Bertrand Russell


Book Description

"Yet Russell was more than a great intellect; he was also a political animal. From the beginning of his long professional life he emphasized the importance of practice as well as theory. He was twice imprisoned by the British government for his political utterances. With his razor-sharp irony and morally impassioned rhetoric, Russell took on the forces of injustice, ignorance, and cruelty; one of his chief weapons was the letter to the editor.".

A Dictionary of Modern English Usage


Book Description

guide to precise phrases, grammar, and pronunciation can be key; it can even be admired. But beloved? Yet from its first appearance in 1926, Fowler's was just that. Henry Watson Fowler initially aimed his Dictionary of Modern English Usage, as he wrote to his publishers in 1911, at "the half-educated Englishman of literary proclivities who wants to know Can I say so-&-so?" He was of course obsessed with, in Swift's phrase, "proper words in their proper places." But having been a schoolmaster, Fowler knew that liberal doses of style, wit, and caprice would keep his manual off the shelf and in writers' hands. He also felt that description must accompany prescription, and that advocating pedantic "superstitions" and "fetishes" would be to no one's advantage. Adepts will have their favorite inconsequential entries--from burgle to brood, truffle to turgid. Would that we could quote them all, but we can't resist a couple.

As flawless as she appears from the outside, she experiences an unexplained brokenness on the inside and ends up crying alone on most days. One day, in the most unexpected circumstances, she discovers the reason for her unrest and her brokenness, and also happens to meet many around her who are just as secretly sad as her, which gives her a purpose that may or may not be considered morally acceptable.
