Jelly Bean's Tale


Book Description

Jelly Bean's Tale is the endearing story of a child's journey from insecure beginnings in an orphanage to an overturned adoption to the hopes of finding a forever-for-real family. So few books help children with adoption issues to encourage a sense of true security on the road to healing. The main character, Jelly Bean, is a poodle puppy and her travels are easily identifiable to children that have been in the position to wonder what will happen next in my life and when will I really be home.




Breakers


Book Description

Meet Martin. He's a young father, a husband, and an existentialist in denial. He's also, quite possibly, the only person in the world who truly believes that breaking a world record will guarantee a meaningful legacy. This, as you might imagine, leads to a few complications, and, yes, even a talking jellybean. Martin's journey is a testament to the absurdity of life, the pursuit of dreams, and the enduring power of family and love. It's a story that will make you laugh, maybe even cry, and certainly ponder the philosophical implications of a world record attempt involving juggling flaming bowling pins while riding a unicycle on a tightrope. So, buckle up, dear reader, and prepare for a wild ride. We're about to embark on an adventure that's as unpredictable as a sneeze at a world record breaking convention.




Morphologies


Book Description

What makes for a good short story? Being short, you might think the story's structure would yield an answer to this question more readily than, say, the novel. But for as long as the short story has been around, arguments have raged as to what it should and shouldn't be made up of, what it should and shouldn't do. Here ,15 leading contemporary practitioners offer structural appreciations of past masters of the form as well as their own perspectives on what the short story does so well. The best short stories don't have closure, argues one contributor, 'because life doesn't have closure'; 'plot must be written with the denouement constantly in view,' quotes another. Covering a century of writing that arguably saw all the major short forms emerge, from Hawthorne's 'Twice Told Tales' to Kafka's modernist nightmares, these essays offer new and unique inroads into classic texts, both for the literature student and aspiring writer.




The Jelly Bean


Book Description

Jim Powell was a Jelly-bean. Much as I desire to make him an appealing character, I feel that it would be unscrupulous to deceive you on that point. He was a bred-in-the-bone, dyed-in-the-wool, ninety-nine three-quarters per cent Jelly-bean and he grew lazily all during Jelly-bean season, which is every season, down in the land of the Jelly-beans well below the Mason-Dixon line. Now if you call a Memphis man a Jelly-bean he will quite possibly pull a long sinewy rope from his hip pocket and hang you to a convenient telegraph-pole. If you Call a New Orleans man a Jelly-bean he will probably grin and ask you who is taking your girl to the Mardi Gras ball. The particular Jelly-bean patch which produced the protagonist of this history lies somewhere between the two—a little city of forty thousand that has dozed sleepily for forty thousand years in southern Georgia occasionally stirring in its slumbers and muttering something about a war that took place sometime, somewhere, and that everyone else has forgotten long ago.
