Rainwater by Sandra Brown. "romantic historical novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seeing Red about an independent woman who runs a boarding house in Dust Bowl Texas. Ella Baron runs her Texas boarding house with the efficiency of a ship's captain and the grace of a gentlewoman. She cooks, cleans, launders, and cares for her ten-year-old son, Solly, a sweet but challenging child whose busy behavior and failure to speak elicits undesired advice from others in town. Ella's plate is full from sunup to sundown. When a room in her boarding house opens up, the respected town doctor brings Ella a new boarder the handsome and gallant Mr. David Rainwaterbut Ella is immediately resistant to opening up her home to this mysterious stranger. Even with assurances that Mr. Rainwater is a man of impeccable character, a former cotton broker and a victim of the Great Depression, Ella stiffens at the thought of taking him in. Dr. Kincaid tells Ella in confidence that Mr. Rainwater won't require the room for long: he is dying. Begrudgingly, Ella accepts Mr. Rainwater's application to board, but she knows that something is happening; she is being swept along by an unusual series of events. Soon, this strong-minded, independent woman will realize that the living that she has eked out for herself in the small bubble of her town is about to change, whether she likes it or not. Racial tensions, the financial strain of livelihoods in cotton drying up into dust, and the threat of political instability swirl together into a tornado on the horizon. One thing is certain: the winds of change are blowing all over Texasand through the cracks in the life that Ella Barron has painstakingly built. This is the story of a woman who takes her life's circumstances in both hands, but who will be forced to reckon with the chaos of her historical circumstances." Goodreads.

Here two very different women discover how to find their place in the world--no matter how out of place they feel. Emily Benedict came to Mullaby, North Carolina, hoping to solve at least some of the riddles surrounding her mother's life. Such as, why did Dulcie Shelby leave her hometown so suddenly? And why did she vow never to return? But the moment Emily enters the house where her mother grew up and meets the grandfather she never knew--a reclusive, real-life gentle giant--she realizes that mysteries aren't solved in Mullaby, they're a way of life: Here are rooms where the wallpaper changes to suit your mood. Unexplained lights skip across the yard at midnight. And a neighbor bakes hope in the form of cakes. Everyone in Mullaby adores Julia Winterson's cakes--which is a good thing, because Julia can't seem to stop baking them. She offers them to satisfy the town's sweet tooth but also in the hope of rekindling the love she fears might be lost forever. Flour, eggs, milk, and sugar . . . Baking is the only language the proud but vulnerable Julia has to communicate what is truly in her heart. But is it enough to call back to her those she's hurt in the past? Can a hummingbird cake really bring back a lost love? Is there really a ghost dancing in Emily's backyard? The answers are never what you expect. But in this town of lovable misfits, the unexpected fits right in." Goodreads.

For Kaelen, however, it had long since faded into the background, a ghost sound lost in the symphony of his own thoughts. He leaned against the viewport, the vast, star-strewn canvas of the Kepler-186f system blurring before his eyes. It was a familiar sight, yet it held a perpetual, aching beauty. The crimson glow of Kepler-186, the system's primary star, painted the nebulae in shades of rose and rust, a celestial masterpiece that Kaelen had witnessed countless times. But tonight, the beauty felt hollow, a stark contrast to the gnawing emptiness in his gut. He traced the condensation his breath left on the reinforced transparisteel, a fleeting smudge against the infinite. Just yesterday, they had been on the cusp of something monumental. The anomaly they'd detected-a spatial distortion unlike anything recorded in the Federation's vast archives-had promised a breakthrough. For months, theStardust Drifter had been chasing whispers, fragments of data that hinted at a phenomenon that defied current astrophysical understanding. It was the kind of discovery that legends were made of, the kind that Kaelen, as the ship's xenophysicist, had dedicated his life to finding. "Anything, Captain?" Anya's voice, crisp and professional, cut through the quiet. She stood by the main console, her fingers dancing across the holographic displays, her brow furrowed in concentration. Her presence always brought a grounding sense of purpose, a reminder that their mission, however elusive, was still unfolding. Captain Eva Rostova, a woman whose steely resolve was as much a part of her as the silver streak in her dark hair, emerged from the command deck. Her gaze swept over Kaelen, a silent acknowledgement of his contemplation, before settling on Anya. "The readings are still inconclusive, Anya. The distortion is. shy. It appears and disappears with unsettling regularity, making precise triangulation impossible." Her voice was a low rumble, carrying the weight of leadership. Kaelen pushed himself away from the viewport, the dull ache in his abdomen intensifying. He knew the frustration in Eva's voice. They had poured over terabytes of sensor data, cross-referenced every known stellar phenomenon, and run countless simulations. The anomaly was real, undeniably so, but its behavior was maddeningly erratic. It wasn't just a gravitational fluctuation or an Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Learn the tricks to turn their edge against them. Here is an excerpt.For incorporeal foes, the material world only exists when they want it to. Free to lurk inside solid objects, they can emerge when you least expect it, laughing at your futile sword thrusts even as their own attacks effortlessly pass through even the thickest armor. Gifted with this near invulnerability, their capacity to cause harm seems matched only by their malice.Touched by Ether [General]You are connected to the intangible threads of existence that lie beyond the Material Plane.Prerequisite: Cha 13.Benefit: Something about you makes it difficult for incorporeal creatures to see you clearly. When on the Material Plane, you have concealment from incorporeal creatures (20% miss chance).See invisibility does not counteract this effect, but true seeing does.An incorporeal creature that cannot see the subject ignores this effect (although fighting an unseen opponent carries penalties of its own; see page 151 of the Player's Handbook).This feat has no effect on corporeal or ethereal creatures.Plus!The Ecology of the Ettercap, Spells of Kyuss, Class Acts, First Watch, Sage Advice, Scale Mail, Wormfood, comics, and more!

Yet the variegated presence of Spanish-speaking peoples in the United States - of immigrants and native born, of Native American, African, and European ancestry, of all skin colors, social classes, and religious and political affiliations, calling any number of places home - has contributed enormously to what we now know as American culture. Whereas other anthologies have focused either on a narrow grouping according to national origin or on a single literary form, Currents from the Dancing River - bringing together 135 works whose main commonality is that of quality - is the first collection of such breadth and comprehensiveness. Its variety of style and content gives the most realistic possible portrait of what Latino might mean. ; Contents Enrique Fernandez -- Salsa x 2 -- Arturo Islas -- Chiles -- Aurora Levins Morales -- Puertoricanness -- Immigrants -- Kitchens -- 1930 -- Luis Omar Salinas -- Let's Begin the Day -- Prayer to the Child of Prague -- Courtship of Darkness -- Abraham Rodriguez, Jr. -- The Lotto -- Silvia Curbelo -- Bringing Her Back -- Lunes de Revolucion -- Floating -- Rosemary Catacalos -- Paying Respects -- Taking the Air -- Ariadne Seven Years Later -- Judith Ortiz Cofer -- The Black Virgin -- The Witch's Husband -- Julio Marzan -- What We Don't Know About the Climb to Heaven -- Richard Garcia -- La Calle del Nino Perdido -- Doing the Tarantella with Lola Montez -- Open Letter to My Friends -- Rafael Campo -- A Case of Mistaken Identities: The Human Body -- Luis Alberto Urrea -- Father's Day -- Miguel Pinero -- On the Day They Buried My Mother . . . -- This Is Not the Place Where I Was Born -- Gloria Anzaldua -- Ghost Trap -- Puddles -- Juan Felipe Herrera -- The Cassettes -- Notes on Other Chicana & Chicano Inventions -- Rodney King, the Black Christ of Los Angeles and All of Our White Sins - May 1, 1992 -- Zoot Suit on a Bed of Spanish Rice -- Milagros & Angels -- Mariachi Drag Star -- Kleya Forte-Escamilla -- Adonde Vive Dios? -- Helena Maria Viramontes -- Tears on My Pillow -- Alberto Rios -- Nicanor, Saturday -- How the Mouth Works -- The Vietnam Wall -- Rosa Maria Arenas -- Mother of Shrines -- Mother of the Long Good-bye -- Mother of the Historical Tree -- Jack Agueros -- Psalm for Your Image -- Sonnet for Mars -- Sonnet for Angelo Monterosa -- Dagoberto Gilb -- Look on the Bright Side -- Marisella Vejga -- The Graduation -- Victor Martinez -- Gravity -- The Seed Must Kill -- A Letter from My Mother -- Leo Romero -- Miguelito, Miguelito -- Backward Facing Man -- Aristeo Brito -- From The Devil in Texas -- Mary Helen Ponce -- The Day Rito Died -- Gary Soto -- Black Hair -- Pat Mora -- Dear Frida -- The Itch -- Ricardo Pau-Llosa -- Seals -- Swirling Lines -- Minas de Cobre -- Ruth Warat -- Love and Hunt in the Dark Room -- Inquisitors, Dead and in Power.

For Kaelen, however, it had long since faded into the background, a ghost sound lost in the symphony of his own thoughts. He leaned against the viewport, the vast, star-strewn canvas of the Kepler-186f system blurring before his eyes. It was a familiar sight, yet it held a perpetual, aching beauty. The crimson glow of Kepler-186, the system's primary star, painted the nebulae in shades of rose and rust, a celestial masterpiece that Kaelen had witnessed countless times. But tonight, the beauty felt hollow, a stark contrast to the gnawing emptiness in his gut. He traced the condensation his breath left on the reinforced transparisteel, a fleeting smudge against the infinite. Just yesterday, they had been on the cusp of something monumental. The anomaly they'd detected-a spatial distortion unlike anything recorded in the Federation's vast archives-had promised a breakthrough. For months, theStardust Drifter had been chasing whispers, fragments of data that hinted at a phenomenon that defied current astrophysical understanding. It was the kind of discovery that legends were made of, the kind that Kaelen, as the ship's xenophysicist, had dedicated his life to finding. "Anything, Captain?" Anya's voice, crisp and professional, cut through the quiet. She stood by the main console, her fingers dancing across the holographic displays, her brow furrowed in concentration. Her presence always brought a grounding sense of purpose, a reminder that their mission, however elusive, was still unfolding. Captain Eva Rostova, a woman whose steely resolve was as much a part of her as the silver streak in her dark hair, emerged from the command deck. Her gaze swept over Kaelen, a silent acknowledgement of his contemplation, before settling on Anya. "The readings are still inconclusive, Anya. The distortion is. shy. It appears and disappears with unsettling regularity, making precise triangulation impossible." Her voice was a low rumble, carrying the weight of leadership. Kaelen pushed himself away from the viewport, the dull ache in his abdomen intensifying. He knew the frustration in Eva's voice. They had poured over terabytes of sensor data, cross-referenced every known stellar phenomenon, and run countless simulations. The anomaly was real, undeniably so, but its behavior was maddeningly erratic. It wasn't just a gravitational fluc Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A federal agent assigned to collect intelligence on militant Native American tribes discovers a plot to reclaim the Indian's sacred land at Mt. Rushmore. The St. Louis Memorial Arch, 630 feet of gleaming stainless steel, twice the height of the Statue of Liberty, built to withstand earthquakes, has been so severely damaged that it's barely standing. What's even more unsettling to a nervous nation: The arch was damaged and turned black overnight but without apparent cause--no bombs, no guns, no chemicals. There are suspects, however. And Charlie Hart, a clean-cut FBI agent in the all-American mode, is on the trail of three: Lakota John Brown Dog, an otherworldly whore, and "the grandfather," who's in contact with a shadowy but powerful group known as the allies. And matters only get scarier for America after the arch is damaged.the four stone presidents on Mount Rushmore come under an attack that a hundred armed agents and a dozen assault helicopters are powerless to stop.then it's on to a second battle of the Little Bighorn. The white man's civilization ends with a lone wolf howling in the desolate forests of Manhattan. The force majeure behind these events is ghost dancing, which began in 1890 as a promise to Indians that America's original illegal aliens--the Europeans and their descendants--could be eradicated without war, without killing. How this promise can be fulfilled more than a hundred years later, in present-day America, is one of the compelling mysteries at the heart of Facing Rushmore. Martin's ten novels have given him a cult following. His thriller, Lie to Me, and his eccentric love story, The Crying Heart Tattoo, are adored by fans worldwide. But Facing Rushmore is in a class by itself. The novel's unforgettable characters dare to consider a provocative question in the post-9/11 world: Can the technological power of the United States, a power that has dominated the world, be overwhelmed by a superior spiritual force? Facing Rushmore will thrill and provoke readers. It's a history lesson, a page-turner, and one hell of a journey. If you're a Martin fan, the good news is: He's back. If this is your first trip with him, get ready for the ride of your life. This item is printed on demand.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - National Theatre Connections is an annual festival which brings new plays for young people to schools and youth theatres across the UK and Ireland. Commissioning exciting work from leading playwrights, the festival exposes actors aged 13-19 to the world of professional theatre-making, giving them full control of a theatrical production - from costume and set design to stage management and marketing campaigns. NT Connections have published over 150 original plays and regularly works with 500 theatre companies and 10,000 young people each year.This anthology brings together 9 new plays by some of the UK's most prolific and current writers and artists alongside notes on each of the texts exploring performance for schools and youth groups.Wind / Rush Generation(s) by Mojisola AdebayoThis is a play about the British Isles, its past and its present. Set in a senior common room, in a prominent university, a group of 1st year undergraduates are troubled, not by the weight of their workload, but by a 'noisy' ghost. So they do what any group self-respecting and intelligent university students would do in such a situation - they get out the Ouija Board to confront their spiritual irritant and lay them to rest - only to be confronted by the full weight of Britain's colonial past - in all its gory glory. Fusing naturalism, with physical theatre, spoken-word, absurdism, poetry and direct address - this is event-theatre that whips along with the grace, pace and hypnotic magnetism of a hurricane.Tuesday by Alison CarrTuesday is light, playful and nuanced in tone. And a little bit sci-fi. The play centres on an ordinary Tuesday that suddenly turns very weird indeed when a tear rips across the sky over the school yard. The play touches on themes of friendship, sibling love, family, identity, grief, bullying, loneliness and responsibility. And in the process we might just learn something about ourselves as well as some astronomical theories of the multiverse!A series of public apologies (in response to an unfortunate incident in the school lavatories) by John DonnellyThis satirical play is heightened in its naturalism, in its seriousness, in its parody and piercing in its interrogation of how our attempts to define ourselves in public are shaped by the fear of saying the wrong thing. Presented quite literally as a series of public apologies this play is spacious, flexible and welcoming of inventive and imaginative interpretation as each iteration spirals inevitably to its absurdist core. This is a play on words, on convention, on manners, on institutions, on order, online and on point.THE IT by Vivienne FranzmannTHE IT is a play about a teenage girl who has something growing inside her. She doesn't know what it is, but she knows it's not a baby. It expands in her body. It starts in her stomach, but quickly outgrows that, until eventually ittakes over the entirety of her insides. It has claws. She feels them.Presented in the style of a direct to camera documentary, this is a darkly comic state of the nation play exploring adolescent mental health and the rage within, written very specifically for today.The Marxist in Heaven by Hattie NaylorThe Marxist in Heaven is a play that does exactly what its title page says it's going to do. The eponymous protagonist 'wakes up' in paradise and once they get over the shock of this fundamental contradiction of everything they believe in.they get straight back to work.and continue their lifelong struggle for equality and fairness for all.even in death. Funny, playful, provocative, pertinent and jam-packed with discourse, disputes, deities and disco dancing by the bucketful, this upbeat buoyant allegory shines its holy light on globalization and asks the salient questions - who are we and what are we doing to ourselves .and what conditioner do you use on your hair Look Up by Andrew MuirLook Up plunges us into a world free from adult intervention, supervision and protection. It's about seeking the truth for yourself and finding the space to find and be yourself.

With straight A's student and drama freak, Anuka cast as Abigail Williams in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the school seem to be well on course for another triumph, which would be a record. However, as rehearsals gain momentum, Anuka has an epiphany. An experience resulting in her asking searching questions surrounding the text, the depiction and perception of female characters, the meaning of loyalty, and the values and traditions underpinning the very foundations of the school. Thus, the scene is set for a confront.

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | It's not often these days that you read about a real goddess. One who was a lover of Ulysses - and saved his butt more than he would care to admit (and never told his biographer.) And one who influenced history for good and bad in more ways than you know. But only the very worst stories about how she looked and acted have been passed down through the ages. So she kidnapped a writer to tell it straight. Only he had to write this as fiction, since no one would believe him anyway. This is all about her and that author. All of what happened between them and because of them isn't chronicled here. But this short collection is a good start. Extracted from the numerous episodes of the Ghost Hunters series. And it begins, as we said above, with his disappearance… This Anthology Containing: - Harpy - Harpy's Desires - Harpy Redux - Sister Mine - Time Bent And a complete Book Universes Notes addition - so you know all the characters and miss no subtle asides or easter eggs… Excerpt: "JOHN, YOU CAN CALL me Harpy." The voice woke me. I was tightly bound to a support column in some old, dank and stone-lined room. Where exactly, I didn't know. I had on my dungarees, work boots, red cotton t-shirt under my canvas jacket. Like I'd just been air-lifted from the pasture on my farm. Facing me was a woman with wings. A gorgeous woman with strong, beautiful wings. And her voice was like poured honey over buttered toast on a hot day. Smooth, lustrous, golden. I'd rather call her siren. Especially when I looked into her eyes. Vibrant green, like the glowing color of fireflies. But steady, piercing. Harpy stepped closer to me and I could see more detail in her thin, nearly sheer top. It seemed like a dancing leotard. Her long legs took her closer to me in graceful barefoot paces. A tail of cloth-like drape, like the sweep of tail feathers behind, barely grazed the floor and raised small puffs of dust as she strode toward me. "Why Harpy, why not Siren? With a face and eyes like that, you can have any lover you want." I said. "Oh, and I have. They all loved me and went to their death for me. Too human. Short lifespans, inflated egos, puppy-dog eyes and utter devotion." The Harpy sighed. "Why do you call yourself 'Harpy'," I asked. "The usual pictures are of an ugly monster with really only a woman's face, the rest are parts of animals." Harpy sighed. "Probably the same reason vampires and other creatures have such bad reputations. You can see my wings and yes I have claws." She held up two fingers from one hand where long talons suddenly extended from her fingertips, then retracted as quickly. "But that is no different than cats, really. Practically, I can even hide my wings and walk among humans, the same as I've done for centuries. I've passed royalty and commoner alike and no one has known except when I wanted them to." She sighed again and looked off into space. "May I ask why you brought me here and why I am tied up so tight?" I asked. "Because I want you to tell my side of the story…."
