Paperback. Condition: Good. #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens explores what happens when fate tosses two people who had no intention of marrying each other into the hothouse of a noble betrothal under the avid eyes of the ton. A gentleman seeking a suitable wife is forced by fate and unhelpful circumstance to become engaged to a lady who had no idea that in selflessly assisting him she was auditioning for that part.In the leadup to her tenth Season, Meg Cynster--known to the ton's eligible bachelors as Miss Prim--takes to the country to ponder the question: If not marriage, then what? She has yet to find an answer when she comes upon a supremely elegant curricle, drawn by a pair of high-spirited horses presided over by an unconscious gentleman. Others present know where he's staying, but can't manage the horses. With no real choice, Meg accepts the responsibility and drives the gentleman home. Unfortunately, he's too inebriated to just leave, so she rouses him enough to help him inside.But then others arrive, and Meg learns the gentleman is none other than Drago Helmsford, the notorious Duke of Wylde--and in order to protect her reputation, she and Drago are forced to declare that they are engaged.Although a shocking surprise for everyone, by all measures, the match is highly desirable. Meg and Drago have no option but to allow the engagement to stand until the end of the Season, when they can quietly call it off. Consequently, they have to keep the fact that their engagement is a sham an absolute secret from everyone, including all members of their families.Through the ensuing whirl of the Season, with all eyes focused avidly on them, they duly pretend to be an affianced couple--roles that, to their surprise, come to them remarkably easily. With every member of their families and all the powerful in society being unrelentingly encouraging, both Meg and Drago, with eyes wide open, start to consider the possibility that marrying the other might just be the answer they'd each been seeking when they'd first met.Then accidents start happening and quickly escalate to attacks, and it becomes clear that someone is intent on preventing Meg from marrying Drago. Why is unclear, but with the threat hanging over them, the Cynsters and Helmsfords rally around to ensure Meg makes it to the altar. But even after the wedding, when Drago and Meg retreat to his estate, the attacks continue until, with their hearts and future on the line, Drago and Meg risk all in a gamble to expose the faceless villain and bring the ever-present danger to an end.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. By the Light of My Father's Smile is Alice Walker's first novel in six years--a stunning, original, and important book by "one of the best American writers of today" (The Washington Post). A family from the United States goes to the remote Sierras in Mexico--the writer-to-be, Susannah; her sister, Magdalena; her father and mother.  And there, amid an endangered band of mixed-race Blacks and Indians called the Mundo, they begin an encounter that will change them more than they could ever dream.  Moving back and forth in time, and among unforgettable characters and their stories, Walker crosses conventional borders of all kinds as she explores in this magical novel the ways in which a woman's denied sexuality leads to the loss of the much prized and necessary original self; and how she regains that self, even as her family's past of lies and love is transformed. By the Light of My Father's Smile presents, as Alice Walker puts it, "a celebration of sexuality, its absolute usefulness in the accessing of one's mature spirituality, and the father's role in assuring joy or sorrow in this arena for his female children."  It explores the richness and coherence of alternative culture, experience of sexuality as a celebration of life, of trust in Nature and the Spirit, even as it affirms the belief, as Walker says, "that it is the triumphant heart, not the conquered heart, that forgives.  And that love is both timeless and beyond time.".…

An intensely felt and extraordinary family memoir by Noelle Howey, who characterizes her touching and confusing sexual journey into womanhood as influenced by her relationship with her transgendered father and tomboy mother. Throughout her childhood in suburban Ohio, Noelle struggled to gain love and affection from her distant father.

At age fourteen, Noelle's mom told her the family secret: Dad likes to wear women's clothes. As Noelle copes with a turbulent adolescence, her father begins to metamorphose into the loving parent she had always longed for--only now outfitted in pedal pushers and pink lipstick.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Have you wondered if God really cares about your life? Have you asked yourself, Does He really love me? You can rest assured, God does love you and He thinks about you all of the time. In fact, He is captivated by the thought of you, and desires to be intimately involved in your life.In When God Chose a Father, you'll see the great love and care God took in choosing the man to be the earthly father of His Son. He took that same love and care in helping Joseph to be the father He required for Jesus, intimately involved in guiding him through life to help him accomplish the task that had been asked of him.As you read about the traits that made Joseph a man that would catch God's eye, you'll understand the godly traits that God is wanting to cultivate in you, and the results that come from them. You'll see the real-world issues that Joseph and Mary faced as they took on the responsibility of being Jesus' parents, and how God was with them every step of the way. God didn't leave them alone once Jesus was born - His presence and power were with them to help them in life, and He desires to do the same for you.You and I are not alone. God is willing and ready to be as much a part of our lives as we'll allow Him to be. Nothing is too small, or too large. He gave a part of Himself in the form of a newborn baby in order to bring us back into relationship with Him. He chose the parents for that child, and then moved in their lives to help them be the parents He had called them to be. He chose parents who would listen to His voice and seek after Him with their hearts. Those are both things that you and I can do. When we do those things, we can look to Him to be with us and help us.When God Chose a Father isn't just the story of Joseph, it is a look into the person that God chose for a critical part of His plan, understanding that he wasn't perfect. You aren't perfect, and neither am I, but just like Joseph, we can be used in wonderful ways by God. He isn't looking to us for perfection - He's looking in us to find hearts that are willing to live according to His ways and trust Him. Within the pages of this book you will find answers to questions, reason for hope, and practical wisdom to help you get to the place God has for you in Him .…
