This review is confined to the Kindle version of “The Promise” (I’ve never read the “real” book version), which was written by Danielle Steel, released by Dell Publishing, and marketed by Amazon. The majority of the book is sourced from brown's twenty-plus years of facilitation and mediation work with movement groups. Holding Change: The Way of Emergent Strategy Facilitation and Mediation is a self-help and business book that you can download in PDF or ePub format. Holding Change is about attending to coordination, to conflict, to being humans in right relationship with each other, not as a constant ongoing state, but rather as a magnificent, mysterious, ever-evolving dynamic in which we must involve ourselves, shape ourselves and each other. How do we practice them in ways that align with nature, with pleasure, with our best imagining of our future? How do we attend to generating the ease necessary to help us move through the inevitable struggles of life? How do we practice the art of holding others without losing ourselves? Black feminists have answers to those questions that can serve anyone working to create changes in our world, changes great and small individually, interpersonally, and within our organizations. In our complex world, facilitation and mediation skills are as important for individuals as they are for organizations. When the husband finally tries to wrest Chouette away from Tiny, it becomes a mortal battle between good and evil. Tiny feeds Chouette frozen pinkie mice, and she hunts gophers in the backyard. But encouraged by Tiny, Chouette is allowed to become her true self. Tiny’s husband, who insists on calling his daughter Charlotte, goes to great lengths to try to fix her, taking her to dicey doctors offering outlandish cures. When Chouette is born, she is indeed strange: winged, ferocious, and ugly. Tiny, an accomplished cellist, believes she has been impregnated by her “owl-lover” and that the baby inside her will most certainly be an “owl-baby.” Her husband fails to understand this, and Tiny leads the reader into the lonely terror she feels as she considers abortion, followed by her overwhelming, hormone-driven desire to have and protect the child. Oshetsky’s wild and phantasmagorical debut takes a Dantean journey through the violent fever dreams of a woman in the trials of pregnancy and early motherhood.

I was enthralled by the character of Lady Isabel Carlyle and her ill-fated life story. A sensational Victorian novel that tackles jealousy, love triangles, mistaken identities, murder, and divorce, East Lynne was seven hundred pages of unputdownable. Through the character of Hawkeye, Cooper raises lasting questions about the practises of the American frontier and the eclipse of the indigenous cultures. Free Essay: James Fenimore Coopers 1826 novel Last of the Mohicans, revolves around the journey a colonial scout named Hawkeye, and his friend, a Mohican. Set during the French and Indian War, Mohicans tells the tale of the journey of two daughters to meet their father, a colonel, at Fort William Henry. The Last of the Mohicans is one of the most famous tales of pioneer American adventure. Hawkeye, the colonial scout, and Chingachkook, the Mohican warrior are. The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper. Thwarted by Magua, the sinister 'Indian runner', they find help in the person of Hawkeye, the white woodsman, and his companions, the Mohican Chingachgook and Uncas, his son, the last of his tribe.Ĭooper's novel is full of vivid incident- pursuits through wild terrain, skirmishes, treachery and brutality- but reflects also on the interaction between the colonists and the native peoples. Last of the Mohicans adapted & illustrated. Through these layers of conflict Cooper threads a thrilling narrative, in which Cora and Alice Munro, daughters of a British commander on the front line of the colonial war, attempt to join their father. Their conflict, however, overlays older struggles between nations of native Americans for possession of the same lands and between the native peoples and white colonisers. Across north-eastern America the armies of Britain and France struggle for ascendancy. Time is short for Robby and Trace, and this makes their romantic connection all the more poignant. Throughout, there’s the expectation that Robby’s disguise will be uncovered or the ‘baddies’ will catch up with him. These scenes are delightful well-written and with great characters. No condoms or modern lube here, folks! Being a skilled actor, Robby takes to the role of ‘Rowena’ and whips the uncouth Crabtree ‘hillbilly’ men into shape, improving their manners and showing them how to treat their womenfolk with respect and consideration. The chemistry between them is smokin’ and we are treated to some lovely sizzling scenes. Their attraction and relationship builds steadily and, by the time they sneak some alone time together, they are seriously hot for each other. He’s strong and sexy and smart, and he soon works out who Robby is. Robby falls for Trace Crabtree, the sheriff of Flat Bottom and brother to Clovis. Robby Riverton finds himself in such a predicament, the only way he can escape the ‘baddies’ is to take the place of a genuine mail order bride destined for Clovis Crabtree. Apparently, mail order brides were a real thing in the old west, but Eli Easton certainly turned this trope on its head by making the ‘bride’ male. I loved this western adventure and romantic comedy all rolled into one. Despite the confines of a patriarchal society, she hopes to one day oversee Wedmore, a wealthy manor in Wessex. We may struggle in life, we may have to fight tooth and nail to eke out beautiful moments to hold onto and cherish, but in a romance novel, we are guaranteed a happy ending.Īvelynn has big dreams. We crave those delicious feelings that love inspires-the heart-pounding mixture of trepidation and excitement leading up to that first date, the breathless anticipation of a first kiss, the curious and delirious moments fumbling toward first base, the crashing, rolling surge of yearning culminating in that first night of wild passion. I have a weakness for romance books, because honestly, what’s not to love? A bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolate, a love note, a picnic beneath the stars. My debut novel, Avelynn, set in 869 Anglo-Saxon England is a historical romance. "We crave those delicious feelings that love inspires." In her list for us, Campbell tells us about her debut novel, Avelynn, and shares some other romance titles that turn things up hot, and even hotter. "What's not to love?" asks Marissa Campbell, about the romance. We may struggle in life, but in a romance novel, we are guaranteed a happy ending. |
