Book excerpt: That fine summer is about Mahala, who can do anything a boy can and most things better, even if she is scared of bulls and has troubles with multiplication! That summer -oh, fifty years or so ago when your own grandparents were young -Malie lea ed all sorts of thing about friendship and the out-of-doors, and about her grandmother after whom she was named. And if you want to see what life was like for young girls who were bright and a little headstrong a Newfoundland outport of those times, read on! That Fine Summer was first published in 1978 to wide acclaim and was quickly reprinted for use in Newfoundland schools. Set in Notre Dame Bay in the first half of this century, the story of Mahala, a very spirited and independent young girl, draws its inspiration from the author's own childhood memories and from the landscape from around the bay of Exploits where she and her friends had many a fine time themselves! This re-issue has been prepared so that young people in Newfoundland and Labrador will be reminded of their rich heritage, and so that children elsewhere can discover what it was like in those not so far off days in coastal communities before the decline of the fishery. A new set of illustrations has been prepared for this edition by Aileen Woolridge, noted Newfoundland artist and illustrator.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd takes readers into Scotland Yard detective Ian Rutledge’s past—to his perplexing final case before the outbreak of World War I. On a fine summer’s day in June, 1914, Ian Rutledge pays little notice to the assassination of an archduke in Sarajevo. An Inspector at Scotland Yard, he is planning to propose to the woman whom he deeply loves, despite intimations from friends and family that she may not be the wisest choice. To the north on this warm and gentle day, another man in love—a Scottish Highlander—shows his own dear girl the house he will build for her in September. While back in England, a son awaits the undertaker in the wake of his widowed mother’s death. This death will set off a series of murders across England, seemingly unconnected, that Rutledge will race to solve in the weeks before the fateful declaration in August that will forever transform his world. As the clouds of war gather on the horizon, all of Britain wonders and waits. With every moment at stake, Rutledge sets out to right a wrong—an odyssey that will eventually force him to choose between the Yard and his country, between love and duty, and between honor and truth.

With a thriving cooking business, full schedule of volunteer work, and a beautiful home in the Philadelphia suburbs, she should be content. But her teenage daughter can be a handful, her husband can be distant, her work can feel trivial, and she has lots of acquaintances, but no real friends. Still, Daisy knows she's got it good. So why is she up all night? While Daisy tries to identify the root of her dissatisfaction, she's also receiving misdirected emails meant for a woman named Diana Starling, whose email address is just one punctuation mark away from her own. While Daisy's driving carpools, Diana is chairing meetings. While Daisy's making dinner, Diana's making plans to reorganize corporations. Diana's glamorous, sophisticated, single-lady life is miles away from Daisy's simpler existence. When an apology leads to an invitation, the two women meet and become friends. But, as they get closer, we learn that their connection was not completely accidental. Who IS this other woman, and what does she want with Daisy?"--Publisher.

Book Synopsis One Fine Summer by : Kevin Zahn

Download or read book One Fine Summer written by Kevin Zahn. This book was released on 2014-10-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Years ago, some men got together and formed a Boys Club in a hard-working, hard-drinking, inner-city neighborhood in Baltimore, for the sole purpose of providing an opportunity for the local kids to play baseball. It was an effort that stood alone in an area of the city that needed it badly. It is my experience living there and coaching with them in the early 1980's that inspired this book. City Heights is a blue-collar, racially mixed neighborhood on the west side of Baltimore. The residents work at McCormick's spice factory, Bethlehem Steel, or the GM plant. They drink beer and eat steamed crabs. They root for their beloved Orioles and their kids' teams all summer. This is their story, centered on Coach Tommy, who, from a lack of steady work, takes the whole summer off to coach his kid's baseball team, drink with his buddies, and occasionally chase a skirt or two. The lessons learned in the baseball games are metaphors for the lessons learned about life. The sudden death of a young player and the defection of the team's best coach and player create struggles. The story details the difficulties the inner-city kids face going into the end-of-the-year tournament against the rich suburban teams. “Going home” is a term that develops a much deeper significance than merely scoring a run. Although the book includes lost romances, racial tension, sports struggles and drug problems, the ending gives the reader a ray of hope. Little Stevie, perhaps the second baseman with the smallest body and the largest heart anywhere, is “the one” who might make it out of City Heights with a baseball glove as his ticket.
