Their biracial child reaches out and builds a relationship with her white grandmother who raises her when her parents die. In the deep South, Ted, a handsome white, upper-class boy, falls in love with Amy, a beautiful African-American girl. They are torn apart by Ted's rich father John. Ted's mother Emily does nothing to stop the pain, grief, and violence John uses to break up the lovers. Years later, they reunite. Ted learns that Amy is dying and they have a daughter together. Ted and Katie quickly and naturally fall into their new roles as father and daughter. Ted's mother, Emily, doesn't want him to marry Amy and raise Katie. Amy dies and Emily won't let Ted bury her in the family plot. Mother and son break off all contact. Katie earns Emily's respect and slowly wins her over. After she has a change of heart, Emily wants to tell Ted she is sorry, but he's killed in an accident. Katie loses touch with reality after Ted's death. Emily sets aside her own grief to care for Katie. Emily stands up for Katie against a prejudiced preacher. Emily argues with Ted's best friend that she is fit to raise Katie and in doing so, faces the harsh reality of her own prejudice. Emily and Katie, an unusual pair straddling black and white cultures, become close and look after each other through the years.

And so Katie discovers that the Nightingales are far from your normal family...But what makes a normal family anyway?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like other fictional characters, female sleuths may live in the past or the future. They may represent current times with some level of reality or shape their settings to suit an agenda. There are audiences for both realism and escapism in the mystery novel. It is interesting, however, to compare the fictional world of the mystery sleuth with the world in which readers live. Of course, mystery readers do not share one simplistic world. They live in urban, suburban, and rural areas, as do the female heroines in the books they read. They may choose a book because it has a familiar background or because it takes them to places they long to visit. Readers may be rich or poor; young or old; conservative or liberal. So are the heroines. What incredible choices there are today in mystery series! This three-volume encyclopedia of women characters in the mystery novel is like a gigantic menu. Like a menu, the descriptions of the items that are provided are subjective. Volume 3 of Mystery Women as currently updated adds an additional 42 sleuths to the 500 plus who were covered in the initial Volume 3. These are more recently discovered sleuths who were introduced during the period from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1999. This more than doubles the number of sleuths introduced in the 1980s (298 of whom were covered in Volume 2) and easily exceeded the 347 series (and some outstanding individuals) described in Volume 1, which covered a 130-year period from 1860-1979. It also includes updates on those individuals covered in the first edition; changes in status, short reviews of books published since the first edition through December 31, 2008.

Book excerpt: Snuggling Up with Mr Darcy A Pride and Prejudice Christmas Holiday Variation Christmas is a time for forgiving…except for where George Wickham is concerned. When Fitzwilliam Darcy finds himself in the French Alps fighting to keep his family business out of the hands of the man he despises, the last person he expects to see is Elizabeth Bennet, the woman who rejected his proposal three years earlier, the woman who broke his heart. Elizabeth is lonely living in the alps, single and working nights she has no one to come home to, no one to cherish, no one to snuggle up with. But in Darcy she finds a changed man, his warmth and ease around her giving her a glimpse behind his stoic reserve, a glimpse into the real man behind the mask. As old feelings are reawakened and the snow and the mistletoe start to weave their spell, our dear couple begin to wonder if this holiday romance might just be developing into something deeper than before. But when Darcy’s pride and prejudice mistakenly overrule his heart, he risks losing Elizabeth Bennet’s love forever. This Christmas, will the magic of love and forgiveness give Darcy a second chance to win back the only thing he wants this holiday season, or will it take a Christmas miracle to win back Elizabeth Bennet’s heart? Snuggling Up with Mr Darcy is a contemporary set Pride and Prejudice Christmas Holiday Variation.

Download Troubled Legacies PDF Format Full by Allan Hepburn and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Last wills and testaments create tensions between those who inherit and those who imagine that they should inherit. As Victorian, modern, and contemporary novels amply demonstrate, seldom is more energy expended than at the reading of a will. Whether inheritances bring disappointment or jubilation, they create a pattern for the telling of stories, stories that involve the transmission of legacies - cultural, political, and monetary - from one generation to the next. Troubled Legacies examines these narratives of inheritance in British and Irish fiction from 1800 to the present. The essays in this collection set out to juxtapose legal and novelistic discourse. This reading of literature against law produces intriguing and often provocative assertions about the specific relationship between novels and inheritance. As the contributors argue, novels reinforce property law, an argument bolstered by the examples of women, workers, Jews, and Irishmen dispossessed of their rights and unable to claim their cultural inheritances. Troubled Legacies thoroughly examines the connection between narrative and claims to legal entitlement, a topic that has not, to date, been comprehensively broached in literary studies.
