Just seeing someone who plays hockey, who goes to college, who has it all ahead of him, is tough for him. When Whit runs into Rainn in the bookstore, Rainn is virtually triggered by Whit. While he’s good at and loves hockey, his dream is to run the family farm with his older brother, Campbell. He’s in his senior year of college studying farm management. Leighton “Whit” Whittaker is an openly gay hockey player for Moo U in Burlington. Hockey was everything to him and without it he doesn’t know who he is. He’s not dealing with the loss of his dream career. Rainn’s family is in Rhode Island but he’s basically cut them out of his life. He’s been working at Vino & Veritas in the bookshop and as the book begins, picks up some extra shifts in the bar to supplement his meagre income. He was only a semester away from graduating with a degree in sports management, but he doesn’t believe there’s much point to that career now and hasn’t been back. It’s been four years since then and he’s stuck. Rainn Richardson is a former hockey player, scouted to play for the NHL in his senior year in college but injury put paid to that dream. Headstrong is book three in Vino & Veritas, a queer contemporary series written by various authors in Sarina Bowen’s True North World and set in and around the bookstore/bar Vino & Veritas.

As Donte fights against the systemic racism surrounding him, fencing opens up a whole new world. This is a compelling story of self-discovery with a brilliant sports-related plotline. But Donte has never been much into sports – and what will people think of a black fencer? Being arrested makes Donte question himself and his integrity, and he's determined to show Alan he has an equal right to be at the school: by taking him on at fencing. But now he's called the police and Donte is being taken away in handcuffs – just for dropping his bag on the floor in frustration.Īs regional champion and captain of the fencing team, Alan is the star of the school. It's bad enough the headmaster doesn't listen and just assumes Donte is guilty (yet again). And thanks to Alan, Donte is in front of the headmaster for something he didn't do (again). Since day one at predominantly white Middlefield Prep, school bully Alan has labelled Donte 'Black Brother'. He must know for certain if he will ever see his parents again, and is driven to find out firsthand what lies beyond, and what it holds for mankind. Ian, a defrocked priest, no longer trusts in religion's promise of eternal life. Angela, an agnostic, wants to help Ian heal the wounds of a traumatic childhood plane crash that took the lives of his parents. Years later, beautiful psychologist Angela Weber and her troubled fiancé, Ian Baringer, are on the hunt for Merton's long-lost journal and its door to the Afterlife. Six days later as Merton prepared to announce his discovery at a religious conference, he suffered a horrific death under mysterious circumstances. It's claimed he found a backdoor to the Afterlife, that he looked into the Mind of God and escaped with a secret so powerful it could change all humanity…bring wars to a standstill…end forever the age-old hatreds between races, creeds and cultures. On December 4, 1968, world-famous theologian Father Louis Merton visited the ancient Dead City of Polonnaruwa, Ceylon, entered the Cave of the Spirits of Knowledge, and experienced a vision. In Glenn Kleier's thrilling and sophisticated adventure, a defrocked priest embarks on an epic odyssey through the afterlife in search of answers to life's Ultimate Question. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Of the Origin and Design of Government in General, with Concise Remarks on the English Constitution He was analyzing the topography of the hills so that they could install catchwaters for when the rain came. Claire almost couldn’t imagine such a number, but Martin said it was barely enough for the people of Hong Kong, and he was sure that by the time they were finished, they’d have to build another. It was to hold four and a half billion gallons of water when full. Martin was an engineer, overseeing the building of the Tai Lam Cheung reservoir, so that there wouldn’t need to be so much rationing when the rains ebbed, as they did every several years. She had never dreamed of leaving England before. Churchill had ended rationing and things were starting to return to normal when they had received news of the posting. She went home and buried the expensive porcelain figurine under her sweaters.Ĭlaire and her husband had moved to Hong Kong nine months ago, transferred by the government, which had posted Martin at the Department of Water Services. It wasn’t until she was downstairs and waiting for the bus that she grasped what she had done. Locket had been staring down at the keyboard and hadn’t noticed. What had happened after that was perplexing, even to her. It fell off the doily (a doily! on the Steinway!) and into her large leather bag. It had been on the piano and she had been gathering up the sheet music at the end of the lesson when she knocked it off. The small Herend rabbit had fallen into Claire’s purse.

Jampolsky's first book, Love is Letting Go of Fear, which is based on the principles of ACIM, was published in 1979 and, after being endorsed on Johnny Carson's show, went on to sell over three million copies by 1990.

The book has been called everything from "New Age psychobabble" to "a Satanic seduction" to "The New Age Bible".

Vee, wife of an ambitious senator in 1970s Washington, finds herself a player in a House of Cards–type scenario, pressured toward sexual humiliation by her unscrupulous husband. Her magical powers can bring on a shocking physical transformation or reanimate a skeletal bird, yet she is still a prisoner in a gilded cage, mother to an heir, frustrated daughter of an imperiled tribe. Esther, selected from 40 virgins to be the second queen-after her predecessor, Vashti, was banished (or worse)-is the strangest. All three are grappling-some more dangerously than others-with aspects of male power versus their own self-determination. Esther, the Old Testament teenager who reluctantly married a Persian king and saved her people, is connected across the ages to two more contemporary women in a sinuous, thoughtful braid of women’s unceasing struggles for liberty and identity.īiblical Esther, second-wave feminist Vee, and contemporary mother-of-two Lily are the women whose narrative strands and differing yet sometimes parallel dilemmas are interwoven in Solomon’s ( Leaving Lucy Pear, 2016, etc.) questing, unpredictable new novel.
