This is a story set in the North Carolina Mountains. It is about two families of Scotch-Irish and also French decent. It centers in on one 11 year old girl and her 6 year old sister and two boy cousins, one is 12 and the other one is 8 years old. The story begins in the year 1914. The author got many of the story ideas for this book from an elderly lady who was doing an oral history for the Rural Life Museum Director at the college where the author of this book studied teaching. The author worked in the library. But this sweet lady decided she wanted to write her story and she requested someone to illustrate it and this is what brought the two together. While the elderly lady wrote her local history book, the college asked the author and the lady to do an Elderhostel Class for the college. The elderly lady told the author many stories she did not put in her book. One of these stories became the Fire and another the Grandfather. There really was a Frenchman who came to this community with his trained monkey and an organ grinder. And that monkey is really buried in the family cemetery. The author also included stories that her father told her such as the Ghost. This story was of a haunting lady that killed her husband in the early 1800s. She was hung for it in 1838 and this too is a true story from these mountains.
As the Moons Light Cove saga draws to a close, our hearts are filled with the growth of our beloved family both near and far. The reach of the McClure clan is felt all over the country, and their shared love and devotion to the Lord are front and center in all that they do. The conclusion of this incredible journey leaves us with mixed feelings of joy and sadness. Charles has the honor of giving one of his beautiful daughters away and watching two more develop into incredible young Christian women with love interests of their own. It seems just as Jewel is watching her children grow and leave home, God has a welcome blessing for her and the entire McClure family. A new resident of the cove brings closure to pains of the past and hope for the future. Gods promises are claimed as new hearts are opened to Jesus and rededications bring families back together. The enduring love of God continues to touch the lives of the people of Moons Light Cove, and its members spread far and wide. From the moment she entered the cove, Jewel has been shown overwhelming love and acceptance. As she has raised her family and instilled the Word of God in them, the spirit of love and kindness has spread from her home throughout the cove. As we close this final chapter, we are truly reminded of the love of God and his mercy that has created a jewel of great worth.
Playing for time explores connections between theatre time, the historical moment and fictional time. Geraldine Cousin persuasively argues that a crucial characteristic of contemporary British theatre is its preoccupation with instability and danger, and traces images of catastrophe and loss in a wide range of recent plays and productions. The diversity of the texts that are examined is a major strength of the book. In addition to plays by contemporary dramatists, Cousin analyses staged adaptations of novels, and productions of plays by Euripides, Strindberg and Priestley. A key focus is Stephen Daldry’s award-winning revival of Priestley’s An Inspector Calls, which is discussed in relation both to other Priestley ‘time’ plays and to Caryl Churchill’s apocalyptic Far Away. Lost children are a recurring motif: Bryony Lavery’s Frozen, for example, is explored in the context of the Soham murders (which took place while the play was in production at the National Theatre), whilst three virtually simultaneous productions of Euripides’ Hecuba are interpreted with regard to the Beslan massacre of schoolchildren.
Trois de Trois is a book consisting of three short stories that focus on circumstances and relationships. The novel includes “Louisa,” “Passion B,” and “La Gare du Nord.” “Louisa” is a narrative, not so much about circumstances but an account of the series of events that made rich family relationships. “Passion B” is in the spirit and how that which is not circumstantially possible may become possible. “La Gare du Nord” is the tale of the existing battle with the mesh of circumstances. How do you win?
Presents detailed analysis of a wide range of plays by British women dramatists from the last two decades. It will be invaluable reading for students of contemporary British theatre, literature and Women's Studies.
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - Pulitzer Prize winning author presents the stories of a wide range of Muslim women in the Middle East. As an Australian American and an experienced foreign correspondent, Brooks' thoughtful analysis attempts to understand the precarious status of women in the wake of Islamic fundamentalism. "Frank, enraging, and captivating." - The New York Times Nine Parts of Desire is the story of Brooks' intrepid journey toward an understanding of the women behind the veils, and of the often contradictory political, religious, and cultural forces that shape their lives. Defying our stereotypes about the Muslim world, Brooks' acute analysis of the world's fastest growing religion deftly illustrates how Islam's holiest texts have been misused to justify repression of women, and how male pride and power have warped the original message of a once liberating faith. As a prizewinning foreign correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, Geraldine Brooks spent six years covering the Middle East through wars, insurrections, and the volcanic upheaval of resurgent fundamentalism. Yet for her, headline events were only the backdrop to a less obvious but more enduring drama: the daily life of Muslim women.
The years have flown by for the people of the cove. Children have grown into young adults, and love is blossoming in the hearts and minds of many. But with love also comes heartache. Two people who thought nothing could ever come between them are torn apart by jealousy, anger, and resentment. Can years of love and friendship mend this rift? Will they look to God and remember that they must love and forgive one another as God first loved and forgave us. With the passing of years also comes the aging and passing of dear friends. But joy can be found in the knowledge that as Christians these friends have only moved on to their final reward and those left behind can look forward to a happy reunion one day. For those who know Christ as their Savior never have to say goodbye forever. As the seasons change so do the lives of the people of the cove. The lives of many will be changed forever with the long awaited return of a man, many had prayed would find his way home again. As children grow their parents must learn to let them go and trust that God will hold them safely in his hands. One particular mother in the cove learns this lesson through many prayers and tears. But just as she accepts that children must grow up and live their own lives God sends her an unexpected blessing that reminds her of his wisdom and grace. God tells us for everything there is a season and a time and place under heaven. Come and share the seasons and the changes with the people of the cove. Through their lives you will witness the wonder of Gods infinite love and the wisdom of his seasons of change.
A few years ago, a magazine sponsored a contest for the comment most likely to end a conversation. The winning entry? "I teach English grammar." Just throw that line out at a party; everyone around you will clam up or start saying "whom." Why does grammar make everyone so nervous? Probably because English teachers, for decades – no, for centuries – have been making a big deal out of grammar in classrooms, diagramming sentences and drilling the parts of speech, clauses, and verbals into students until they beg for mercy.

Preposition propositions and pronoun pronouncements Punctuation: The lowdown on periods, commas, colons, and all those other squiggly marks Possession: It's nine-tenths of grammatical law Avoiding those double negative vibes How to spice up really boring sentences (like this one) Top Ten lists on improving your proofreading skills and ways to learn better grammar Just think how improving your speaking and writing skills will help you in everyday situations, such as writing a paper for school, giving a presentation to your company's big wigs, or communicating effectively with your family.
