Hearts on Fire

Heartwarming Small Town Romance

By: Julia Gabriel

THIS SWEET FIREFIGHTER ROMANCE WILL MELT YOUR HEART ... Becca Trevor never intended to come back to pretty little St. Caroline, Maryland—where, growing up, she was the wild child/black sheep/girl who couldn’t get anything right. And she definitely never intended to see Jack Wolfe again, with whom she shared an unforgettable fifteen minutes seven years ago. Jack Wolfe was the golden boy of St. Caroline. Smart, Ivy League-educated, law school-bound. He has a nice, steady job as an attorney with a hotshot tech company in California … well no, scratch that. That’s just what everyone—including his dying mother—believes. He just has to keep his real life secret until summer’s end. But Becca has an even bigger secret of her own … one that will change hers and Jack’s lives forever. This sweet small town firefighter romance will melt your heart! Come to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Julia Gabriel’s new series about love, family, and second chances ... The 300-year-old town of St. Caroline, Maryland, is part fishing village and part summer playground for the wealthy and powerful. Meet the Trevor women—Michelle, Becca, Charlotte, Natalie, Cassidy and Lauren—and their popular quilt shop, Quilt Therapy. Across town, the men of the Wolfe family have been the backbone of the St. Caroline fire department for generations—and Tim, Jack, Matt and Oliver are continuing the tradition. Book 1: Hearts on Fire Book 2 Two of Hearts Book 3: This Reminds Me of Us Book 4: The Holiday Movie (coming 2023) **** Read what others are saying about Hearts on Fire ... "Julia Gabriel does an amazing job with this devastatingly, heartbreaking love story." -- RT Book Reviews, Top Pick "Hearts on Fire is a heart-wrenching and emotional read, with a sweet payoff that will leave readers smiling" -- InD'Tale Magazine “This book was so good, that I went back and ordered the rest of this series. This may have been my first book by this author, but it won't be my last.” “Grab the tissues - this second-chance romance is going to tug at all your heartstrings.” “I adored Hearts on Fire & I read this book way way past my bedtime.” "Holy Cow!!! This story was so riveting, that I just couldn't put it down." "Just wow!" "I am blown away at this beautiful love story! This should be made into a movie! Seriously, right from the very beginning you are hooked on the next chapter. I've always been a Mary Higgins Clark reader .... This book is gets my five star review!" "This book was so beautiful written. I couldn't put it down!" "Julia Gabriel touches the heart!" "I loved this book from beginning to the end! I read a lot of books, sometime in a single day! This book I wanted to savor and make it last!!" "This was a riveting tale that I could not put down. I wept, laughed, and was charmed by this full cast of delightful characters. Ms. Gabriel created a unique plotline that builds this novel with so much warmth that you just want to hug all of the characters to let them know everything will be all right." "I HIGHLY recommend this novel to anyone wanting a uniquely written contemporary sweet romance." "If you are looking for a clean romance that takes you through so much emotion, this is a great choice for you. Be ready for the tears, because they are coming, but know that the ending will make you smile!" "OMG!! I found a favorite "new" author! I adored Hearts on Fire & I read this book way way past my bedtime." "The advance copy I read of this book is my first by this author, and this lady has some mad writing skills. Not only did she create a quaint, sweet, small town setting that anyone would love to visit, all of the characters are dynamic, complex, realistic people that I felt like I knew personally. There are some tough topics that she masterfully addresses with compassion, tenderness and stark reality so much so that I felt the emotions right along with the characters. I laughed. I cried. I felt frustrated, uncertain and hopeless, and then relieved, joyful and at peace." "This is the first book I've read by this author. I am just blown away." "Heartbreakingly Beautiful. This is the first book that I have read by Julia Gabriel and I can honestly say that it will stay with me for a while. I couldn't help but love Becca (how can you not!). She sees herself as a walking, talking, disaster. I also really liked Jack, the golden boy meant for greatness, who couldn't truly be himself." "This book is truly what a great love story should be and I shed a few tears reading it. The emotions that come out from these characters are what makes it so amazing.

The Billionaire in Boots

By: Julia London

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia London delivers a sexy new contemporary western, where a lonesome rancher and a no-nonsense cowgirl learn that you don't choose who you fall for--love lassos you.... As the firstborn son, it's been drilled into Nick that he is the heir apparent to the Prince family empire. But cattle ranching has never been his true passion. Nick wants to be a pilot. However, when his father dies, leaving Nick to clean up the mess, he knows he must do his duty before following his heart. Charlotte Bailey can't believe that Nick is back to run the ranch. As the office manager, she knows it's her responsibility to help him. If only he wasn't so brooding and cranky--and so hot it's a wonder his chaps don't melt right off him. But when sparks fly between them, she's adamant about staying away from a cowboy on his way out the door. Nick knows the ranch's pretty, smart, and capable office manager is off-limits, but he needs her. And working in such close proximity to Charlotte every day is making Nick crazy. She smells good, she looks good, she makes him laugh, but most of all she makes him want to stay....

111 Places in Los Angeles that you must not miss

By: Laurel Moglen,Julia Posey

The ultimate insider's guide to Los Angeles Features interesting and unusual places not found in traditional travel guides "In Los Angeles, everyone is a star." — Denzel Washington For more than a century, seekers of sun and celebrity from around the world have flocked to this sprawling metropolis on the Pacific, which Dorothy Parker once described as "72 suburbs in search of a city." But beyond the red-carpet reputation and Tinseltown trappings is a west coast wonderland teeming with unexpected cultural experiences, iconic architecture, gorgeous open spaces, quirky museums, hidden vistas, unconventional art, and obscure stories about the starlets, moguls, personalities, and players who have made Los Angeles their playground. This unusual guidebook explores 111 of the city's most interesting and unknown places and experiences: wander a serpentine path in a spiritual quest of your own making; channel your inner cowboy at a tried and true honky tonk bar; pay homage to the Dude at the bungalow where the big Lebowski lived; turn your car tires into musical instruments on the country's only "musical" road; sleep with the ghosts of Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin; view a constellation of stars more vivid than anything Hollywood Boulevard has to offer. From the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, Angelenos and vistors will fall in love with the real Los Angeles. Adventures beckon. Surprises await. Just imagine how much more scintillating your dinner-party storytelling will be... »In Los Angeles, everyone is a star.« – Denzel Washington Seit mehr als einem Jahrhundert strömen Menschen auf der Suche nach Sonne und Prominenz in die riesige Metropole am Pazifik. Doch findet sich hinter dem ganzen Glamour ein unerwartetes Wunderland, in dem es von beeindruckender Architektur, hinreißenden Parks, schrulligen Museen, versteckten Aussichtspunkten, unkonventioneller Kunst und unbekannten Geschichten über Starlets, Filmmogule und Playboys nur so wimmelt.

Holocaust, Zeit und Erzählung

Traumatische Zeiterfahrung in H. G. Adlers Roman Eine Reise

By: Julia Menzel

This book examines the interrelationships between trauma, time, and narrative in the novel The Journey (1962) by the scholar, novelist, poet, and Holocaust survivor H. G. Adler. Drawing on Paul Ricœur’s philosophy of time and studies of time in literature, Julia Menzel analyzes how Adler’s novel depicts the experience of time as a dimension of Holocaust victims’ trauma. She explores the aesthetic temporality of The Journey and presents a new interpretation of the literary text, which she conceives of as a modern “Zeit-Roman” (time novel). Die Studie untersucht die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Trauma, Zeit und Erzählung in dem Roman Eine Reise (1962) des Wissenschaftlers, Schriftstellers, Dichters und Holocaust-Überlebenden H. G. Adler. Unter Bezugnahme auf Paul Ricœurs Zeitphilosophie und die literaturwissenschaftliche Zeitforschung analysiert Julia Menzel, wie Adlers Roman traumatische Zeiterfahrungen der Opfer des Holocaust zur Darstellung bringt. Sie erkundet die ästhetische Eigenzeit von Eine Reise und eröffnet eine neue Lesart des literarischen Texts, den sie als modernen Zeit-Roman begreift.

Design Your Life

The Pleasures and Perils of Everyday Things

By: Ellen Lupton,Julia Lupton

Design Your Life is a series of irreverent and realistic snapshots about objects and how we interact with them. By leading design thinker Ellen Lupton and her twin sister Julia Lupton, it shows how design is about much more than what's bought at high-end stores or the modern look at IKEA. Design is critical thinking: a way to look at the world and wonder why things work, and why they don't. Illustrated with original paintings of objects both ordinary and odd, Design Your Life casts a sharp eye on everything from roller bags, bras, toilet paper, and stuffed animals to parenting, piles, porches, and potted plants. Using humor and insight Ellen and Julia explore the practical side of everyday design, looking at how it impacts your life in unexpected ways and what you can do about it. Speaking to the popular interest in design as well as people's desire to make their own way through a mass-produced world, this thoughtful book takes a fresh and humorous approach to make some serious points about the impact of design on our lives. Find out what's wrong with the bras, pillows, potted plants, and the other hopeless stuff you use, buy, clean, water, or put away everyday. Discover how to secretly control the actions of those around you by choosing and placing objects carefully. Find out how roller bags are threatening civilization, and how the layout of your own house might be making you miserable. Use the tools of self-publishing to take the power of branding into your own hands. Taking a fresh, funny look at parenthood, housekeeping, entertaining, time management, crafting, and more, Design Your Life shows you how to evaluate the things you use, and how to recognize forms of order that secretly inhabit the messes of daily life, be it a cluttered room or a busy schedule. Use this book to gain control over your environment and tap into the power of design to communicate with friends, family, and the world.

Fate is about to give them an accidental plus-one. Two delightful romantic comedy novellas in one book from New York Times bestselling author Julia London. One Mad Night: In a modern twist on the hit TV show Mad Men, Chelsea and Ian are high profile ad execs who couldn't be more different. When a blackout puts NYC on lockdown, the two rivals are stuck in the office together overnight, only to discover the ways in which opposites attract... The Bridesmaid: In a twist on Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Kate and Joe meet for the first time in the midst of a storm and a transportation strike, while they are both trying to rent the last car available...

Jackie and her husband, Travis, are living the American dream. With a nice three-bedroom home in the suburbs, a swimming pool, and two beautiful sons, their family life is just about perfect. Then the unthinkable happens. Travis is killed in a tragic accident, and soon Jackie can no longer afford the suburban lifestyle. With her two boys, Jackie moves to Baker Street in Greensboro, North Carolina. Even though it's located in the Hamptons, a low-income housing area, Jackie is determined to raise her boys with all the advantages she can give them. She soon finds, however, that things work a little differently on this side of town. Gangs, drugs, and violence become routine in their lives, and Jackie tries desperately to find a way out. Jackie is not alone, either. Other families want out, too, but financial hardships and disabilities keep them where they are. With her husband gone and her spirit crying for peace, Jackie becomes a one-woman army, determined to stand up to the thugs and criminals who want to ruin the neighborhood and everyone in it.

Sugar Smart Express

The 21-Day Quick Start Plan to Stop Cravings, Lose Weight, and Still Enjoy the Sweets You Love!

By: Anne Alexander,Julia VanTine

Sugar is everywhere. Once confined to candy, desserts, and the sugar bowl, it has made its way into our peanut butter, bread, tomato sauce, and salad dressing. The average American eats nearly 130 pounds of added sugar a year, and 75 percent of 86,000 foods analyzed in one study contained added sweeteners. This information is now at the forefront of media, public policy, and water cooler conversation, and Americans are wising up to what a sugar-laden diet means for their health: added pounds that won't budge; heightened risk of Alzheimer's, diabetes, and heart disease; moodiness; fatigue; and cravings that seem to rule their daily lives. Based on the New York Times bestseller The Sugar Smart Diet, Sugar Smart Express is a revamped plan to give you what you've been asking for: an easy-to-follow plan that offers great results in less time, with even more tools for success. New content includes: - a new, 21-day plan to sweet freedom that scales back each phase without sacrificing results - shopping lists and a more comprehensive dining out guide to make eating on the plan a breeze - healthy, delicious recipes the whole family-even veggie-averse kids-will gobble up - updated success stories and "Sugar Smart Hacks" from The Sugar Smart Diet test panel

Bone on Bone

A Bell Elkins Novel

By: Julia Keller

Bone on Bone, the next powerful chapter in Pulitzer Prize-winner Julia Keller's beloved Bell Elkins series, sends readers headlong into the thick of a mystery as young as today's headlines -- but as old as the mountains that hold these lives in a tight grip. How far would you go for someone you love? Would you die? Would you kill? After a three-year prison sentence, Bell Elkins is back in Acker's Gap. And she finds herself in the white-hot center of a complicated and deadly case -- even as she comes to terms with one last, devastating secret of her own. A prominent local family has fallen victim to the same sickness that infects the whole region: drug addiction. With mother against father, child against parent, and tensions that lead inexorably to tragedy, they are trapped in a grim, hopeless struggle with nowhere to turn. Bell has lost her job as prosecutor -- but not her affection for her ragtag, hard-luck hometown. Teamed up with former Deputy Jake Oakes, who battles his own demons as he adjusts to life as a paraplegic, and aided by the new prosecutor, Rhonda Lovejoy, Bell tackles a case as poignant as it is perilous, as heartbreaking as it is challenging.

Politics and Religion in the United States

By: Michael Corbett,Julia Corbett-Hemeyer,J. Matthew Wilson

There is a complex relationship between religiosity and secularism in the American experience. America is notable both for its strict institutional separation of church and state, and for the strong role that religion has played in its major social movements and ongoing political life. This book seeks to illuminate for readers the dynamics underlying this seeming paradox, and to examine how the various religious groups in America have approached and continue to approach the tensions between sacred and secular. This much-anticipated revision brings Corbett and Corbett’s classic text fully up to date. The second edition continues with a thorough discussion of historical origins of religion in political life, constitutional matters, public opinion, and the most relevant groups, all while taking theology seriously. Revisions include fully updating all the public opinion data, fuller incorporation of voting behavior among different religious and demographic groups, enhanced discussion of minority religions such as Mormonism and Islam, and new examples throughout.

The Cold Way Home

A Novel

By: Julia Keller

[An] emotion-charged mystery.... Keller's sleuths are easy to like and the murder story is moving; but the object of fascination here is Wellwood, a state-run mental institution with a dark history as a repository for 'rebellious, unruly women.'" —The New York Times Book Review Pulitzer Prize-winning author Julia Keller welcomes readers back to West Virginia, where her lyrical and moving stories of the people of her native state have unfolded since A Killing in the Hills, the acclaimed first novel in the series. Deep in the woods just outside Acker's Gap, West Virginia, rises a ragged chunk of what was once a high stone wall. This is all that remains of Wellwood, a psychiatric hospital for the poor that burned to the ground decades ago. And it is here that Bell Elkins – prosecutor turned private investigator – makes a grim discovery while searching for a missing teenager: A dead body, marred by a ghastly wound that can only mean murder. To solve the mystery of what happened in these woods where she played as a child, Bell and her partners – former sheriff Nick Fogelsong and former deputy Jake Oakes – must confront the tangled history of Wellwood and its dark legacy, while each grapples with a private torment. Based on a true chapter in the troubled history of early treatment for psychiatric illness, The Cold Way Home is a story of death and life, of despair and hope, of crime and – sometimes, but not always – punishment.

Lady Bird Johnson: Hiding in Plain Sight

By: Julia Sweig

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A revelation . . . a book in the Caro mold, using Lady Bird, along with tapes and transcripts of her entire White House diary, to tell the history of America during the Johnson years.”—The New York Times The inspiration for the documentary film The Lady Bird Diaries, premiering November 13 on Hulu Perhaps the most underestimated First Lady of the twentieth century, Lady Bird Johnson was also one of the most powerful. In Lady Bird Johnson: Hiding in Plain Sight, Julia Sweig reveals how indispensable the First Lady was to Lyndon Johnson’s administration—which Lady Bird called “our” presidency. In addition to advising him through critical moments, she took on her own policy initiatives, including the most ambitious national environmental effort since Theodore Roosevelt and a virtually unknown initiative to desegregate access to public recreation and national parks in Washington, D.C. Where no presidential biographer has understood Lady Bird’s full impact, Julia Sweig is the first to draw substantially on her White House diaries and to place her center stage. In doing so, Sweig reveals a woman ahead of her time—and an accomplished strategist and politician in her own right. Winner of the Texas Book Award • Longlisted for the PEN/Jacqueline Bogard Weld Award

When Depression is Silent

By: Julia Ann Coleman

The little girl living in the white house with the fence grows into an adult surrounded by a fence of violence, crime, and shame. Undetected and denied diagnosis A young girl growing up in a middle-class family appearing to have all things she needed in the eyes of others, but behind the walls of her mind lived depravity, isolation, and the lack of love and affection. Julia’s parents failed to recognize the depression growing up with their little girl. Julia isolated herself from others which would linger on into her adulthood and depression that was kept silent. The undetected diagnosis sends her down the road to destruction with relationships and finally into a life of crime. Purpose of the pain destroys the promise Looking for love develops a false reality of love, abuse, violence, and deceptive behaviors that would place Julia in prison and a life of depression and suicidal issues. With each trial she encounters, she becomes closer to experiences that could ultimately destroy her and her children. A woman surrounded by so-called friends would wake up abandoned, incarcerated with strangers, and a long list of broken promises. Blessed results In the midst of threats of deceitfulness, depression, and sorrow, Julia is able to share the results of faithfulness, blessings, and commitment for changing her lifestyle and overcoming obstacles associated with the labeled consequences society attached to her for the remainder of her life. Due to hard work, finding a place of faith and honesty helped her make it through the process to stay in the race of life, seeing things from a different perspective. God stepped in several times to rescue her when she threw in the towel and could not see a way out.

Children's Mathematical Thinking in Primary Years

By: Julia Anghileri

This popular Continuum series, intended chiefly for teachers and trainee teachers, places strong emphasis on practice but at the same time incorporates the latest research in the field. The book demonstrates a strong belief in the ability of children to learn, and in the ability of teachers to increase children's learning potential. The series authors are distinguished practitioners in their fields who write with authority, but without jargon. With the increasingly popular constructivist framework for learning, teachers are coming to recognize the limitations of taught procedures and to find ways to encourage children to generate their own knowledge and understanding in mathematics. The challenge for teachers is to promote an environment that encourages mathematical thinking in which pupils of all abilities are able to achieve their full potential. This text brings together experiences of teachers and researchers who examine the ways children work mathematically, in order to provide an enhanced learning environment within the classroom. It also addresses key issues in current maths teaching.

A Killing in the Hills

A Novel

By: Julia Keller

In A Killing in the Hills, a powerful, intricate debut from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Julia Keller, a mother and a daughter try to do right by a town and each other before it's too late. What's happening in Acker's Gap, West Virginia? Three elderly men are gunned down over their coffee at a local diner, and seemingly half the town is there to witness the act. Still, it happened so fast, and no one seems to have gotten a good look at the shooter. Was it random? Was it connected to the spate of drug violence plaguing poor areas of the country just like Acker's Gap? Or were Dean Streeter, Shorty McClurg, and Lee Rader targeted somehow? One of the witnesses to the brutal incident was Carla Elkins, teenaged daughter of Bell Elkins, the prosecuting attorney for Raythune County, WV. Carla was shocked and horrified by what she saw, but after a few days, she begins to recover enough to believe that she might be uniquely placed to help her mother do her job. After all, what better way to repair their fragile, damaged relationship? But could Carla also end up doing more harm than good—in fact, putting her own life in danger? *BONUS CONTENT: This edition of A Killing in the Hills includes a new introduction from the author and a discussion guide

Families and Food in Hard Times

European comparative research

By: Rebecca O’Connell ,Julia Brannen

Food is fundamental to health and social participation, yet food poverty has increased in the global North. Adopting a realist ontology and taking a comparative case approach, Families and Food in Hard Times addresses the global problem of economic retrenchment and how those most affected are those with the least resources. Based on research carried out with low-income families with children aged 11-15, this timely book examines food poverty in the UK, Portugal and Norway in the decade following the 2008 financial crisis. It examines the resources to which families have access in relation to public policies, local institutions and kinship and friendship networks, and how they intersect. Through ‘thick description’ of families’ everyday lives, it explores the ways in which low income impacts upon practices of household food provisioning, the types of formal and informal support on which families draw to get by, the provision and role of school meals in children’s lives, and the constraints upon families’ social participation involving food. Providing extensive and intensive knowledge concerning the conditions and experiences of low-income parents as they endeavour to feed their families, as well as children’s perspectives of food and eating in the context of low income, the book also draws on the European social science literature on food and families to shed light on the causes and consequences of food poverty in austerity Europe.

Let Them Eat Kale!

Simple and Delicious Recipes for Everyone's Favorite Superfood

By: Julia Mueller

Kale is considered one of the world’s most powerful superfoods for very good reasons. It’s packed with antioxidants, which help neutralize free radicals in the body, which, in turn, helps to prevent many kinds of cancer. Just one cup provides more than 100 percent of the daily value of vitamins A, C, and K, and it’s low calorie, high in fiber, and fat-free. Furthermore, kale is high in iron and has a good dose of omega-3 fatty acids, which work as an anti-inflammatory and help fight arthritis, asthma, and autoimmune disorders. And to top all that off, author Julia Mueller proves that it can be delicious. With seventy-five recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack time, and even dessert, your whole family will quickly fall in love with kale. Here’s a sampling of the recipes included: • Blackened salmon with garlicy Cajun kale • Butternut squash and kale chili • Cauliflower and kale yellow curry • Grilled kale, peach, and corn salad with basil honey balsamic vinaigrette • Indian chickpea stew with kale • Roasted beet, walnut, and kale pesto • Sausage, fennel, and kale soup • Sautéed shrimp and kale tacos with pineapple, corn, and kale salsa • Savory cheesy kale pancakes • Shrimp, artichoke heart, sun-dried tomato pesto pizza • Turkey sliders with caramelized onions, sautéed kale, and blue cheese Each recipe is paired with a gorgeous full-color photo, making this not only a great cookbook, but a beautiful one as well. Whether you’re an experienced chef, or just trying it out for the first time, Let Them Eat Kale! is an invaluable resource for a delicious, healthy kitchen. Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Good Books and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of cookbooks, including books on juicing, grilling, baking, frying, home brewing and winemaking, slow cookers, and cast iron cooking.

“A beautiful, next-level, parent-friendly cookbook that will have a prime position on my counter for a long time to come.” —Jennifer Garner Julia Turshen has always been cooking. As a kid, she skipped the Easy-Bake Oven and went straight to the real thing. Throughout her life, cooking has remained a constant, and as fans of her popular books know, Julia’s approach to food is about so much more than putting dinner on the table—it is about love, community, connection, and nourishment of the body and soul.

With practical chapters such as weeknight go-tos, make-ahead mains, vegan one-pot meals, chicken recipes, easy baked goods, and more, Simply Julia provides endlessly satisfying options comprised of accessible and affordable ingredients. Think dishes like Stewed Chicken with Sour Cream + Chive Dumplings, Hasselback Carrots with Smoked Paprika, and Lemon Ricotta Cupcakes—the kind of flavorful yet unfussy food everyone wants to make at home.
