In this contemporary romance, a small-town contest with a cash prize rekindles a childhood prank war between a reporter and her handsome rival. Only one can come out on top… Sandra Kelly has a take-no-prisoners policy when reporting the local news—and for getting what she deserves. For instance, first place in the Townsperson of Year contest, and a promotion at the station. Except, one man stands in her way. Cooper Hall needs to win the upcoming Townsperson contest for reasons of his own—and a certain sexy journalist won’t stop him. No prank is too complicated, no scheme too elaborate, and her red lace underwear will not distract him. Much. They signed a peace treaty years ago and swore they’d never speak of the pranks again. But when they both set their eyes on the same prize, their prank war rekindles. This time, they aren’t stopping at tighty-whities on flag poles and stuffed tarantulas, either. Love has no place in war, and these two enemies play to win. “A humorous romp from start to finish...Heart-warming, sweet.”—InD’tale Magazine
In 1946, at the age of 41, Janice Holt Giles wrote her first novel. Although it took her only three months to complete the first draft, working at night so as not to conflict with her secretarial job, it was another four years before The Enduring Hills was published. Three years later, when her sixth novel appeared, Janice Holt Giles's works had accumulated sales of nearly two million copies. Between 1950 and 1975 she wrote twenty-four books, most of which were bestsellers, regularly reviewed in the New York Times, and selected for inclusion in popular book clubs. Her picture held pride of place in her literary agent's New York office, alongside those of Willa Cather, H.G. Wells, and Edith Wharton, yet until now there has been no biography of this immensely popular American writer. Humbly professing to be "just a good storyteller," Giles was a keen observer of life with great sensitivity, an ear for language, and a superb imagination. Her artistic achievements become even more remarkable when placed in the context of her often difficult personal struggles. Dianne Watkins Stuart, for years the acknowledged expert on Giles's work, has traced the path of her unique life. Stuart walked around the small house where Giles's brother was born and The Kinta Years (1973) had its origin, wandered through the yard where The Plum Thicket (1954) grew, and made countless trips to Adair County, Kentucky, to trace the trails of the Piney Ridge trilogy (The Enduring Hills, Miss Willie, Tara's Healing) and seek out the day-to-day life of her later years. Stuart's long-anticipated biography provides both a narrative of Giles's life and an in-depth description of the art and commerce of American publishing in the middle years of the century.
Angels Are For Real is the true and inspiring story of an eight year old boys encounter with Angels while enduring a rigorous two year battle with Leukemia. Gabriel William Stuart visualized, spoke with, and shared emotional moments of reassurance, strength, and comfort with Angels. His Angels were sent from Heaven according to Gods purpose. They delivered a gift of peace to Gabriel, his family, and to all who were a part of his life while coping with cancer. It was Gabriels Angels that gave his father an authentic belief in the life, the death, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was also his Angels that gave Gabriel the words to a song that was written for his mother, carrying a message of understanding to what will happen Someday. Oh, someday I know well be together forever. Come to me and I know we wont be apart, but someday I know well be together forever. Oh come to me from the sky and let our spirits be in harmony. I know we wont be apart, oh come with me and see the moon and stars. Oh come with me into the sky; I know we wont be apart. Oh someday, I know well be together forever. Gabriel Stuart 2004
A new way to determine whether a business strategy will lead to profitability. This book teaches readers to understand profitability in a systematic way, equipping them to provide logically coherent answers to questions about whether a new venture will be profitable, if changes in business strategy will generate an increase in profits, or if “staying the course” will result in continued profitability. Unlike books by business gurus that offer one-size-fits-all advice, this book starts from the premise that you, the reader, are in the best position to make difficult judgments about your business. It shows how to turn these judgments into coherent analysis, presenting state-of-the art theory for understanding business strategy from an economic perspective. The basic building block is the value that is created when the buyer and seller make a deal. In simple terms, if a company is to be profitable, it must make a favorable deal with each and every customer. After setting out key principles and applying them to market situations, the book teaches readers to apply the analysis to their own businesses—in other words, to create their own business game, the main ingredients of which are people and the value that they can create. It addresses how to integrate strategic moves into the book's theory of value creation and competition in order to address the sustainability of a company's profits, the effectiveness of the “invisible hand,” and restrictions to competition. Optional appendixes explain the relevant mathematics.
The American Civil War shaped the course of the country's history and its national identity. This is no less true for the state of Arkansas. Throughout the Natural State, people have paid homage and remembrance to those who fought and what was fought for in memorial celebrations and rituals. The memory of the war has been kept alive by reunions and preservationists, continuing to shape the way the War Between the States affects Arkansas and its people. Historian W. Stuart Towns expertly tells the story of Arkansas's Civil War heritage through its rituals of memorial, commemoration and celebration that continue today.
This book is a work of historical and cultural significance. Adoniram Judson was the first American missionary to Burma over 100 years ago. This book is not about him. This book is about the intrepid women who worked by his side. Written by Arabella Stuart at a time when women were just beginning to be recognized as writers in Western society, this book is about the Lives of three courageous and selfless women: Mrs. Ann H. Judson, Mrs. Sarah B. Judson and Mrs. Emily C. Judson. These three were all married in succession to Adoniram Judson, and they were all, in their own right, among the earliest missionaries to Burma. This is a book of love -- of commitment to a cause greater in importance than any personal sacrifice. At times gentle and at turns hair-raising, this is a thrilling story of three women who are examples to each one of us, men and women alike.
