DOWNLOAD EBOOKA successful restaurateur gets a second chance with her childhood sweetheart in this romance classic by a #1 New York Times–bestselling author. With a little determination and a lot of charm, Rosa Capoletti took a run-down pizza joint and turned it into an award-winning restaurant, voted the “best place to propose” three years in a row. For Rosa, though, there has been no real romance since her teenaged love affair with Alexander Montgomery ended without explanation a decade ago. But guess who’s just come back to town? Reunited at the beach house where they first fell in love, Rosa and Alexander discover that the secrets of the past are not what they seem. Now, Rosa searches for happiness with the man who once broke her heart—and learns that in love, as in life, there are second chances. Originally published in 2004. “This is the perfect beach read.” —Debbie Macomber “Wiggs excels at portraying the delicate dynamics among lovers, friends and family members, and her keen awareness of sensory detail ensures that the scents and sounds of Rosa’s kitchen are just as palpable as the heady attraction between the protagonists.” —Publishers Weekly “A delightful summertime story of star-crossed lovers. . . . The romance reader will enjoy Summer by the Sea. It’s made a new fan out of this reviewer.” —BookReporter

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAll Jules Cogan Fiore wants is to collect the rent. That and make the mortgage payments on the ten rental properties she owns and manages on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. And pay for the upkeep on her Harley-Davidson motorcycle and her Irish wolfhound, Finn. Forty-five years old, unattached except to two grown sons, she’s a body-builder living the good life at the beach. But when Jules finds one tenant’s girlfriend, Gloria, with tears in her eyes and a grocery sack of crumpled dollar bills, she knows this transaction will be more difficult than usual. And then there’s the body on the beach—the dead body of her tenant and friend, Mark. Jules runs headlong into a police department that wants to close the case as quickly as possible. She persists in her search for the killer and the reasons for Mark’s death. She discovers much more: another dead body, the sad details of one young man’s life, facts about a cast of characters who are her neighbors at the beach, and the extent of her own unresolved feelings about death.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom experimental shorts and web series to Hollywood blockbusters and feminist porn, the work of African American lesbian filmmakers has made a powerful contribution to film history. But despite its importance, this work has gone largely unacknowledged by cinema historians and cultural critics. Assembling a range of interviews, essays, and conversations, Sisters in the Life tells a full story of African American lesbian media-making spanning three decades. In essays on filmmakers including Angela Robinson, Tina Mabry and Dee Rees; on the making of Cheryl Dunye's The Watermelon Woman (1996); and in interviews with Coquie Hughes, Pamela Jennings, and others, the contributors center the voices of black lesbian media makers while underscoring their artistic influence and reach as well as the communities that support them. Sisters in the Life marks a crucial first step in narrating the history and importance of these compelling yet unsung artists. Contributors. Jennifer DeVere Brody, Jennifer DeClue, Raul Ferrera-Balanquet, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Thomas Allen Harris, Devorah Heitner, Pamela L. Jennings, Alexandra Juhasz, Kara Keeling, Candace Moore, Marlon Moore, Michelle Parkerson, Roya Rastegar, L. H. Stallings, Yvonne Welbon, Patricia White, Karin D. Wimbley

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlbert Fahrnbauer vows on his Mothers deathbed that he will dedicate his life to the service of Mankind. He will develop a new scientific system of portraiture through color matched to each personality - a portrait that reveals a blueprint toward a radiant better life. But he has a problem. His portraits are terrible. Nobody wants them. He marries Barbara, a fellow art student, with the understanding she will help him develop his system. They will have no children. He wants her to join him every step of the way, painting only with his scientific mixtures. Unfortunately. Barbara prefers her free-spirited, messy way of painting. Her portraits sell, but she cheats on his system Volume 2 opens when they leave Florida for Atlanta, GA. They buy 14 acres on a hilltop. Albert is thrilled with the view all the way to Atlanta beyond the trees. Barbara is appalled at the crappy old house, no hot water, and a bathroom outside on the porch. They are both city people with romantic ideas. They want to live off the land, milk goats, and grow vegetables. They have no farming experience whatsoever. They make hilarious mistakes, suffer emotional traumas over crops and animals, endure periods of starvation, moments of euphoria, and violent arguments over ways to paint. It is also the time of Civil Rights, the 1950s. Their landlord visits them at Christmas with a K.K. Klan buddy. The preacher, politicians, neighbors and customers oppose any change in the racial customs and treatment of Negro people. Albert confronts them with his humanitarian philosophy. All people have a unique and wonderful radiance of living color, he tells them. His system will prove it - if only Barbara will use it. So goes the story of their different personalities, where each of them came from, and how their backgrounds inspire, damage, and diverge throughout their lives together.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLargely autobiographical and disarmingly ordinary, this is a novel in stories that explores relationship, voice, identity, race, class, and dogma, through the lens of intimate first and third person narrative. It also takes a refreshingly critical and humorous look at Buddhism and New Age in America, as well as America's increasingly alienating cultural and political stance in a rapidly changing global village.
