DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Land Remembered has become Florida's favorite novel. Now this Student Edition in two volumes makes this rich, rugged story of the American pioneer spirit more accessible to young readers. Patrick Smith tells of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family battling the hardships of the frontier. The story opens in 1858, when Tobias and Emma MacIvey arrive in the Florida wilderness with their son, Zech, to start a new life, and ends in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that his wealth has not been worth the cost to the land. Between is a sweeping story rich in Florida history with a cast of memorable characters who battle wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the Florida swamp. In this volume, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at this side. His parents, Tobias and Emma, scratch a living from the land, gathering wild cows from the swamp and herding them across the state to market. Zech learns the ways of the land from the Seminoles, with whom his life becomes entwined as he grows into manhood. Next in series > > See all of the books in this series

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom New York Times bestselling romance author Kasey Michaels comes the first in her LOVE IN THE REGENCY series. Jack Coltrane grew up with his father's red-haired tomboy ward Meredith Fairfax chasing after him, always begging to tag along in his adventures during the years they resided at Coltrane House. Jack was variously annoyed, flattered, and as the years passed and childhood faded, both he and Merry sensed a slow change in their relationship. Friendship, blossoming into love. Love for each other, and a combined love for Coltrane House, fast falling into disrepair by his neglectful father. But one day the estate would be his, and Jack and Merry would make it beautiful again, raise their children there, and live happily ever after. Theirs was the perfect dream, until Jack's father took him aside to tell him something that sent his son fleeing from Coltrane House, away from Merry, perhaps never to return. Ah, love... why is it never easy? Oh...and then there's Jack's quite singular friend from America, and possibly a pair of matchmaking ghosts. Ghosts? Well, certainly - why not? Everyone loves a happy ending! **For a limited time, get two free books from Kasey > bit.ly/kaseymichaels (just copy and paste into your browser)**

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen death comes to a spouse, does the surviving spouse face a lonely sojourn on Earth in which reminiscing becomes the only recourse to experiencing those treasured joys of wedded bliss? Must the survivor receive consolation from merely an expected future reunion at death? Is the cherished loved one dead and gone—or alive in an inaccessible world beyond? How the surviving spouse chooses to answer these questions, in a way, is a matter of life and death. Must the surviving spouse languish in a world of perceived loss? Or is the “departed” loved one available and anxious to continue the life of wedded bliss? The poems in this book are written with a view to reaching people who find themselves in the situation of pondering these questions. Can there really be an Earthly/heavenly romance in which the beloved “departed” is not “dead and gone,” but “alive and here?” The poems in this book answer that question with a resounding “Yes!” As the last couplet of poem 4, “A Heavenly Hum,” says: Reminisce, my Earthly man, Rememb’ring THIS—We live again.
