Peace Like a River

In 1982, before Matheson had fully achieved the cult-and-grandmaster status that he enjoys today, Playboy Press published a version of his erotic ghost story that was so severely edited that Matheson took his name off the book and instead published it under the name Logan Swanson.In this restored version of the original manuscript, David and Ellen Cooper's 21-year-old marriage is nearing the rocks, so they decide to leave Los Angeles for a honeymoon and go to Long Island. Soon after they arrive at their beach cottage, a strange woman, Marianna, appears to David, and he is immediately entranced.

Two years ago, when Linda Kendall's husband and children died in a tragic car accident, she wished she had died too--and believed that her life was over. When she accepts the position of nanny to the Conde Duarte de Dominga's three young charges, she believes she will never again feel passion for another man.But the Conde teaches her differently. Charming and handsome, his presence fills Linda with a desire she'd believed herself incapable of--and reminds her of the joys of being alive. And when he proposes marriage, Linda is tempted to accept. But can she allow herself to love again--and open up her heart once more to loss?

The Secret of Rover follows the clever and resourceful twins Katie and David as they race across the country in their attempt to outwit an international team of insurgents who hold their parents and baby sister captive in a foreign land. Held hostage because they invented a spy technology called Rover that can locate anyone in the world, Katie and David's parents are in grave danger. Now, it's up to Katie and David to rescue them. But first they must find their reclusive uncle, whom they have never met—the only person they know who can help them. This page-turning story from a debut author with insider knowledge of Washington is fun, suspenseful, and convincingly real.

A Radiant Life presents the unequivocal voice of Nuala O'Faolain tackling a vast range of subjects from Catholicism to feminism, from Sinatra to Africa, and from Irish American culture to Islam and the West. Curious and funny, tender and scathing, O'Faolain's columns were never less than trenchant and were always passionate. "I was blinded by the habit of translating everything into personal terms," she writes apologetically, but this is the power of her journalism. Through the prism of casual, everyday encounters, O'Faolain presses her subject, reaching beyond the prompting of the moment to transcend topicality. The result is a cumulative historical narrative, an inadvertent chronicle of a transformed Ireland by one of its sharpest observers and canniest wkkk.net for A Radiant Life:"This book is a gift." -The Boston Globe

王茂田哈欠连天地填完自己的选票，就趴在桌子上睡过去了。选举结果出来时，茂田老汉正睡得昏天黑地，旁边的人好歹把他晃醒：王老汉，村支书的大帽儿扣你头上啦！接着，镇里的路副书记敲了敲话筒，招呼王茂田上主席台。茂田老汉的老脸忽忽地发起烧，恨不能钻进桌洞里去，他脸红脖粗地说句不耍笑不耍笑，抓起烟袋就往屋子外跑去。王茂田跑出村部大院，心里还是感觉怪丢人，生气得慌。大山窝子村党员群众一个样，老是把选举当成戏耍，投出些稀奇古怪的人出洋相，平日里拿出来寻开心。

一个强大的国家是其内部力量积蓄的外延，根本之处不在于一成不变地沿着一条路走下去，而是在每一个旭日东升、夕阳西下，依然步履匆匆的时候，都留有思索未来的空间。不让繁琐的过程缠住灵动的思想，不因肉体的歇息而冷落了精神无止境的耕耘。行于路，当思于路。
