【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Beneath The Promise Ring【電子書籍】[ Moagi Sharp ]

＜p＞Susan, at thirty, had meticulously crafted a life of serene comfort and predictable joy with Joseph, her devoted partner of three years. A landscape architect with a kind heart and an unwavering gaze, Joseph represented all the stability Susan had yearned for after a tumultuous past. She knew a proposal was imminent, a glittering promise of a future built on mutual respect and quiet contentment. And Susan, having buried the wilder parts of her soul after her last devastating heartbreak, was ready to say yes, convinced she'd found her safe harbor.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But life, as it often does, had other plans for Susan. Just as Joseph was about to drop to one knee during a meticulously planned romantic getaway, Susan literally collided with her past. Peter, the charismatic, fiercely passionate artist who had shattered her world years ago, was back. Older, perhaps wiser, but still possessing the electric current that had once coursed through her veins, his eyes held the same intensity that had simultaneously captivated and tormented her. His first words weren't a greeting, but a raw, unbidden declaration: "I never stopped loving you, Susan. Not for a single day."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Peter's sudden, heartfelt reappearance plunged Susan into an emotional maelstrom. The carefully constructed peace of her life with Joseph began to crack. Old memories, both exhilarating and painful, resurfaced with a vengeance. She confided in her best friend, Rachel, who, ever the voice of reason, reminded Susan of Peter's past unreliability, urging her to not sacrifice Joseph's steadfast love for a fleeting, passionate echo. Yet, Susan couldn't shake the intoxicating pull of Peter's intensity, the vivid dreams they once shared, and the undeniable truth that a part of her soul had always belonged to him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Peter, aged by experience but fueled by regret, pursued Susan relentlessly, not with games, but with a vulnerable honesty that belied his former wildness. He recounted his journey, the growth he'd undergone, and how he had finally built a life capable of sustaining the fierce love he still held for her. He reminded her of the parts of herselfーthe adventurous, the uninhibitedーshe'd locked away after he left. Meanwhile, Joseph remained the epitome of unwavering devotion. He sensed Susan's distraction, the subtle shifts in her laughter, but his love for her was a constant, warm presence, planning their future with quiet determination, unaware of the seismic shift occurring beneath her surface.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The tension reached its breaking point at Joseph's beautifully orchestrated proposal, a moment designed to cement their future. As Joseph, with tears in his eyes, presented the glittering ring, a desperate message from Peter arrived. It was a final, heartfelt plea, confessing he couldn't bear to watch her marry another, but that she would forever be his "what if." Susan was paralyzed, the promise ring sparkling before her, Peter's raw confession echoing in her heart.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In that searing moment of truth, Susan realized that her choice wasn't simply between two men, but between two versions of her own future, two halves of her own desires. She couldn't choose ＜em＞between＜/em＞ stability and passion, but must choose a love that finally encompassed both. Her journey of gut-wrenching introspection leads her to a profound, liberating decision ? one that will define not only her romantic path but also her truest, most authentic self. Can Peter, scarred by his past mistakes, truly offer the stability her heart now craves, alongside the passion it still aches for? Or will Susan ultimately realize that true, enduring love, with its own profound depths of passion, lies with the man who never wavered, the one who patiently offered her a safe harbor through every storm? Her reckoning will pave the way for a future she truly believes in.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

I made sure your words remained true, Ashalata. I proved to your arrogant, wealthy uncle that a poor farmer doesn't just cultivate crops in the field; he can also cultivate change in people's lives.

And now, I must return to my village, even if it means walking in darkness for the rest of my days.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But do you know what hurts the most, Ashalata? I will never again see the river that holds our memories, the golden fields swaying in the wind, the birds that once sang our names, or the endless white kashbon where we once walked together. My world will now be nothing but shadows. But even in that darkness, I will find solace, knowing that somewhere in the light, you are living the life I always wanted for you."＜/p＞ ＜p＞With those final words, Aakash turned and walked away, his blind eyes never looking back.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ashalata stood frozen, her heart shattered beyond repair.

＜p＞This is the first book of the Kivattar Bridge, a fantasy in four books. The Bridge is the key point on the path followed by the shadowy Kivattar towards the deepest mysteries of existence. The story traces that hidden path through the lives of four young people, the rawest, most chaotic Kivattar group ever formed. As they travel across an exciting world that is ancient, but far from primitive, with a rich diversity of characters, cultures and habitats, the young group are pushed headlong into the heart of the relationship between human life and the universe we inhabit.＜br /＞ The first book starts as a traditional story in which the young people are persuaded to step out of their normal lives to search for a legendary talisman. The search will take them to distant and dangerous lands where they will soon find themselves facing the powerful enemies glimpsed in the prologue. All four live in a peaceful rural homeland, ill-prepared for what is to follow as one by one they encounter their future guides and mentors, the mysterious Kivattar. Their peace ends abruptly as the first enemy strikes. The Kivattar realise the time for waiting is over and call the young group together to convince them that the talisman legend is true and that they personally are involved.＜br /＞ They make the long journey west to the Empire where the talisman is prophesied to appear. At this point they are little more than children, but as they are steered through one intense danger after another by their Kivattar guide, they grow up fast. What started as fantasy becomes more real to the young group with each new challenge, drawing them deeper into a struggle with an intricate history measured in thousands of years. When they reach the west coast, the time and place of the talisman's coming appearance in the Empire capital are confirmed. To have any chance of completing the mission they must all be there by the spring festival.＜br /＞ At this point it all goes wrong. The group is scattered, two of them trapped aboard a ship making a long haul south and the other two sold off as slaves. Their Kivattar guide rescues the slaves, while the others fight clear of villains, storms and pirates to reach the capital just in time, only to find themselves all thrown into the dungeons. Awaiting them is a sinister priest who intends to claim the talisman for himself, and even more dangerous, the Imperial Princess who plans to execute them all on the final day of the festival. At last the talisman appears and the group escape, hotly pursued by the Imperial army who blame them for the Emperor's assassination. They are saved by the intervention of the fierce Sarai people who take them to the safety of their inaccessible plateau.＜br /＞ By this time the young people are aware that their lives have been irrevocably changed, but they know nothing yet of the Kivattar path and their own unique role in the future of the world.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Children’s voices fill the air in play, but I brace myself for the inevitable scream of frustration from one little girl. It is an emotion I can relate to, but for me, screaming is against the rules.＜br /＞ Mollie Veale 1949＜/p＞ ＜p＞July 1946 ?

古本, フィクション, 文学, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Education of Little Tree - Forrest Carter (Univ of New Mexico Pr) 【紙書籍】 0826308791

タイトル: Education of Little Tree著者: Forrest Carter出版社: Univ of New Mexico Pr出版日: 1990年07月01日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Forrest Carter, from the age of four or five, was inseparable from his part-Cherokee grandfather, who owned a farm and ran a country store nearby. Granpa called him Little Sprout; when he grew taller, he became Little Tree. From Granpa he absorbed the Cherokee ethic; to give love without expecting gratitude, to take from the land only what you need. Little Tree watches a mountain storm when Nature is birthing Spring, learns bird signs and wind songs and which crops to plant by the dark of the moon. He hears the true story of the Cherokee Trail of Tears, and why it is not the Indian who wept, but the watching white man. From a Jewish peddler who came every season to Granpa's store he learns a lesson in charity; from a sharecropper he learns to understand misplaced pride. He escapes death through Granpa's courage and confronts, for the first time, the hypocrisy and brutality of white Americans.Much of the lore passed from generation to generation by word of mouth is found in these stories in "The Education of Little Tree," autobiographical if not all factually accurate. For instance, Granma is based on family memories of Carter's great-great-great grandmother (Granpa's great-grandmother), who was a full Cherokee, combined with the author's own mother, who read Shakespeare to him when he was a child. But Granpa is all and forever true in this storyteller's memoir of a time that ended when Little Tree was ten and Granpa died.

＜p＞This is a story of a man whose remarkable life experiences and adventures in many ways exceeded even that of the fictional Forrest Gump, but unlike the make believe character of the 1986 novel written by Winston Groom and later made into the blockbuster movie in 1994, the life story of Edward Primoff is true.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Born in the midst of World War II and shortly thereafter with a father off to fight in the conflict, Primoff, with his mother and older sister were forced to live in project housing. His school days were a nightmare experience of being horribly ridiculed and humiliated by teachers for his inability to read and bullied by fellow students.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although his parents were loving, his father advised him not to entertain any grandiose thoughts of gaining meaningful employment in the job market. He was underrated by his Air Force officers and his employers and scorned in two failed marriages.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With all odds stacked against him, Primoff used the ridicule, the predictions of eventual failure and all those who felt he would amount to someone who would live a life supported by government assistance, to become a man determined to prove them all wrong; a man driven beyond success.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His willingness to do what others were not; to work hard for very long hours coupled with an uncanny ability to read the future business climate led him to achieve goals beyond anyone's expectations, including his own.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Primoff shares some of the adventures of his amazing life; how he became a huge success as a business owner, his double-life working with the FBI; several near-death experiences including a plot to murder him; his reflections on the politicians and celebrities he came in contact with in the George W. Bush White House, and the fight to clear his home county of corruption in high office. For nearly half his life he has lived on borrowed time after doctors said he would not live past the age of 40.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Driven Beyond Success is the story of a man who overcame unbelievable challenges while never losing his faith in God or the country he cherishes. This is a remarkable true life journey with stories that will bring tears of joy and sadness; at times will make you laugh and thrill.

＜p＞Choices are hard.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Melissa “chose” the conventional life in the way most people choose a conventional life; it seemed to simply happen to her. So, she chose to be a “happily” married mother and nurse, living a quiet, simple life. A good life. The kind of life her mother lived, and her mother before her.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Until she couldn’t bear it anymore.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A colicky baby. Postpartum depression. A sense of the walls closing in. A moment of desperate inspiration. A baby product. What started at her dining room table as a basket and unique fabric liner eventually reached overseas production, international distribution to five countries and the shelves of such giants as Target and Babies“R”Us. Ultimately, to be acquired by a large juvenile company in 2011.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Melissa tried to walk both roads at once. But she was like a blind, obsessed traveler. A sensible person would have given up. But it was a “sensible” traveler who had opted for the conventional life to begin with. So, though the process was as frustrating and hopeless as moving sand from one end of the beach to the other, Melissa could not stop. She would not. A passion had overtaken her.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Her idea, her invention, would not die. It had become her only hope for her emotional survival. Disasters and tears outweighed the victories ten-to-one during those seven years. A second colicky baby, a crippling postpartum depression with flashes of psychosis, a mother losing her battle to pancreatic cancer, a nervous breakdown and lockup, a flailing business that survived the 2008-09 economic crisis, an affair, a tenacious, bottomless bottle of vodka, one foot in the door of bankruptcy, divorce.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Ultimately, there were two roads. The conventional, a marriage and family with everything done according to plan. The other, a business where everything was essentially done wrong.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One led to failure.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The other to success and the rebirth of a new woman, a woman who found a way to her true self, true happiness and even contentment for her family and herself.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
