【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！】Out of Death's Shadow, Or, A Case Without Precedent【電子書籍】[ Nicholas Carter ]

＜p＞Excerpt: "On the shady veranda of an old-fashioned Southern house, on the outskirts of St. Louis, two men in the prime of life were enjoying their cigars one fine morning. One, the younger, with a fair, full face and honest, gray eyes, after a long period of silence, said "To-morrow will decide her fate, Nick. You have worked up a strong case against her, but I am afraid of the jury." "The jury is all right. We have seen to that, John. Conviction is certain. It has been an easy case for me." The woman to whose trial reference had been made had killed her husband, but the deed had not been witnessed, and it was due to Nick Carter's efforts that a complete case for the prosecution had been made out. "Murder is a secret of such awful weight," said Nick, "that there are few men, to say nothing of women, who are able successfully to carry it." "It will out some time or other, eh?" "In the majority of cases, yes. Of course, there are[6] instances where the crime of taking human life has remained an unsolved and seemingly insoluble mystery, but such instances have, in my opinion, resulted either through a chain of accidents, impossible to foresee, or through the negligence or inefficiency of the officers of the law, whose duty it was to use all possible skill and diligence in arriving at the facts. In this woman's case we have, I think, exercised all necessary skill and diligence. To-morrow the end will come, and the next day I shall be on my way to New York." "You have been here but a week, Nick, and yet I feel as if I had known you a lifetime. When you introduced yourself as an old friend of my mother, I knew in a moment that I had myself found a friend, and one after my own heart.""＜/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。

【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！】I Go to Pieces【電子書籍】[ Sidney St. James ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Part 2: Sequel to True Love Ways＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞'m not a psychologist, nor am I even close to being a psychiatrist. But I can tell you for sure that I'm a professional genealogist and have been one for over forty years. Like many others, this novel explores how fate and love come together for four different families in four different parts of the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In my novel, Adversity ? Face to Face, the story studies love and rank and delves into a small community in Oldenburg called Rastede. It further follows the daughter of a minister of many years from Faith -Seventy Times Seven.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Okay, since I am writing this story, let's pretend I have all the training of a psychologist and a psychiatrist!＜/p＞ ＜p＞Do you have any thoughts about your partner? Do you sometimes ask yourself if they are right for you? Norman and Dianne never once had to ask that question in this follow-up sequel to True Love Ways.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If one must ask themselves too many questions about their partner, the relationship and future will not be based on true love. These two characters in the story don't question anything when it comes to their love. It feels natural to them, and they realize they can work through anything together to achieve the future they both dream of.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Then, let's look at Marco Nauman and his true love, Kerstin Hoffman. They find at the beginning of their relationship that one can't use love as a bargaining chip. One shouldn't tell their partner they love them unless they really mean it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Then, let's follow Medard Barbier and Simone Wolfensohn, their involvement with the others. They fulfill the old stereotype associated with marriage. Men marry for beauty while women marry for money. While there are, of course, exceptions to this rule, there is truth to it when you follow this couple＜/p＞ ＜p＞There's one thing another couple finds in our story that is not based on one of my previous books but based on my life as an author. I have found that true love must first be based on friendship. Have you watched the Hallmark Movie Channel? Have you noticed many of their movies are based on friends who fall in love, almost kiss at the end, and then finally they do kiss and fall in love… all this over two hours?＜/p＞ ＜p＞It's a great premise and a very lovely daydream, but life isn't a movie on a flatscreen. One doesn't need to be best friends with their partner since the first grade for love to last.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But you need to be friends with your partner first. You need to talk, share jokes, laugh, and enjoy each other's company. Over time, the physical passion might fade, but true friendship will last forever!＜/p＞ ＜p＞Again, I'm only pretending for a moment I have all these high degrees of understanding people or a degree in Psychology like my daughter Vanessa, but one love I didn't speak of is the love of one's own life. I stand in front of the mirror, just getting out of the shower, and grin at myself and say, "Honey, I'm looking good this morning! I look more and more like Sean Connery every day!" She looks back at me and says, "I really need to get me one of those magic mirrors on my side of the bathroom."＜/p＞ ＜p＞We must never forget that we need love, too. Self-love is essential, but it is not something you achieve and then throw it away once you are with your partner. One must stay in love with themselves for their entire life. If you ever start to dislike yourself or what you're doing, change right away and get back on track. Stay true to yourself… stay in love with yourself and the one you're with!＜/p＞ ＜p＞I hope you find the conclusion, I Go to Pieces, a great ending to True Love Ways. 〓＜/p＞ ＜p＞Happy Reading＜/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。

Trying to pick up his runs when he has diarrhea with a plastic bag, picking up her large loads; three, sometimes four, five times a day. Running into the woods after her when her favorite blue ball gets stuck in a thorn bush.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Her eyes looking up at me like, ＜em＞C’mon, Mom, you can do it. You’re only going to get pricked a thousand times!＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Love is realizing that when she gets scared, like when she hears thunder or a loud noise that sounds like gunshots and she goes cowering into her cage, that it’s okay. That I actually love getting on my hands and knees and petting her; comforting her during these times, telling her in a soft voice that it’s going to be okay.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Never having been married, I always lived life for myself. I was a gypsy; flying around from destination to destination, going on yachts, overseas, traveling the world, man after man, party after party, living for the moment.

I was too young to retire but I felt old… having lived a full life; a life only for myself. But now there was her, my big, beautiful German Shepherd beast.＜/p＞ ＜p＞She was fierce, loving, smart, strong, brave. And I never realized she would change my life in ways unimaginable.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Here is our journey.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And if you’re reading this, and you have the time or the money to rescue an animal, please do it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is written for you.＜/p＞ ＜p＞You will learn so much about yourself and about life; and through their eyes, see it so much differently.＜/p＞ ＜p＞* * *＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞CHAPTER ONE＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“I’m getting a dog!” I tell my friend, Lorna.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“A dog?” she stammers into the phone. “They’re a lot of work.

【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！】Istanbul: A Journey Back To Myself【電子書籍】[ Omar Raphael ]

＜p＞Istanbul is not a city you simply visit. It is a city that meets you where you are, holds a mirror to your heart, and quietly shows you who you are becoming.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Istanbul: A Journey Back to Myself＜/em＞, Omar Raphael arrives in the city carrying the weight of a life that no longer fits. What he finds is a place overflowing with contrasts. Ancient streets filled with whispers, skylines that glow with gold at dusk, and the unmistakable feeling that something in you shifts the moment you breathe its air.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Through reflective storytelling and the emotional honesty readers have come to love, Omar walks through Istanbul not as a tourist but as a man learning how to return to himself. Morning ferries across the Bosphorus remind him what it means to move forward. The call to prayer echoes through his chest like a promise. Conversations with strangers open doors he did not know he had closed. And somewhere between the old city and the new, he discovers that healing is not loud or dramatic. It is patient, steady, and deeply human.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is for anyone who has ever felt lost, tired, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. Through quiet moments, poetic observations, and the gentle rebuilding of hope, Omar reveals the rare magic of a city that does not fix you but guides you back to yourself with grace.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If you love emotional nonfiction, reflective travel writing, and books that make you feel understood, ＜em＞Istanbul: A Journey Back to Myself＜/em＞ will stay with you long after the final page.＜/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。
