Saat Beth mengadakan perjalanan ke Swiss untuk mengikuti paduan suara, ia bertemu Derek, cowok berkulit pucat, pendiam, dan kalem. Beth begitu cantik dan indah di mata Derek. Saat Beth pulang, Scott, sahabat terbaiknya, mengungkapkan sesuatu yang membuat perasaan Beth tak keruan, sebuah pengakuan.

Sebab, semakin Beth dekat dengan Derek, cowok itu justru semakin menjauh.

Contemporary Fiction
This is the ideal guide for those studying contemporary fiction for the first time. The last twenty-five years have seen an explosion of new developments in the English language novel. Because of its enormous diversity, however, the field of contemporary fiction studies can appear complex and confusing. Jago Morrison's Contemporary Fiction provides a much-needed accessible introduction to the field. He enables readers to navigate the subject by introducing the key areas of debate and offers in-depth discussions of many of the most significant texts. Writers examined include: Ian McEwan, Maxine Hong Kingston, Jeanette Winterson, Toni Morrison, Salman Rushdie, Angela Carter, Hanif Kureishi, Buchi Emecheta and Alice Walker. Tackling issues such as history, time and narrative, the body, race and ethnicity, this represents an important contribution to the understanding of contemporary fiction.
Risking Difference

It's a race against time to find the girl, be the bad guy and maybe, just maybe, stop the apocalypse.

ALONG THE WAY
This book was written to provide a genealogical account of my family history. There was a driving need to tell this story for the benefit of all of my family, but mostly for my children, Megan, Nicole, Natalie & Robbie, my two step-sons, Marc and Paul and all of those who will come after them. Many hours, weeks, months and years searching the genealogical archives of the Mormon Temple, countless interviews, many trips to grave sites, monuments, and travels to far away places, went into this writing. To give an account of a family's genealogy can be a most complex and daunting task. The research alone can be overwhelming. I have tried to provide the reader with as much detail and accuracy as ...
