Determined to find a way to prove it, they track down the trio of rich, powerful men they know are responsible for their friend's death. Hidden behind walls of money, connections, and respectability, these men seem to be untouchable. But like Robin Hood's merry men, King Arthur's knights, and the Girl Scouts rolled into one, the adventurous and brave quintet of women will risk everything to bring these men down. They know what will happen if they fail. But Polly, Kat, Charlotte, Dinah, and Justine don't count on the ways their lives will change when they succeed. What goes around comes around . . . and Ginger's friends may finally get the lives they most want.
Reclaiming the first century as common ground rather than the origin of deeply entrenched differences: liberating the past to speak to us in another way. Conventional readings of antiquity cast Athens against Jerusalem, with Athens standing in for “reason” and Jerusalem for “faith.” And yet, Susan Buck-Morss reminds us, recent scholarship has overturned this separation. Naming the first century as a zero point—“year one”—that divides time into before and after is equally arbirtrary, nothing more than a convenience that is empirically meaningless. In YEAR 1, Buck-Morss liberates the first century so it can speak to us in another way, reclaiming it as common ground rather than ...
At fifty-six, Paul Justin must close his bookstore which he has managed for over fifteen years at a major shopping center in Long Island, New York. B. Dalton moved in and his sales plummeted. He soon finds a job as a sales rep with a publishing/remainder company, and his travels for the company expose him to new ways of looking at himself. He is, as the title suggests, a man growing up, finding various roads and wrong people until he finds Susan and a "right" road-for which there is always a series of prices. An incident involving a rare book, which Paul finds in a thrift shop, takes on meaning for him because he is undecided as to whether to return it to its rightful owner-The British Museum. There are accounts about bookselling and the remainder business, but the novel is essentially a modern love story.
