The story begins as we are introduced to a husband and wife team who document their adventures, and once they learn of the discovery of Noah’s Ark atop mount Ararat, they quickly start racing to be the first ones there. While of course these claims were regarded with about as much interest and skepticism as all the ones that came before it, it was enough to fuel the imagination of Christopher Golden and have him write the gripping thriller that is Ararat. In 2010 explorers believed they had found the Ark, out of all places, on top of mount Ararat in Turkey. Noah’s Ark is without a doubt one of the most sought-after relics of ancient times, with researchers periodically finding it in the strangest places one can imagine. There is a great nebulous mystery surrounding events and people during biblical times, with most agreeing that while the stories themselves aren’t true, they are indeed based on realities that have been lost to us for far too long to make any sense of it. To the Top of the World with Christopher Golden Barbara is currently pursuing her master's degree at Harvard University. She is the co-author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Sisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life with her twin sister, and the picture book Sisters First is her debut work for children. Barbara Pierce Bush is the board chair and co-founder of Global Health Corps, an organization that has mobilized more than one thousand young leaders who take an innovative approach to solving some of the world's biggest global health challenges. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope, and she co-authored the #1 New York Times bestseller Sisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life with her twin sister, as well as the children's books Our Great Big Backyard and Read All About It! with her mother, former First Lady Laura Bush. Jenna Bush Hager is a host of NBC's Today Show and an editor-at-large for Southern Living magazine. He is everything, and everything is contained within him. Don’t even fight, he said, to protect your family or your home.įight for this alone: the man who stands at your shoulder. Dienekes instructed his comrades to fight not in the name of such lofty concepts as patriotism, honor, duty or glory. At Thermopylae on the final morning, when the last surviving Spartans knew they were all going to die, they turned to one of their leaders, the platoon commander Dienekes, and asked him what thoughts they should hold in their minds in this final hour to keep their courage strong. The greatest counterpoise to fear, the ancients believed, is love-the love of the individual warrior for his brothers in arms. The Opposite of Fear is Love is from Chapter 13 of Steven Pressfield’s The Warrior Ethos published by Black Irish Books. Lawrence was a famous painter, although over the years the popularity of his paintings diminished. In addition, Penelope and Antonia take Danus, the gardener whom Penelope hires after suffering her small heart attack.Ĭentral throughout the story are the paintings made by Penelope's father, Lawrence Stern. Cosmo has recently passed away and Penelope takes her into her home in Podmore Thatch as a welcome visitor and an easy way to silence her daughter Nancy's constant admonishings that she needs a full-time caretaker. In the end, she decides to take Antonia, the daughter of Cosmo, the love of Olivia's life. She asks each of her three children to come with her to make the trip, but all three decline, stating other obligations in their life. Penelope has just suffered a slight heart attack at the beginning of the novel and she is happy to return home (after voluntarily checking herself out of the hospital.) She then decides that it is time for her to return to Porthkerris, where she lived throughout World War II and met the love of her life, Richard. As the mother of three children named Nancy, Noel and Olivia, each of the children's lives in the present are explored briefly in order to better explain their relationship with Penelope. Although the story focuses on Penelope, there are various glimpses into other characters that are important to her. The Shell Seekers is a novel that revolves around the final months of the central character, Penelope Keeling. Sentenced to fifteen years in cryo-detainment, Jake is released after four years, three months, and twenty-seven days. Set in the year 2044, the series follows Jake Cardigan, a former police officer who lost his badge after being framed for dealing in tek (an illicit narcotic-like substance) and murdering his fellow officers on a bust. The series, which was a co-production between Atlantis Films and Universal Television premiered on Januand ended on February 9, 1996. The series was broadcast in Canada on CTV and in the United States on USA Network and the Sci Fi Channel. The series follows Jake Cardigan (played by Greg Evigan), a former police officer turned private investigator working for Cosmos, a private security firm owned and operated by Walter Bascom. TekWar is a television series, based on the TekWar novels ghost-written by Ron Goulart from outlines by William Shatner and developed for television by Stephen Roloff. I like that the book focused on a vision impaired child because you don't see that a lot in books anymore. I really could picture it all, which I hope comes across as a wonderful comment. Conklin did a wonderful job with her descriptions especially the sand castles and making the story believable. I'm sure it comes as no surprise what happens, but I did really like the interaction between Katy, Steve and Michael. I wanted to scream at her, seriously, but it all smoothed out (of course!) and through a course of events, she finds herself sharing her summer with Steve a boy at school that she has a crush on. In the beginning, Katy really irritated me with her obsession about being passed over for a summer job working with a vision impaired child named Michael. I devoured this series when I was a teenager and although I barely remembered this volume, I think I actually liked it better than when I read it the first time. I am so happy that I found this "Sweet Dreams" book on "Internet Archive". Along the way, she met women from all walks of life - who were all struggling through the same upside-down world of corrections. There, in the Twilight Zone of New York’s jails and prisons, Keri grappled with the wreckage of her missteps and mistakes as she sobered up and searched for a better path. Her arrest made the front page of the local news and landed her behind bars for nearly two years. Then, on a cold day during her senior year, the police caught her walking down the street with a Tupperware full of heroin. But when her skating career suddenly fell apart, that meant diving into self-destruction with the intensity she once saved for the ice.įor the next nine years, Keri ricocheted from one dark place to the next: living on the streets, selling drugs and sex, and shooting up between classes all while trying to hold herself together enough to finish her degree at Cornell. Growing up, that meant throwing herself into competitive figure skating with an all-consuming passion that led her to nationals. Keri Blakinger always lived life at full throttle.
