| finger waves with gel: The Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove Joann H. Jeffries, Roger D. Jeffries, 2011-07 Lineville, Iowa, is your typical small town: box-lunch auctions, doors left unlocked, and plenty of gossip. So the last thing Lineville's inhabitants expect the summer of 1920 is murder. When snooty Sophia Vander Veen, part owner of the Mineral Springs Resort, is found murdered after the disastrous Fourth of July ball, not many people are upset. But Maude Lovett, a self-styled detective who prides herself in her shrewd observation abilities, vows to get to the bottom of the murder and the malicious pranks that led up to Sophia's death. Maude makes it her duty to determine if the pranks—a snake in Sophia's closet, a headless statue in her bed, and noxious gas in her suite of rooms—and the murder were committed by the same person. With suspects from bootleggers to close acquaintances to waiters at the Mineral Springs Resort, Maude has her work cut out for her and must quickly eliminate suspects in order to squelch rising fear. With help from her niece, Lilly, and her friends; her sister, Nell; and everyone in between, Maude labors to bring justice to her once-safe town. Upon questioning her final batch of suspects, Maude learns the killer's identity and then uses herself as bait in a dangerous trap to snare the murderous perpetrator. Surprising twists, a bit of romance, and humor laced throughout are sure to keep you turning the pages until you too discover the target of Maude's iron-willed persistence. |

It's 1924 and there have been many changes at Downton Abbey since the family and their servants first welcomed us there twelve years ago. A generation of men has been tragically lost at the front; children are once again breathing new life into the great house; a chauffeur now sits at the Grantham dinner table; and skirt hems continue to rise. Still, in the midst of all this upheaval, many things at Downton remain largely unchanged. Nanny still holds sway in the nursery, and there are still summer fetes to be organized, menus to be planned, and farms to be run. This gorgeous book explores the seasonal events and celebrations of the great estate—including house parties, debutantes, the London Season, yearly trips to Scotland, the sporting season, and, of course, the cherished rituals of Christmas. Jessica Fellowes and the creative team behind Downton Abbey invite us to peer through the prism of the house as we learn more about the lives of our favorite characters, the actors who play them, and those who bring this exquisite world to real life. A Year in the Life of Downton Abbey is packed full of exclusive new photographs, with a delicious array of traditional British recipes adapted for modern kitchens: kedgeree, orange marmalade, asparagus tarts, cream of watercress soup, Irish stew, lemon barley water, meringues with red berries, parmesan straws, Christmas pudding with brandy butter and more. From the moment when the servants light the fires against the chill of January, through the last family game of charades and the servants' Christmas ball, this magnificent book invites us to take part in twelve months in the life of Downton Abbey. |

| finger waves with gel: Childhood on Fire Talisha Hunter, 2020-08-06 Childhood on Fire: My Journey from the Hell of Baltimore to High Water, is a true story based on events that happened in Talisha's life. It is a gritty, harrowing tale of how she endured and prevailed over heinous acts and unspeakable atrocities, challenging Talisha to change her life in ways she never thought would otherwise be possible. This is a remarkable story of tragic loss and incredible redemption, one in which Talisha conquered her past, and now lives in a way where she is far more at the cause of her experience rather than at its mercy. Talisha believes that hardships for most people are part of life, but for some, these tests can seem monumental and insurmountable when viewed through the narrow and unenlightened lens of childhood. Talisha was separated from her mother while still only in grade school, abandoned by her birth family, placed in foster care, and ultimately raised in a brutally unsympathetic environment far from the home she once knew. Throughout her early years, Talisha dealt with separation anxiety, codependence, dissociative identity disorder, and a string of bad relationships, all arising from the severe, repetitive, and soul-numbing effects of living with damaged, dysfunctional people and succumbing to the trials and tribulations that most others have been fortunate to avoid. Wrenching disillusionment and overt abuse were Talisha's constant companions, and it would not be until her early thirties that she realized her world was ablaze. Talisha had suffocated in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual anguish, and was near physical death on the night that she contemplated suicide. Like all of us, though, this brave girl had a choice: choose life or end life, and Talisha chose to not only keep going, but to embrace the pain with open arms and acknowledge the harm it had done. Talisha stared unflinchingly at the full-length film of her years of suffering and decided that very day that it all stopped here and now. She went through a remarkable transformation, a rebirthing experience that healed that little girl trapped inside her, and when she did, Talisha resurfaced as a refined, sharp, and powerful woman. Enjoy this book, but more importantly, take its lessons and become the best version of yourself, starting today. |
| finger waves with gel: Leaving Breezy Street Brenda Myers-Powell, April Reynolds, 2021-06-29 Told in an inimitable voice, Leaving Breezy Street is the stunning account of Brenda Myers-Powell’s brutal and beautiful life. “Careful—don’t think prostitution is just about money. It’s never just the money. It’s about slipping in at all the wrong places. Getting into dangerous situations and getting out of them. That’s exciting. That’s what you want. But you want something else, too.” What did Brenda Myers-Powell want? When she turned to prostitution at the age of fifteen, she wanted to support her two baby daughters and have a little money for herself. She was pretty and funny as hell, and although she called herself “Breezy,” she was also tough—a survivor in every sense of the word. Over the next twenty-five years, she would move across the country, finding new pimps, parties, drugs, and endless, profound heartache. And she would begin to want something else, something huge: a life of dignity, self-acceptance, and love. Astonishingly, she managed to find the strength to break from an unsparing world and save not only herself but also future Breezys. We have no say into which worlds we are born. But sometimes we can find a way out. |

With a hundred-year-old hotel to rehabilitate, a staff of lovable eccentrics to marshal, and guests to keep happy, she has no one to blame but herself for daydreaming through the past few years--or her uncle's threat to take over the hotel. And Rhys Spencer isn't helping. When the sexy British chef checked in, Olivia's common sense checked out. She doesn't have time to let him distract her, even if he is feeding her hottest fantasies. But the heat they create together is too much to resist, and when they spend a luscious night in his bed, Olivia truly wakes up for the first time--only to realize just what a mess her beloved hotel is. Throw in a pair of bumbling saboteurs, a cranky ex-ballerina, a gorilla costume, a lovesick writer, and tofurkey for fifty, and Olivia has her work cut out for her. All of which might be easier than convincing a certain brash Brit that he needs to wake up, too--and realize that he's hungry for her love. . .

| finger waves with gel: The Rich People Have Gone Away Regina Porter, 2025-06-10 AN AUDACIOUS BOOK CLUB PICK • A diverse group of New Yorkers are brought together by the search for a missing woman—in this electric novel of secrets, connection, and community. “Cinematic, preternaturally humane, and absolutely unputdownable—I just loved it.”—Claire Lombardo, People “What Your Favorite Authors are Reading This Summer” “Riveting.”—Charmaine Wilkerson, New York Times bestselling author of Black Cake A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, The Washington Post, Time, Kirkus Reviews Brooklyn, 2020. Theo Harper and his pregnant wife, Darla, head upstate to their summer cottage to wait out the lockdown. Not everyone in their upscale Park Slope building has this privilege: not Xavier, the teenager in the Cardi B T-shirt, nor Darla’s best friend, Ruby, and her partner, Katsumi, who stay behind to save their Michelin-starred restaurant. During an upstate hike on the aptly named Devil’s Path, Theo divulges a long-held secret—and when Darla disappears after the ensuing argument, he finds himself the prime suspect. As Darla’s and Theo’s families and friends come together to search for her, with Ruby and Katsumi stepping in to broker peace, past and present collide with startling consequences. Set against the pulse of an ever-changing city, The Rich People Have Gone Away connects the lives of ordinary New Yorkers to tell a powerful story of hope, love, and inequity in our times—while reminding us that no one leaves the past behind completely. |
| finger waves with gel: A Moon for the Misbegotten on the American Stage Laura Shea, 2015-04-22 A Moon for the Misbegotten is one of Eugene O'Neill's most frequently revived works, and major American revivals of the play have been instrumental in securing its esteemed position in theater history. While the play's landmark production in 1973 is largely regarded as the moment when it finally achieved greatness, its 60-year production history also includes several regional productions and Broadway revivals. This work provides a production history of A Moon for the Misbegotten in the United States, from the play's original Theatre Guild production in 1947 to its Broadway revival in 2007. Throughout the study, the author provides the inside story on the play's often rocky transition from the page to the stage, including detailed looks at initial casting difficulties and several controversies over censorship. |
