  Home or Away (eBook, ePUB)

  Two friends, one Olympic dream, and the choice that stood in the way. Once Leigh and Susy were close friends and teammates bound for Olympic hockey gold, but when Leigh's sure-fire plan to make the final roster backfired, she left everything behind to start over, including the one person who knew her secret. Two decades later, Leigh's a successful investment banker, happily married, and the mom of a hockey prodigy, so when a career opportunity lands the family back in Minnesota, Leigh takes the shot for her kid. Back in the ultra-competitive world she left behind, the move puts her in Susy's orbit, a daily reminder of how Leigh watched from the sidelines as her former teammate went on to Olympic glory. Despite the coldness between them, Susy can't help but hope that Leigh might lace up her skates and join her in the coaches' box-after all Leigh knows better than anyone how hard it is to be a woman in this world. Susy's coaching decisions are undermined by the all-male board and she knows soon her daughter, Georgie, will be seen as a "girl athlete," relegated to the B team, with less support and opportunity to advance. But Leigh's sure keeping Susy at arms' length is the only way to hide her history with her coach Jeff Carlson. When he hints of new favors in exchange for her son's ice time and allegations arise over his conduct, Leigh is caught in the ultimate bind: come clean about what happened when she was an Olympic hopeful and risk her marriage or play Jeff's game. In a moment of desperation, Leigh turns to Susy and realizes the one person she thought was her biggest competitor might turn out to be her biggest ally. Told with Kathleen West's trademark wit and compassion, Home or Away is a story about overcoming our pasts, confronting our futures, and the sustaining bonds of female friendship.

  The Promise , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 491min

  How far would you go to keep a promise?  Reed Bradford never should have made that promise.  He’d barely survived the first time around, but now she was back, his best friend’s little sister, his one-time neighbor, and the woman that he never should have promised to protect. He never should have done a lot of things, like cross that line, but once he did.... There was no turning back.  Joey Lawson always had a plan, but unfortunately, mostly for her, sometimes those plans backfired. On her. This time would be no different. After the unfortunate incident that she felt was better not to think about, she found herself doing the one thing that she’d never survive.  Falling in love with a Bradford.   Excerpt from The Promise:  “Reed?” she said, licking her lips nervously as the man that was making it difficult to think glared at her.  “Do you know what I did for the past twelve years, Joey?” he asked, which she normally would have taken as a good sign, but since he’d asked that question through clenched teeth and followed that up by placing his hands on the counter on either side of her hips so that he could lean down until they were eye-to-eye and she was left regretting so many things.  She opened her mouth to venture a guess only to quickly rethink that decision and settle for a simple shake of her head, which seemed to appease the large angry man. Nodding in approval, he reached up and gently pushed a strand of her hair back as he leaned in closer so that his mouth was next to her ear.  “For the past twelve years, Joey, I haven’t thought about you,” he whispered seductively, making her swallow nervously. “I haven’t wondered about you, asked about you, or thought about you, and do you know why?” he asked as she felt his hand close over her hip.  She shook her head only to close her eyes on a shaky breath when she felt his lips brush against her ear. “Bec ungekürzt.

  We Are the Economic Stimulus

  The Maunder Minimum is the name used for the period roughly spanning 1645 to 1715 when sunspots became exceedingly rare during the coldest part of the Little Ice Age, causing extraordinarily harsh winters in Europe and North America. The Maunder Minimum is also a four-piece psychedelic rock band from just outside of Detroit, inspired by an America in which corporate-run capitalism and military imperialism have backfired and left itself in a post-industrial failing economy. Songs' recurring themes include lost love, living in the ruins of the former capital of the Golden Age, prescription drugs vs. Freedom of the mind, and science (or the lack thereof).
