Book excerpt: This New York Times Notable memoir of a middle-class, middle-America family is a “beautiful bouquet of a book” (Entertainment Weekly). They say “a daughter is a daughter all her life,” and no statement could be truer for Patricia Hampl. Born to a Czech father—an artistic florist—and a wary Irish mother, Hampl experienced a childhood in St. Paul, Minnesota, that couldn’t have been more normal, the perfect example of a twentieth century middle-class, middle-American upbringing. But as she faces the death of her mother, Hampl reflects on the struggles her parents went through to provide that normal, boring existence, and her own struggles with fulfilling the role of dutiful daughter as she grew through the postwar years to the turbulent sixties and couldn’t help wanting to rebel against the notion of a “relentlessly modest life.” Named a Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year, The Florist’s Daughter is Hampl’s most extraordinary work to date—a “quietly stunning” reminiscence of a Midwestern girlhood, and a reflection on what it means to be a daughter (People).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becky shook out her dark hair. So many things puzzled her, but she flashed a smile at Kyle. She has grown to know him through their adventures these past few years. They are now mentally and physically aware of each other and realize that they have a shared destiny. Their story is played out against a background, which takes us from the high Californian mountains to the White House, USA. The two teenagers progress through separate high schools, but it is not until graduation that they start to make sense of some of the questions which have baffled them ever since the nearly fatal avalanche. They embark upon a special mission given to them by the Circles, who are mysterious but benign extraterrestrial beings intent upon helping the earth on its journey through space and time. The road that Becky and Kyle begin to follow is a long one. It is full of surprises, odd characters, like Dillon and Smally, and personal discoveries. They learn a great deal about each other and start to experience the extraordinary life in store for them. Travel the road with them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When ‘bride to be’ and single parent, Charlotte, discovers that her 61-year-old widowed mother is in a new relationship, she struggles to come to terms with it. “Why do you need to have a man, at your age?” Charlotte asks, “Can’t you just be a grandma?” The growing tension between mother and daughter combined with preparations for the wedding impact on both family and friends. In this compelling and unashamedly romantic tale of finding love in later life, the experience of a young care-leaver who is tasked with making the wedding bouquet, is skilfully intertwined with the family’s – sometimes turbulent– preparations for a modern wedding.
