![]() ![]() Army, and his wife, Wanda Lindsey (nee Castle). ![]() Her parents were Edwin Dennis Howard, a soldier in the U.S. Lindsey was born Johanna Helen Howard on March 10, 1952, in Frankfurt, Germany. Still, to this day, I re-read her books and enjoy them as much as I did the first time around. Now I like my heroines a bit more nuanced. When I was a teen, I found their spunky, proud attitudes endearing and inspiring. Imagine a boy pulling a girl’s pigtails in an inkwell because he has a crush on her but can’t find a way to express it properly! It works so well for a love story. Even as he’s pursuing her, the hero can’t even admit his true feelings to himself. Why were her books so popular? For me, it’s the way her heroes could be so standoffish or even cruel when they were obviously crazy about the heroine. Her works were translated into at least a dozen other languages. Lindsey sold over 60 million copies of her approximately 56 published books. ![]() It’s no wonder that publishers labeled her with the motto “Everyone Loves a Lindsey.” She reached the #1 position on the New York Times Best Seller list with Defy Not the Heart, Angel , and others. ![]() ![]() ![]() Quinn's prequel lacks the darkness of her debut, but not the intensity. ![]() All four women must make major sacrifices and risk losing everything-including their lives.

Did he really see the Father and the Son in a pillar of light? Has he truly been visited by angelic messengers? What is all this talk about gold plates and new scripture? In short, is he a prophet and seer or a monumental fraud? The answers each one gives to these questions - intensely personal, potentially divisive - will dramatically affect the lives of the Steeds forever after.Īuthor Gerald N. ![]() ![]() There they meet a young man named Joseph Smith and are thrown into the maelstrom of conflict and controversy that swirls around him.

And so, finally, with a wonder of his own, he said, "Yes, Joseph, I believe you." He knew without the least shadow of doubt that everything Joseph was telling him was true. There was still the incredulousness, still the sense of hearing something that couldn't possibly be true.

Praise for The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate: “The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate” is the most delightful historical novel for tweens in many, many years. ![]() ![]() Carver's stories were brilliant in their detachment and use of the oblique, ambiguous gesture, yet there were signs of a different sort of sensibility at work. Suggestive rather than explicit, and seeming all the more powerful for what is left unsaid, Carver's stories were held up as exemplars of a new school in American fiction known as minimalism or "dirty realism," a movement whose wide influence continues to this day. ![]() ![]() Beneath his pared-down surfaces run disturbing, violent undercurrents. In collections such as Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? and What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, Carver wrote with unflinching exactness about men and women enduring lives on the knife-edge of poverty and other deprivations. ![]() Raymond Carver's spare dramas of loneliness, despair, and troubled relationships breathed new life into the American short story of the 1970s and '80s. ![]() ![]() ![]() The city’s denizens have become accustomed to a roughshod new way of living, however, the city is starting to fray along the edges-crime and corruption have set in, the contradictions of incredible wealth alongside direst poverty are spawning unrest, and a new disease called “the breaks” is ravaging the population.
