B. Fairchild was requested, no. She was told to fly to the ranch and talk to the author. Barbara had read the book. Liked it. And yes, the author had requested her and only her to handle it. Why? She had no clue. But here she was, in the company jet flying over nothing. Serious here. There was nothing outside the window as the jet was landing. Landing on a strip of pavement in the middle of nowhere. She looked out the window and saw dirt. Getting off the jet, feeling the heat Barbara thought that she knew what Hell felt like. Noticing that no one greeted her she walked to the small building with 'Office' written on the door. There Barbara found out that the man she was to meet had passed away, but she was to continue on to the ranch. Going to the ranch took the fun out of everything. Dirt, heat and 2 1/2 hrs. made her feel like a wilted flower. First impressions? Don't make me laugh. But she wiped the dirt off her face and got out of the van. Turned and stopped in her tracks as she looked up at the cowboy coming down the steps. Did her heart quit? Shaking hands she felt the electricity. Did he feel it too? Together, Brett and Barbara handled the issues. Faxed the information to the studio and looked at each other. Lust or love? Barbara had no idea. But at her age, she was ready. Ready for 'the one'. The one that would make her a woman. Brett was handsome, but was he willing? The filming progressed, then 'things' happened that were not normal. Someone was doing their best to stop the movie. When Barbara's trailer on the set burnt, Brett stepped up security. Getting Barbara back to his ranch he felt he could protect her better. But not everything goes as planned.....

From teenage love to World War II to the White House--a love affair for the ages rooted in family and service. "The First Couple of the Greatest Generation, the Bushes were bright and funny, strong and devoted, loving and enduring. Here is their story, wonderfully told by a granddaughter raised in the warm ethos of a fabled American family.” —Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer. “To begin with I was in love and I am in love so that’s not hard,” Barbara Bush told her granddaughter Ellie LeBlond Sosa on her porch in Kennebunkport, Maine. Sosa had asked for the secret to her and President George H.W. Bush's 77-year love affair that withstood World War II separation, a leap of faith into the oil fields of West Texas, the painful loss of a child, a political climb to the highest office, and after the White House, the transition back to a “normal” life. Through a lifetime’s worth of letters, photographs, and stories, Sosa and coauthor Kelly Anne Chase paint the portrait of the enduring relationship of George and Barbara Bush. Sharing intimate interviews with the Bushes and family friends, this is a never-before-seen look into the private life of a very public couple.

Major Barbara is a three-act English play by George Bernard Shaw, written and premiered in 1905 and first published in 1907. The story concerns an idealistic young woman, Barbara Undershaft, who is engaged in helping the poor as a Major in the Salvation Army in London. For many years, Barbara and her siblings have been estranged from their father, Andrew Undershaft, who now reappears as a rich and successful munitions maker. Undershaft, the father, gives money to the Salvation Army, offending Major Barbara, who does not want to be connected to his "tainted" wealth. However, the father argues that poverty is a worse problem than munitions, and claims that he is doing more to help society by giving his workers jobs and a steady income than Major Barbara is doing to help them by giving them bread and soup.The play script reprises several typical "Shavian" moves in lacking apostrophes on contractions and other punctuation, by having a didactic introductory essay explaining the play's themes, and by bending some rules of play scripting for literary purposes; for example, two characters are listed as "The Woman" and "The Man" before Shaw gives them names, for dramatic effect. As well, lines in dialect English are written phonetically (Bill Walker jeers, "Wot prawce selvytion nah?", "What price salvation now?"). (wikipedia.org)

sidottu
The most up-to-date and unified study of critically acclaimed and best-selling author Barbara KingsolverIn Understanding Barbara Kingsolver, Ian Tan situates Kingsolver's oeuvre in an ecocritical and ecofeminist context and argues that her work puts forward an ethics of difference that informs a more egalitarian vision of the world. Following a brief biography, Tan explores ecocriticism as a literary strategy and analyzes Kingsolver's early nonfiction book, Holding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983, as an entry point to her thematic interests. Subsequent chapters attend to Kingsolver's nine novels, including her breakout The Poisonwood Bible and the Pulitzer Prize–winning Demon Copperhead, and the ways they engage with some of the most important issues of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including postcolonialism and climate change. This book shows how Kingsolver gives her readers the aesthetic tools to begin to see the familiar and the ordinary in a different light, allowing idealism to enrich our everyday lives.
