Paperback. Zustand: Good. From the winner of the 2016 Flannery O?Connor Award for Short Fiction comes a ?heartwarming and sharp-witted debut? (Publishers Weekly, starred review) set over one emotionally charged weekend at an animal sanctuary in western Kansas, where maternal, romantic, and community bonds are tested in the wake of an estranged daughter?s homecoming.The Bright Side Sanctuary for Animals is in trouble. It?s late 2016 when Ariel discovers that her mother Mona?s animal sanctuary in Western Kansas has not only been the target of anti-Semitic hate crimes?but that it?s also for sale, due to hidden financial ruin. Ariel, living a new life in progressive Lawrence, and estranged from her mother for six long years, knows she has to return to her childhood home?especially since her own past may have played a role in the attack on the sanctuary. Ariel expects tension, maybe even fury, but she doesn?t anticipate that her first love, a ranch hand named Gideon, will still be working at Bright Side. Back in Lawrence, Ariel?s charming but hapless fiancé, Dex, grows paranoid about her sudden departure. After uncovering Mona?s address, he sets out to confront Ariel, but instead finds her grappling with the life she?s abandoned. Amid the reparations with her mother, it?s clear that Ariel is questioning the meaning of her life in Lawrence, and whether she belongs with Dex or someone else, somewhere else. Acclaimed writer Pam Houston says that ?Mandelbaum is wise beyond her years and twice as talented,? and The Bright Side Sanctuary for Animals poignantly explores the unique love and tension between mothers and daughters, and humans and animals alike. ?A story of reconciliation and forgiveness (and so many animals)? (Steven Rowley, bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus), Mandelbaum?s debut offers a panoramic view of the meaning of home and reminds us that love provides refuge, and underscores our similarities as human beings, no matter how alone or far apart we may feel.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Most kid write stories. A few of them grow up to be successful authors. Before Stephen King created Carrie, he created Jhonathan, at age nine. And before there was Rabbit Angstrom, there was Manuel Citarro, detective in John Updike's hard-boiled mystery, written at fourteen. Before Jurassic Park, there was young Michael Crichton's story about the mysteriously wounded man lying unattended in the street.Editor Paul Mandelbaum persuaded our most popular American authors to share their childhood writings and their treasured photographs. What he's gathered is a fascinating, delightful collection of writing and early snapshots that reveal young minds at work, wrestling with early versions of ideas that were to take hold of their writings in later years. Of course, the young Madeline L'Engle would wonder about space and the meaning of eternity. Of course, Margaret Atwood would question conventional female behavior, arguing for the right to smoke cigars.First Words is an inspiration to budding writers and enthusiastic teachers, and a revelation for readers everywhere.This revised and condensed edition includes the following writers:Margaret AtwoodRoy Blount, Jr.Paul BowlesPat ConroyMichael CrichtonRita DoveClyde EdgertonGail GodwinAllan GurganusCharles JohnsonStephen KingMaxine Hong KingstonUrsula LeGuinMadeleine L'EngleJill McCorkleNorman MailerJoyce Carol OatesWilliam StyronAmy TanJohn UpdikeGore VidalTobias Wolff.…
