楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Knight wanted. Must have shiny armor and own horse, preferably white.</p> <p>When it comes to romance, are magic, fireworks, and a dashing knight in shining Armani really too much to ask? Apparently so, since Kate Hetherington has yet to find an appropriate mate in all of London. Her lifelong friends (and confirmed pragmatists) Sally and Tom tease her endlessly about her hopeless romanticism. But Kate knows that she’s right to want her own fairy tale.</p> <p>After stumbling upon an old tome titled The Hopeless Romantic’s Handbook, Kate decides to give its advice a whirl. Incredibly, the book lives up to its money-back guarantee, because before Kate can say “Cinderella” she meets Joe Rogers, a drop-dead-gorgeous American actor. Frankly, he’s perfect?and Kate thinks she might have finally found The One. He certainly has the muscles required to sweep her off her feet. But Sal and Tom are less thrilled with Kate’s dreamboat. Are they just jealous, or do they know something about love that isn’t in Kate’s handbook? Kate’s pretty sure that finding true love isn’t supposed to alienate you from your friends, but what she doesn’t know is that her real knight is still waiting for her?and he’s closer than she ever imagined.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,221円

Ripples in the River【電子書籍】[ Soorya Townley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A mother's love knows no bounds. Even beyond death.</strong></p> <p><em>As seen on Dateline, 48 Hours, The Discovery Channel, and Dick Wolf's Blood and Money (The Business of Divorce).</em></p> <p>Soorya Townley was at the top of her game-one of Los Angeles' most sought-after massage therapists, trusted by Hollywood's elite, including Sting, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin. But her world shattered the day her daughter, Charla, was murdered.</p> <p>The killer? Charla's own husband, Darren Mack, a successful businessman who harbored a terrifying darkness. On June 12th-the same date his idol, O.J. Simpson, murdered his wife-Mack brutally stabbed Charla in their garage while their young daughter was just feet away inside the home. He wasn't finished. Hours later, he aimed a high-powered rifle at a courthouse window and shot the family court judge overseeing their divorce.</p> <p>With Charla gone, Soorya left everything behind-her thriving career, her home, her life in L.A.-to fight for the one thing that mattered: her granddaughter. But stepping into Reno's courtroom, she found herself up against a well-connected, powerful family determined to keep her out. With no wealth, no local allies, and no experience in legal warfare, Soorya had to become something she never expected-a warrior.</p> <p>This gripping memoir is more than a true-crime story. It's a modern-day David and Goliath battle, a mother's journey through unthinkable grief, and a spiritual testament to the power of love. Soorya, a mystic, shares the extraordinary ways Charla continued to guide her from beyond, offering hope in the face of despair.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 911円

Defiant The POWs Who Endured Vietnam's Most Infamous Prison, The Women Who Fought for Them, and The One Who Never Returned【電子書籍】[ Alvin Townley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>"A vivid testimony to what the human spirit can overcome . . . For those interested in Vietnam's Band of Brothers, it is a must read." ーJay Winik, #1 <em>New York Times</em>?bestselling author of <em>April 1865</em></strong><br /> During the Vietnam War, hundreds of American prisoners-of-war faced years of brutal conditions and horrific torture at the hands of North Vietnamese guards and interrogators who ruthlessly plied them for military intelligence and propaganda. Determined to maintain their Code of Conduct, the POWs developed a powerful underground resistance. To quash it, their captors singled out its eleven leaders, Vietnam's own "dirty dozen," and banished them to an isolated jail that would become known as Alcatraz. None would leave its solitary cells and interrogation rooms unscathed; one would never return.<br /> As these men suffered in Hanoi, their wives at home launched an extraordinary campaign that would ultimately spark the nationwide POW/MIA movement. The members of these military families banded together and showed the courage not only to endure years of doubt about the fate of their husbands and fathers, but to bravely fight for their safe return. When the survivors of Alcatraz finally came home in 1973, one veteran would go on to receive the Medal of Honor, another would become a US Senator, and a third served in the US Congress. <em>Defiant</em> is powerful account of survival and triumph, and how eleven men held on to their courage and faith in the darkest of situations.<br /> "A page-turner." ー <em>Marine Corps Times</em><br /> "A gripping account . . . Townley's telling of these important stories is fresh and vivid, thanks to his interviews with surviving prisoners and their family members . . . [He] also adds an important, and often overlooked, dimension to the prisoners' storiesーthat of their wives' campaign at home to thrust the plight of the POWs into the national spotlight." ー <em>The New York Times Book Review</em><br /> "A riveting tribute to true American heroes." ーSenator John McCain, POW (1967-73)<br /> <em>Includes photographs</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,760円
