Not the best way to describe your country's highest-selling novelist.

My mother instilled within me the love of the south and the movie Gone with the Wind. Mary Dorothy Cecil Robertson, my mother, was born in Kentucky, before migrating to Michigan. I was born in Michigan but brought up with many of the southern values. She took me to Detroit, Michigan to a grand theater to see the re-release of the movie. The theater was so beautiful with magnificent drapes with gold fringe (much like the ones in which Scarlett made her glamorous dress). The theater had thick patterned carpet in deep reds with gold patterns running through it and a huge crystal chandelier in the lobby. I was so excited and that memory will be with me always. As for Gone with the Wind, I just adored it! Gone with the Wind, the Book As an adult, I read the book by Margaret Mitchell and visualized every page with the previously seen movie. However, like all novels there is some differences between the movie and the novel itself. You will have to read it to determine those differences! The story is set in Jonesboro and Atlanta, Georgia during the American Civil War and Reconstruction and follows the life of Scarlett O'Hara, the daughter of an Irish immigrant plantation owner. The novel won the 1937 Pulitzer Prize and was adapted into an Academy Award-winning 1939 film of the same name. It is the only novel by Mitchell published during her lifetime. It took her seven years to write the book and a further eight months to check the thousands of historical and social references. The novel is one of the most popular books of all time, selling more than 30 million copies. Over the years, the novel has also been analyzed for its symbolism and treatment of mythological archetypes. Margaret Mitchell, the Author Gone with the Wind, published on June 30, 1936, is a romantic novel and the only novel written by Margaret Mitchell. Margaret Munnerlyn Mitchell (November 8, 1900 – August 16, 1949) was an American author, who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937 for her novel Gone with the Wind. The novel is one of the most popular books of all time, selling more than 30 million copies (the highest selling book next to the Bible). An American film adaptation, released in 1939, became the highest-grossing film in the history of Hollywood, and received a record-breaking ten Academy Awards. Mitchell is reported to have begun writing Gone With the Wind while bedridden with a broken ankle. Her husband, John Marsh, brought home historical books from the public library to amuse her while she recuperated. After she supposedly read all the historical books in the library, he told her, "Peggy, if you want another book, why don't you write your own?" She drew upon her encyclopedic knowledge of the Civil War and dramatic moments from her own life, and typed her epic novel on an old Remington typewriter. She originally called the heroine "Pansy O'Hara", and Tara was "Fountenoy Hall". She also considered naming the novel Tote The Weary Load or Tomorrow Is Another Day. Finally she settled on a phrase from a favorite poem by Ernest Dowson: "I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind, / Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng." She wrote the last chapter first, and skipped around from chapter to chapter. Gone With the Wind was published on June 30, 1936. The book was dramatized by David O. Selznick, and released three years later. The premiere of the film was held in Atlanta on December 15, 1939. Sadly, there was no sequel written by Margaret Mitchell, as she was struck by a speeding automobile as she crossed Peachtree Street at 13th Street with her husband, John Marsh, on her way to see the British film A Canterbury Tale at The Peachtree Art Theatre in August 1949. She died at Grady Hospital five days later without regaining consciousness. She is buried in the Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia. The home of Margaret Mitchell, where she penned Gone with the Wind, is today a Museum for all to see....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Margaret_Mitchell_House (Source: wikipedia.com) Margaret Mitchell by vivien22 featuring Jessica Simpson shoes Scarlett, the sequel to Gone with the Wind,, was much of a disappointment to many readers, including me. Although, the quench for thirst of Gone with the Wind has not kept me from reading it, several times! Scarlett is a novel written in 1991 by Alexandra Ripley as a sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. It was adapted as a television mini-series of the same title in 1994 starring Timothy Dalton as Rhett Butler and Joanne Whalley-Kilmer as Scarlett O'Hara. The book picks up right where Gone with the Wind left off, with Scarlett attending the funeral of her former sister-in-law and rival for Ashley Wilkes' affection, Melanie Wilkes. Her adventures take her from Atlanta, to Savannah, to Ireland where she finally reconciles with Rhett in the end. Finally, authorized by Margaret Mitchell's estate, came the book, Rhett Butler's People, published in 2007, that parallels Gone with the Wind fro Rhett Butler's perspective. McCaig chooses to disregard the novel Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley. He does not acknowledge its existence in the canon of Gone with the Wind nor does his novel incorporate any of its characters, which was very good, as the characters matched that of the original. The book attempts to present a semi-journalistic view of the life and times of Rhett Butler, while remaining faithful to the original Mitchell work. The Rhett-Scarlett love-story is downplayed in the book and the story, in my opinion, spent too much time in Charleston and not enough time with Rhett and Scarlett. I found sections of it dull as I wanted just to read about Rhett and Scarlett. I have just received the latest sequel, which has been banned in the United States, because it was unauthorized by the Margaret Mitchell estate, called the Winds of Tara, by Katherine Pinotti. In reading the snippet view of the book, I was very entranced.Read for yourself (http://www.thewindsoftara.com/). Scarlett, headstrong and beautiful, tries to win back the love of her estranged husband, Rhett. The Saga Lives On! I am on chapter 7 and loving it thus far! I purchased this book from ebay at a small fortune! I have made several Polyvore pages dedicated to Gone with the Wind, but my favorites are made by one of my favorite Polyvore artists, Vivian22. I have posted these, as well as a few others, below for your enjoyment. Long live the South! David O. Selznick, born David Selznick (May 10, 1902–June 22, 1965), was one of the iconic Hollywood producers of the Golden Age. He is best known for producing the epic blockbuster Gone with the Wind (1939) which earned him an Oscar for Best Picture. Not only did Gone with the Wind gross the highest amount of money in the U.S. domestic box office of any film ever (adjusted for inflation), but it also won seven additional Oscars and two special awards. Selznick also won the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award that same year. He would make film history by winning the Best Picture Oscar a second year in a row for Rebecca (1940). David Selznick - Gone with the Wind by Carol's Historical Group on Polyvore.com Top left: Producer David Selznick, stars Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard, Olivia de Havilland and director George Cukor meet to sign contracts for Gone With the Wind. Top right: Selznick Studios, famous from the movie Gone with the Wind, was founded in 1935 by producer David O. Selznick and investor John Hay "Jock" Whitney after Selznick left Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and leased a section of the RKO Pictures lot in Culver City, California. The studio itself had been built for Pathé Pictures in 1919. Bottom photos from Time Magazine: Walking among the set of Atlanta for Gone with the Wind. Scarlett O'Hara (full name Katherine Scarlett O'Hara Hamilton Kennedy Butler) is the protagonist in Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel Gone with the Wind and in the later film of the same name. Ironically, during early drafts of the original novel, Mitchell referred to her heroine as "Pansy", and did not decide on the name "Scarlett" until just before the novel went to print. I am certainly happy on the name of Scarlett because I don't believe the name Pansy would have fit this heroine very well. Scarlett O'Hara is not beautiful in a conventional sense, as indicated by Margaret Mitchell's opening line, but a charming Southern belle who grows up on the Clayton County, Georgia, plantation Tara in the years before the American Civil War. Scarlett is described as being sixteen years old at the outbreak of the Civil War in April 1861, which would put her approximate birth date in early 1845/late 1844. She is the oldest of three daughters. Her two younger sisters are the lazy and whiny Susan Elinor ("Suellen") and the gentle and kind Caroline Irene ("Carreen"). Suellen O'Hara Suellen O'Hara by carol@themovies featuring Miss Selfridge shoes Carreen O'Hara Carreen O'Hara by carol@themovies on Polyvore.com Her mother also gave birth to three younger sons, who were all named Gerald Jr. and died as infants. Selfish, shrewd and vain, Scarlett inherits the strong will of her Irish father Gerald O'Hara, but also desires to please her well-bred, gentle French American mother Ellen Robillard, from a good and well respected Savannah, Georgia, family. The Perfect Scarlett O'Hara. While the studio and the public agreed that the part of Rhett Butler should go to Clark Gable (except for Clark Gable himself), casting for the role of Scarlett was a little harder. The search for an actress to play Scarlett in the film version of the novel famously drew the biggest names in the history of cinema, such as Bette Davis (whose casting as a Southern belle in Jezebel in 1938 took her out of contention), and Katharine Hepburn, who went so far as demanding an appointment with producer David O. Selznick and saying, "I am Scarlett O'Hara! The role is practically written for me." David replied rather bluntly, "I can't imagine Rhett Butler chasing you for ten years." Jean Arthur and Lucille Ball were also considered, as well as relatively unknown actress Doris Davenport. Susan Hayward was "discovered" when she tested for the part, and the career of Lana Turner developed quickly after her screen test. Tallulah Bankhead and Joan Bennett were widely considered to be the most likely choices until they were supplanted by Paulette Goddard. In fact, at total of 38 girls were considered or tested for the role (Source: wikipedia.com). Gone with the Wind Scarlett tests: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xmfLHXiAhA Viven22 for Polyvore, made a set dedicated to several choice actresses. the perfect Scarlett O'Hara is- Vivien Leigh!!! by vivien22 on Polyvore.com Vivien Leigh - The young English actress Vivien Leigh, virtually unknown in America, saw that several English actors, including Ronald Colman and Leslie Howard, were in consideration for the male leads in Gone with the Wind. Her agent happened to be the London representative of the Myron Selznick talent agency, headed by David Selznick's brother, Myron. Leigh asked Myron to put her name into consideration as Scarlett on the eve of the American release of her picture Fire Over England in February 1938. David Selznick watched both Fire Over England and her most recent picture, A Yank at Oxford, that month, and thought she was excellent but in no way a possible Scarlett, as she was "too British." But Myron Selznick arranged for David to first meet Leigh on the night in December 1938 when the burning of the Atlanta Depot was being filmed on the Forty Acres back lot that Selznick International and RKO shared. Leigh and Laurence Olivier were visiting as guests of Myron Selznick, who was also Olivier's agent, and Leigh was in Hollywood hoping for a part in Olivier's current movie, Wuthering Heights. In a letter to his wife two days later, David Selznick admitted that Leigh was "the Scarlett dark horse," and after a series of screen tests, her casting was announced on January 13, 1939. Just before the shooting of the film, Selznick informed Ed Sullivan: "Scarlett O'Hara's parents were French and Irish. Identically, Miss Leigh's parents are French and Irish." In any case, Leigh was cast—despite public protest that the role was too "American" for an English actress—and Leigh eventually won an Academy Award for her performance.(Source: Wikipedia.com) Vivien Leigh -signing a contract with Hollywood by vivien22 featuring BCBGMAXAZRIA shoes Vivien Leigh by vivien22 featuring Christian Louboutin shoes Clark Gable as Rhett Butler. Despite his reluctance to play the role, Gable is best known for his performance in Gone with the Wind (1939), which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Carole Lombard may have been the first to suggest that he play Rhett Butler (and she play Scarlett) when she bought him a copy of the bestseller, which he refused to read. Gable was an almost immediate favorite for the role of Rhett with both the public and producer David O. Selznick. But since Selznick had no male stars under long-term contracts, he needed to go through the process of negotiating to borrow an actor from another studio. Gary Cooper was Selznick's first choice. When Cooper turned down the role of Butler, he was quoted as saying, "Gone With the Wind is going to be the biggest flop in Hollywood history. I’m glad it’ll be Clark Gable who’s falling flat on his nose, not me." By then, Selznick had become determined to hire Gable, and set about finding a way to borrow him from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Gable was wary of potentially disappointing an audience that had decided that no one else could play the part. He later conceded, "I think I know now how a fly must react after being caught in a spider's web." Decades later, Gable said that whenever his career would start to fade, a re-release of Gone with the Wind would soon revive his popularity, and he continued as a top leading actor for the rest of his life. In addition, Gable was one of the few actors to play the lead in three films that won the Academy Award for Best Picture. However, he did not win his nomination for best actor to Gone with the Wind, losing out to Robert Donat, Goodbye Mr. Chips. (He was robbed!) Watch the video clip, Getting Clark Gable http://www.rottentomatoes.com/dor/objects/14231788/gone_with_the_wind/videos/gwtw_1_111609.html Below is a Polyvore set dedicated to Clark Gable, by non other than my favorite GWTW Polyvore creator, Vivien22. Clark Gable by vivien22 on Polyvore.com William Clark Gable (February 1, 1901 – November 16, 1960) was an American film actor, nicknamed "The King of Hollywood" in his heyday. In 1999, the American Film Institute named Gable seventh among the greatest male stars of all time. Gable's most famous role was Rhett Butler in the 1939 Civil War epic film Gone with the Wind, in which he starred with Vivien Leigh. His performance earned him his third nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor; he won for It Happened One Night (1934) and was also nominated for Mutiny on the Bounty (1935). Later performances were in Run Silent, Run Deep, a submarine war film, and his final film, The Misfits (1961), which paired Gable with Marilyn Monroe in her last screen appearance. In his long film career, Gable appeared opposite some of the most popular actresses of the time. Joan Crawford, who was his favorite actress to work with, was partnered with Gable in eight films, Myrna Loy was with him seven times, and he was paired with Jean Harlow in six productions. He also starred with Lana Turner in four features, and with Norma Shearer in three. Gable was often named the top male star in the mid-30s, and was second only to the top box-office draw of all, Shirley Temple. Gable was born in Cadiz, Ohio to William Henry "Bill" Gable, an oil-well driller, and Adeline (née Hershelman), who was of German and Irish descent. He was mistakenly listed as a female on his birth certificate. His original name was probably William Clark Gable, but birth registrations, school records and other documents contradict one another. "William" would have been in honor of his father. "Clark" was the maiden name of his maternal grandmother. In childhood he was almost always called "Clark"; some friends called him "Clarkie," "Billy," or "Gabe". At seventeen, Gable was inspired to be an actor after seeing the play The Bird of Paradise, but he was not able to make a real start until he turned 21 and inherited money. By then, his stepmother Jennie had died and his father moved to Tulsa to go back to the oil business. He toured in stock companies and worked the oil fields and as a horse manager. Gable found work with several second-class theater companies and worked his way across the Midwest to Portland, Oregon, where he found work as a necktie salesman in the Meier & Frank department store. While there, he met actress Laura Hope Crews, who encouraged him to go back to the stage and into another theater company. His acting coach was a theater manager in Portland, Oregon, Josephine Dillon (seventeen years his senior). Dillon paid to have his teeth repaired and his hair styled. She guided him in building up his chronically undernourished body, and taught him better body control and posture. She spent considerable time training his naturally high-pitched voice, which Gable slowly managed to lower, and he gained better resonance and tone. As his speech habits improved, Gable's facial expressions became more natural and convincing. After the long period of rigorous training, she eventually considered him ready to attempt a film career. Gone with the Wind ~ The Movie The film opens on a large cotton plantation called Tara in rural Georgia in 1861, on the eve of the American Civil War where Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) is flirting with the two Tarleton brothers Brent (Fred Crane) and Stuart (George Reeves). /a> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUzNiY0FgVE The brothers share a secret with Scarlett that one of her county beaux, whom she secretly loves, Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard) is to marry his cousin Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland) and the engagement is to be announced the next day at a barbecue at Ashley's home, the nearby plantation Twelve Oaks. Scarlett, so upset with the secret, runs away from the plantation and meets up with her father, Gerald O'Hara, Irish Imigrant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szfbQDG5Q_4 The following Polyvore pages are dedicated to this scene with Scarlett in her white dress.

Her contempt for motherhood is equaled only by her interminable impatience with the customary protocol for Southern women in mourning. The movie doesn't indicate her having any children, but the Margaret Mitchell novel does, as well as the sequel novels to follow. Her lamentations include the fact that she is forced to dress in all-black and she cannot go to any parties. Scarlett finds, to her disgust, that she is living quietly at home, with limited social interactions like an old widow. She is more distressed over her boredom and new motherhood than at Charles' death. Her mother, Ellen O'Hara, believing Scarlett to be pining away from a broken heart, sends her, little Wade, and Prissy (a young slave of the O'Hara's) on trips to visit family in an effort to revive her spirit. Mother by carol@themovies featuring All Saints shoes Scarlett has been receiving letters from Melanie and Charles' elderly Aunt Pittypat and Melanie who are living together in Atlanta. These letters beg Scarlett to come live with them as the two women are all alone and would love to see Charles’ only son, Wade. Scarlett takes immediately to the hustle and bustle of Atlanta and finds Aunt Pittypat to be an easy enough pushover. Even though she is contemptuous of Melanie, the lure of Atlanta proves a fair trade for Scarlett. (On a personal note, Aunt Pittypat's house was among my favorites, beautifully decorated. This house must not have been burned by the notorious General Sherman because it later became a home in the Andy Griffith Show. LOL! Another memory is that mother use to tell my sister, Donna, that she resembled Aunt Pittypat because Donna wore her hair with little curls coming down that looked much like Pittypat's.)

Book Synopsis From the author of One Part Woman and The Story of a Goat, both longlisted for the National Book Award for Translation, comes a poignant and startling novel about love, caste, and intolerance Profiled in both the New Yorker and the New York Times, Perumal Murugan is one of India's highest selling and most respected literary writers, and Pyre is perhaps his most beloved work. Saroja and Kumaresan are young and in love. After meeting in a small southern Indian town where Kumaresan works at a soda bottling shop, they quickly marry before returning to Kumaresan's family village, where they hope to build a happy life together. But they are harboring a terrible secret: Saroja is from a different caste than Kumaresan, and if the villagers find out, they will both be in grave danger. Faced with venom from her mother-in-law and questions from her new neighbors, Saroja tries to adjust to a new lonely and uncomfortable life, while Kumaresan struggles to scrape together enough money for them to start over somewhere new. Will their love keep them safe in a world filled with thorns? In evocative prose, Perumal Murugan masterfully conjures a moving tale of innocent young love pitted against chilling violence. Review Quotes Praise for Pyre: Longlisted for the International Booker Prize Longlisted for the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature "An intercaste couple elopes, setting in motion a story of terrifying foreboding. Perumal Murugan is a great anatomist of power and, in particular, of the deep, deforming rot of caste hatred and violence. With flashes of fable, his novel tells a story specific and universal: how flammable are fear and the distrust of others."--International Booker Prize Judges "Murugan's Pyre is haunted by its title--a word that appears nowhere in the novel, but contributes to the growing sense of dread and desperation that shadows it . . . [A] very readable English version by Vasudevan . . . In addition to drawing the reader into Murugan's Tamil-language environment, Vasudevan also signals the subtle differences in dialect, distinguishing Saroja's speech from Kumaresan's. The translation succeeds in reminding the reader of the work's non-Western, multilingual setting, without compromising the fluency of the narrative."--Carlos Rojas, New York Times Book Review "An acclaimed writer in his native India, Murugan skillfully contrasts the young couple's innocence with the increasingly caustic attacks on their marital union. His spare prose mesmerizes, and Vasudevan's translation of the original Tamil conveys both meaning and needed context for Western English readers . . . Murugan shows that intolerance, cruelty, and bigotry are universal traits of humankind, even while tailored to the peculiarity of each society. Universal too, are the love, kindness, and familial bonds that exist between individuals who have the sensitivity to look beyond societal custom and coercion. A haunting story of forbidden love set in Southern India that illustrates the cruel consequences of societal intolerance."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A powerful fable of star-crossed lovers and societal intolerance . . . Murugan describes rural life in piercing detail . . . The simple, elegant prose of Vasudevan's translation ranges from poetic to suspenseful . . . Murugan deserves worldwide recognition."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A Romeo & Juliet fable, centered not on family rivalry but on caste."--Arts Fuse "With exquisitely honed details, Murugan vividly exposes society's blind adherence to draconian traditions."--Booklist Praise for Perumal Murugan: Twice Longlisted for the National Book Award for Translated Literature "Murugan works his themes with a light hand; they always emanate from his characters, who are endowed with enough contradiction and mystery to keep from devolving into mouthpieces . . . It's not just the physical world Murugan describes so vividly--the way a cow clears its throat, for example--but the rural community, a village of 20 huts and a thousand ancient resentments, where there is no privacy and your neighbor's suffering can serve as your evening's entertainment . . . I'm hoping for a whole shelf of books from this writer." --Parul Sehgal, New York Times, on One Part Woman "The Story of a Goat, translated from Tamil by N. Kalyan Raman, jumps nimbly from fantasy to realism to parable . . . The effect is not so much escapist fantasy as existential reflection . . . The elegance of Murugan's simple tone will lull you deeper into his story . . . The early scenes of tiny Poonachi wandering in the field and cavorting with other goats are as soft as cashmere . . . Woven through this slim novel is an acidic satire." --Ron Charles, Washington Post "A major Indian writer . . . Dark currents run through One Part Woman . . . Kali and Ponna, a couple who are erotically wrapped up in each other, withstand waves of derision because they have not conceived a child after a decade of marriage . . . When describing the farming communities of South India, Mr. Murugan is neither sentimental nor harsh." --New York Times (profile) "Intimate and affecting . . . Throughout the novel, Murugan pits the individual against the group. How far you willing to go, he asks, in order to belong? . . . Murugan's descriptions of village life are evocative, but the true pleasure of this book lies in his adept explorations of male and female relationships, and in his unmistakable affection for people who find themselves pitted against the world." --Laila Lalami, New York Times Book Review, on One Part Woman "This fable of society, bureaucracy, and rural life centers on a Tamil farming couple in South India and the female goat they receive from a mysterious man. The boundaries between human and animal consciousness are blurred as the frail foundling matures under the couple's care, encountering maternal bliss and heartbreak. The small triumphs and tragedies of rural life, such as drought, material wealth, and run-ins with a comically inefficient provincial government, are relayed through the goat's trenchant observations, which poignantly expose how tightly the lives of caretakers and their livestock are bound." --New Yorker, on The Story of a Goat "The title character of Murugan's elegant new novel is indeed a joy . . . Murugan's marvelously observant narrative is equally interested in the visceral daily life of a farm creature . . . The greatest achievement of this remarkable novel is the empathy its adult readers will feel for a non-human creature; through Poonachi's tale we are reminded how much bonds us with the animal world." --USA Today, on The Story of a Goat "Subtly subversive . . . In simple yet lyrical prose, Murugan shows how their standing in the world depends on offspring . . . The novel considers the constraints of tradition and beautifully articulates the couple's intense connection, even without a child." --New Yorker, on One Part Woman "[A] parable about village life, written with breathtaking and deceptive simplicity . . . Murugan traces the entire life of his little goat--her despair, her small acts of heroism, her longing--with Chekhovian clarity. Each sentence in Raman's supple translation is modest, sculpted and clean, but behind each you sense a fund of deep wisdom about the vagaries of the rains, politics, behavior--human and animal." --Parul Sehgal, New York Times, on The Story of a Goat "A goat's life serves as an allegory for the human condition in this novel from an acclaimed Indian author . . . In anthropomorphizing Poonachi, Murugan finds a path to describe the essence of humans' struggle to survive while grasping for fleeting moments of joy and grace . . . In the tradition of George Orwell's Animal Farm . . . An affecting modern fable reflecting Murugan's enchanting capacity to make a simple story resonate on many levels." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review), on The Story of a Goat About the Author Aniruddhan Vasudevan writes and translates between Tamil and English. He is currently a Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellow in the Princeton Society of Fellows and Lecturer in Anthropology and the Humanities Council (2020-2023), Princeton University.

Internationally best selling author Dr. Wayne Dyer said, A Charmed Journey is a marvel of a book. Chock full of advice to live a spiritually aligned life. When the path appears grim and you feel overwhelmed with challenges, there is beauty in finding the strength to remain positive; there is a sort of grace or elegance when one chooses to surrender, while observing the synchronicity of events taking place that support your highest good. The lessons I have learned have been powerful and life-changing. I have seen Spirit work through me, my animals, my relationships and my clients in truly phenomenal ways . . . Miracles happen before our very eyes . . . If we remain focused and trust in the process, allowing the universe to work through us, we discover that our purpose is to be of service-as well as to live a glorious life. - Excerpts from A Charmed Journey In Angela Lenhardt's honest, insightful, often rollicking memoir, A Charmed Journey: An Inspired Guide to Personal Transformation, we're taken on an odyssey in search of what is universally sought after by all: one's truest sense of personal identity and happiness. Along the way, Angela leads us from a small farm in Montana to Chiang Mai, Thailand to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, all the while addressing what she considers to be the ABC's of personal growth: one's spiritual, emotional and physical interactions with the universe. In her candid, down-to-earth style, Angela conveys to the reader what she has discovered in her journey--those universal, oftentimes funny and occasionally painful lessons, all of which have had their influence in molding her into the person she is today. By accepting the invitation to walk with her on her self-reflective path, a doorway opens up for us into the world of an earnest, vulnerable, yet deeply insightful psychic, one who is committed to living in service to others and leading an extra-ordinary life. | Author: Angela Lenhardt | Publisher: Angela Lenhardt | Publication Date: Feb 19, 2014 | Number of Pages: 180 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 0615726054 | ISBN-13: 9780615726052

"I'm happy with my life of dive bars and whiskey in the big city. But these four smoking hot men have taken me captive in the sunshine, and they’re refusing to let me go!!" Devon’s father insists on a yearly vacation to make up for his terrible parenting, dangling a long overdue trust fund as bait. And this time he’s selected a tropical island. Devon’s fine with sticking to the hotel’s well-stocked bar and the odd surfing lesson–that is, until she’s kidnapped and handed over to four very attractive men (one who happens to be her surfing instructor).
