More Than Allies

Resumen del Libro

Libro More Than Allies

Maggie came to scenic little Lupine, Oregon, to live as a foster child in the Jarrett home. Thirteen years later, she’s a legitimate member of the family, living in the back yard cottage with two children. Her husband, Mo, has moved on to Texas in search of opportunity. He wants Maggie and their children to follow, but she is mired in indecision. Her baby’s a handful and her 9-year-old son, Jay-Jay, is in such trouble at school they want to put him in the “anger group.” She seeks comfort and advice from her friends, but her problems and theirs don’t seem to be occurring in the same universe. Even Polly, then foster-mother, now mother-in-law, seems to be slipping away. She’s talking about taking in an infant with special needs. Where does that leave Maggie and her kids? Nearby, Dulce Quirarte lives a separate life, the last person with whom Maggie would think she has anything in common. Dulce cleans houses, makes beds in a motel, and dreams. Cut off in all ways from her family and her culture, she gives in to the magic of Spanish only in her sleep. Her real life is a matter of survival. Her son Gus—a classmate of Jay’s—is fast becoming a complicated person all his own. He wants to know why he’s a Mexican who doesn’t speak Spanish and never sees any family but his mother. Besides, his father Gustavo has been paroled to his parents’ dairy farm in Texas, and he wants a family, or at least his son. Querida, he writes: I ask you with humility and love, be open. Doesn’t he know how closed she’s had to be to live an independent life? But then, isn’t her most vivid dream of him? As spring unfolds into summer, marriage, motherhood, and friendship are all reconsidered. Below the surface of a quaint, hip town, real lives are led, and two women transcend the boundaries of class and culture to forge an alliance that will enrich both their lives.

Something way more than just trying to keep Morgan...

Esposa en público

Libro Esposa en público

El multimillonario Jordan Powell solía aparecer en la prensa del corazón de Sidney y, en esa ocasión, lo hizo con una mujer nueva del brazo. Acostumbrado a que todas se rindieran a sus pies, seducir a Ivy Thornton, más acostumbrada a ir en vaqueros que a vestir ropa de diseño, fue todo un reto. El premio: el placer de la carne. Pero Ivy no estaba dispuesta a ser una más de su lista.

Libro Obras escogidas Quevedo

Quevedo introduce las obras de Tomás Moro en nuestra lengua; él da lecciones de moral altísimas en sus comentarios a la vida de Marco Bruto. Pero, a pesar de tantas cosas que podrían invitarle a las plácidas sonrisas renacentistas, Quevedo hace el antihumanista, y avanza con su ejército de inventivas y sarcasmos, con su tropa de hambreados, brujas, teólogos, inquisidores y rufianes, en una formidable fantasmagoría.
