In this delightful Regency, a sensible marriage of convenience becomes quite complicated when the bride has the audacity to fall in love with the groom. Anthea Malcolm, author of An Improper Proposal, A Touch of Scandal, and The Widow's Gambit, is the pseudonym for a mother-daughter writing team.
How do you avoid an arranged marriage with a man you've never met? Why not become a person you've never met--the complete opposite of your normal, shy self? Abby knows her parents mean well but Edwin has shown he's just as reluctant to like and accept her. How can you fall in love with someone who expects you to be grateful for his attention? Just as Abby tried to prove she is not the perfect vicar's wife, Edwin challenges her idea of what a vicar is supposed to be too. Does God have a sense of humor to bring these two together to learn to love each other or do Abby and Edwin's matchmaking parents have it all wrong about this most "sensible match"?
A unique and inspirational Pride and Prejudice sequel that will resonate with all readers who can relate to Mary Bennet's determination to live according to God's wishes Written by a Franciscan nun, this is a sympathetic tale of the middle Bennet sister from Pride and Prejudice. Pious Mary Bennet tries to do her duty in the world as she thinks God envisions it. Initially believing (mistakenly) that her sister Elizabeth married well only in order to provide for her sisters, Mary is happy to be relieved of the obligation to marry at all so that she can continue her faithful works. But she begins to have second thoughts after further studying marriage through her sisters' experiences as well as spending time with two young men. One is a splendid young buck whose determined courtship must have ulterior motives; the other is a kindly, serious young clergyman whose friendship Mary values more and more. One day she realizes that God very much made man and woman to be together...but which is the man for her?

Intelligent and deeply felt, Feast Days follows a young wife who relocates with her financier husband to São Paulo -- a South American megacity that impresses and unsettles, conceals and erupts. Here in her new home, she reckons with the twenty-first century as she encounters crime, protests, refugees gentrification, and the collision of art and commerce, while confronting the crisis slowly building inside her own marriage. In stylish prose and with piercing wit, Ian MacKenzie tells the story of Emma, a young woman who has moved from New York to Brazil just as massive demonstrations against the government are breaking out across the country amid growing economic inequality. Emma has come to Brazil for her husband's career, with no job prospects of her own, a weak grasp of the language, and a deep ambivalence about having a child. Her early days in Sao Paulo are listless but privileged; she dines at high-end restaurants, tutors wealthy Brazilians in English, and observes the city she now calls home. But when Emma volunteers at a local church to assist refugees and grows more deeply connected to the people she meets in the course of her days, she finds herself unable to resist the tug of Sao Paulo's political and social unrest. As the country moves seemingly closer to a breaking point, so does Emma's marriage, as she and her husband can no longer ignore the silent, tectonic shifts beneath the surface of their relationship. Feast Days is a sharply observed story of expatriate life, as well as a meditation on the hidden costs of modern living and how easily our belief systems can collapse around us. "Devastating, funny and wise, it's among the best novels I know about the fate of American innocence abroad."-Garth Greenwell
What did sex mean for ordinary people before the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, who were often pitied by later generations as repressed, unfulfilled and full of moral anxiety? This book provides the first rounded, first-hand account of sexuality in marriage in the early and mid-twentieth century. These award-winning authors look beyond conventions of silence among the respectable majority to challenge stereotypes of ignorance and inhibition. Based on vivid, compelling and frank testimonies from a socially and geographically diverse range of individuals, the book explores a spectrum of sexual experiences, from learning about sex and sexual practices in courtship, to attitudes to the body, marital ideals and birth control. It demonstrates that while the era's emphasis on silence and strict moral codes could for some be a source of inhibition and dissatisfaction, for many the culture of privacy and innocence was central to fulfilling and pleasurable intimate lives.
Memories of someone you pined for keep your company a lifetime. They keep on bobbing up their heads awhile to let you relive the pain you once bore silently, stoically. That girl who met me at the shop, out of compulsion married someone else. I thought that she had gone out of my life but she came back. I did help her lead a respectful life but my wife came in the way and I could not do much except express my sympathy. Honestly, I genuinely wished to help her but my hands were tied down. The woman with her child left the town. She met me once again when my wife deserted me and I was a psychic wreck. My shop, too. was not doing well. The economic glide down forced me to put it up for sale. When I recovered, the truth hit me that she had helped me immeasurably. She didn't know that by so doing she had put me in a situation where my forgotten wound had reopened. I could not fathom how I could repay the debt I owed her. But in such matters Providence helps. I got an opportunity to redeem the commitment and for that I had had to place my life at stake. I thanked the economic debacle. I was happy that I was getting rid of my shop. But events so moved that I had once again to cling to it. True, I failed in doing away with my last piece of worldly attachment. I regret I could not rise up to Buddha's commandment.
​​Systemic Structure behind Human Organizations: From Civilizations to Individuals shows how the systemic yoyo model can be successfully employed to study human organizations at three different levels: civilizations, business enterprises, and individuals. This monograph tackles managerial problems from an holistic perspective such as how a business entity grows and dies and how a CEO can manipulate the choices of long- and short-term projects in order to gain more control over the board of directors. By creating a uniform language and logic of reasoning, the book provides examples and convincing results. Additionally the book shows how the same model, thinking logic, and methodology of the systems research can be equally applied to analyze problems and situations considered in natural sciences, social sciences, and humanity areas. Therefore it offers knowledge of a brand new tool to attack organizational problems. By concentrating on difficult, unsettled issues in these varying areas, this monograph thoroughly explains how some laws of nature can be established for the common study of natural and social sciences.​
