Building Forever
Charlie King is doing fine. Sure, he's a widower raising a teenage daughter who just got her first boyfriend, his book series isn't writing itself, and he has a crush on his new neighbor -- the guy next door. But everything's just fine. Simon Lynley is doing better. He moved to Bethlehem to fall out of love and rebuild his career. An affair with his neighbor isn't part of the plan, but the attraction between them is too hard to ignore. But when Simon's ex follows him to Pennsylvania seeking reconciliation, and Charlie's life starts to feel like a video on repeat, everything comes apart. Charlie worries that he's failing as a father, and Simon is a distraction he can't afford. Meanwhile Simon doesn't know if he could survive being left again, and he hasn't come all this way to make the same mistakes. But despite their fears, it's only together that they'll find the strength to slay old foes and build the forever they've been waiting for.
Skyscrapers
This history of skyscrapers examines how these tall buildings affected the cityscape and the people who worked in, lived in, and visited them. Much of the focus is rightly on the architects who had the vision to design and build America's skyscrapers, but attention is also given to the steelworkers who built them, the financiers who put up the money, and the daredevils who attempt to "conquer" them in some inexplicable pursuit of fame. The impact of the skyscraper on popular culture, particularly film and literature, is also explored.
Hide or Seek
Charles C. Woods remembers hearing someone say childhood has nothing to do with who we are today. He could not disagree more. In Hide or Seek, he shares his memories growing up in Tuckerman, Arkansas, highlighting his first eight years. Nicknamed “Bubby” by his older brothers, he suffered tragedy and loss—but also enjoyed good times. As you read, allow your inner child to walk alongside him as he copes with the unexpected and finds strength to persevere. One of the best lifelines he had growing up was Jesus. When the author needed Him, He was there—and continues to be there to this day. When the author needed someone to help, He brought them. Anytime a person opens their life, they take a chance of losing a part of themselves. The author wrote this book to gain a part of himself that had been missing—and to encourage others to avoid hiding things of the heart. Join the author as he recalls what has shaped him into the person, he is today in this collection of childhood memories.
