Christmas from the Heart
A Scrooge-like executive clashes with a smalltown charity director in this charming holiday romance by a USA Today–bestselling author. Olivia Berg’s charity, Christmas from the Heart, has helped generations of families in need in Pine River, Washington, but this year might be the end of the road. Hightower Enterprises, one of their biggest donors since way back when Olivia’s grandmother ran the charity, has been taken over by Ebenezer Scrooge the Second, aka CFO Guy Hightower, and he’s declared there will be no more money coming to Christmas from the Heart. Guy is simply being practical. Hightower Enterprises needs to tighten its belt, and when you don’t have money to spare, you don’t have money to share. You’d think even the pushy Olivia Berg could understand that. With charitable donations dwindling, Olivia’s Christmas budget depends on Hightower’s contribution. She’s focused her whole life on helping this small town, even putting her love life on hold to support her mission. When Guy’s Maserati breaks down at the edge of the Cascade foothills, he’s relieved to be rescued by a pretty young woman who drives him to the nearby town of Pine River. Until he realizes his rescuer is none other than Olivia Berg. What’s a Scrooge to do? Plug his nose and eat fruitcake and hope she doesn’t learn his true identity before he can get out of town. What could go wrong? Praise for Christmas from the Heart “The literary equivalent of watching It’s a Wonderful Life with a mug of hot chocolate and a plate of cookies.” —The Booklist Reader “A deftly crafted and delightfully entertaining novel from the pen of an author with a genuine flair for originality and the creation of memorable characters.” —Midwest Book Reviews
The Razor's Edge
In 'The Razor's Edge,' W. Somerset Maugham intricately weaves a narrative that explores the existential quest for meaning and fulfillment against the backdrop of post-World War I society. Utilizing a distinctive storytelling style that blends rich character development with philosophical introspection, Maugham delves into the lives of several individuals, particularly Larry Darrell, a disillusioned veteran searching for enlightenment beyond material success. The literary context of the novel situates it within the modernist movement, reflecting the disjointed realities of a world grappling with the aftermath of war and the turbulent shift in societal values. W. Somerset Maugham, a renowned British playwright, novelist, and short story writer, drew upon his extensive travels and experiences in diverse cultures to craft this masterpiece. His observations of human nature, along with his own struggles with identity and purpose, significantly informed the narrative. Maugham's keen insights into the human condition and his background in both the arts and medicine provide a profound foundation for the philosophical inquiries presented within the novel. For readers seeking a deep exploration of personal and spiritual journeys, 'The Razor's Edge' is an essential read. Maugham's eloquent prose, combined with his incisive critique of contemporary society, invites readers to reflect on their own lives, urging them to ponder the delicate balance between ambition and authenticity.
