The Third Daughter From Grown Ups

The Third Daughter's Wish

Josie Blume's earliest memories were of an eccentric mother who hid her three daughters away from prying eyes and scared off trespassers with a gun. Josie's bizarre childhood had to be the explanation for her miserable track record with the opposite sex. That's why the spunky interior designer needed to piece together her family puzzle, even though it meant finding the father who'd rejected her at birth -- and who might reject her again. As always, her buddy Gabe Thomas was beside her every step of the way. Yet the closer she got to the truth, the more confusing things became.

Bedtime Stories for Grown-ups

Raw! Romantic! Rough! – this is a collection of folktales from India. Sparrows and swallows, foxes and dogs, farmers and potters, kings and idiots populate these stories and tell you short and sharp stories of their lives. The pages of this book echo their sorrows, angers, gains and losses, and more importantly their laughters and love affairs. These stories showcase life in its naked form highlighting fanning and farting with equal frankness, and become the Bedtime Stories for Grown-ups. Presenting a collection of twenty-five short and very short stories, the book humorously answers some of the important questions like “What did the farmer’s wife do to make her husband active?” “Where did the he sparrow go all night, leaving the she sparrow and the chicks alone in the nest?” “Did the beggar get the chicken stew?” “Who did actually sleep with the potter?” “How did the man shut his loudmouth wife up?” “How did Half Nose become No Nose?” and many more intellectual musings concerning human survival. Written in a simple language, straightforward style, and matter-of-fact tone, these stories are expected to bring many a smile to your face, numerous sniggers, sometimes a couple of tears to your eyes (if you are a soft sort), but whatever they bring or not bring, it is certain that they will give you the pleasure of reading romantic stories at bedtime.
