Under normal circumstances, Katelyn Ross would be delighted to travel back to her hometown of Niagara-on-the-Lake. She loved the beautiful lakeside community, steeped in history and lovingly preserved. It was what inspired her to become an architect. Sadly, the circumstances she found herself in were not normal; her mother was dead, the tragic victim of a motor vehicle collision. Grief-stricken, Katelyn is intent on quickly settling the estate and returning to her comfortable and successful life in Vancouver. Shes not looking forward to reconnecting with Adam Wilson their breakup had been less than amicable those seven years previous but the reunion in unavoidable. Adam is her mothers investment broker. To Katelyns surprise, Adam isnt the same man she once knew, and despite herself, she is captivated by his transformation. Adams boyish good looks, flamboyant personality, and opulent lifestyle arent the only changes in his character, and Katelyn is quickly led down a path of passion, deceit, and heartache. Her life crumbling around her, Katelyn reaches out across the miles to her close friend and employer, Dan Neufeld. Stinging from a recent divorce after twenty years of marriage, the true romantic lying dormant within Dan is stirred when he realizes the impact Katelyns absence is having on his life, and he is forced to reassess his relationship with her and the friendship they share. Adam Wilsons lust for the finer things in life has come with a heavy price tag. His greed wins out over commonsense and he partners with two businessmen who prove to be more corrupt than he is. Underestimating their power and ruthlessness, Adams life is placed in peril with little chance for redemption.

A lyrical exploration of love and loss, this book centers on several generations of women in a bucolic southern Black township as they live with and sometimes surrender to madness. The Goode-Brown family, led by matriarch and pillar of the community Minnie Mae, is plagued by old secrets and embarrassment over mental illness and illegitimacy. Meanwhile, single mother Francine Clark is haunted by her dead, lightning-struck husband and forced to fight against both the moral judgment of the community and her own rebellious daughter, Mona. The residents of Opulence struggle with vexing relationships to the land, to one another, and to their own sexuality. As the members of the youngest generation watch their mothers and grandmothers pass away, they live with the fear of going mad themselves and must fight to survive. The author offers up Opulence and its people in lush, poetic detail. It is a world of magic, conjuring, signs, and spells, but also of harsh realities that only love - and love that's handed down - can conquer.

In this 34th volume in the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy series, an international group of scholars examine what is meant by "virtue," probing various historical and analytical meanings of virtue; notions of liberal virtue, civic virtue and judicial virtue; the nature of secular and theological virtue.

Start down your path to prosperity the right way—four essential books on wealth and self-improvement by Napoleon Hill! Napoleon Hill is considered by many to be the first and most important name in self-help and prosperity—now, for the first time, Tarcher/Penguin offers you his most important works in one place! Think and Grow Rich This book has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself. In the original Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, Hill draws on the life stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation. In the updated version, Arthur R. Pell, Ph.D., a nationally known author, lecturer, consultant in human resources management, and an expert in applying Hill's thought, interweaves anecdotes of how contemporary millionaires and billionaires—such as Bill Gates, Mary Kay Ash, Dave Thomas, and Sir John Templeton—achieved their wealth. Outmoded or arcane terminology and examples are faithfully refreshed to preclude any stumbling blocks to a new generation of readers. Think Your Way to Wealth Returned to print after many years of unavailability, this book opens the doorway to a treasury of wisdom. Think Your Way to Wealth captures Napoleon Hill's initial encounter with Andrew Carnegie, who revealed the money-attracting strategy that Hill later popularized in his later work. Think Your Way to Wealth is Hill's vivid account of that seminal meeting and captures Carnegie's initial advice, how-to’s, practical steps, and concrete directions. Originally published in 1948, Think Your Way to Wealth has been out of print and unavailable for many years. This new Tarcher Success Classics edition reproduces the complete, original text just as Hill first presented it. The Master Key to Riches The Master-Key to Riches is the blueprint that Napoleon Hill placed in the hands of those who would teach and perfect his success methods. Now revised and updated for the twenty-first century to avoid arcane language or points of reference, this book contains the full range of ideas and exercises that appeared in the original edition. In this volume, Hill covers lessons including: * The Law of Cosmic Habitforce * Andrew Carnegie's "Master Mind" Method * The Magic of Going the "Extra Mile" * The Twelve True Riches of Life The Magic Ladder to Success This book is the volume in which Napoleon Hill first distilled the seventeen factors that make up his "Law of Success" philosophy. These key principles capture the ethics and actions that empower all who harness them to become leaders in the field of their choice. Leaders are not born, Hill argues, they are molded by a remarkably similar, simple, and dynamic set of habits. The Magic Ladder to Success is Napoleon Hill's lost classic—long out of print, this new edition has been revised and updated for the twenty-first century.
