Between home and destination lay thousands of miles and dozens of annoyances, and with his family Richard Ratay experienced all of them-from being crowded into the backseat with noogie-happy older brothers, to picking out a souvenir only to find that a better one might have been had at the next attraction, to dealing with a dad who didn't believe in bathroom breaks. In the days before cheap air travel, families didn't so much take vacations as survive them. ![]() The birth of America's first interstate highways in the 1950s hit the gas pedal on the road trip phenomenon and families were soon streaming-sans seatbelts!-to a range of sometimes stirring, sometimes wacky locations. "A lighthearted, entertaining trip down Memory Lane" ( Kirkus Reviews ), Don't Make Me Pull Over! offers a nostalgic look at the golden age of family road trips-before portable DVD players, smartphones, and Google Maps. ![]()

![]() ![]() They’d seen each other seldom in the intervening years, that tragic night a guilty barrier between them. He’d wondered but never dared ask the full extent of Walfort’s injuries. Within them he could almost see the night he and Walfort had been barreling wildly through the London streets, the curricle traveling at a dangerous breakneck speed. He pressed his forearm against the stone mantel to steady himself while he studied the madly dancing flames. Instead, he staggered and almost lost his balance as he crossed over to the fireplace. ![]() ![]() You owe me this.”Īinsley pushed himself out of the chair. You would not countenance what I thought you uttered.” ![]() Walfort had aged considerably during that time, his brown hair having gone white at the temples, his brown eyes somber enough to chase off any gaiety in the room. “Does your silence indicate your acceptance of the terms?” Walfort asked.Īinsley scrutinized his cousin and longtime friend, sitting in that damned wheelchair, where he himself had placed the marquess three years earlier. After three hours, they were both well into their cups, so surely he’d misunderstood. He’d been downing excellent whiskey ever since his arrival at the Marquess of Walfort’s country estate for his once legendary hunt. Ransom Seymour, the ninth Duke of Ainsley, struggled to concentrate as he sat sprawled in a comfortable armchair in the well-appointed library. “I ’ll consider your debt paid in full if you get my wife with child.” ![]() ![]() Could she have killed him? If not, who did?Ĭhris Bohjalian is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of 24 books. Soon it's too late to come clean-or face the truth about what really happened back in Dubai. She lies to the FBI agents in New York who meet her at the gate. She lies on the way to Paris as she works the first class cabin. She lies as she joins the other flight attendants and pilots in the van. Afraid to call the police-she's a single woman alone in a hotel room far from home-Cassie begins to lie. And blood, a slick, still wet pool on the crisp white sheets. She quietly slides out of bed, careful not to aggravate her already pounding head, and looks at the man she spent the night with. When she awakes in a Dubai hotel room, she tries to piece the previous night back together, already counting the minutes until she has to catch her crew shuttle to the airport. ![]() She lives with them, and the accompanying self-loathing. She's a binge drinker, her job with the airline making it easy to find adventure, and the occasional blackouts seem to be inevitable. Cassandra Bowden is no stranger to hungover mornings. ![]() ![]() ![]() Berman then brought Ross to Fox as a current executive during her tenure as Entertainment President. ![]() The two first worked together at Sandollar TV, run by Berman, where they developed Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

'Crazy Rich Asians' Co-Writer Peter Chiarelli To Pen 'Fat Leonard' U.S. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lewis wrote more than 30 books which have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold millions of copies. Lewis's faith profoundly affected his work, and his wartime radio broadcasts on the subject of Christianity brought him wide acclaim. Lewis returned to Anglicanism at the age of 32, owing to the influence of Tolkien and other friends, and he became an "ordinary layman of the Church of England". ![]() According to Lewis's 1955 memoir Surprised by Joy, he was baptized in the Church of Ireland but fell away from his faith during adolescence. Both men served on the English faculty at Oxford University and were active in the informal Oxford literary group known as the Inklings. ![]() Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings. He is best known as the author of The Chronicles of Narnia, but he is also noted for his other works of fiction, such as The Screwtape Letters and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, including Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain. He held academic positions in English literature at both Oxford University ( Magdalen College, 1925–1954) and Cambridge University ( Magdalene College, 1954–1963). Clive Staples Lewis FBA (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963) was a British writer, literary scholar, and Anglican lay theologian. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While 12-year-old Helen’s inept parents searched unsuccessfully to find work, she was taken out of school to look after her six younger siblings and the full burden of keeping house fell on Helen’s young shoulders. It came as a terrible shock to find the thriving, wealthy port Helen’s father remembered as a boy, the place his own father made his fortune, had long since gone. With nothing more than the clothes they stood up in, the family of nine took the train to Liverpool where they hoped to rebuild their shattered lives. In 1931, Helen’s spendthrift father was declared bankrupt forcing the family to leave behind the nannies, servants, and beautiful middle-class home in the gentler South West of England. ![]() ![]() ![]() With Good Behaviour she achieved something quite extraordinary. I think the shape her modesty took was simply not feeling that being a very good writer was all that important. Molly was essentially modest, but like all good writers she knew deep down that she was good. She simply did not feel that being a good writer was all that importantīut with Good Behaviour it was instantly clear to me that she ought to step forth as herself, and her own hesitation about it was very slight. How I sympathised! She knew deep down she was good. ![]() “Brainy” was why Molly published all her early novels under a pseudonym. “Oh, you’re the brainy one, aren’t you?” said one of my partners at a hunt ball – and he might as well have accused me of reeking of halitosis. Both of us started out “horsey”, and both had learned to flinch at the word “brainy”. East Anglia and Ireland are chalk and cheese, but there are still resemblances between big-house families (particularly if short of cash) and both of us came from such families. What had moved me to such bad behaviour was not only the novel’s quality, it was also the extent to which I shared Molly’s background. ![]() ![]() This man guards the author's winnings after a card game. ![]()
