Far from the outside world and society's rules, his place in Emily's life, as steadfast now as the light, will forever change their futures. But Andrew proves himself an enormous help and soon wins the hearts of the Lowry family. At first, Emily is intensely wary of this strange, charming man, whose very presence there is highly illegal. Unexpected help arrives when a runaway slave named Andrew washes up on their beach. As days stretch into months, Emily has no choice but to take charge of Wreckers' Cay and her husband's duties tending the light to support her three children-and a fourth on the way. One afternoon in 1839, Emily Lowry's husband vanishes from Wreckers' Cay, an isolated island off the coast of Key West where he tends the lighthouse. In the tradition of Leila Meacham and Dorothea Benton Frank comes a stunning debut novel about a well-born Southern woman who finds courage and strength to overcome tragedy with an unexpected new love.

Still, it’s an unnervingly threatening story behind all that singing. The live-action remake leaves out some of the more risqué (and some of the more racist) elements of the original, including Pinocchio smoking and drinking at a no-rules theme park called Pleasure Island. Hanks’ Geppetto gets the backstory we never knew we never needed, while the film hammers home Pinocchio’s core moral dilemma: What exactly is a “real boy”? With Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winning and more mature approach to the puppet who comes to life released in the same year, Disney had little chance of making an impact with this one, despite how visually stunning some of the sequences are.ĭirector Robert Zemeckis pushes this Pinocchio even further toward levity than the 1940 Disney film, based on Carlo Collodi’s gruesome 1883 novel. While you’re recovering from that, let’s delve into one of the least beloved live-action remakes of a Disney film yet. In the actual words of Tom Hanks’ Geppetto, “Pinocchio! Pinocchio! Holy smokey-o!” She's just blowing off steam, but other girls respond. Viv's mom was a tough-as-nails, punk rock Riot Grrrl in the '90s, and now Viv takes a page from her mother's past and creates a feminist zine that she distributes anonymously to her classmates. But most of all, Viv Carter is fed up with always following the rules. Fed up with sexist dress codes, hallway harassment, and gross comments from guys during class. Fed up with an administration at her high school that thinks the football team can do no wrong. MOXIE GIRLS FIGHT BACK Vivian Carter is fed up.

There's nothing like making trouble of your business.The four novellas collected here are quintessential Raymond Chandler: slick, crystal-clear writing that pins the reader to the seat and won't let go until the last page is turned. Before too long Marlowe's up to his neck in corpses and cops and he's taken pity on the girl.
