A funny, bittersweet exploration of how a child can change in one short year of love, loss, and growing up…

Seven-year-old Scotty Ocean decides that seven is going to be "his year." But soon after his birthday, his artist-turned-alcoholic mother abandons the family—leaving Scotty and his two older sisters alone with their father. As his perfect year is torn apart (falls apart?), Scotty begins to act out during school and takes a series of increasingly wild actions to try to win his mother back—and, when that doesn't work, to replace her.

    Wives and Daughters(VI) 妻子与女儿/锦绣佳人(英文版)

    Wives and Daughters is an emotional novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, first published in the Cornhill Magazine as a serial from August 1864 to January 1866. When Mrs Gaskell died suddenly in 1867, it was not quite complete, and the last section was written by Frederick Greenwood. The heroine of the novel is Molly, an attractive and rather unworldly young woman. Her father sends her to stay with the Hamleys of Hamley Hall, a gentry family. Molly forms a close attachment with Mrs. Hamley, who embraces her almost as a daughter. Molly also befriends the younger son, Roger. Molly is aware that she would not be considered a suitable match for the sons of Squire Hamley because of her status. However, she has always preferred Roger's good sense and honourable character and soon falls in love with him. Unfortunately, Roger falls in love with other girl. Molly is heartbroken, and struggles with her sorrow and her knowledge that the girl lacks affection for Roger.

  • 世界顶级思维大全

    世界顶级思维大全

    心理学家与哲学家认为,思维是人类最本质的一种资源,是一种复杂的心理过程。他们将思维定义为:人脑经过长期进化而形成的一种特有的机能,是人脑对客观事物的本质属性和事物之间内在联系的规律性所作出的概括与间接的反应。思维控制了一个人的思想和行动,也决定了一个人的视野、事业和成就。不同的思维会产生不同的观念和态度,不同的观念和态度产生不同的行动,不同的行动产生不同的结果。做任何事情,如果缺乏良好的思维,就会自塞闭路,障碍重重,非但难以解决问题,而且还会使事情变得愈加复杂。只有拥有良好的思维,才能化解生活的难题,收获理想的硕果。正确的思维是开拓成功道路的重要动力源。
