Book Description

Now a beautiful woman, determined to live life on her own terms, Ty learns that Steve stands on the brink of ruin. Moved by memories of his kindness to her, she offers him financial backing, but Steve perceives only a selfish socialite amusing herself at his expense. In a daring move, he challenges Ty to be not only a financial partner -- but a full-time farmhand as well, expecting she'll tire of the hardships of a working stable. To Steve's surprise, Ty takes up his challenge.

As they rebuild Southwind, Steve's beloved stable, they find unexpected strength and comfort in each other -- and a passion neither can deny. But their fragile love will be tested by not only those who seek to destroy what they have built, but also the insecurities and doubts that shadow their own very vulnerable hearts.

Tremendous!.......2004-06-18

For those of us adult horse lovers, this book is not to miss! There are too few authors out there that weave one of our life passions into words.

Well written with good horsey detail.......2002-11-07

I really enjoyed this book. It's well-written in general, and has a terrific background in the American "A" hunter-jumper circuit. The author clearly knows her horses, because the details are unusually accurate, which makes it a pleasure to read if you're a horse lover. (Her other novel, Ride a Dark Horse, is similarly excellent.)

The romance is fun and pleasantly steamy, and the characters stay pretty smart throughout - there are no painfully stupid moments to read through. There are occasional plot conveniences (in particular Ty would've been very well known on the circuit) but none too jarring.

I especially liked the scene with the car keys.

I'm glad I bought it..........2002-04-16

I stumbled across this book while shopping, and I'm just sorry Laura Moore doesn't have more books in print. I enjoyed "Ride a Dark Horse", but I liked this one even more. If you haven't already read it, you should give it a try. I think you'll like it. I just can't wait for Laura's next book to come out...

Great Chance for a wonderful read.......2001-11-25

This author's first novel,Ride A Dark Horse was very good, but this book is my favorite, it leaves me looking forward to this new author's next book. The story was well paced and kept my interest very high. I was sorry that it ended...not many books do that. I am giving it a hostess gifts this holiday season.

Loved the book!!.......2001-10-31

I loved Chance Meeting and am looking forward very much to the next book. Could it be about Lizzie and Sam?
I enjoyed how the characters from Ride a Dark Horse were tied into this book. It only took me four hours to read it, it was that good. I am a horse owner and I love to read so naturally I look for the "horsey" romances. I hope to see many more from Laura Moore!

Book Description

Each chapter of this inventive consideration of American culture evokes an actual meeting between American writers and artists, from Henry James and Mathew Brady, to Mark Twain and Ulysses S. Grant, to Elizabeth Bishop and Marianne Moore, to Norman Mailer and Robert Lowell. The accumulation of these pairings draws the reader into the mysterious process by which creativity has been sparked and passed on, from the Civil War through the civil rights movement.

An Intimate Portrait of Various Artists.......2007-01-20

Much like her narrative, Cohen's eyes draw the reader into her own world from the surface of her dustjacket. And what is that world? A world of intimiate connections expressed through the smallest of gestures and the shortest of moments. It is obvious from reading A Chance Meeting that Cohen has entwined herself with each and every one of her subjects to become their close friend, despite being decades away from meeting them in person. That doesn't stop her, however, from creating a wonderful narrative of shared moments and chance meetings between various artists of the early 20th Century. Whether those actors or authors managed to sustain a relationship for years, or merely sense each other from across the room, doesn't matter as Cohen has an art for deeply plumbing each character's soul to see the impact that such meetings have upon their decisions. Not every one is moved by such small encounters as an introduction, but Cohen pieces together a rich tapestry of influential artists, each of which motivated another through such moments, and does a fine job of it. Finally, one gets to see the authors completely naked, instead of through the rough hewn lens of their work.

Past Cultural Icons Lead the Way on their Inter-connected Path.......2006-06-08

Everything the editorial reviews say about "A Chance Meeting" is all true. Rachel Cohen has placed 30 major American cultural figures--writers and artists--in 36 intertwined encounters ranging more than a century (1854-1967) that reads like a cross of a gossipy letter home (back when we did that) and carefully thought-out commentary and conjecture.

This book is not only an informative, fun, and thought-provoking read--for artists and writers, it is a well of companionship. Have you ever been lonely in your studio or study as you created? Have you ever been broke, searching for that next fellowship or contract? Have you ever been inspired by a chance meeting of a fellow/sister artist and writer? Did you ever wonder what pleasures and problems fame might bring? These and many other questions are answered in these rich encounters.

Authors and artists I've studied are presented here as human beings working to remain human while they create their work. This is a tremendous guidebook not only for lovers of cultural history, but also for current makers of culture.

Book Description

This book shares the beauty of chance meetings that are testaments to living life, rather than being a bystander. These stories are from people of all ages. Each meeting ultimately leads to a lasting and meaningful relationship. Chance Meetings that Tied the Knot helps to empower women and men to look at life as center stage, when everyday experiences can be creative and fulfilling. Just like a wonderful recipe, the ingredients of true and enduring love are available to everyone. The key is the recipe. A marriage and family psychologist once said, "If people would learn to trust themselves, change their surroundings, and take a chance on life, more meaningful relationships would be developed." Treat these stories as little gifts. Each is to be cherished. These vignettes hold the seeds of love that have grown and matured as time passes. And just like history, these situations repeat themselves bringing the chance for love into everyone's life.

A great book for moms and daughters!.......2006-11-08

This is a fun and engaging book to read, with short chapters that can be enjoyed in just a few minutes. Each story has a postive learning experience for all ages. I purchased the book as a gift for my 10 year old daughter, and we enjoy reading a chapter a night together. After each chapter, we talk about what happened in the story and why. It's a great way for the two of us to discuss the nuances of making friends, complicated or ethical choices, and how to make the best decisions about personal relationships. Then, I sometimes share personal stories from my own life. The book's stories take about ten minutes to read out loud, but the good mom-daughter conversations can go on for hours!

Jan Newman's book is a compilation of wonderfully charming stories of how you can meet your True Love in all the funniest and chanciest places. For those of you not sure when he/she will arrive on your doorstep, Jan reveals how you will least expect it and there it will be. A MUST READ for everyone who loves LOVE, and realizes how serendipitous Life and Love is.

inspirational reading that gives hope to those looking for love.......2006-01-22

Chance Meetings is a book that will inspire anyone who is feeling hopeless about finding love as well as those who have been successful. The individual accounts of how people "accidentally" or "fatefully" found their soul mates is not only entertaining to read but will make you think twice about whether destiny rules in our love lives or if we rule destiny. Fun to read and insightful- a must for anyone, male or female, who is looking for love or has found it.

The Goat Cried.......2000-07-15

A collection of Southern folk tales reminscent of John Steinbeck's style. The stories are deeply rooted in the Southern tradition of family life, discipline and the morals of country living which are virtually non-existent. An excellent example of morality dependent upon the situation the character is living.

A SUCCESSFUL VENTURE IN HISTORICAL IMAGINING.......2005-11-12

Rachel Cohen's A Chance Meeting: Intertwined Lives of American Writers and Artists 1854-1967 is an exceptional work of literary detection and interpretation. In thirty-six chapters, Cohen narrates a set of encounters of distinguished American literati and artists across the span of 113 years, laying out changes in the preoccupations and sensibilities of American writers and artists in the century that followed the Civil War. Some meetings are brief, even one-time, and peripheral to the protagonists' lives as, for instance, the Henry James, still a child, sitting with his father for a photograph by Matthew Brady, or William Dean Howells' one-time meeting with Walt Whitman, or Richard Avedon's photo shoot of modernists Merce Cunningham, John Cage, and Robert Rauschenberg. The meeting of James and Brady is also a "might have been" meeting, for Cohen takes a daring chance to capture and describe James's literary and intellectual sensibility on the brink of radical change. Other chapters describe longer standing relationships -Mark Twain and Ulysses S. Grant, Edward Steichen and Alfred Steiglitz, Joseph Cornell and Marianne Moore, Hart Crane's disastrous stay in Mexico with Katherine Anne Porter, the complicated father and son relationship of W. E. B. Du Bois and Langston Hughes, the advance-retreat relationship between Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston.

This is not a book of strict factual history (although nothing in it runs counter to what can be proved using historical methods) but rather a book of rich historical sensitivity that illuminates a critical period in the maturing of our country's literature and art. It is written with exceptional grace: each chapter can be read separately without loss in pleasure or comprehension. This is a bold venture that deserves a wide readership.

The reader who enjoys A Chance Meeting may also enjoy Louis Menand's The Metaphysical Club: A History of Ideas in America (which I am reading right now).

Excellent Book About Artists in America.......2004-06-24

This is a collection of essays about the private lives of important American authors and artists. Cohen's essays are based almost entirely on secondary works and begin with 19th Century authors and artists and then continue on through the 20th Century.
These essays are written in such a way that you get a feel for the kind of folks that these artistic types actually were. The reader learns all sorts of interesting things about these people such as their vices, lusts and secret desires.

This is an excellent book about the history of artistic endeavor in America.

Relax and Set Sail on Artistic Adventures with a Noble Cast.......2004-06-09

Rachel Cohen has created a diversion in A CHANCE MEETING: INTERTWINED LIVES OF AMERICAN ARTISTS, 1854 - 1967 that is more a series of illuminated daydreams than it is a sourcebook for biographical data on the important artists in American over a century spanning 1860s through 1960s. No, this is not a code of secretive encounters between unlikely and disparate writers, photograpahers, and artists, nor is it a professed series of inside stories meant to reveal the truths about those we deem as gifted. Cohen writes splendidly, and though she documents with copious bibliography and chapter notes the instances she encountered in her survey of 'chance meetings ' by a diversity of disparate artists, she seems more intent on using fact as springboard to create cadenzas of intricately woven possibilities to stimulate the reader to enter the wonderful world of 'what if?' than in declaring new-found discoveries of data/gossip.

Here in short and terse chapters we meet Matthew Brady, Walt Whitman, Henry James, Marcel Duchamp, Langston Hughes, Hart Crane, Mark Twain, Willa Cather, Alfred Steiglitz with and without Georgia O'Keefe, Charlie Chaplin, Richard Avedon, Gertrude Stein with and without Alice B. Toklas, etc., etc. - you get the picture. The joy of Cohen's writing is the possibilities created by perseverating on the conversations that might have occurred among these people, whether in duet or in orchestrated outcome. My bet is that if the casts of characters here discussed were to read these informative and provocative pages, they doubtless would smile, swoon, curse, or laugh, but in some way react to the vision and imagination of Rachel Cohen. This is a delightful book for devout readers and lovers of artistic history. There is so much to learn about artists who even today are on the periphery as well as the giants we all 'think' we know! This wonderful book is for relaxation and diversion and the rewards are many.

William Dean Howells liked blueberry cake.......2004-04-19

A CHANCE MEETING, divided into into 36 short chapters, contains stories of the relationships between noted writers and artists from just before the Civil War to the late 1960s. Most of the chapters are framed around a single meeting, but contain digressions which sometimes encompass other famous figures.
What are we to make of this unique, celebratory, and quite often infuriating work? Each chapter is backed up by Rachel Cohen's source notes, detailing the basis for the events and behavior described. Yet, throughout the book there's a curiously speculative tone, Cohen describes many of her beloved figures as "maybe" doing or thinking this or that. In the opening chapter, Henry James (then a young boy) is described as feeling a "persistent uneasiness" while eating ice cream after having his portrait taken by Matthew Brady. Cohen notes this episode is invented, but then one must ask, "Why is this important?" Surely a book very much like this could have been written without such flights of fancy?

Indeed, several chapters fail to coalesce at all. In a chapter on Willa Cather and Sarah Orne Jewett, Cohen asserts that the fact Cather did NOT meet Henry James changed the artistic direction of her career. How can this be proven? In most of these vignettes, no direct suggestion is made of how the characters influenced each other. Cohen is edging away from history and criticism and dangerously close to short fiction here. The book picks up in the last third, with some gossipy stuff about Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop and a funny scene of Marianne Moore and Muhammad Ali together, but the whole thing is much too ephemeral. The photographer Richard Avedon provided several photos - he's thanked in the acknowledgements - but did he deserve to be included in the title of several chapters? It's not as if the people he photographed (Langston Hughes and Carl Van Vechten, for example) hadn't met before.
A suggestion: read some of the books Cohen sites in her bibliography instead of A CHANCE MEETING.

Comfort Reading.......2004-04-19

What an exhilierating experience! I savored these 36 essays over a few weeks, reading only a handful a night before I went to bed. The book is just beautiful; there is no other word to describe the writing, tone, and voice of Rachel Cohen's book.

It will change your life.......2007-10-10

I just finished reading this book, Shortcut Through Therapy, twice. I want to study it until I really "get it". When I read a book I underline what speaks to me and this book has almost every page highlighted! Richard Carlson had a way of putting "truths" into everyday language that the average person can understand. I do feel the book could have spun a more positive note regarding therapists or else not mentioned them at all. I plan on buying 10 copies to pass around to friends and family. Last year I passed around copies of, The Big Book of Small Stuff, also by Richard Carlson, and it was well appreciated by most of the recipients.

Thank You Richard Carlson, Wherever You Are..........2007-07-19

This is an amazing book that has helped me through many a troubled time. Occasionally, I re-read it, in full, usually once a year and consider the book to contain some of the most sound advice I've come across in learning to deal with everyday stress/problems, particularly through recognize thoughts as being no more than JUST thoughts which can be addressed then dismissed. I was saddened to hear of Carlson's passing in December and am grateful for the help he provided many.

Best Self-Help Book, and I have read many,... too many........2001-04-21

As I have written in several book reviews of the self-help genre, nearly all such books are wordy, repetitive, and should be condensed to booklets. (That will never happen; imagine the profit margin of a booklet compared to a full-sized paperback or hardcover.)

However, Shortcut Through Therapy: Ten Principles of Growth-Oriented, Contented Living by Richard Carlson is outstanding! It is concise and forthright in both its explanations and examples.

I skipped most of the first section; it repeats most of what Dr. Carlson states in his other books. (All of which I have read.) I went straight to the actual principles. Boy, do the ideas Carlson teaches ever make sense!

At the expense of sounding like a salesman, you really do have to read the ten principles that lead to a healthy psychological state to actually appreciate them. They are simple to understand, and virtually impossible to refute or rebut.

With the growing trend toward simplicity, this book takes the lead in showing how one can achieve a happy, peaceful, simple life that results in many rewards, both tangible and intangible.

I have not liked all of Dr. Carlson's books, most of them yes, not all (see my other review), but he clearly has written a winner this time. I am not sure when this book was written in relation to his other several books, but if you had to read just one of Dr. Carlson's books, let it be this one!

I re-read portions of it regularly, in addition to giving copies to friends.

At first the title sounded a bit like a snake oil remedy, "read this and all your problems with be solved and you'll never have to go through conventional therapy again!" Consequently, I started the book with a negative impression, primarily due to the title, but the title is precisely what the advice in the book offers: Specific principles the majority of therapists never teach their clients, principles that if practices regularly, would put a GREAT number of therapists right out of practice. (In fact, most therapists have harped on and on indoctrinating principles in their clients for decades that are the antithesis of the ten principles that Dr. Carlson teaches. Their attempts at assisting their clients usually result in needlessly prolonging one's therapy rather than curtailing it when it is time to move on to a happy, meaningful life.)

As I began in this review, I am a tough sell when it comes to books, tapes, etc. in the self-help genre. In order for me to take time to write a review about a self-help book, it has to be either top-notch or utterly worthless, otherwise I don't bother reviewing the legion of mediocre books in the field. However, in this case, Shortcut Through Therapy: Ten Principles of Growth-Oriented, Contented Living by Richard Carlson is a MUST READ!

THE MOST BENEFICIAL SELF-HELP BOOK I'VE EVER READ!.......1999-08-16

Thank you Richard Carlson for writing this book. It was a joy to read, thanks to your knowledge and your wit. I believe the answers to leading a richer and happier life are right here in the pages of this book. I liken this book to AA for alcoholics, Weight Watchers for dieters and SmokeEnders for smokers. It is also a program that is presented in a clear and simple format, using basic terminology, yet its messages are profound in their impact towards attaining true peace of mind and personal fulfillment. I've known many people throughout my life (including myself) who put their hopes, time and money into traditional psychotherapy, only to become more hindered than helped through the process of reiterating and dredging up old wounds. Practicing the principles of this book regularly is cheaper and easier than a therapist and it is almost guaranteed you will find positive results.

A practical approach to managing stress, anger, and pain.......1999-02-05

Carlson, best known as the author of "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff", provides an upbeat and amazingly simple set of techniques for dealing with the angers and pains we carry with us, sometimes from earliest childhood. First, he shows us how it is our thinking about a problem that causes us pain, not the problem itself. Then, he presents 10 steps for freeing ourselves from the thinking trap and along the way finding joy and pleasure in our lives. Carlson is a compassionate and cogent writer who avoids both technical jargon and psychobabble.
