q.shopAbout this product
This bundle offers books from different authors which boasts about presenting a romantic adventure in two different perspectives.
1. Love for a Deaf Rebel
Synopsis - With pathos and nostalgia, the author recounts his roller-coaster ride with Pearl, a vivacious deaf maverick, who, unknown to him, had paranoid schizophrenia. We follow their encounters through actual notes written before Derrick learns sign language
Excerpt: A black-haired woman sat under the clock, her back to the wall, scanning the crowd with radar eyes. Her porcelain face, brown eyes, and high cheekbones gave her face a long-distance presence, yet her elegance was neutralized by a brown dress and a perm. Her drab style contrasted with the gaudy colors and big hair of the 1980s. She wore no makeup or jewelry. Her radar locked on to me as I looked for a seat.
The seat opposite her became vacant. I elbowed my way through the crowd and sat down. I was wearing a blue suit with a white shirt and a silk tie; like most bankers, I only removed my jacket on the hottest of summer days.
I loosened my tie. I ate while she studied me with the barest hint of a smile. I smiled at her and looked away. She looked at me while she ate fish and chips and sucked down the last of a Coke with a gurgle.
“What are you staring at?” I finally said.
She pointed to her mouth and then to her right ear.
“Are you deaf?” I said, at first puzzled and then surprised.
She nodded.
I took the gold Cross pen from my suit pocket, picked up a napkin, and wrote, “Spicy horseradish.”
I turned my napkin to face her. She read it and smiled at me as if she expected me to write more.
“I wondered why you looked at me. I never met a deaf person before.”
“I watch lips. If you speak and I ignore you will think I am rude. I don’t want hearing to think that deafies like me are rude.”
“Can you lipread?” I said.
The woman shook her head.
“Most people never look at each other. They only look at the floor. That’s why I spoke to you.
2. Mr. Mysterious in Black
- Sadie Francé has known nothing but pain all her life. Good things just didn't happen to people like her. Once, she let herself believe the opposite. She believed the lies of the mysterious rich boy who was hell-bent on making her his girl.
He gave her a taste... A taste of happiness. A taste of love. A taste of life.
But the moment Sadie began to let her guard down, believing life wasn't so much of a bitch after all, that taste, that sweet nectar, turned bitter on her tongue.
Heartbreak.
When yet another of life's unfortunate circumstances worked in her favor this time around, ridding her of her painful memories, Sadie trusted that she was safe. Free.
Until seven years later...
