After years of struggle, Roth finally broke free from the destructive cycle of bingeing and purging. In the two decades since her triumph, she has gone on to help tens of thousands of others do the same through her lectures, workshops, and retreats.

Book excerpt: A Man's Hungry Heart is the sequel to master storyteller Jim Carson's powerful trilogy that takes place in the river town of Memphis, Tennessee overlooking the mighty Mississippi. After his debut novel, A Chasing After The Wind, Jim continues the story of Mack Shannon and his quest for power and recognition. He gambles all that he owns and can borrow to design and construct, a development consisting of the Trinity Towers: three, 33 story corporate towers, a world class shopping mall, and The Astor Hotel and Casino. This is the largest private endeavor in the history of Tennessee. Mack spends every waking hour fighting to insure its success, but two of his childhood nemesis, Crazy Ray and Dago, return and continue their revenge to destroy his empire. Mack, a patron of the arts, has offered his palatial home to celebrate the 125th birthday of The Beethoven Club. Among the guests is Chancellor McKenzie O'Connor, a woman who can finally match him in wit and ambition, and when introduced: "Mack turned at the call of his name and was so stunned by her natural beauty and magnetism that his heart skipped a beat. He was close, so close he could smell her minted breath. He stared for the longest time into her green eyes and for the first time he understood what the songwriter meant when he wrote, 'When Irish eyes are smiling, they steal your heart away.'" However, fantasy is not reality. The reality, of which he is unaware, is that she has signed a warrant for his arrest. Now, at the top of his game, he has narrowed his objectives to what is most important in his life: his legacy and his 10-year old daughter, Irish Shannon. Will Mack complete his life long dream of power and fame? Or will he have to risk more than just his fortune to save his young daughter?""

Download or read book The Hungry Heart written by Peter Wells and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the NZ Post Award this fascinating, innovative biography is of a true original and significant figure in NZ's early colonisation. "I love doubters: of a truly honest doubter I have great hope." Printer, botanist and missionary, William Colenso was a nineteenth-century maverick, a true original. He protested at the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, arguing that Maori did not fully understand its implications. He became a troubled conscience during the white-hot period of colonisation, maintaining his dissident voice throughout his career. Peter Wells refreshes our vision of this awkward, highly talented man, who lost his family after the church expelled him for fathering a child by a Maori woman. Rejected by church, family and friends, Colenso made botany his home and lovingly described the plants of New Zealand. At the same time he wrote a series of remarkable pamphlets that open up our past. 'I write for future generations,' he noted in 1881. The time has come to welcome Colenso back.

Download or read book Hungry Heart written by Clare Finney and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning food writer Clare Finney presents a moving, heartfelt exploration of the intertwining influences of food and love From family feasts to comfort foods, first dates to office cake; how does what we eat define us, and the relationships we have with others? Award-winning food writer Clare Finney delves into these questions with a rare and insightful sensitivity, telling a powerful story of life and love whilst uncovering the manifold ways in which food touches all relationships: from perfect strangers to partners, parents and friends. Beginning with a childhood spent in her grandmother’s hotel kitchen and ending at her grandfather's bedside, she charts a course through the meals and recipes which have shaped the person she is today. Finney also investigates the role food plays in a modern society which can often feel isolating, exploring how eating unites us in varied ways throughout our lives. From the dance of culinary courtship entailed in dating to the funeral foods that remind us of the connections between life and death, Finney examines the power of food and drink to attract, bind and define us – and of course, its power to divide and repel. At a time when our relationship towards what, when and where we eat has become increasingly complicated, Hungry Heart is a feast; an honest, heart-warming account of humans breaking bread together and what that really means.

Download or read book Hungry Heart written by Lorene Masters and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2014-05-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hungry Heart is filled with the honest searching of a girls coming of age and beyond, looking for love and acceptance. At times the journey to adulthood is seen through revealing journal entries and poetry; at other times it sounds the desperate inborn cry of the human heart from infancy to adulthoodthe need to be loved and cherished. Hungry Heart tells the story of the search for love through food, men, more food, more men, and finally finding the hunger quenched by the greatest love of all. What I remember most about Lorene is that she always had a smile on her face no matter what the situation was. It was hard to tell if she was on top of the world or hurting terribly inside. She was never unkind to anyone, even those that didn't treat her well. I truly believe she has a spirit that cant be broken. I know there was a lot of pain in those days but she never let it totally defeat her. It is very evident now that she has raised above all that to become very successful and works tirelessly to inspire others.
