Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My hope is that this book will help the readers to overcome weaknesses and obstacles and will motivate them to live a fuller life. In a world that demands perfection, I feel that this book will interest, amaze, and inspire. My deepest wish would be for this book to help and uplift people born with a giant congenital nevus and all people born with unusual birth defects, disabilities, or deformities of any kind. People in general are fascinated by others that are different. I learned very early to be compassionate to the problems of others and to accept my own problems, and then later in life, I decided to live life to the fullest, appreciating each and every day. I am living a completely normal life. In fact, I am living a fantastic life with many adventures which I share in my writing.
Download or read book Freckles written by Eric G. Waggoner and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western Washington State - Two cantankerous characters, fifty somethings fall in love - a lady state trooper and a software mogul. She is widowed, he is a confirmed bachelor. Sparks fly, but a relationship is born or should we say reborn - they do not remember their first meeting as children who shared many interests. She was seven and he was nine when they met on that Whidbey Island beach long ago. Little did the lovers know of the coming storm - it would put their very lives on the line. They were troubled with premonitions. Fate would put them together at the wrong place at the wrong time - or so it seems, in the path of dangerous fanatics. Thrust into the fire, these defenders of the homeland and a handful of others faced the fight of their life on that icy wet November night against a determined terrorist cell with big plans. Would the couple survive to their wedding day? Would they even survive the night? Divine intervention from another character of supernatural persuasion, which had followed them from their very births, might help their odds. This 'secret' friend could have been responsible for incidents and accidents in their past that led up to this stormy November night. "That hillbilly angel is meddlin' agin' " The author, Eric G. Waggoner was born May 24, 1956 in Everett, Washington and has lived in western Washington most of his life. He is a production worker at the Boeing Company in Everett and a freelance writer. This is his first novel offering, a dark somewhat romantic comedy with a good helping of dangerous adventure and explosive action involving a couple of cantankerous hillbillies. He cites various influences - Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Robbins, Ken Kesey, James Michener and others too numerous to mention. A teller of tall tales, he hopes this is tall enough for you. Eric now lives in Marysville with his wife and his 16 year old daughter.
Download or read book Metamorphosis written by Faye Linda Wachs and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Losing her smile to synkinesis after unresolved Bell’s palsy changed how Faye Linda Wachs was seen by others and her internal experience of self. In Metamorphosis, interviewing over one hundred people with acquired facial difference challenged her presumptions about identity, disability, and lived experience. Participants described microaggressions, internalizations, and minimalizations and their impact on identity. Heartbreakingly, synkinesis disrupts the ability to have shared moments. When one experiences spontaneous emotion, wrong nerves trigger misfeel and misperception by others. One is misread by others and receives confusing internal information. Communication of and to the self is irrevocably damaged. Wachs describes the experience as a social disability. People found a host of creative ways to reinvigorate their sense of self and self-expression. Like so many she interviewed, Wachs experiences a process of change and growth as she is challenged to think more deeply about ableism, identity, and who she wants to be.

Download or read book Silver Mage written by C. M. Debell and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2008 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first age of Andeira, men and dragons brought together the two halves of the elemental magic of the world to create a union through which their magic, and the world, could support and renew itself. When war broke out, that union was destroyed - deliberately severed by the ancient mages in a desperate attempt to stop their enemies. They knew the price of their actions: the dragons would disappear from Andeira until such time as it would be safe for them to return, stripping the world of half the elemental magic it needed to survive. What the mages did not realise was that their enemies would survive the severing of the bond, threatening the prophecy created by the dragons to ensure their return in a later age. Three thousand years on, the world is slowly dying, and the dragons have been forgotten by all but a few. This is the story of one man's search across their ancient homeland, and his desperate bid to fulfil the prophecy and bring the dragons back into the world.
