In Casting Off we followed Emma on her amazing adventures as she sailed the globe in search of something more. We laughed, we cried and we 'aaahhhh'ed. Untie the Lines picks up where Casting Off left off. There's love in the air in the form of Guy, the handsome sailor Emma met in Casting Off. Will they sail off happily into the sunset together? And there's an abundance of sailing adventure to be had in the USA and Caribbean too. But there are also difficult times, as we follow Emma's journey through more heartache and anguish, as she is forced to return to London, to her old, crippling life. Things spiral out of control until one day Emma, exhausted and suffering from anxiety attacks, just can't take a step further along the same path any more and she is forced to seek help and admit that it's time to change things once and for all. Untie the Lines is another thrilling, funny and absorbing installment of Emma's life. It's also deeply moving and will ring true with anyone affected by the stresses and fast pace of modern life and the battle between head and heart.
Download or read book This Is My Life written by Errol Duke Strachan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-04-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is My Life: A Bahamian Rhapsody, by Errol "Duke" Strachan, encapsulates the intriguing story of one man, his family, his music, and his accomplishments woven together in the beautiful islands of The Bahamas from the 1930s onward. The memories outlined in this book will take readers to a time in early Bahamian history, in the life of a boy with a disability who grew up poor with a single mother and 12 siblings to overcome the odds of failure. These true life events create a picture of a time not so long ago for some, when deep in a colonial era, life, though not without its challenges, was lived with simplicity, creativity, and harmony. In this book, Errol "Duke" Strachan recalls when: The Bahamas' currency was still using the British system of pounds, shillings and pence, Travel throughout the islands by a motorless mailboat was a long but free journey Homes were lit with makeshift lanterns Houses were propped up above the ground with crawl spaces beneath, and made, in many cases, to be moveable Windows had no glass or screens and doors had no locks You trekked to the nearest government water pump, and Food was cooked on an open flame in the yard. Errol Strachan grew up in a time when children left school at the age of thirteen, with some even being married and starting their families. Duke as he became known during his singing and entertainment career, shares his journey from multiple job pursuits to finally landing in the heart of his passion-sharing music. From longing to sing on the Bahamian stage to singing with life-long friends and local greats like his cousin King Eric Gibson and many more. He did it in the prime of his life. Though no longer performing or traveling with his band, Duke Errol and the Lords, or recording his greatest hits, at 90, Duke is still actively involved in training a new generation of musicians. Duke has brushed shoulders and entertained Sidney Poitier, Nat King Cole, Isaac Hayes, Patrick Ewing, and more in his home during his taxi-driving days, and still continues today with his lovely bride of 67 years, Dorothea. As you will read in these pages, his life speaks of humility and service toward creating stronger communities that embrace love and laughter through music and kindness. This is My Life: A Bahamian Rhapsody is a story of true grit and tenacity. One that bellows to the faint in heart, not to give up, but to pursue honorable dreams for your life.
Download or read book Let Love Rule written by Lenny Kravitz and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “I see my story as a suite of songs that have a magical connection.” Let Love Rule is a work of deep reflection. Lenny Kravitz looks back at his life with candor, self-scrutiny, and humor. “My life is all about opposites,” he writes. “Black and white. Jewish and Christian. The Jackson 5 and Led Zeppelin. I accepted my Gemini soul. I owned it. I adored it. Yins and yangs mingled in various parts of my heart and mind, giving me balance and fueling my curiosity and comfort.” Let Love Rule covers a vast canvas stretching from Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant, Los Angeles’s Baldwin Hills and Beverly Hills, and finally to France, England, and Germany. It’s the story of a wildly creative kid who, despite tough struggles at school and extreme tension at home, finds salvation in music. We see him grow as a musician and ultimately become a master songwriter, producer, and performer. We also see Lenny’s spiritual growth—and the powerful way in which spirit informs his music. The cast of characters surrounding Lenny is extraordinary: his father, Sy, a high-powered news executive; his mother, Roxie Roker, a television star; and Lisa Bonet, the young actress who becomes his muse. The central character, of course, is Lenny, who, despite his great aspirational energy, turns down record deal after record deal until he finds his true voice. The creation of that voice, the same voice that is able to declare “Let Love Rule” to an international audience, is the very heart of this story. “Whether recording, performing, or writing a book,” says Lenny, “my art is about listening to the inspiration inside and then sharing it with people. Art must bring the world closer together.”
