Book excerpt: Winfred Rembert grew up in the 1950s in rural Georgia as the child of sharecroppers whose lives were little better than slavery. As a young man, he was nearly lynched, and served seven years in jail and on a chain gang. Yet he constantly found ways to create, to invent, to uplift. As a child, he made toys from pieces of junk at the town dump. In prison, he watched a leather worker and learned to carve and paint the leather himself. Now, in his own voice and through his powerful paintings, he shares with a new generation of young people his story and his passionate commitment to self-improvement. Reminiscent of the work of Jacob Lawrence and Horace Pippin, the paintings? rich, deep colors and poignant details powerfully narrate a story of personal courage and exceptional talent. At the same time, Rembert shows how the civil rights movement was not just a matter of famous speechs and marches, but was a product of the bonds of the black community and the unbreakable spirit of individuals

Download or read book Can t Hold Me Back written by Atul 'dj' Sardana and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-23 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can't keep the brown down . . . Atul "DJ" Sardana lives by two codes: "Ride or Die," meaning he will stand by family, friends, colleagues, and coworkers through thick or thin. The other is "Can't Keep Me Down," which is handy when your day job is all about sales in the super-competitive auto industry. How he got to be one of the industry's top sales performers is what this book is all about. A first-generation Indian American, DJ understood early on that life was going to be tough. He confronted bigotry and bullying in school; learned the meaning of hard work in his father's grocery store; discovered his sales and entrepreneurial style as a deejay; felt the joy of marrying his high school sweetheart; fought to reconcile his parents' ethnic family values (including arranged marriage) with that of America's more diverse, dynamic, and dazzling culture; and endured the head-spinning heartache when he lost jobs, despite being recognized as one of the car industry's top salesmen.His secret to success is in his codes, belief in himself, and his love for life. Can't Hold Me Back is the story of DJ's extraordinary journey. And in an ever-changing and sometimes irrational industry (and world), DJ offers all of us just the right tonic of inspiration and guidance. "DJ is an accomplished sales leader. He brings an upbeat, confident, and professional style to everything he tackles." -Steve Stauning, author of The 30,000-Pound Gorilla in the Room and Ridiculously Simple Sales Management; Founder, Stauning Solutions Group "DJ's determination and unrelenting efforts have created deals and landed sales when others would have long since given up." -Rob Stoesser, Vice President, OEM Relations "DJ's story is inspiring and relatable to all who have battled adversity to find success. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking to up their game."-Joel Lalgee, Founder, Headhunter Mediawww.cantholdmeback.com

Book excerpt: I was born into luxury and used to getting what I wanted. What I desired most, with my life in disarray, was the man who sat across from me. He was tall, dark and handsome, but, most notably, forbidden. It made every accidental touch more sinful and every session more addictive. There was so much tragedy and he was supposed to fix me. I shouldn’t have wondered how it would feel to be trapped under his broad shoulders. I shouldn’t have focused on the way he licked his bottom lip every time his gaze dropped from mine and roamed my curves. I shouldn’t have dreamed about him breaking the rules to comfort me the way I desperately needed. I did though, and I was the first one to break. He was my protector and my confidant and then he became my lover. I teased him, tempted the two of us and now there’s no way to take it back. With everything I've been through, I didn’t expect to fall for him. There’s only so much heartache I can take. This is book 2 in the Love The Way You series. Book 1, Kiss Me, must be read first.

Download or read book American Rapture written by CJ Leede and published by Bonnier Books UK. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From CJ Leede, the author of Maeve Fly and a new voice in the feminist horror space, comes a scorching new apocalyptic novel. Blessed are the meek, Sophie was taught; blessed are the pure of heart. Blessed is the good Catholic girl who honours her father and mother, who renounces the sins of pride, greed, wrath, gluttony, envy, and sloth, for she will inherit the earth. But nothing in her strict religious upbring could have prepared Sophie for the arrival of the scorching winds that sweep through the Midwest - not the righteous breath of God, but an evil gust that delivers an ungodly, fevered lust unto the virtuous and the wicked alike. Separated from her family in the chaos of the apocalypse, Sophie is overcome by an unfamiliar fire from within, a steady pulse from somewhere beneath her belly that draws her toward the boys her mother warned her against: their eyes, their lips, their hands, their skin. The hellscape around her is foreign and strange, but so is the frantic desire that blooms in Sophie, tempting her away from the light. Though her own body has become a carnal battleground, she must somehow find her way through the ravaged world to rescue her brother, hoping the fever hasn't taken him; hoping he can still be saved. 'Keep an eye on this rising feminist voice' Tori Amos

Download or read book One Flew Over the Cuckoo s Nest written by Ken Kesey and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-01-19 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ken Kesey's bracing, inslightful novel about the meaning of madness and the value of self-reliance, and the inspiration for the new Netflix original series Ratched One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Turning conventional notions of sanity and insanity on their heads, the novel tells the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her. We see the story through the eyes of Chief Bromden, the seemingly mute half-Indian patient who witnesses and understands McMurphy's heroic attempt to do battle with the powers that keep them all imprisoned. Hailed upon its publication as "a glittering parable of good and evil" (The New York Times Book Review) and "a roar of protest against middlebrow society's Rules and the invisible Rulers who enforce them" (Time), Kesey's powerful book went on to sell millions of copies and remains as bracing and insightful today as when it was first released. This new deluxe hardcover edition commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the original publication of the novel on February 1, 1962, and will be a must have for any literature lover.

Her death made me feel so helpless. I was at the mercy of the unknown. This cancer-eating pain in my heart was destroying me. She was not of earth anymore, so now I began to desperately search all of creation to find her. I could not rest until I had answers. Did I really need to find God? Do angels really come and assist us? Do miracles really happen? Do dreams really take you into another dimension? Was Laura trying to reach out to me beyond the boundaries of death? I was bewildered to see the hustle and bustle of the world survived the death of my daughter. Why did she have to die? Was she alive in another dimension, or was she just dead? A child cannot die and expect a mother to live. Then I attended an apparition of Blessed Mother which changed my life. Through this conversion of faith that I attained, I found answers, and the pieces of the puzzle started to fit together.
