Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buttermilk Bottom was a real place. It existed for many years in the shadows of Atlantas business district and was considered a festering eyesore. Many generations of black families lived there in almost total seclusion because of it geographic location, which was a sunken community riddled with poverty, crime, rodents, and economic depression that was legally imposed by the separate but unequal Jim Crow laws that devastated the lives of thousands of black families throughout the South. This is a fi ctionalized account of the people who lived in The Bottom and their lifestyle during the 50s and the early 60s. Buttermilk Bottom had a notorious reputation because of its delapadated wooden framed apartment houses, high crime rate, extreme poverty, and its isolation from the rest of the city. The reader will glimpse the living conditions, the mindset of the people, and the political atmosphere that devastated their lives on a daily bases. You will meet and be charmed by the handsome, dangerous ex-con Cameron Fielding, the local number writer. The smart and very attractive school principal, Grace, Camerons long-time sweetheart is helplessly trapped in her passion for Cameron despite the pressures of her peers and her professional life. You will be amused by the intelligent and funny storyteller, Cripple Jake. The forbidding Voodoo Priestess will makes you wonder, while her beautiful daughter, Jazmine, will captivate you. The popular and well-endowed Queenie, the madame and co-owner of the local juke joint is unforgetable, along with Lucille, who you will remember and laugh about for a lifetime. In Buttermilk Bottom soul food never tasted so good, the blues never sounded so low down, and the intimacy in love relationships of the characters will sizzle in your dreams long after you put this remarkable story down and re-read for years to come. Buttermilk Bottom is a pictorial in words and the storytelling is brilliant.

Download or read book Detour written by Lizzie Simon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-11-21 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finely wrought memoir of mental health, Detour takes a genre explored by Susanna Kaysen and Kay Redfield Jamison and propels it in a revelatory and rebellious new direction. Detour is the extraordinary first book by Lizzie Simon, a twenty-three-year-old woman with bipolar disorder. We meet her as she is set to abandon her successful career as a theatrical producer in New York City, with plans to hit the road and find other bipolars like herself -- young, ambitious, opinionated, and truth-seeking. Her goal: to speak with them candidly without judgment, fear, or the slightest trace of anything clinical or jargon-laden. She wants their stories in their words. But after falling in love with her first interviewee, a troubled millionaire, the truth and the path become increasingly difficult to find. She indeed finds inspiring bipolars. Marissa, a twenty-something African-American adoptee; Jan, a popular rock 'n' roll radio deejay and mother of two; Matt, a quiet college student from the South. Each is resilient, wise, healthy, and hopeful. Yet each harbors stories of mania and depression that defy the limits of human experience and survival. But if she's achieving what she set out to do, then why does she feel more alien and alone than ever? Part road trip, part love story, part mystery, Simon has created a heartbreaking narrative of her cross-country quest. With brave humor, Simon writes guilelessly about herself, her past, and her search for "a herd of her own." She explores that shifting gray area where illness and identity intersect and blur, with the eye of an insider and the heart and soul of a survivor. Accessible and unique, Detour not only opens an intimate window on the day-to-day condition of living with a mood disorder, it also speaks to our universally human struggle to become whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arch Thaumaturge had argued about answering a troll’s prayer. One renegade angel secretly saved an abandoned baby left to die. This human infant was enhanced with incredible abilities through a strange concoction mixed with angelic blood, and the child miraculously transformed into a green troll. The baby was taken to a barren troll in the troll kingdom. She made a covenant with the renegade angel to raise the infant as her own, and to help him become a great tracker. Having mastered his tracking skills, he became known for his ability to find the impossible. The people claimed him to be the greatest investigator in the kingdom. A powerful witch thought that by killing his parents, she would be able to stop him. But she was wrong. The renegade angel’s fellow Arch Thaumaturge Gatbam traveled to the future to persuade the mortal named Dr. Paul Coldchase—a relentless, strong-willed, very principled coroner—to travel to the dark ages. He assured him that his excellent medical skills would be appreciated, regardless of his race. Sometime later, he was murdered. This medical examiner was resurrected, and he changed his forename to Phantom. Dr. Phantom Coldchase teamed up with Trollpeo. Thus began the dynamic chronicles of the greatest detectives: Trollpeo Trolliceo Greenthumb, the Green Knight, and Dr. Phantom Coldchase, Medical Examiner.
