Book excerpt: READERS' FAVORITE 2019 GOLD MEDAL AWARD: Christian-General Category 3 GOLD MEDAL BOOK AWARDS from Nonfiction Authors Association: Received in Self-Help, Personal Triumph, and Religion Categories ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARD WINNER, 1ST RUNNER-UP, 2017: Nonfiction E-Book Category Have you ever awakened from a restless night of sleep and just couldn’t do it—you couldn’t wear that mask another day, acting as though everything were “okay.” Could anyone possibly understand what you were going through? Or are you on the other side of that coin? Times are tough, though you know people have survived worse. But how do others overcome staggering mountains and valleys? What we wouldn’t give to absorb their wisdom. Author Alicia M. Smith sought answers to the questions shared above, questions occupying real estate within the shadows of our minds. Her quest was to speak with said people. Those who understood the struggle and the loneliness—but who could also share their stepping stones toward higher ground. The moments shared by these individuals are humbling, to say the least: ~A life-altering car accident ~A woman’s quest to escape addiction and life under a bridge ~A nurtured passion, years of hard work and memories, stolen by Hurricane Katrina ~A late-night phone call, notifying a woman that the police may have found her husband’s body ~A vision bestowed on a man, moving him and others to walk away from safety and toward the unknown How do these anecdotes apply to you? Are there common denominators? Or are we all separated by our own circumstances and experiences? The lessons gleaned from these testimonies are invaluable—sparks of hope demanding to extinguish the shadows. “The essays themselves are tightly paced and engaging....Inspirational without being patronizing; a well-organized collection.” —Kirkus Reviews San Francisco Book Review: sanfranciscobookreview.com/product/common-stones/ Manhattan Book Review: manhattanbookreview.com/product/common-stones/
Download or read book Parable Hunter written by Ricardo Pau-Llosa and published by Carnegie-Mellon University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four movements of Parable Hunter explore the themes of need, instinct, fulfillment and transcendence--the cardinal points of the self. What the points share is parable-making--the ground of all reflection. The identification of new vantage points on the world--in works of art, looking out of plane windows, or enveloped in nature and weather--itself becomes a parable for reflecting on the imagination, that stage where phenomenology and animism coalesce.

Download or read book The Stone written by Darryl Hines and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He played deception like music, the way Miles played his horn. Every note moved her until she almost had no will of her own. Pregnant and alone, 26 year old Dahlia Reynolds recounts the events that led to her imprisonment in Thailand, an unlikely place for a Sista from Waycross, Georgia. Nervously awaiting the ultimate punishment, Dahlia realizes how far she is from Washington, DC, her best friends, Stacy and El, her job as a Pentagon analyst and from Antoine Blackwell, her occasional lover. This could be the end of a journey full of treachery and deceit launched by a mystery from her family's past and a quilt she inherited from a slave ancestor, all started with a chance encounter with a much older man. Mackenzie Powell stole Dahlia's heart and holds the key to a treasure that made her an unknowing pawn in a high stakes game of murder and intrigue that began deep inside a South African mine before she was born. Dahlia was swept away by the Bentley driving Mackenzie's classy good looks and debonair charm, but "Mac" has a secret and only The Stone has the power to unlock it and make sense of what appears to be a series of unrelated events. She wonders: Is Mac hero or villain?

Download or read book Look at Me written by Jennifer Egan and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2009-12-23 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • In this ambitiously multilayered novel from the bestselling, award-winning author of A Visit from the Goon Squad, a fashion model named Charlotte Swenson emerges from a car accident in her Illinois hometown with her face so badly shattered that it takes eighty titanium screws to reassemble it. She returns to New York still beautiful but oddly unrecognizable, a virtual stranger in the world she once effortlessly occupied. With the surreal authority of a David Lynch, Jennifer Egan threads Charlotte’s narrative with those of other casualties of our infatuation with the image. There’s a deceptively plain teenaged girl embarking on a dangerous secret life, an alcoholic private eye, and an enigmatic stranger who changes names and accents as he prepares an apocalyptic blow against American society. As these narratives inexorably converge, Look at Me becomes a coolly mesmerizing intellectual thriller of identity and imposture.

Stone Mattress is a collection of unforgettable tales that reveal the grotesque, delightfully wicked facets of humanity.
Download or read book Testimony written by Robbie Robertson and published by Crown Archetype. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller • On the 40th anniversary of The Band’s legendary The Last Waltz concert, Robbie Robertson finally tells his own spellbinding story of the band that changed music history, his extraordinary personal journey, and his creative friendships with some of the greatest artists of the last half-century. Robbie Robertson's singular contributions to popular music have made him one of the most beloved songwriters and guitarists of his time. With songs like "The Weight," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," and "Up on Cripple Creek," he and his partners in The Band fashioned a music that has endured for decades, influencing countless musicians. In this captivating memoir, written over five years of reflection, Robbie Robertson employs his unique storyteller’s voice to weave together the journey that led him to some of the most pivotal events in music history. He recounts the adventures of his half-Jewish, half-Mohawk upbringing on the Six Nations Indian Reserve and on the gritty streets of Toronto; his odyssey at sixteen to the Mississippi Delta, the fountainhead of American music; the wild early years on the road with rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins and The Hawks; his unexpected ties to the Cosa Nostra underworld; the gripping trial-by-fire “going electric” with Bob Dylan on his 1966 world tour, and their ensuing celebrated collaborations; the formation of the Band and the forging of their unique sound, culminating with history's most famous farewell concert, brought to life for all time in Martin Scorsese's great movie The Last Waltz. This is the story of a time and place--the moment when rock 'n' roll became life, when legends like Buddy Holly and Bo Diddley criss-crossed the circuit of clubs and roadhouses from Texas to Toronto, when The Beatles, Hendrix, The Stones, and Warhol moved through the same streets and hotel rooms. It's the story of exciting change as the world tumbled through the '60s and early 70’s, and a generation came of age, built on music, love and freedom. Above all, it's the moving story of the profound friendship between five young men who together created a new kind of popular music. Testimony is Robbie Robertson’s story, lyrical and true, as only he could tell it.
