Download or read book Crawling Across Broken Glass written by Lisa Shipley and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years after the Equal Pay Act of 1963, women still face gender discrimination. Even though the "glass ceiling" has finally been broken for many women, stories of discrimination are still plentiful. Only 6 percent of those filing employment discrimination lawsuits in federal court ever go to trial and of those that do go to trial, a mere one in three has any chance of winning. That is what makes Lisa Shipley's story amazing: Lisa took a stand, fought back-and won. Lisa Shipley was her organization's top performer, an industry star, and well respected by colleagues. She had always been treated fairly and equitably, and loved her work. All of that took a turn when her organization's new CEO proceeded to belittle Lisa in front of her peers, deliberately exclude her from meetings and events that were crucial to her job performance, and denied her compensation she had earned. Pushed to her limits, Lisa sued her employer for gender discrimination. A jury of her peers found the company and its CEO guilty on all 10 charges in the lawsuit. Lisa's story is an authentic account of what happened when David took on Goliath, complete with the unexpected twists and turns you would only expect to find in a legal thriller-except that this really happened.

Book excerpt: A boy on a quest against the power of the storm Eleven-year-old Danny's parents are storm chasers - which sounds fun and exciting, and it is, so long as you aren't the son who has to wait behind at home. And one night, after a particularly fierce storm, Danny's parents don't come back. Stranger still, the old sycamore tree in Danny's yard seems to have been struck by lightning, and when he picks up a fragment of wood from the tree's heart, he finds he can hear voices ... including that of next door's rather uppity cat, Mitzy. The stick is a taro, a shard of lightning that bestows upon its bearer unnerving powers, including the ability to talk with plants and animals - and it is very valuable. So valuable, in fact, that it attracts the attention of a Sammael, an ancient figure of darkness and a buyer of souls. And he will do anything to get his hands on it ... And so begins a dangerous and daring quest. Danny, who is bewildered, alone and unaccustomed to acts of bravery, must confront his fears, find his parents and unravel the secrets of The Book of Storms ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I once believed like you, that I was an objective observer of the world around me. Then at age 22, I was arrested and bound for prison. Suddenly, I had a mental shift which felt like an invasion of my mind by an unknown entity and it had me running for my life under a hail of bullets. In the terrifying process I did not just escape the police, the city and state I was arrested in, but I escaped reality as I knew it, running past buildings that were sky high, and flat without definition—people were taller, cars longer and the street I was running on narrowed all the way to the horizon like a surreal painting. In this psychedelic state, everything appeared to move shower, allowing me to dodge gunfire and miraculously escape the police. When the hallucination ended I was in a different City. Without money, personal I.D. or a place to sleep, I was forced to live in a different reality, one which included an unseen power that meddled in my life.” WARNING: Jack’s memoirs include miracles ,mayhem, love and murder.
