Download or read book In the Hills Above the Gristmill written by Kalvin Ellis and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paisley Mott struggles with anxiety. Her particular blend of anxiety causes her to go into a hyper-focused state, which can lead to more anxiety. After the tragic death of her mother, she began to see her anxiety-induced hyper-focus as a strength. Now, she's a paranormal investigator with an up and coming web series that is propelling her into becoming an expert in her field. Hollis Grimm is a charismatic preacher from the small Appalachian mining town of Grey Water Ridge. When he contacts Paisley to help shine some light on the mysterious mutilation of seven women in the woods outside of town, she is on the first flight out. It wasn't the murders that drew her to the South or the charming preacher, but the claim that the locals believe God has sent a creature to punish the town for its sins. And that this isn't the first time. The preacher, an outsider turned sheriff, an heiress and internet celebrity, a man obsessed with the past, an old-timer with an ax to grind, an obsessed fan, and a growing number of bodies stand between Paisley and the truth. After digging into the dark secrets of the town's history she must decide what is more dangerous, the monster in the woods, or the people who believe in him. If she isn't careful, she will not be leaving Grey Water Ridge with the story, let alone her life.

Download or read book North Country written by Jon K. Lauck and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2023-05-04 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel north from the upper Midwest’s metropolises, and before long you’re “Up North”—a region that’s hard to define but unmistakable to any resident or tourist. Crops give way to forests, mines (or their remains) mark the landscape, and lakes multiply, becoming ever clearer until you reach the vastness of the Great Lakes. How to characterize this region, as distinct from the agrarian Midwest, is the question North Country seeks to answer, as a congenial group of scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals explores the distinctive landscape, culture, and history that define the northern margins of the American Midwest. From the glacial past to the present day, these essays range across the histories of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, colonial imperial rivalries and immigration, and conflicts between the economic imperatives of resource extraction and the stewardship of nature. The book also considers literary treatments of the area—and arguably makes its own contributions to that literature, as some of the authors search for the North Country through personal essays, while others highlight individuals who are identified with the area, like Sigurd Olson, John Barlow Martin, and Russell Kirk. From the fur trade to tourism, fisheries to supper clubs, Finnish settlers to Native treaty rights, the nature of the North Country emerges here in all its variety and particularity: as clearly distinct from the greater Midwest as it is part of the American heartland.

Download or read book The Wrong Path written by Phil R. Bryson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It started in 1965 when I decided to join the navy, but at first I wanted to join the merchant navy but ended up in the royal navy. My reason was to see the world, after all in those days hardly anyone travelled, so to me it seemed a good way to travel. What I hadn't considered was the regimentation, people telling me how to walk, when to get my hair cut. It all started to fall apart when I went to Portland as an aircraft mechanic, it just seemed so boring. When I did go to sea, we never stopped anywhere, but I ended up on an aircraft carrier as part of the search and rescue team. I decided to sort things out for myself and so when the aircraft carrier returned from the States I went on leave and then deserted and went to Sweden. Initially my objective was to try and obtain political asylum but I ended up hitching and working in Europe. I knew then that I'd made a mistake as I should've just travelled, but I returned to England, was caught and ended up in naval prison. This is far from being a gung ho story about life in the navy, but it is different and hopefully it might make you smile.

Download or read book Women in Jamaican Music written by Heather Augustyn and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the ubiquitous Jamaican musician Bob Marley once famously sang, "half the story has never been told." This rings particularly true for the little-known women in Jamaican music who comprise significantly less than half of the Caribbean nation's musical landscape. This book covers the female contribution to Jamaican music and its subgenres through dozens of interviews with vocalists, instrumentalists, bandleaders, producers, deejays and supporters of the arts. Relegated to marginalized spaces, these pioneering women fought for their claim to the spotlight amid oppressive conditions to help create and shape Jamaica's musical heritage.
Download or read book Simon Says written by Peggy Chrusciaki and published by Peggy Chrusciaki. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I pray that what I'm about to do will be a blessing. I do believe what God has given me and spoken to me, is for the church. I would like to emphasis I have never read any book paraphrased of Revelation. I have read many well-known authors, Matthew Henry, Clarence Larkin's, and others. But, God has given it to me in a paraphrase form, so that I can be a blessing to others. Revelation Revealed will help you understand the prophetic message and symbolic images. Pastor Laramore through the power of the Holy Spirit reveals and gives you the spiritual meaning of the seven bowls of the wrath of God, seven signs before the final judgment, seven seals of the scroll, the coming of the Kings of Kings, etc. Revelation Revealed is a bible-teaching tool.
