Book excerpt: "I compare this book to Mary McCarthy's The Group, and feel it has every chance to be a mini-series or as a big screen blockbuster. It's also perhaps the finest description of addiction and its effects on lovers, family, and friends in contemporary American fiction....use that quote in any manner you wish. - John Frederick, Documentary Producer, California This book is incredible. I read it twice! First, very fast. The second time I couldn't believe that you can be so uplifting - almost like Dr. Wayne Dyer - not only great with your quotes but your fiction is alive all the time. It reminded me of my own life story - my first marriage and surviving with two smart handsome boys in a tough city like New York. - Eva Pollack, Physical Therapist, New York I wanted to tell you that I read the first five chapters of your book and I couldn't stop reading though I am in the midst of moving. Though I spent many years in NYC City, it was at a later period. I am European. Yet, I loved the very human qualities of this dysfunctional family, the Brooklyn touches and certainly the Yiddish terms. I used to hear those from all my Jewish friends. It is all sooo New York. I'm looking forward to reading the rest! - Annouk Van de Voorde, Belgian writer who grew up in Africa and now lives in Arizona"

Download or read book A Decade of Hope written by Dennis Smith and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the tenth anniversary of 9/11, a portrait of tragedy, survival, and healing from the author of The New York Times bestseller Report from Ground Zero. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, an occasion that is sure to be observed around the world. But among the memorials, political speeches, and news editorials, the most pressing consideration- and often the most overlooked-is the lives and well-being of the 9/11 first responders, their families, and the victims' families over the past decade. Dennis Smith, a former firefighter and the author of the bestselling Report from Ground Zero, addresses this important topic in a series of interviews with the heroes and families of those most affected by the tragedy either through feats of bravery in the rescue efforts or heroic bearing up in the face of unimaginable loss. Smith provides an intimate look at a terrible moment in history and its challenging and difficult aftermath, allowing these survivors to share their stories of loss, endurance, and resilience in their own words. A Decade of Hope is an honest and vitally important look at a decade in the lives of those for whom a national tragedy was a devastatingly personal ordeal.

Download or read book The Ringalievio Tree written by Bill Reynolds and published by PublishAmerica. This book was released on 2004-09-20 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy Ridley’s story provides some insight into what it was like to come of age during the war years – when Roosevelt was in the White House, when brothers were off fighting in Europe and on the islands of the Pacific. Among the branches of an old maple tree, a young boy finds comfort in the sounds and voices unheard in the world below. A framed cross-stitch on the wall of Grandpa’s upstairs room warns: “Beware the Werewolf and the Heart’s Desire,” a theme played out with varying degrees of failure by the contentious members of three generations of a dysfunctional family. We meet those who nurture Billy’s growing: a kindly aunt who harbors a secret buried in her past; a young man who says he was adopted -- a present from Santa Claus -- who provides a friendship and a trust Billy does not find elsewhere. Charlie, a neighbor, a year older, advances Billy’s awareness of his sexuality, and Rose, a fellow thespian, confronts him with his first true test of manhood. A coming of age that climaxes amid the headlines of World War II.

Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller From the first FDNY chief to respond to the 9/11 attacks, an intimate memoir and a tribute to those who died that others might live When Chief Joe Pfeifer led his firefighters to investigate an odor of gas in downtown Manhattan on the morning of 9/11, he had no idea that his life was about to change forever. A few moments later, he watched as the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center. Pfeifer, the closest FDNY chief to the scene, spearheaded rescue efforts on one of the darkest days in American history. Ordinary Heroes is the unforgettable and intimate account of what Chief Pfeifer witnessed at Ground Zero, on that day and the days that followed. Through his eyes, we see the horror of the attack and the courage of the firefighters who ran into the burning towers to save others. We see him send his own brother up the stairs of the North Tower, never to return. And we walk with him and his fellow firefighters through weeks of rescue efforts and months of numbing grief, as they wrestle with the real meaning of heroism and leadership. This gripping narrative gives way to resiliency and a determination that permanently reshapes Pfeifer, his fellow firefighters, NYC, and America. Ordinary Heroes takes us on a journey that turns traumatic memories into hope, so we can make good on our promise to never forget 9/11.
