Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unadulterated look inside the lives of those hardest hit by the Great Recession, Steve Passey shows with great clarity that when all else fails, it’s our relationships that keep us afloat, even if we’re drifting to nowhere. Narrators shaped by the generation decaying around them proclaim an era where the Business of Bad News is the norm, and the only escape is trying to find solace in the familiarity of everyday life. Relatable in their unique contentment with the bottom of the barrel, these characters form the most intimate bonds through conversations held in the marginal spaces of the American Dream.
Download or read book Six Against the Rock written by Clark Howard and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Award Finalist: The story of the infamous escape attempt and bloody siege at Alcatraz. In 1946, six men attempted to break out of Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, a maximum-security prison on an island off the coast of San Francisco. Their bloody siege lasted two days, and ended with five dead and fifteen wounded—plus two of the perpetrators executed for their role in the endeavor. In Six Against the Rock—the basis for a TV movie—an award-winning crime writer tells the story of this notorious event and the inmates who were involved, supplemented with vivid dramatic recreations that place the reader in the center of the conflict. “The personal clash between Coy and Cretzer over leadership of the desperate little band provides much of the suspense; Alcatraz itself, that logistical marvel of a fortress, provides the rest. And for a backdrop there are two platoons of Marines firing bazookas as well as something of the grim history of that most forbidding prison.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Ash kept silent and looked away. Realizing I might have spoilt the moment, my heart sank. I was sure he would walk away…again. “Ash…” “No,” he said between his teeth. “No…” “We don’t “see” each other anymore,” he finally admitted. “Well...” I was speechless, but my heart was beating fast. I felt a sudden wave of happiness rise up through my body, which gave me the courage to appease my curiosity. “Is it because of me?” That question was burning my lips. The need to know the truth was tearing me up inside, and each second before he spoke felt like an eternity. “Ash,” I whispered as I put a hand on his knee. “Maybe,” he admitted reluctantly. His confession filled my heart with joy, and I could hardly breathe. “Stay with me tonight,” I whispered. My words sounded like a prayer, and I felt tears building in my eyes. I was lost, sick of that emotional roller-coaster I was going through, and what for? I needed to put an end to it. I could sense he would turn me down, but his quivering lip gave me hope for an instant. He frowned while his hand touched mine. The contact of his warm hand didn’t soften the blow. “No, Joe. It wouldn’t be right.” My heart sank. “Since when do you do the right thing, Trevor Laurens?” He looked at me silently. I wanted so badly to be in his arms; I could almost feel them around me. “Since I’ve decided not to hurt you anymore.” I was speechless! A few seconds before, my hopes were up, but that fleeting moment of pure happiness was about to vanish into the air. “Ash…” I whispered again. He had already reached my bedroom door, so he turned around and faced me. “For all that’s worth, I missed you too, mini-doc.” He smiled at me softly, which tore my heart apart. Tears stung my eyes as I watched him walk through the door. A few seconds later, I heard the front door, and I let them run down my cheeks. Ash had turned my life upside down one more time. That night, I dreamt of a vessel floating on the ocean."

He wants to know about a nymphomaniac, a man who lives under a bridge, a girl with a cracked face. He wants to uncover their histories because he has secrets of his own. He believes, as people do, that he is able to change. He believes, as the whole world does, that there is plenty of time to solve his problems. But Samuel Clark and the rest of the world are wrong.
