Book excerpt: Max Walker è Golden Boy. Bello, intelligente, campione nello sport, amico perfetto, figlio perfetto, il rubacuori della scuola. È perfino affettuoso e adorabile con suo fratello. Karen, la madre di Max, è un avvocato di grido, determinata a mantenere la facciata di naturale eccellenza che ha costruito in anni e anni. Ma ora che i suoi figli stanno diventando grandi e che lei sta perdendo il controllo su di loro, inizia a temere che quella facciata possa sgretolarsi. Ad aumentare la tensione, suo marito Steve ha deciso di candidarsi alle elezioni e i riflettori di tutti i media nazionali sono puntati sulla loro casa. I Walker hanno un segreto da nascondere. Max è speciale. Max è differente. Max è "intersex". E quando un enigmatico amico d'infanzia ricompare per metterlo di fronte alla sua difficile identità, Max è costretto a guardare in faccia il suo ben protetto segreto. Perché i genitori non ne parlano? Cosa gli stanno in realtà nascondendo? Più si sforza di capire, e più Max si sente perso in un oceano di nuove domande, soprattutto ora che per la prima volta si è innamorato. Riusciranno i genitori, gli amici, la bella fidanzata ad accettarlo se lui non sarà più Golden Boy? Continueranno ad amarlo anche quando conosceranno la verità? Una è la domanda decisiva, la questione alla quale deve assolutamente trovare una risposta: chi è in realtà Max Walker? Abigail Tarttelin è nata a Grimsby nel 1987.

Download or read book Golden Boy written by Martin Booth and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At seven years old, Martin Booth found himself with all of Hong Kong at his feet. His father was posted there in 1952, and this memoir is his telling of that youth, a time when he had access to the corners of a colony normally closed to a "Gweilo," a "pale fellow" like him. His experiences were colorful and vast. Befriending rickshaw coolies and local stallholders, he learned Cantonese, sampled delicacies such as boiled water beetles and one-hundred-year-old eggs, and participated in vibrant festivals. He even entered the forbidden Kowloon Walled City, wandered into a secret lair of Triads, and visited an opium den. From the plink-plonk man with his dancing monkey to the Queen of Kowloon (a crazed tramp who may have been a Romanov), Martin Booth saw it all---but his memoir illustrates the deeper challenges he faced in his warring parents: a broad-minded mother who embraced all things Chinese and a bigoted father who was enraged by his family's interest in "going native." Martin Booth's compelling memoir, the last book he completed before dying, glows with infectious curiosity and humor and is an intimate representation of the now extinct time and place of his growing up.

Download or read book The Golden Boy written by Grant Matheson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before opioids destroyed Grant Matheson's career, he was a pillar of his community. Respected physician, loving husband, devoted father, and trusted friend. Grant was a straight-laced kid who grew up to be a clean-living adult. No drinking, no smoking, and certainly no drugs. It took everyone by surprise, most of all himself, when he became addicted to narcotics in his 30s. His story hit local press when he was found guilty of professional misconduct related to his addiction, including over-prescribing painkillers to patients so he could buy them back--an infraction that caused his physician license to be suspended. Matheson's memoir is a gritty account of his narcotic addiction and all that it cost him: various relationships, his career, and almost his life. The Golden Boy takes the reader from the very first day of Matheson's drug addiction to that moment when he decided to rebuild his life through rehab and recovery.
