Book excerpt: “One sensational read! Wow, this one just completely blew me away. If you are looking for a brand new series to sink your teeth into, then look no further. A must read!” Once Upon A Time Book Blog, 5 stars Madison walked through the fallen snow, looking left and right. It had been Kaylee’s idea to use the trail through the forest; she said no one would follow them. But Madison lost sight of Kaylee for a moment and when she found her again she wasn’t alone… In the remote forests of Stillwater, Minnesota, you can scream for days and no one will hear you. So when the bodies of two fifteen-year-old girls are discovered frozen in the snow, Special Agent Nikki Hunt is sure the killer is local: someone knew where to hide the girls and thought they would never be found. Though Nikki hasn’t been home in twenty years, she knows she must take over the case. The Sheriff’s department in Stillwater has already made a mistake by connecting the girls’ murders to those of a famous serial killer, refusing to consider the idea that the killer could be someone from town. Then another girl’s body is found, a red silk ribbon tied in her hair, and Nikki realizes that the killer has a connection to her own dark past, and the reason she left Stillwater. Nikki is not the only person in town who wants those secrets to stay hidden. Will she be able to face her demons before another child is taken? Gripping and spine-chilling, The Girls in the Snow will make you gasp, unable to put it down until the final heart-pounding twist. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner and Robert Dugoni.

Download or read book The Ockley Green Girls written by Lois Gaither Hallock and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FIVE FUNNY WOMEN - PORTLAND OREGON - THEN AND NOW. . . In 1936 five kindergarteners walked into Ockley Green Grade School - and into each other's lives. Graduation from Jefferson High in 1948 sent them their separate ways until they met again at the 50th class reunion -- and every year thereafter for a week at the beach. "Shortly after that first week at the beach, we took to calling ourselves 'The Yayas' due to a book which hit the bestseller list about that time and later became a movie. We, of course, are the real Yayas and they are obviously fakes - a bunch of southern women with too much time on their hands who drink mint juleps and throw their underwear off tall buildings. We ourselves would never do such a thing but is no doubt the reason Hollywood producers aren't knocking down our door." Lois, the author, well knows she is the bad apple in the bunch. Says so herself. "Well, that's just how it is with me. A person who often sees things other people pay no attention to. A person who often sees things differently than others. And lets it bother her. Like the horses at Petra. Like Sissy Austin's birthday party. Like the way I react to Joan. Like the way I'm wondering why this last reunion is different from our other reunions, and why I'm having a hard time about it." "Joan, by all accounts, mine included, is a wonderful mother and grandmother. She knows how to fold fitted sheets and butters the bread out to the edges. Joan never comes to a Yaya function without a little gift for each of us. The other four of us never bring one damn thing. Wherein lies part of the problem I have with Joan." "Beverly is definitely our Leader. She was the Queen Bee when we were little and still is. Of course, she is the oldest in our group but it goes beyond that. Bev has an ability that somehow ends up with her calling the shots and getting things her way." "Doris' state of mind is a red flag flying. Last winter she failed to appear for our Christmas lunch, having gotten confused and lost. This spring at our reunion-planning meeting she didn't show again, having gotten her dates mixed up, so she said. She has moved into assisted living and uses a walker now." "Elaine's been breathing the rarified air of academia for so many years that it takes her awhile after landing at PDX to get her bearings. Sometimes we have to help her. We beat her up and remind her that she is a North Portland girl, same as us." ABOUT THE AUTHOR After 48 nomadic corporate years in Seattle, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and New York City, Lois Gaither Nelson Hallock returned to her roots, settling along the Columbia River with her second/other husband, Robert. "If you come looking for me," she says, "start with a body of water."

Download or read book The Girl in the Green Sweater written by Krystyna Chiger and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the true story explored in the Academy Award–nominated film, In Darkness, this holocaust memoir is “a gripping account of survival and friendship” (Booklist). In 1943, with Lvov’s 150,000 Jews having been exiled, killed, or forced into ghettos and facing extermination, a group of Polish Jews daringly sought refuge in the city’s sewer system. The last surviving member this group, Krystyna Chiger, shares one of the most intimate, harrowing and ultimately triumphant tales of survival to emerge from the Holocaust. The Girl in the Green Sweater is Chiger’s heartwrenching first-person account of the fourteen months she spent with her family in the fetid, underground sewers of Lvov. The Girl in the Green Sweater is also the story of Leopold Socha, the group’s unlikely savior. A Polish Catholic and former thief, Socha risked his life to help Chiger’s underground family survive, bringing them food, medicine, and supplies. A moving memoir of a desperate escape and life under unimaginable circumstances, The Girl in the Green Sweater is ultimately a tale of intimate survival, friendship, and redemption. “With a powerful story and a keen voice, Chiger’s Holocaust survivor’s tale is a worthy and memorable addition to the canon.” —Publishers Weekly “Chiger’s exceptional story . . . stands out among the many Holocaust survival narratives as one that will touch the hearts of teens and adults alike and bring home the horrors of this very dark period in history.” —School Library Journal “Through the eyes of the child that Krystyna Chiger was in Lvov, Poland in 1939 we see the whole moral universe.” —Naomi Ragen, author of The Saturday Wife and The Covenant “[A] gripping memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Big Fit Girl written by Louise Green and published by Greystone Books Ltd. This book was released on 2017-03-18 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Finally—a fitness book for the rest of us! . . . [Big Fit Girl] is sure to usher in a new generation of tough, curvy athletes.” —Jessamyn Stanley, author of Every Body Yoga In Big Fit Girl, Louise Green describes how the fitness industry fails to meet the needs of plus-size women and thus prevents them from improving their health and fitness. By telling her own story of how she stopped dieting, got off the couch, and unleashed her inner athlete—as well as showcasing similar stories from other women—Green inspires other plus-size women to do the same. Green also provides concrete advice, based on the latest research, about how to get started, how to establish a support team, how to choose an activity, what kind of clothing and gear work best for the plus-size athlete, how to set goals, and how to improve one’s relationship with food. And she stresses the importance of paying it forward—for it is only by seeing plus-size women in leadership roles that other plus-size women will be motivated to stop trying to lose weight and get fit instead. “Big Fit Girl impressed me tremendously. Green combines compelling storytelling with practical tips—true to what we know about science—in a unique way that will get you moving.” —Linda Bacon, PhD, scientist, and author of Health at Every Size “Inspiring and empowering.” —Taryn Brumfitt, producer and director, founder of the Body Image Movement “I’m thrilled to live in a world where Big Fit Girl will be part of the health section. Thank you Louise—it’s time for every person of every size to have access to this information!” —Jes Baker, The Militant Baker
Download or read book The Intersectional Environmentalist written by Leah Thomas and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 2022 TIME100 Next honoree and the activist who coined the term comes a primer on intersectional environmentalism for the next generation of activists looking to create meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable change. The Intersectional Environmentalist examines the inextricable link between environmentalism, racism, and privilege, and promotes awareness of the fundamental truth that we cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people -- especially those most often unheard. Written by Leah Thomas, a prominent voice in the field and the activist who coined the term "Intersectional Environmentalism," this book is simultaneously a call to action, a guide to instigating change for all, and a pledge to work towards the empowerment of all people and the betterment of the planet. Thomas shows how not only are Black, Indigenous and people of color unequally and unfairly impacted by environmental injustices, but she argues that the fight for the planet lies in tandem to the fight for civil rights; and in fact, that one cannot exist without the other. An essential read, this book addresses the most pressing issues that the people and our planet face, examines and dismantles privilege, and looks to the future as the voice of a movement that will define a generation.
