Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A boy running from the past. A girl who can’t escape it. Dev Landry has a mundane life; runner-up on the track team, a nerdy best friend, and a job at his overbearing parents’ failing motel. He’s also in love with his former best friend, Hadlee Renee Morgan; the girl that never speaks, unless it's through her dark, disturbing, and taboo photography. He’s loved her since the day he kissed her at the clearing in the woods three years ago, and then woke up from a coma with scars and no memory of what happened after. Now plagued by blackouts, migraines, and sleepwalking in the woods, his only solace is running, to keep the darkness at bay. Dev’s life turns upside down when Hadlee shows up seeking refuge, promising answers about that day in the woods, the lies that entrap him, and why she stopped being his friend. As Dev and Hadlee embark on their journey to rediscover the truth and each other, Dev realizes some secrets refuse to stay buried, and the cost of the truth may not be worth what he loses to find it. Keep You is a dark, upper-YA coming-of-age mystery sprinkled with romance, quirky humor, and suspense uncovering the lies we tell, the secrets we keep, and the truths we hide.

Download or read book No Holding Back written by Michael Holding and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2010-05-20 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The autobiography of West Indies fast-bowling legend turned Sky pundit, Michael Holding, author of the award-winning Why We Kneel, How We Rise As one of the fastest bowlers the world has seen, Michael Holding went by the haunting nickname 'Whispering Death', claiming 249 Test wickets. Despite having not laced his bowling boots since 1989, it remains a fitting sobriquet. As a commentator and administrator, Holding has delivered his views on cricket in the same manner that he played the game: he speaks softly with a rich Jamaican rhythm and is calculated in either criticism or compliment. NO HOLDING BACK charts his effortless transition from one of the great players to one of the great pundits. Holding graphically describes his days as a player, looking back at how he tried to deliberately hurt batsmen on the wastelands of Kingston, and his first match for Jamaica when he almost collapsed from exhaustion - after only four overs! There is time, too, to divulge what it was like to tour with the West Indies, and unmissable insights about sharing a dressing room with other legends of the game like Clive Lloyd, Sir Viv Richards and Malcolm Marshall. Holding does not shirk the big issues, as he discusses how the West Indies have slipped following their halcyon days, openly assesses Brian Lara and laments the hypocrisy over the state of the game in the region. The controversy surrounding the Allen Stanford $20m spectacle, the ICC's handling of the abandoned England v Pakistan match, player power, illegal bowling actions and the threat of Twenty20 to the Test game are all subjects which Holding tackles with characteristic knowledge and class.

Book excerpt: She never thought she’d choose a bear over a man in the woods... Hadlee Wilson thinks she knows her boyfriend, Chad, but when he takes her on a hike in Colorado, she expects him to propose, not to attack her. Turns out, the happy ending she’s been hoping for is, in reality, more of a dark fairy tale. Bruised and battered, she flees into the woods, and Chad follows her, hunting her like prey. When she trips and falls into a stream right in front of a grizzly bear, she thinks at least the bear won’t draw her death out. But to Hadlee’s shock, the bear lunges past her and kills Chad. As Hadlee starts to lose consciousness, she glimpses the figure of a bear returning to her, to finish her off no doubt ... only as her vision tunnels to black, the last thing she sees is the bear turning into a man ... a gorgeous, scarred, grim-faced man. When Hadlee wakes, she learns the truth. She wasn’t just saved by a bear, but a bear shifter named Indiana. And now that he’s caught her scent and knows what it’s like to hold her in his arms, he doesn’t want to let her go. Will she learn to trust this lonely bear, or will she leave the woods—and him—forever?

Download or read book Silence Of The Heart written by David Frith and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-12-16 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cricket has an alarming suicide rate. Among international players for England and several other countries it is far above the national average for all sports: and there have been numerous instances at other levels of the game. For thirty years, celebrated cricket author David Frith has collected data on this sad subject. Silence of the Heart is his compelling account of over a hundred cricketers - involving top names from the past hundred years - who have taken their own lives, with an explanation of factors that led to their premature deaths. Can the shocking rate of self-destruction among cricketers be reduced? Can those who run the game do something to save its participants from this dreadful fate? These are among the questions addressed within this catalogue of biographies. But the key question is whether cricket itself is to blame for its losses - or is that this summer game attracts people of a melancholic and over-sensitive nature? Stoddart, Shrewsbury, Gimblett, Bairstow, Trott, Iverson, Robertson-Glasgow, Barnes . . . There remains a sense of disbelief that these high-profile cricketers killed themselves. And many more cases are examined in this extraordinary book, which comes crammed with detail, is not devoid of humour, and must rank among the most intricately researched volumes in cricket's extensive library. With a foreword by former England captain Mike Brearley, now a psychotherapist, Silence of the Heart is a startling investigative narrative covering the phenomenon of cricket's unduly high level of suicide.
