Download or read book Boys Home written by Willis Howard and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boy’s Home by Willis Howard Boy’s Home is a heart- rendering, emotional story of a young boy’s struggle to find himself in a might-is-right new world. A parentless atmosphere where he is thrown into an orphanage, along with twenty-three other distraught boys. He finds himself living in an environment void of affection and compassion. It is a poignant story that will tug at your heart ... a story jammed with unexpected excitement. The author of Boy’s Home went through eight formative years in this unusual situation, and writes his unique story in first person, realistic fiction. Damon, an adept, handsome boy, nearly two years older befriends him. He protects guides and teaches him the way of life in this uncanny climate. Everything is shared: the cliques, the problems, the pranks, the initiation rituals, the discipline, and the intimacies. Subordinated with unbelievable, unique characters: Miss Jay, the head matron, an indifferent old bitch, crafty, cold-hearted, and faster than a hummingbird with her back-handers. Mrs. Smith, the compassionate cook with an English accent, a facade of toughness, but a heart as soft and sweet as pure whipped cream; Julie, the author’s first encounter with the opposite sex that leaves him with a deceived and aching, crushed nebulous heart. The thread of sexual awakening that slowly wends its way through the pages of Boy’s Home becomes the unraveling and final snag to this rare and innermost story.
Download or read book Bay and Her Boys written by Bay Buchanan and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-three years ago, Bay Buchanan was thrown--or as she says, dumped--into the world of single parenting. It wasn’t a popular time to be raising kids solo, especially as a rising star in the conservative movement. But she quickly realized she needed to overcome the hurt and confusion and focus on giving her all to her children. Bay and Her Boys is a compelling story that takes the reader on a candid trip into the world of single working motherhood. For the first time, Buchanan writes of her experiences--mistakes she made and rules that worked--in the hopes of encouraging mothers to make success at home their first priority in life. Buchanan also wants to change the national dialogue about single moms with a shot across the bow of both conservatives and liberals. This book is the first step by a prominent conservative to be there for all mothers: standing with them, inspiring them, and arming them with tools that will help their kids succeed in life.
