Book excerpt: From Matthew Quick, the New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook—made into the Academy Award–winning movie starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper—comes a poignant and hopeful novel about a widower who takes in a grieving teenager and inspires a magical revival in their small town. Lucas Goodgame lives in Majestic, Pennsylvania, a quaint suburb that has been torn apart by a recent tragedy. Everyone in Majestic sees Lucas as a hero—everyone, that is, except Lucas himself. Insisting that his deceased wife, Darcy, visits him every night in the form of an angel, Lucas spends his time writing letters to his former Jungian analyst, Karl. It is only when Eli, an eighteen-year-old young man whom the community has ostracized, begins camping out in Lucas’s backyard that an unlikely alliance takes shape and the two embark on a journey to heal their neighbors and, most importantly, themselves. From Matthew Quick, whose work has been described by the Boston Herald as “like going to your favorite restaurant.

The humorous, soul-baring story of Lucas Goodgame offers an antidote to toxic masculinity and celebrates the healing power of art. In this tale that will stay with you long after the final page is turned, Quick reminds us that life is full of guardian angels.

Download or read book Grief and Grit s written by Marsha Gray Hill and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marsha Gray Hill's Grief and Grit(s) is an emotional odyssey that illuminates the complexities of grief, while offering a beacon of hope and inspiration for those navigating their own journeys of loss. This extraordinary memoir serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love to transcend even the darkest of times. In times of unprecedented panic, we see what we’re really made of. Though the worldwide pandemic affected each of us differently, this time of turmoil brought one thing into stark clarity: the value of human life. When tragedy begets triaging and certain demographics are seen as more disposable than others, what does that say about our society? And what does it say about us? This is a story about America, about how we view the most vulnerable people in our society—our aging and elderly—both in times of crisis and in our everyday lives. This is also a story about a mother and daughter, of a mother raising her daughter in love, faith, and confidence, then the bizarre role-reversal as that mother deteriorated to the helplessness of a child. Nothing can prepare you for that intensity of sorrow and joy. Nothing can prepare you for what happens when the coroner refuses to show up and pronounce your mother legally dead, either. In this stunning debut, author Marsha Hill invites you into a personal look at an uncomfortable truth: how we treat our elderly today defines our own future. Full of tragedy and triumph, laughter and tears, grief and—yes, some good, old-fashioned grits—Grief and Grit(s) is not only a reflection of the life and tragic death of Adaline Gray, but the power of our generation to fight for human dignity at every stage of life.

After griping over drinks one night, they came up with a plan to face their fears, rediscover their interests, try new things, and renew their relationships. They challenged themselves to try one new thing every week for a year—from test-driving a Maserati to target practice at a shooting range to ballroom dance lessons—and to blog about their journeys.

Interspersed with personal stories is expert advice from doctors, psychiatrists, artists, and even a poker diva (who also happens to be a Fortune 500 executive).

Download or read book My Life With Tourette s Syndrome written by Faith Stoddard and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to communicate to parents, teachers, and the public, especially those who have children or work with them, about a disorder known as Tourette's syndrome and the many symptoms that accompany this disorder. This book is about the life of a girl who suddenly developed symptoms of multiple tics. These included head jerking, eye blinking, throat clearing, humming, and grunting. She spent almost half of her life not knowing what she had and why she exhibited these tics. She was finally diagnosed at age twenty-seven after a kind Christian woman who saw for herself while sitting behind her in the pew of a church came up to her with information to share with her about her tics, and the name of a good neurologist who finally diagnosed her with what is now known as Tourette's syndrome. This changed the way she thought of herself because even though her symptoms didn't disappear, she now had something that had a name. It was a life-changing experience for her. Read about the unique and unforgettable experiences in her life as she was able to still live it with dignity and grace and went on to get married, have children, grandchildren, and some very faithful friends. Her tics still wax and wane throughout her life, but she is mainly plagued with the head tic. She was able to camouflage some of the other ones. This came with time and practice. Her unwavering faith in God was her anchor and divine intervention which carried her through each phase of her life and to whom she gives the glory to.
