Book excerpt: Sometimes, if you want to have it all, you have to let it all go. Orville and Wilbur Wright came to the North Carolina coast for the strong, steady winds. Daniel Cross has come for something almost as intangible. He comes seeking a new place that he and Noah can call home. Someplace with a future and not a past. Uprooting the two of them from Boston had been a sudden decision—based on nothing more than Daniel's perception that Noah was growing more withdrawn and he blamed that on Boston. Perhaps that decision had been a rash one. Now, he is determined to make the best of it. Samantha Rivers works with her father at Rivers Motorcycle Sales & Service. Is she happy? Maybe not, but she is satisfied and wants only for things to stay the same. When Daniel Cross shows up and buys a junk motorcycle, she thinks he's crazy. And annoying. The feeling is mutual. But then something changes and the small act of buying and rebuilding a motorcycle becomes the catalyst that draws them closer while tearing them apart and putting them back together again too. A reflection on love and life for fans of Nicholas Sparks and Jojo Moyes. 236 pages

Book excerpt: As fast-paced as a freefall from a roaring airplane, as thrilling as a towering jump off a ski slope, Being Extreme is a fascinating examination of the adrenaline rush of extreme sports. Here is a world where living life on the edge is the only option, where you are only as good as your last jump . . . and where one false move can take you out of the game permanently. From mountain climbing and freestyle motocross to skydiving and snowboarding and beyond, in the past decade, the world of extreme sports has exploded onto the scene, with daredevils attempting acts of athleticism that leave spectators awed . . . and fearful. Being Extreme explores the motivations and societal impulses behind these high-risk lifestyles through interviews with professional athletes and recreational enthusiasts, as well as with psychiatrists who seek to understand the motivation behind these “Big T” personalities. Authors Gutman and Frederick also explore what heart-stopping sports are around the next curve, because in a world where the “rush” is everything, everyone is always upping their game.

Download or read book I d Rather Do Chemo Than Clean Out the Garage written by Fran Di Giacomo and published by BrownBooks.ORM. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspiring and witty memoir by a woman battling cancer—with laughter. Fran Di Giacomo made it through one case of cancer at forty—then got hit with a worse case in her fifties. Tired of the somber, weepy books she kept getting from well-meaning friends, she stumbled upon a book that made her laugh out loud—and realized that was what she’d been missing. Laughter felt good—and that was how she wanted to feel. Inspired, she wrote this unique memoir, an unsentimental, sharply funny take on her experience—including her favorite techniques for shamelessly exploiting the chemo lifestyle. She reveals the way that indulging her sense of humor not only kept her sane during the hardest moments, but also allowed her to continue her successful career as an artist, even through thirteen hospitalizations, ten surgeries, and constant chemotherapy. Her book is terrifically entertaining—as her oncologist warns in the foreword, you should avoid reading it in the immediate postoperative period due to the risk of popping a suture. It can also help other cancer patients, or anyone dealing with hardship, to cultivate a zesty enthusiasm for life and empower themselves to keep fighting.

Download or read book Calibur written by Jakob L. Waitekus and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free falling. One of the most extreme sports in the world. Well, both worlds actually. Anyway, below me, I could see her-rather, the speck I assumed to be her. I wanted to scream, but no one would have been able to hear me. My ship was a thousand feet above me, and she was just as equally far below me. I was fifteen years old and had already done things only a soldier should do, almost nothing a kid should do, and I didn't mind it that much. She was also fifteen years old, and the worst thing she had ever done was maybe argue with her mother or gotten into a fight in school. Neither of us had a parachute, yet one of us would survive; unfortunately, it wasn't her. I wanted to scream. It was my fault, after all. I wanted to kill myself, I was so angry. Children are often taught by parents and preachers that God created everyone special, different from anyone else. For Calibur, special took on a whole new meaning. He was born into war, as a reason for war, and as a soldier of war. War is all he has ever known, and his anger-his special anger-has always been the tool he used to fight it. And it wasn't like he didn't have good reason; his enemy was slowly killing everything that mattered to him. And then came Alice. With Alice, Calibur starts to see that maybe, just maybe, his entire paradigm has been askewa "and maybe, just maybe, love can change anyone, even the most horrific monsters."
