Download or read book Brat written by Andrew McCarthy and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fans of Patti Smith's Just Kids and Rob Lowe's Stories I Only Tell My Friends will love this beautifully written, entertaining, and emotionally honest memoir by an actor, director, and author who found his start as an 80s Brat pack member -- the inspiration for the Hulu documentary Brats, written and directed by Andrew McCarthy. Most people know Andrew McCarthy from his movie roles in Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo's Fire, Weekend at Bernie's, and Less than Zero, and as a charter member of Hollywood's Brat Pack. That iconic group of ingenues and heartthrobs included Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, and Demi Moore, and has come to represent both a genre of film and an era of pop culture. In his memoir Brat: An '80s Story, McCarthy focuses his gaze on that singular moment in time. The result is a revealing look at coming of age in a maelstrom, reckoning with conflicted ambition, innocence, addiction, and masculinity. New York City of the 1980s is brought to vivid life in these pages, from scoring loose joints in Washington Square Park to skipping school in favor of the dark revival houses of the Village where he fell in love with the movies that would change his life. Filled with personal revelations of innocence lost to heady days in Hollywood with John Hughes and an iconic cast of characters, Brat is a surprising and intimate story of an outsider caught up in a most unwitting success.

Combining incisive commentary with grounded, practical advice, Your Kid’s a Brat and It’s All Your Fault will have you recognizing and laughing at yourself, your fellow parents, and a culture that seems determined to turn our precious angels into not-so-precious brats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent violence and abuse towards parents is increasingly recognised as a global problem. Inverting how we normally understand power to operate in abusive relationships, it involves actors who cannot easily be categorised as victims or perpetrators, and often impacts families who are experiencing multiple stressors and hardships and may be experiencing other forms of family abuse. This unique book draws on an international selection of contributors to identify, present and explore what we know about what works when supporting these families. Exploring conceptual and theoretical challenges produced by this emerging social problem: Part 1 discusses some well-established intervention approaches and programmes, looking at their theoretical base and relevant assessment, delivery and evaluation issues. It provides readers with a theoretical framework and toolkit for use in their own intervention work. Part 2 presents examples of innovative practice, with an emphasis on diverse institutional settings, geographical locations and other important contexts that shape practice. It provides readers with an understanding of some of the complexities involved in this kind of intervention work, offering tools and strategies to be applied in their own work. This interdisciplinary guide provides an essential resource for students and practitioners with an interest in domestic and family violence, youth studies, child protection, drug and alcohol work, and youth justice from a wide range of professional backgrounds.

Download or read book Two Is Enough written by Laura Scott and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2009-09-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fall in love. Get married. Have children. For most couples, marriage and children go hand in hand. And yet, the number of people choosing childlessness is on the rise. These are the childless by choice—people who have actively decided not to have children—rather than the childless by circumstance. In Two Is Enough, Laura S. Scott explores the assumptions surrounding childrearing, and explores the reasons many people are choosing to forgo this experience. Scott, founder of the Childless by Choice Project, examines the personal stories of people who have faced this decision and explores the growing trend of childlessness. Scott’s expert knowledge and analysis offer a picture of the childless by choice—who they are, why they’ve chosen to remain childless, and how they’ve had these conversations with loved ones. Honest and unapologetic, Two Is Enough recognizes the challenges of being childless in today’s society and offers suggestions on how that same society can change to make room for the childless and the childfree.

Book excerpt: A COLLECTION OF 4 STEAMY AGE GAP ROMANCES FORBIDDEN CRUSH: I’m her boss, her father’s best friend, and far too old to want someone as young as her. When my best friend asked me to hire his daughter who was down on her luck, I didn’t hesitate to extend the offer, especially when I was in need of a new assistant. At twenty-three, she was young and vibrant . . . and far more irresistible than the young, teenaged girl I’d remembered her to be. Hiring Ashley was the best and worst decision of my life. The best decision because Ashley proved to be an amazing, invaluable assistant, anticipating my needs as her boss before I even expressed them. The worst decision because she was temptation personified, and when she made the first move and kissed me, I cracked under all that sensual tension and took everything she was offering, and more, until we were both too far gone to turn back. All hell breaks loose when her father finds out . . . but that’s nothing compared to the unexpected bombshell Ashley drops on me that changes everything. I’m going to be a daddy. FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION: Retired Marine, Manning Reid, had been my father’s best friend for as long as I could remember. But now, with my father gone, I’m left to run his beloved bar, Sullivan’s. I’m also stuck working with a hot, tough, impenetrable man I haven’t seen in years who has a way of making me desire things that should be forbidden between us. Manning is grumpy, over-protective, and built like sin. A veritable daddy . . . one who refuses to see me as anything more than the little girl I’d once been, no matter how hard I try to convince him otherwise. He has a way of pushing all my buttons, so I push back harder, and end up unleashing all those dark, sensual cravings he can no longer deny. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted from him, and more. I want to be his, but Manning insists I’m too young for him, that I deserve so much better than a man as jaded as him. That’s where he’s wrong . . . he’s the perfect man for me, and I’ll do whatever it takes to prove it. FORBIDDEN ATTRACTION: Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve had a thing for my best friend’s hot dad, Sutton. Now that I’m in my twenties and he’s divorced, there is no denying our attraction, despite our almost twenty year age gap. Except Sutton is hell-bent on being a good guy and keeping things platonic between us. What he doesn’t count on is my single-minded determination to be a bad girl and seduce him, until he can’t resist me any longer. When we find ourselves stranded at a resort and sharing a room, nothing will stop me from finally getting what I want. Sutton is everything I’ve fantasized about, and more, but when he’s forced to make an impossible decision, will he choose me, or walk away from everything we could be together? FORBIDDEN PROMISES: I never would have imagined being trapped in an elevator with my father’s best friend would ignite desires that we both were unable to deny. But all that lust between us came tumbling out, and despite our scorching hot attraction, and even steamier tryst, I swore it was a one-time thing. Never to happen again. At least that’s what I told myself. Kurt, however, didn’t feel the same.
