Download or read book This Is Chance written by Jon Mooallem and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thrilling, cinematic story of a community shattered by disaster—and the extraordinary woman who helped pull it back together “A powerful, heart-wrenching book, as much art as it is journalism.”—The Wall Street Journal “A beautifully wrought and profoundly joyful story of compassion and perseverance.”—BuzzFeed (Best Books of the Year) In the spring of 1964, Anchorage, Alaska, was a modern-day frontier town yearning to be a metropolis—the largest, proudest city in a state that was still brand-new. But just before sundown on Good Friday, the community was jolted by the most powerful earthquake in American history, a catastrophic 9.2 on the Richter Scale. For four and a half minutes, the ground lurched and rolled. Streets cracked open and swallowed buildings whole. And once the shaking stopped, night fell and Anchorage went dark. The city was in disarray and sealed off from the outside world. Slowly, people switched on their transistor radios and heard a familiar woman’s voice explaining what had just happened and what to do next. Genie Chance was a part-time radio reporter and working mother who would play an unlikely role in the wake of the disaster, helping to put her fractured community back together. Her tireless broadcasts over the next three days would transform her into a legendary figure in Alaska and bring her fame worldwide—but only briefly. That Easter weekend in Anchorage, Genie and a cast of endearingly eccentric characters—from a mountaineering psychologist to the local community theater group staging Our Town—were thrown into a jumbled world they could not recognize. Together, they would make a home in it again. Drawing on thousands of pages of unpublished documents, interviews with survivors, and original broadcast recordings, This Is Chance! is the hopeful, gorgeously told story of a single catastrophic weekend and proof of our collective strength in a turbulent world. There are moments when reality instantly changes—when the life we assume is stable gets upended by pure chance. This Is Chance! is an electrifying and lavishly empathetic portrayal of one community rising above the randomness, a real-life fable of human connection withstanding chaos.

Download or read book Heroes of the Frontier written by Dave Eggers and published by Knopf Canada. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating, often hilarious novel of family, loss, wilderness, and the curse of a violent America, Dave Eggers’s Heroes of the Frontier is a powerful examination of our contemporary life and a rousing story of adventure. Josie and her children’s father have split up, she’s been sued by a former patient and lost her dental practice, and she’s grieving the death of a young man senselessly killed. When her ex asks to take the children to meet his new fiancée’s family, Josie makes a run for it, figuring Alaska is about as far as she can get without a passport. Josie and her kids, Paul and Ana, rent a rattling old RV named the Chateau, and at first their trip feels like a vacation: They see bears and bison, they eat hot dogs cooked on a bonfire, and they spend nights parked along icy cold rivers in dark forests. But as they drive, pushed north by the ubiquitous wildfires, Josie is chased by enemies both real and imagined, past mistakes pursuing her tiny family, even to the very edge of civilization. A tremendous new novel from the bestselling author of The Circle, Heroes of the Frontier is the darkly comic story of a mother and her two young children on a journey through an Alaskan wilderness plagued by wildfires and a uniquely American madness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Jake: human, husband, curator of relics, bearer of burdens, troublemaker, fool, father of two. As his daughter tells it, I wished my father would change the world and fix every broken thing. But oh no, no, not him. More than anything, he loved paper. Paper, paper, paper. Mountains of paper. He couldnt get enough of it. He wrote on ithe wrote and wrote and wrote. He traveled somehe wrote about that. He walked a lothe wrote about that. He worked in bookstores and wrote about that. He worked in museums and wrote about that. I speak of my father, Jacob Friedman Wright, most of whose life was lived in a time when computers were still a novelty, and there was not yet the Internet. He was a collector. His house was filled with stuff, flea market finds, thrift shop junk. He would pick things up off the street. Seriously. He collected artifacts, as he called them. And books. Books about the arts and crafts movement, mainly, along with every sort of miscellaneous book about life on earth, philosophy, planets, and physics. If the book was published in the year 1912 or the author had been born or had died in the year 1912, so much the better. In Camperdene, Massachusetts, as it happened, they had been looking for a new curator for their Museum of the Year 1912. After the Museum Association's Board of Directors had appointed my father curator, the Chairman, Wallace Barrow, had moved in close to him, had placed a long arm around his shoulder, and had whispered ominously, Don't get this wrong, Jacob Wright. You're the dog. Don't let the tail wag you. You could say this book is the story of how the tail wagged him.

Download or read book Finding Jacob s Ladder Book I in the Jacob s Ladder Series written by Mark James Foster and published by Writers Republic LLC. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding Jacob's Ladder Book I in Ascending Jacob's Ladder In many ways, this book is a duplicate of the book that I have written called Ask, Knock, Seek and Find. Besides the events that I have shown that were dreamt that transpired, which had taken place since its original manuscript was written. I have also integrated the dream definitions directly into this book, which is named. Finding Jacob's Ladder. Out of the three Books in this series of which are being published simultaneously, this book sets the stage for the following parables. Dreams have been given to man to instruct them or even forewarn them of events to come. I have also found that they are fantastic parables allowing one willing to pay heed and understanding the Spirit of Christ and that of the Holy Ghost. Giving meaning to the supernal comprehension that the spirit dictates as the parable means to them in their lives. Dreams and visions can show each person their possible future. The varied meanings of each of the interpreted dreams. If they haven't already taken place or when they do take place in the future. Dreams and visions are revelation given to man by our Heavenly Father! "Ensuring they are correctly translated." We know the time of the Lord is at hand, and those that assume that they will have many more years to repent are only not seeing the signs in the heavens but are not reading their scriptures. Sadly, they will be mistaken when these devastations occur, which are only a description of a couple of these devastating destructions that will take place on earth as it rolls to and fro. It will be from these devastations that occur to the saints and all those who live within that region that will initiate the remainder of the world events prophesied to occur. Pay great heed to the words of Isaiah, for Nephi himself told us that Isaiah's writings were meant for our day. That through dreams, God will still give warnings and guidance. As long as we seek out the Holy Ghost for the correct Interpretation of those dreams and/or visions, we are humbly requesting of our Heavenly Father for our families and ourselves, knowing that these revelations were meant for you and your own family personally. Understanding that your dreams or visions will never go against the counsel of our prophet or apostles. There is no need for me to say much more, for within these three Books, this being the first. You will have a far greater understanding of myself as the writer or merely the pen. Then what a few more lines about myself could illustrate. Above all, the Love I have for our Heavenly Father, the Lord our Savior Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost is paramount.
