Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Bruce Goldstein-an edgy, twenty-something New Yorker trying to make his mark in advertising-just waking up in the morning was an ordeal. Underemployed and recently dumped, he was well into the downward spiral of bipolar disorder. Even with therapy, lithium, Paxil, Wellbutrin, and Prozac, he could not shake his rapid mood swings, his fear of dying, or the voice of Satan, who first visited him one sunny day in Central Park. Then came Ozzy, a black Labrador pup (named after metal's "Prince of Darkness") who leads Bruce toward recovery through complete, canine dependence. From the depths of his despair to a life remade, Bruce shows how learning to care for, train, and love the hilariously loyal Ozzy provided him with the structure and focus he needed to heal.

She never even heard of Somerset until a month ago when shortly after her grandfather’s passing, Gram mentioned she’d like to travel back to her childhood home. The townspeople all want to get close to Darcy as though she holds the secret that will destroy their peaceful existence. Maybe they believe that Darcy knows the truth Gram holds close to her heart. Darcy soon uncovers it all. She learns that sometimes deception is to protect the innocent.
Download or read book The R Document written by Irving Wallace and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irving Wallace’s novels have made him one of America’s best-known and best-selling storytellers. Now to the list of such best sellers as The Fan Club, The Word, The Seven Minutes, and The Plot he has added his most timely and compelling novel to date: The R Document—the story of a conspiracy to destroy the Bill of Rights, of an attempt by the FBI to take over the country. Against a background of rising violence and crime, Wallace pits two opposing forces: those who are working to amend the Constitution so that the Government can impose a drastic rule of “law and order” and those who recognize that the proposed 35th Amendment may conceal a far more sinister and far-reaching plan, one that would subvert the entire process of Constitutional government and replace it with a police state. Opponents in this life-and-death conflict are the bull-like, powerful Director of the FBI, Vernon T. Tynan, and the new Attorney General, Christopher Collins, an ambitious, honest man who supports the controversial 35th Amendment despite his private misgivings, but who discovers that there is a secret plot of an evil and vicious nature behind it. For Collins, the first doubt is stirred at the deathbed of his predecessor, whose last words are a warning of “The R Document”—the dangerous, mysterious, elusive key to the nation’s future. In search of this vital document, in a desperate fight against time, Collins stumbles upon the possibility that the FBI is terrorizing important leaders in California and that the Government may be secretly preparing a concentration camp in the desert against the day when the Amendment has been ratified. As his hunt for “The R Document” continues, Collins finds himself involved in a widening series of dirty tricks: an attempt at sexual blackmail against himself; the establishment of a zombie-like American town in which, as a “pilot program,” the citizens have been stripped of their Constitutional rights; a brutal double murder; a revelation of scandal in his wife’s past that causes her to vanish. As the hours rush by to the moment when California will take the final, decisive vote on the ratification of the 35th Amendment, the fate of the country rests on Collins’ shoulders, on the outcome of his death struggle with Director Tynan and on the hunt for “The R Document.” Shocking, authentic, excitingly readable, blending inside fact with fiction as only Irving Wallace can, The R Document will be one of the most widely read and talked-about novels of the year.

Download or read book A Toast to Love and Sacrifice written by Andrea Rachiele and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-11-14 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book comprises three tales written in "classical" verse (i.e., strict rhythms and rhyme.) Although in the form of fairy tales and fables, they deal with important social and historic issues. "A Tale of Dancing Chair" decries racial discrimination and expounds the idea that, regardless of outside help, success comes to those who don't shy away from hard work, are willing and able to use creative potential to the fullest, and stand up to bigotry, injustice, and unfair judgement. "A Tale of Captive Puffins . . ." reflects upon events in the history of Russian/Soviet Jewry in the twentieth Century. To recognize historic prototypes of the fable's characters, one should read up on history of Tsarist Russia and Soviet Union, Weimar and Nazi Germany. However, it is not a prerequisite: the Tale is intended to trigger reader's interest in those chapters of history. "A Tale of Boy Nightingale . . . " is intended to make dents in prejudices against unconventional" (gay and lesbian) families. It proclaims love, respect, and loyalty as traits identifying and holding together families, asserts that friendship between children from different families is greatest hope and strongest weapon in the struggle against prejudices still prevalent in society.
