The adoptive parents tell her the children don’t sleep, they eat constantly, and their IQs are off the charts. Against her better judgment, Shelby agrees to help. By the time she realizes she’s up against something powerful, something evil, it’s almost too late.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up more than a thousand miles apart and worlds away from each other, Johnny and Adrianne seemed to have all that children could ask for. Born into a Great-Gatsby-like party, old-money wealth and privilege defined Johnny's childhood in Ladue, Missouri—the Beverly Hills of St. Louis. Born addicted to heroin in New York City, Adrianne was placed as an infant with loving, middle-class Jewish foster parents on Long Island. However, the demons of their respective biological mothers would eventually tear their fragile young lives apart as told in this compelling tandem narrative. Eventually, destiny would bring Johnny and Adrianne together, but first they had to endure the painful toll that alcohol, drugs, and a negligent court system would take on them. With parts of Adrianne's story ripped from national news headlines, their journeys take them for the depths of despair and near death to their first serendipitous introduction and the moment each knew they were finally safe. Filled with hope, inspiration, and humor, The Painting and the Piano is an unforgettable story of pain, loss, and the undying human quest for happiness.

Book excerpt: The ocean has always been a place of freedom for Lisa Whelan, and after her newborn son passes away, she returns to her family home by the sea to seek freedom from her grief. She’s not expecting to meet anyone, and is caught off guard by the attraction she feels for Rachel, the part-owner of a local restaurant. That initial spark is dampened, however, when Lisa realizes that Rachel has a child. Rachel Murray has worked hard to build a life for herself and her son but raising Declan has not been without its challenges. Each day when Rachel picks him up from school, she says a silent prayer that he will be waiting for her in his classroom, and not in the principal’s office. Again. Her son’s behavior has grown increasingly disruptive, and Rachel is at a loss at how to help him. Despite her grief, Lisa finds herself drawn to both Rachel and Declan. She thinks she can keep her emotions at bay— keep from drowning in grief and keep from falling in love—but she finds both to be a tidal wave, washing over her, sweeping her off her feet. Lisa never intended on falling in love with anyone, and she certainly cannot allow herself to fall for someone whose son is a constant reminder of the child she lost. Or can she?

Download or read book Behind Our Eyes written by Sanford Rosenthal, Executive Director and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'm always impressed by pioneering efforts. This anthology represents a noteworthy beginning for this group of writers. From the triumphs over adversity dramatized in the first section, to the heartwarming and heartbreaking stories and poems of the final grouping, they show us sensitivity and inspire strength. They show us disability as it is lived honestly. Fables, fantasies, and tips about writing add something new, making this publication a unique contribution to disability literature."-Erik Weihenmayer, author of Touch the Top of the World and The Adversity Advantage Disabled people, in most ways, are just like everyone else. So it should come as no surprise that the stories, essays, and poems in Behind Our Eyes deal with situations and emotions that confront all of us: family and marriage, love and heartbreak, discord, appreciation of nature, and the desire to engage in the world more fully. In this uplifting collection, we read about the dedication of a guide dog who protects a blind woman and her young children from a burglar until police arrive; the inner struggle for a stroke victim whose world is rearranged overnight; the challenges faced by disabled children, spouses, and seniors when their families see their limitations instead of their abilities; the difficulty faced by a blind man coping with a team of insensitive doctors and nurses who seem to keep forgetting he can't see; and much more. A real and candid portrait of life with disability as well as an entertaining foray into the minds and hearts of a beautifully diverse group of people, Behind Our Eyes urges and inspires us to meet even our loftiest goals, embrace our individual vulnerabilities, and let our own imaginations soar.

Download or read book The Father s Daughter written by V. M. Dexter and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emily thought her life was perfect with the exception that she always wondered who her father was and what her mother was really like. She was adopted as a newborn by her mother's best friend when her real mother died from a blood disease shortly after she was born. Her life seemed charmed and she had nearly everything she could want or need. Her curiosity through the years of her youth was soothed by pictures of her biological mother but never her father. Lisa, her adoptive mother, didn't know who her father was, just that her mother Molly had gone to a sperm bank because she didn't want the complications of having a husband and all the headaches of a relationship with a man. Molly wanted a baby to complete her perfect life as Hollywood's prettiest newscaster. Her life was charmed and she was perfectly happy without the confinement of a relationship. She had had many relationships without satisfying results and decided she didn't need a man in her life, if only she just had a baby. So she went to the sperm bank and chose the most intelligent and most handsome donor from the vast selection in the catalog. She knew her baby would be perfect in every way. Before Emily came into Lisa's life, she had raised her son and had a pretty quiet but satisfying life. Was she ready to take on another child if something happened to Molly? She and Molly had been inseparable since they were children. She would die for Molly, but to raise a child on her own again was no small favor. When Emily's father, Jake, came looking for the child or children his sperm had produced, he wasn't sure what to expect. As it turned out, only one child had been produced and he knew he had to track her down. As a widower with no children of his own, he longed to know his biological daughter, hoping she felt the same way and that she would want to know him. Once he found her, should he seek custody or just leave her be? He wondered what she looked like and how old she was, if she would accept him as part of her life or reject him for not being there before even though it wasn't his choice to not be there for her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book shows how folklore -- magic, miracles, and tales of enchanted princesses and genial giants -- is still alive and well in the modern mass media.... contains a wealth of facts and observations with which to conjure." -- Journal of Communication "Dégh brings her decades of expertise in folk narrative to bear in this well-researched, provocative study of the interrelationship between traditional processes of folk narrative performances and modern mass media.... Highly recommended... " -- Choice "Spanning folk cultural developments as old as feudalism and as new as today's TV ad, American Folklore and the Mass Media demonstrates how vital folklore remains, how often it absorbs -- rather than being absorbed by -- the most dramatic technological innovations and social realignments." -- Carl Lindahl "... all six essays are meaty and informative contributions to vital folkloric issues..." -- Contemporary Legend
