Download or read book A Gift of Love written by Linda Della Donna and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like two chips in a cookie, Linda and Ed Sclier were rolling happily along in their marriage-only to have everything come undone when Ed was diagnosed with cancer. Less than a year later, he died, turning Linda's world upside down. In A Gift of Love, she narrates her grief journey, shares the highlights of the wonderful man she fell in love with and married, describes the love they shared, and tells about the woman she has become since her soul mate died. While tracing a golden thread of treasured memories, A Gift of Love shares the struggles of a dying man, his untimely death, and his widow's deepest sorrows. Telling the story of their lives and her sorrow with grace and honesty, Linda gives a step-by-step accounting of love, loss, and the celebration of her soul mate's end, while marking her new beginning. More than fulfilling the promise she made to her husband on his deathbed to write his story, this memoir teaches life's valuable lesson: when you lose a spouse, life goes on-and love does live forever. Most of all, it acts as a reminder that though life can change suddenly, each one of us possesses the power to decide to accept the unthinkable.

In the hood, there is always that one dude who is trying to be successful in the music industry, but has it hard finding his way. Most of the time, he is better than a lot of the artists in the business. However, he lacks resources and the right promotion. No matter what, his hunger won’t let him quit. He will stop at nothing to be successful; even if it means rap wars, constant battles, club fights and gun play. It Was All a Dream is a work of fiction that everyone from the ghetto can relate to. Most people in the rap industry will agree with the hardship of being successful, while others will act as if it simple.

Download or read book The Obedient Banker written by Jeremy Tait and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-03-18 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Obedient Banker is the true life story of a young man who in 1951 at the age of twenty joins the London City branch of a colonial bank (later to become HSBC) as a trainee officer and after five months finds himself thrust into a strange world in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong, which was far removed from the quiet West Sussex village where he was brought up and the elite public school in Oxford where he was educated. Many of Jerrys fellow trainee officers had similar backgrounds and upbringings which helped them to adapt to new lifestyles which required complete obedience to the Banks rules and regulations. Hence the title of the book One critic writes: It is almost impossible for the reader not to identify with the struggles and successes of a young aspiring banker whose initiatives are so often tempered by the restraints imposed upon him by a highly regulated colonial system which he feels obliged to adhere to. Far away from his homeland and confronted with unusual situations which demand solutions beyond his capabilities, the obedient banker treads a tightrope between convention and innovation that only commonsense and self restraint can resolve. From taipans to tigers, from Japanese geishas to Indian princesses, from charging picket lines to illicit distilling and from the squalor of Bombays slums to the affluence of Beverly Hills, Jerry has captured it all in his fascinating book. Apart from numerous amusing anecdotes and unusual banking procedures, of considerable historical interest are the illustrations and the detailed accounts of the 1955 bank strike in Japan, the Sino-Indian War in 1962 when Chinese troops crossed the McMahon line, the fall of Saigon to the VC in 1975, the atrocities in Chile in 1976 under their military dictator General Augusto Pinochet and the closure of the banks branches in Yemen in 1980.

Book excerpt: A troubled English boy sets out to uncover the truth about his father’s death, from the Edgar Award–winning author of the Chronicles of Brother Cadfael. Following the death of his father at an archaeological dig in Greece, young Crispin Almond returned to England and the mother he barely knew. Now a difficult, morose, and unreachable teenager, he has been expelled from every school he’s attended. At her wits’ end, his mother decides Crispin needs a positive male role model and turns to a former friend, who disappeared from her life sixteen years earlier when she rejected his proposal of marriage. Hired by the woman he always loved to be her son’s tutor, Evelyn Manville is determined to break through Crispin’s protective shell. But the closer he gets to the troubled teen, the more unsettling their relationship becomes. Because, despite having no evidence, Crispin believes his father’s death in Greece was no accident, and he’s been secretly manipulating events to prove it. And now his plan could be drawing a murderer into all of their lives. With Death Mask, the Edgar, Agatha, and Gold Dagger Award–winning author of the Brother Cadfael Mysteries delivers a stand-alone novel that is “a literate and original piece of work” (Kirkus Reviews).

Download or read book Memories of the Future written by Wendell Bell and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life courses, both professional and personal, are often directed by unplanned experiences. At crossroads, which path is followed and which hard choices are made can change the direction of one’s future. Wendell Bell’s life illustrates how totally unforeseen events can shape individual lives. As he notes, despite our hopes and our plans for the future, there is also serendipity, feedback, twists and turns, chance and circumstance, all of which shape our futures with sometimes surprising results. In Bell’s case, such twists and turns of chance and circumstance led to his role in developing the new field of futures studies. In Memories of the Future, Bell recognizes the importance of images of the future and the effect of these images on events to come. Such images—dreams, visions, or whatever we call them—help to determine our actions, which, in turn, help shape the future, although not always in ways that we intend. Bell illustrates, partly with the story of his own life, how people remember such past images of the future and how the memories of them linger and are often used to judge the real outcomes of their lives. This is a fascinating view of the work of an important social scientist and the people and events that helped define his life. It is also about American higher education, especially from the end of World War II through the 1960s and 1970s, a period of educational transformation that included the spread of the merit system; the increase in ethnic, racial, gender, and social diversity among students and faculty; and a massive increase in research and knowledge.

Download or read book 90 Church written by Dean Unkefer and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MAD MEN MEETS THE WIRE IN THIS GRIPPING TRUE-CRIME MEMOIR BY A FORMER AGENT AT THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF NARCOTICS IN 1960s NEW YORK Before Nixon famously declared a "war on drugs," there was the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. New York City in the mid-1960s: The war in Vietnam was on the nation's tongue—but so is something else. Clandestine and chaotic, but equally ruthless, the agents of the Bureau were feared by the Mafia, dealers, pimps, prostitutes—anyone who did his or her business on the streets. With few rules and almost no oversight, the battle-hardened agents of the bureau were often more vicious than the criminals they chased. Agent Dean Unkefer was a naive kid with notions of justice and fair play when he joined up. But all that quickly changes once he gets thrown into the lion's den of 90 Church, the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, where he is shocked to see the agents he revered are often more like thugs than lawmen. When he finally gets the chance to prove his mettle by going undercover in the field, the lines become increasingly blurred. As he spirals into the hell of addiction and watches his life become a complex balancing act of lies and half-truths, he begins to wonder what side he is really on. 90 Church is both the unbelievable memoir of one man's confrontation with the dark corners of the human experience and a fascinating window into a little-known time in American history. Learn the story of the agents who make the DEA look like choirboys.
