Book excerpt: It is a young-adult Christian book for teens and their families; addresses bullying at school and home; topics include bullying related to food allergies, food intolerances, dyslexia, and physical appearances. Here is the back cover synopsis: "It was the worst day of my life. The biggest bully in seventh grade punched me, and everybody at school ignored my existence-I felt invisible. Then I ditched class and was caught by the principal. And when I finally had the courage to tell my parents that my brother also bullies me at home, they said I was exaggerating. Really?I'm Louie Pickle, and my twisted life in middle school has been more gut-wrenching than my friends and I could've ever imagined. We've been teased, picked on, and punched for words we can't read and foods we can't eat-like peanut butter, cheese pizza, and chocolate ice cream-which is why I'm writing this story. The weird thing is that occasionally I make up dorky poems and prayers to deal with stress. But the cool part is how we stand up to Bobblebutt and the group of bullies by drinking braaaain juice, growing rhino skin, and being brave like Commander Courageous. Middle school is about to become the best adventure on the planet!"

His voice takes the reader on a journey through Randy's first childhood memory of being brutally beaten for a crime he didn't commit. Then living in unimaginable pain as punishment for that crime. With a strong will to live and simply being too stubborn to die, he endured brutal amputations and bullet wounds using his self taught skills to patch himself back together. Randy never knew his father and can't remember even knowing his name. He grew up roaming the country with his psychotic mother and alcoholic stepdad, never knowing any stability in his life. With little formal education, due to the frequency and extent of his wounds and the gypsy lifestyle of his folks, he used his self driven motivation to educate himself in the skills that he most needed to survive. Aside from the basics of reading and writing, he became skilled in street smarts and survival with things such as petty theft, pool hustling as well as "doctoring" and mind control. He turned to drugs at a young age and used heavily throughout half of his childhood and all of his teen years. He was constantly faced with life threatening obstacles and always found himself longing for death, but yet struggling to live. Randy was determined to not let the abuse against him result in his death, so he struggled to do what ever it took to stay alive. Along the journey of his life, he made true friends and true love. Step inside Randy's memories as he tells his story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M

Download or read book Manhood Impossible written by Scott Melzer and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Manhood Impossible, Scott Melzer argues that boys’ and men’s bodies and breadwinner status are the two primary sites for their expression of control. Controlling selves and others, and resisting being dominated and controlled is most connected to men’s bodies and work. However, no man can live up to these culturally ascendant ideals of manhood. The strategies men use to manage unmet expectations often prove toxic, not only for men themselves, but also for other men, women, and society. Melzer strategically explores the lives of four groups of adult men struggling with contemporary body and breadwinner ideals. These case studies uncover men’s struggles to achieve and maintain manhood, and redefine what it means to be a man.

Book excerpt: Jordan is off-limits: not only is she my client's sister, she's ten years my junior. But that's not stopping me from making her mine… I've protected more princesses, celebrities, and billionaires than I could shake a bulletproof vest at. I'm ready to move onto less dramatic pastures: becoming the CEO of my own protection company. Until the Fairchilds ask me to personally oversee their little sister Jordan, who they're desperate to reconnect with—and keep safe as she enters into their world. I'd do anything for these guys – so of course I say yes. Besides, I know the two most important rules of this biz: don't mount the ward, and never become emotionally involved. I'm positive this assignment will be the final slam dunk in my close protection resume…until I see her. She's five foot nothing with gray eyes that put me in a chokehold. Barista by day, stripper by night, Pokemon hunter in-between. She can't even blink without making a few guys cream their briefs. I think I know what to expect from a fire-breathing brat like her, who pushes and pulls at every opportunity. But it turns out, she's everything I didn't expect to need. As my assignment turns into co-habitation and so much more, all the rules fly out the window. This love could destroy me, and the mission we're on could ruin both of our lives if it goes sideways. We're fighting for the fate of her brothers…and Jordan is prepared to pay the ultimate price to save her family. Billionaires. Bad boys. Bleeding hearts.
