Turley II reveals the not-so-glamorous lifestyle of crime in this story of a Washington DC kingpin and a drug-addicted ex-detective who cross paths and change each other's lives forever. There are two fates that come from indulging in a life of crime: death or incarceration. Nate Rodgers and Lionel Taylor are opposites in every way. While Nate has achieved dubious power and fame by pushing drugs on the streets, Lionel has fallen from honor as a police detective by giving in to the lure of drug abuse and losing his family in the process. When these two men meet, they inspire each other to rise above their circumstances and grasp at redemption. Nate gains a new purpose in life—to try and escape his drug-selling lifestyle while saving those he has pushed down the path to addiction. At the same time, Lionel works to conquer his habit and regain the loved ones he's lost. Alone, they have no chance, but together they might muster the strength to overcome the consequences of their bad decisions. Unvarnished and hard-hitting, Born Dying exposes the reality of drug addiction, telling the story from both sides—both user and pusher. Through the struggles, defeats, and victories, Born Dying is a story of hope, even in the darkest corner of life.

Download or read book The Who Man Chronicles written by Patrick Miele and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Despite the words on the cover, the pages in no way are a type of a self-help rehabilitation guide, informative in any way, nor will you gain knowledge in any way. Instead, if you have ever been diagnosed with ADHD (or not and just went through undetected, as there are more out there than you think), there is absolutely no structure. Author Patrick Miele often changes direction in mid-thought, and there are no chapters more than about three pages long. If you get a "I never thought of that," "Yeah, he's right on there," “I hate it when that happens," or just a chuckle, then his intentions of The Who-Man Chronicles have been achieved. The entire memoire was written during a two-year off-and-on stint in drug/alcohol rehabilitation inpatient treatment programs. This was supposed to be his journal/notebook during sessions but he strayed a bit. Two years later these pages were compiled. As a people "observer," Patrick is intrigued by human behavior and some of the idiosyncrasies of society and these rehabs were an observer's utopia. If you don't comprehend the concept of "random" thoughts, you will by the time you finish reading these pages.

As a result he really hit the bottle and his physical pain caused him to give up golfing and a Manchester, NH, baseball team he played for.
