Download or read book My Dark Places written by James Ellroy and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's greatest crime writer investigates his mother's murder. On 21 June 1958, Geneva Hilliker Ellroy left her home in California. She was found strangled the next day. Her ten year-old son James had been with her estranged husband all weekend and was informed of her death on his return. Her murderer was never found, but her death had an enduring effect on her son - he spent his teens and early adult years as a wino, petty burglar and derelict. Only later, through his obsession with crime fiction, triggered by his mother's murder, did Ellroy begin to delve into his past. Shortly after the publication of his groundbreaking novel WHITE JAZZ, he determined to return to Los Angeles and, with the help of veteran detective Bill Stoner, attempt to solve the 38-year-old killing. The result is one of the few classics of crime non-fiction and autobiography to appear in the last few decades; a hypnotic trip to America's underbelly and one man's tortured soul.

Download or read book Coming Out of a Dark Place written by Felicia Holland and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Coming Out of a Dark Place" is a must read for you or someone you know who is walking through a devastating situation at the hand of someone they love. This book has the ability to give you the hope as well as the tools needed to not just survive the pain, but to help you become whole. A timely lesson, lived and walked out by the author. I know, because I watched it first-hand. Felicia's story has unfortunately played out in many lives; but her ability to experience a pain so devastating that it could rock your sanity and then be able to come back, in itself is incredible. But then to add the ability to tell just enough of the experience to bring her reader to the depth of this pain, then flip the switch and equally walk you through the "power of forgiveness" is a sheer work of the Master Himself, showing us all what it means when He said he would turn your "ashes into glory." Felicia's experience has made her truly empathetic to the suffering of another having walked in those shoes. Her willingness to allow God to bring her out of that dark place has clothed her with an anointing to bring deliverance to those who find themselves walking a similar road. The added bonus of this story is, you don't have to put yourself clearly in these pages. This read is both a book and life-book that will assist you in your life's journey.
