Download or read book The Princess of 42nd Street written by Romola Hodas and published by Riverdale Avenue Books LLC. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eldest daughter of the Times Square “King of Porn,” Romola Hodas recounts her chaotic childhood amid the turmoil of publically growing up as the daughter of the man who almost single-handedly built New York City’s pornography and adult entertainment empire from the 1960s to the 1980s before his spectacular and public fall from grace. Behind the salacious headlines, Marty’s family paid a terrible price. In her shockingly honest, no-holds-barred memoir, Romola describes hanging out as a child in her father’s porn shops on 42nd Street and meeting the eclectic clientele who frequented the stores, making friends with the girls who performed live sex acts on stage, and spying on her parents’ sex orgies and crazy all-night swinger parties. Romola relates, in moving detail, how she cared for her three younger siblings when her brilliant, bipolar mother broke with reality, and how she survived verbal, physical, and emotional abuse; a year in reform school; her father’s three stints in prison; two kidnapping attempts by the mob (one while at summer fat camp); and how her baby brother, Jarrett, actually was briefly kidnapped by mobsters wanting to send Marty Hodas a clear, unambiguous message. For all its darkness, The Princess of 42nd Street is, at its heart, an uplifting and inspirational story of how one young woman overcame incredible odds to become a successful businesswoman who now devotes her life to helping others. Raw, unflinching, and devoid of self-pity, The Princess of 42nd Street is a one-of-a-kind story.

Download or read book An Untold Story written by Robert C. Pelfrey and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-01-25 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there more to life? Is there more to me? Is it all worth it? What does it mean to be one with God, and what does that have to do with the mess and challenges of everyday life? These are some of the issues addressed in An Untold Story as it follows the mystical-heroic quest to find our true selves. In coming to a better understanding of what it is to be a hero and what it is to be a mystic, we come to a better understanding of what it is to be ourselves. The stories are connected. The classic hero’s journey of myth and legend is at the heart of the mystical journey to life with God. And together they show the way to our true selves and our true stories. With the guidance of mystical theologian John of Ruusbroec and other teachers, and with help from many favorite heroic stories and characters, An Untold Story presents a path of spiritual formation that is at once epic and everyday, fantastical and practical, otherworldly and ordinary. This is a guide for any would-be mystic-hero longing for their own wondertale to no longer be an untold story.

Download or read book Hungry Souls written by Gerard J. M. van den Aardweg and published by TAN Books. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a week of hearing ghostly noises, a man is visited in his home by the spirit of his mother, dead for three decades. She reproaches him for his dissolute life and begs him to have Masses said in her name. Then she lays her hand on his sleeve, leaving an indelible burn mark, and departs... A Lutheran minister, no believer in Purgatory, is the puzzled recipient of repeated visitations from "demons" who come to him seeking prayer, consolation, and refuge in his little German church. But pity for the poor spirits overcomes the man's skepticism, and he marvels at what kind of departed souls could belong to Christ and yet suffer still... Hungry Souls recounts these stories and many others trustworthy, Church-verified accounts of earthly visitations from the dead in Purgatory. Accompanying these accounts are images from the "Museum of Purgatory" in Rome, which contains relics of encounters with the Holy Souls, including numerous evidences of hand prints burned into clothing and books; burn marks that cannot be explained by natural means or duplicated by artificial ones. Riveting!

This clever and witty debut follows a fictitious princess whose royal advisor is a mechanic who takes his advice from Bruce Springsteen. Spunky, plucky Isabella Cordage has taken Bisbania's royal family by storm, having fallen in love with the Prince. But being the wife to the heir to the throne is a complicated matter, and Isabella's every aching misstep soon earns her the title "Dizzy Izzy." Determined to find herself a trustworthy adviser, she enlists her former car mechanic Geoffrey and brings him and his wife to live with them in Bisbania. Under Geoffrey's tutelage, which comes in the form of Bruce Springsteen lyrics, Isabella becomes the model of everything good and chic -- until tragedy strikes: an airplane piloted by Geoffrey, with the Prince as passenger, crashes, and only one body washes ashore. This contemporary fairy tale sports surprising secrets, hidden identities, and an anonymous narrator whose personal stake in revealing the story is gradually exposed.
