Book excerpt: On the day of Ling Xi's wedding, Ye Yao had died miserably in his home. Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes and went back to the year she was 18, she still hadn't fallen in love with Ling Xi. This is really ... Great. She could finally take back everything that belonged to her and take back the Ye Family without worrying about anyone else. She could unrestrainedly take revenge on those dregs that had hurt her, become the most dazzling star, then turn to that handsome little fresh meat that flew into the sky and escaped into the ground, and talk about a sweet love life and death that would never change. "You want to fall in love with Fresh Meat, huh?" Ye Jiayao's mouth was dry from being slammed into the wall by a man. The man's voice was deep and sexy, full of danger. "You can't look for anyone else except me." In his previous life, there were two things that Ye Yao was most afraid of. One was Ling Tingxiao, and the other was Ling Tingxiao after dark. In this life, she ... Still scared.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a story you’ll love and never forget."—Christopher McDougall, author, Born to Run and Natural Born Heroes Aside from her rock star looks, Catra Corbett is a standout in the running world on her accomplishments alone. Catra is the first American woman to run over one hundred miles or more on more than one hundred occasions and the first to run one hundred and two hundred miles in the Ohlone Wilderness, and she holds the fastest known double time for the 425-miles long John Muir Trail, completing it in twelve days, four hours, and fifty-seven minutes. And, unbelievably, she's also a former meth addict. After two years of addiction, Catra is busted while selling, and a night in jail is enough to set her straight. She gives up drugs and moves back home with her mother, abandoning her friends, her boyfriend, and the lifestyle that she came to depend on. Her only clean friend pushes her to train for a 10K with him, and surprisingly, she likes it—and decides to run her first marathon after that. In Reborn on the Run, the reader keeps pace with Catra as she runs through difficult terrain and extreme weather, is stalked by animals in the wilderness, and nearly dies on a training run but continues on, smashing running records and becoming one of the world's best ultrarunners. Along the way she attempts suicide, loses loved ones, falls in love, has her heartbroken, meets lifelong friends including her running partner and dachshund TruMan, and finally faces the past that led to her addiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Sutherland, the narrator and protagonist of this memoir has, you might say, led a charmed life in the face of seeming damnation. A confirmed alcoholic in his early teens, by his twenties he was PA and bodyguard to the Hollywood stars most notably Michael Stipe, Ru Paul and Mickey Rourke. His work took him to exotic destinations around the world and bizarre encounters and requests. It also led him back to a smorgasbord of lethal addictions: alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy and perhaps most damaging of all crystal meth and the crazed chem sex that characterises its use. On the shores of death's coastline, a nine stone skeleton in a frame that once boasted the shape and tone of a bodybuilder, Jack is saved. By his father, one of the literary world's most esteemed personalities: John Sutherland.A son's memoir told through the prism and prose of a father will surely take its place among the classics of contemporary addiction and recovery stories like A Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man and Another Bullshit Night in Suck City. Stars, Cars & Crystal Meth lifts the lid on the shadow world of the Hollywood PA with grim but ultimately inspiring honesty.

Download or read book Parallel Universes written by David B. Bohl and published by Henschelhaus Publishing, Incorporated. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this poignant and powerful memoir, David B. Bohl reveals the inner turmoil and broad spectrum of warring emotions--shame, anger, triumph, shyness, pride--he experienced growing up as a "relinquished" boy. Adopted at birth by a prosperous family, Bohl battled throughout his earlier years to keep up a good front and surpass expectations as he tried desperately to fit in. An over-achiever at everything he undertook, whether in sailing, academics, or life as a trader on the Chicago Exchange floor, he continued his search for happiness, often finding it in a bottle or pill, and ultimately becoming a raging and wealthy alcoholic. Not until David marries and has children of his own does he feel compelled to search for his birth parents to discover if genetics played a role in the well-being of his offspring. "Baby Boy Bender," as he was labeled in the adoption papers, had been born to a red-haired co-ed who struggled with alcoholism and an athlete who later died of a brain tumor. After several severe seizures and frequent blackouts, it was time to make a drastic change and admit his addiction. Raised with no religious teachings, David struggled with traditional recovery fellowships and sought out secular supports, where he finally fit in. This support allowed him to learn the stark facts about mental health and addiction, as well as the monumental issues many "relinquishees" need to overcome to find peace and a quality of life they deserve.

Download or read book The Addiction Process written by Bob Colonna and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-11-20 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book came out of a series of lectures given to participants in a chemical dependency treatment program. It is a provocative and powerful book that illuminates the hypocrisies and inequities in the laws and values in our society surrounding alcohol and other drug use, abuse, and addiction. These inequities stem from the lack of knowledge of the underlying addiction process on the part of our institutions and the general public. The author challenges the very foundation of our cultural values and shows us how these values give birth to an addiction process that permeates thinking throughout our family, religious, governmental, and educational institutions. This distorted thought system perpetuates a state of fear which polarizes society in an us against them mentality, and an attitude of any means justify the end

Book excerpt: The first book in the New York Times bestselling epic fantasy trilogy by award-winning author Laini Taylor Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

This is the definitive story of what really happened to Amy Winehouse.
