Download or read book Square Squire and the Journey to Dreamstate written by Duane Filer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Square Squire and the Journey to DreamState, my 394-page, 96,729-word novel, is a semiautobiographical story of growing up geeky in the last innocent time when all the basketball players had hopes and none of the gangs had guns. Squire Brooks is a precocious nerd whose only awareness of the transitions in his neighborhood of Compton, California, in the 60s is the opportunity to chuck stones at the increasing number of For Sale signs in the yards of his white neighbors. His fathers deepening involvement in civil rights creates increasing chaos in his home, where Squire writes his short stories and daydreams. Adolescence brings peer-driven lessons about girls, puberty, girls, bullies, and girls as he navigates the temptations during his elementary, junior high, and high school years. Squires daydreaming has developed into an imaginative mechanism that frees his mind from all the chaos and allows him to escape to a dream state whenever he writes. After graduating from high school and on a road trip with his dog, Julius, Squire meets Octavia Steves, who teaches him that his dream state is actually a form of meditation that could help him become the writer of his dreams.
Download or read book Madisin written by Mion Ng and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-21 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time they reach eighteen, Joni and Caycee have been best friends their entire lives—growing up at each other’s houses, as close as sisters. But everything changes when Joni’s grandmother, who raised her, dies, and Lewis comes to town. Within a few months, Joni has left to go to college hundreds of miles away without even saying goodbye to Caycee, who is left behind, bewildered, hurt, and aching with loneliness. Not even being married to Lewis and carrying his child can fill the hole left by Joni’s mysterious departure and subsequent silence. When their premature baby dies, Lewis’s lack of love for Caycee and their very different reactions become clear—and finding an infant girl named Madisin left on their doorstep only complicates matters further. In the same marriage and under the same roof, they live vastly different emotional lives. Only years later, when tragedy strikes Caycee and Lewis again and Joni is persuaded to return, is the truth about Joni’s disappearance brought to light. She and Caycee are finally reconciled, but with consequences far greater than anyone could have imagined. This novel, woven together in the voices of its five main characters, reveals the complexity of human nature in its portrayal of fierce love, searing grief, self-hatred, surprising tenderness, and attraction that survives even while it destroys. In the end, one question remains: in a world where intentions don’t always have the expected outcomes, should the truth prevail in every situation, regardless of the cost?

Download or read book Centered Riding 2 written by Sally Swift and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centered Riding is not a style of riding as are dressage, hunter seat, or Western. Rather, it is a way of reeducating a rider’s mind and body to achieve greater balance in order to better communicate with the horse. Founder Sally Swift revolutionized riding by showing that good use of the human body makes a world of difference on horseback. Early in her work, she established what she calls the “Four Basics” — centering, breathing, soft eyes, and building blocks—which, together with grounding, are the main tenets of her method. When a rider learns and maintains these basics, then harmony between horse and human is possible. Sally Swift’s first book, Centered Riding, made its revolutionary appearance in 1985 and continues as one of the best-selling horse books of all time. This second book doesn't replace the first one, it complements it. In the intervening years, Centered Riding continued to evolve, and Sally inevitably developed many new concepts and fresh imagery, all of which are presented here.

Download or read book My Dad s Funnier than Your Dad written by Kelly Conway and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comic and television star Tim Conway (The Carol Burnett Show, McHale's Navy, Dorf) enjoyed enormous popular appeal. In this humorous, loving, and surprising memoir, Tim's eldest of his six children, Kelly, reveals that the Conway home life was as riotous as some of her father's legendary comedy sketches. Kelly Conway allows readers an intimate look at an American childhood set in 1970s and 80s Los Angeles, from the studios of CBS to the racetrack of Santa Anita Park where her father taught his kids the art of horse betting. Tim Conway took his hilarious creativity off the set to the family home, where he acted as the ringmaster to six unruly lion cubs—and often lit the fuse of their short-tempered mother, Mary Anne. Kelly takes us through the fascinating world of entertainment from the lens of her dad’s television stardom to her own career in costume design and wardrobe styling, using the lessons her father taught her about holding her own in the often cruel world of show business. But it’s not until Kelly realizes that she must find the courage to fight for her dad when he faces a devastating life change that her steadfast commitment to him becomes clear—although it will mean losing lifelong relationships, and at times, facing harsh criticism. My Dad's Funnier Than Your Dad is Kelly’s love letter to her father, an account of the warm, laugh-filled world of her childhood. And when life brings sadness instead of smiles, it’s the mutual respect and fierce devotion that Kelly shares with her famous father which ultimately defines the true meaning of love.

Download or read book The Sands of Tybee Island written by C. Michael and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sands of Tybee Island, though written as a novel, is based on a true story. The story is about the year that I was going through the transition from being a little boy into being a teenager. It's about how my daddy balanced out my mother's parental alienation through her hostile, aggressive style of parenting. The story tells how Daddy and Mr. Andrew's treatment of me prevented serious damage to my mental and emotional well-being. During these years of conflicting treatment by my parents, I became vulnerable to mental manipulation and bulling by Mother during my early years as a child. I often felt that I was the problem. I saw Mother as my enemy, to be feared, hated, and avoided. My years as a child were disturbing, confusing, and often very frightening to me. I was robbed of a sense of security and safety. As it turned out, in 1957 I was also moving from boyhood into the beginnings of becoming a man. This is not just my story but in many ways it's every young boy's story. It's the story of the men who had a tremendous influence on my early development and the men in the lives of other young boys and the role they play in helping maturity come about. So you men who may read this book, be aware of the shadow you cast in the young lives around you.
