Book excerpt: In this international bestselling thriller, a former teacher delivers her final lesson to her students—including the two children that murdered her daughter. After calling off her engagement in the wake of a tragic revelation, Yuko Moriguchi had nothing to live for except her only child, four-year-old child, Manami. Now, following an accident on the grounds of the middle school where she teaches, Yuko has given up and tendered her resignation. But first she has one last lecture to deliver. She tells a story that upends everything her students ever thought they knew about two of their peers, and sets in motion a diabolical plot for revenge. Narrated in alternating voices, with twists you'll never see coming, Confessions probes the limits of punishment, despair, and tragic love, culminating in a harrowing confrontation between teacher and student that will place the occupants of an entire school in danger. You'll never look at a classroom the same way again.

Download or read book Angel Just Rights written by Rebecca Parkerpeglerpegler and published by Chipmunkapublishing ltd. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DescriptionAngel Just-Rights tells of a plethora of mortifyingly unhealthy, demoralising, ritualistic and compelling behaviours that manifest deeply in a fragile life so touched by the world around her. This is an exclusive account, based on the remarkable and true story of Rebecca Parker (also known as Micci), the Protagonist and Author. Laugh! Shout! Cry, as we're finally invited to join this incredible quest for freedom. Delving into issues relating to everyday living such as dealing with strict family values, loyalty and devotion, the author intermittently riddles with her reader in efforts to gain the yearned-for rationality and reassurance she so desperately seeks. During chaotic deciphering, Parker encounters incongruence in evaluations as, how can implicitly pure intentions - living life selflessly protecting those you love - precipitate such devastating results? Parker gradually learns how coping in silence can cruelly fester, hastening devastating consequences: severe eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia), post-traumatic stresses and flash-backs, self-harm and suicidal desires, problems with extreme over-exercise and increasing obsessions, rituals, distorted beliefs leading to incredibly debilitating episodes of low self-esteem, depression, hospitalisations, sectioning under the Mental Health Act and associated inequitable treatments enforced.

Download or read book Guerrillas in the Midst written by Dean McCrary and published by Papyrus & Pen Publishing. This book was released on 2006-04-27 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flight lessons and military training weren't needed this time as twenty-five suburban movie theaters scattered throughout the Eastern United States mysteriously exploded in an apparent synchronized attack, killing hundreds of Americans.While the world struggles to understand how the United States with all of its technological superiority could again fall prey to domestic terror. Federal investigator, Jack Neil, of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force uncovers a link to a dead drug addict and wonders what it could mean. Kevin MacAfee knows; he is a recently released convict and unsuspecting pawn in the mass murder perpetrated by a group calling themselves UMYA, the United Muslim Youth Association, led by Mustapha Aziz the son of a high ranking Jordanian diplomat, and brother to Najla Aziz, Kevin MacAfee's beautiful, but naive girlfriend. It was Kevin MacAfee who revealed the discontentment among America's neglected and underprivileged citizenry, showing Najla and Mustapha first-hand how homeless, inner-city, drug-addicted vagabonds willingly sell their prized U.S. credentials often for as little as ten dollars. A seemingly insignificant action until Mustapha Aziz devises a clandestine plan enabling fifty of his UMYA operatives to anonymously sow terror on U.S. soil using the purchased identities. The movie theater bombings were just the prelude in the fall of the Great Satan as twenty-five teams comprised of two members each spread out along the east coast as part of phase two of UMYA's diabolical plan to simultaneously bomb twenty-five major hotels in twenty-five major eastern U.S. cities. Only two people in the World know the secret identities of the operatives; Kevin MacAfee is one of them. Agent Jack Neil of the JTTF wishes he was the other, and is frantically racing against time and hope itself to find and apprehend Mr. MacAfee in his effort to prevent the death of thousands of unsuspecting American citizens. UMYA's minions are searching for MacAfee too. He is the weak link that could undermine their bid to exploit America's newfound vulnerability in their quest to expose the myth that is American power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tightly woven, atmospheric, suspense-filled mystery, featuring a heroic yet flawed investigator trying to find a Dark Priest and his coven of witches before they unleash the demons of hell. A disturbingly successful string of thefts of ancient, religious artifacts from Catholic churches in the New England area has left police baffled. Then a priest gets a call from one of the thieves, offering the arifacts back for a considerable ransom. James MacBridan and the Hawthorne Group are called in by the archbishop to handle this most delicate situation. The thief and MacBridan meet, but they are not alone. Something else has been waiting for them, something dark and terrifying. The simple exchange ends violently, leaving MacBridan unconscious and the thief brutally murdered. MacBridan sets off to find the the Cross of St. Patrick, the most important of the stolen artifacts, but soon finds himself up against an enemy more ruthless and more deadly than he has ever faced before. The body count and the terror continue to rise the closer he gets, all in a place where no one is who they appear to be. In James Parker's The Dark Side of the Cross, MacBridan finds that in order to survive he will have to lean on a faith that he has long since cast aside.

Download or read book Crawfish Bottom written by Douglas Boyd and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small neighborhood in northern Frankfort, Kentucky, Crawfish Bottom was located on fifty acres of swampy land along the Kentucky River. “Craw’s” reputation for vice, violence, moral corruption, and unsanitary conditions made it a target for urban renewal projects that replaced the neighborhood with the city’s Capital Plaza in the mid-1960s. Douglas A. Boyd’s Crawfish Bottom: Recovering a Lost Kentucky Community traces the evolution of the controversial community that ultimately saw four-hundred families displaced. Using oral histories and firsthand memories, Boyd not only provides a record of a vanished neighborhood and its culture but also demonstrates how this type of study enhances the historical record. A former Frankfort police officer describes Craw’s residents as a “rough class of people, who didn’t mind killing or being killed.” In Crawfish Bottom, the former residents of Craw acknowledge the popular misconceptions about their community but offer a richer and more balanced view of the past.

Download or read book Cosmos and Republic written by Wolfgang R. Heuer and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 20 essays inspired by Hannah Arendt's analysis of crisis-ridden modernity, Wolfgang R. Heuer addresses aspects of depoliticization and the loss of politics, and thus of freedom. The wide-ranging essays are grouped in five sections: When Politics Vanishes, The Call of Responsibility, Images and Emotions, Federations, and From Plurality to Cosmos. They lead to the insight that the crises of our time require a common change of perspective towards ecological and political sustainability, the unity of »Cosmos and Republic«.

Download or read book Honouring High Places written by Junko Tabei and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of personal stories and reflections based on the memoirs of Junko Tabei, the first woman to climb Mount Everest and the Seven Summits. Honouring High Places is a compelling collection of highlights from Junko Tabei's stirring life that she considered important, inspiring and interesting to mountaineering culture. Until now, her works have been available only in Japanese, and RMB is honoured to be sharing these profound and moving stories with the English-speaking world for the first time. The collection opens on Mount Everest, where the first all-women's expedition is met with disaster but pushes on against all odds. The story then shifts to the early years of Tabei's life and reflects on her countryside childhood as a frail girl with no talent for sport, and cultural expectations that ignored her passion for mountains. With reminiscences of the early days of female climbers on Everest, the deaths of fellow mountaineers, Tabei's pursuit of Mount Tomur, a cancer diagnosis, and efforts to restore a love for nature in the surviving youth of the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011, this beautifully curated collection of essays captures the essence of a notable time and the strength of character of one of the 20th and 21st centuries' female mountaineering pioneers.
