Book excerpt: Chants of "Whack 'em! Whack 'em!" signal the creation of the University Anti-Corruption Movement (UACM)-a movement that will find itself in the center of a tempest, including a financial scandal and a tragic act of violence that ends up galvanizing an entire city, state, and nation.

Download or read book Love First written by Cece Savage and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With diabolical characters, real struggles, and profound emotions, Love First is inspired from true events and address the journey of young Sheila as she grows into adulthood. It is a coming-of-age story about the struggles of trying to survive in an abusive household, making it out, and finding yourself falling back into the same patterns you once wished to avoid. It is a strikingly dark narrative of the struggles of African American families in America and the unintended prejudices that come with it. Sheila learns to struggle through harassment, physical abuse, emotional manipulation, teenage pregnancy, and multiple betrayals. Sheila is the focal point, but Love First poignantly describes how parents have a huge hand in helping children grow into better, or worse, adults. It also describes the story how three girls Sheila, Lita and Sarah, despite growing up in the same environment, all go on their own drastically different paths. One things is for sure, if Sheila wants to make it out, she cannot stay pure and innocent. She must fight fire with fire. She grows, from strong-willed, good-intentioned, albeit slightly gullible, young woman into a fierce adult who vows to fight for her children till the very end. Unfortunately, through the process, she becomes the very thing that she wholeheartedly despises. Her mother.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Even as a reporter, Sheila Hamilton missed the signs as her husband David's mental illness unfolded before her. By the time she had pieced together the puzzle, it was too late. Her once brilliant, intense, and passionate partner was dead within six weeks of a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, leaving his nine-year-old daughter and wife without so much as a note to explain his actions, a plan to help them recover from their profound grief, or a solution for the hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that they would inherit from him. All the Things We Ner Knew details the unsettling descent from ordinary life into the world of mental illness, and examines the fragile line between reality and madness." --

Her sister Toni is ready for a change, too.

But as they all discover, sometimes life simply happens. It doesn’t always happen simply! Originally published in 2014

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johnny Duggan joined a bank in the newly independent country of Zambia, and soon found that life in Africa was quite different to that back in England.

Download or read book Tall Grows the Grass written by James F Frayne and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This version contains numerous photographs for an enhanced reader experience. Johnny Duggan was born around the outbreak of World War II. Johnny's story follows his trials and tribulations, his loves and assignations, and his challenges and conflicts, as he moves through the long grass of life from one job to another, through one country to another. He is forced to change his outlook to life many times through his experiences in Africa, Europe, and the USA, as well as the variety of people with whom he comes into contact. In many places, the story is very confrontational and hard hitting, and takes no prisoners. It is not a story for the daunted, nor those who are not prepared to accept the stark, bare, exposed realities of life.

Still, Betsie is convinced she can keep things from falling apart completely. Then during her best friend's wedding, tragedy strikes and her world is upended.

Download or read book Buying and Selling the Poor written by Siobhan O'Sullivan and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buying and Selling the Poor ventures behind the scenes of the multibillion-dollar welfare-to-work system, offering new insights into how Australia responds to unemployment and disadvantage. As the authors tell the story of four local employment offices, they paint a vivid picture of a critically important social service which many people are aware of but which few properly understand. They also reveal the wider impacts that processes of marketisation and welfare reform have had on these frontline services over decades, and how the work of frontline staff and service providers has been transformed. Buying and Selling the Poor looks closely at how these services operate, why some succeed where others fail, and what can be learned from the stories of staff and clients who have navigated the system. Three decades into this market experiment, how well are we doing in supporting our most vulnerable citizens to get back to work? 'This revealing, often heart-wrenching work will prove enlightening for not only those within the policy field, but also anyone with an interest in or experience dealing with a system that often feels like a race to the bottom.' - Kim Thomson, Books+Publishing
