Those were the thoughts of two groups of friends who were successful in each of their chosen professions when they decide to embark on a 10-day cruise. However, the cruise turns out to be more than just a sail-abration when secrets are revealed, and Cupid is playing the background Courtney and Marlon seem to have this bond where they can't stay away from each other.

Adrian and Delon have no problem with just being vacation baes, or so they thought. When the heart wants what it wants, the brain will never win. Heidi and Keno seem to be polar opposites, but yet so much alike. They matched each other's fly and grind, yet they fought the inevitable. Heidi was the soft spot that tamed his wildness while Keon was the protector she didn't know she needed. Tianna and Jakkar appear to not have a care in the world and were living life on the edge. However, their decisions come back in a major way and left them wondering if they will be able to bounce back. Take a ride with Author Toy as she shows you how it is when you're “Luvin a Virginia Street King.”

Book excerpt: What if your life didn't go on as it's programmed to, restarting at specific times in your past, repeatedly? What if Ken Grimwood's unparalleled novel, Replay, turned out to be reality?

Louis finds himself in such a predicament, leaping back into his past, struggling to comprehend what's happening to him.

Dedicated to Ken Grimwood and ultimately to longtime travel, this novel tries to intimate and cope with many of its inherent problems, especially death and immortality, two extremes that seem to lack a common ground.

Download or read book Welcome to Wherever We Are written by Deborah J. Cohan and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Memoir Prize for Books - Caregiving category​ ESS Public Sociology Award​ Recommended Book in Domestic Violence by DomesticShelters.org How do you go about caregiving for an ill and elderly parent with a lifelong history of abuse and control, intertwined with expressions of intense love and adoration? How do you reconcile the resulting ambivalence, fear, and anger? Welcome to Wherever We Are is a meditation on what we hold onto, what we let go of, how we remember others and ultimately how we’re remembered. Deborah Cohan shares her story of caring for her father, a man who was simultaneously loud, gentle, loving and cruel and whose brilliant career as an advertising executive included creating slogans like “Hey, how ‘bout a nice Hawaiian punch?” Wrestling with emotional extremes that characterize abusive relationships, Cohan shows how she navigated life with a man who was at once generous and affectionate, creating magical coat pockets filled with chocolate kisses when she was a little girl, yet who was also prone to searing, vicious remarks like “You’d make my life easier if you’d commit suicide.” In this gripping memoir, Cohan tells her unique personal story while also weaving in her expertise as a sociologist and domestic abuse counselor to address broader questions related to marriage, violence, divorce, only children, intimacy and loss. A story most of us can relate to as we reckon with past and future choices against the backdrop of complicated family dynamics, Welcome to Wherever We Are is about how we might come to live our own lives better amidst unpredictable changes through grief and healing.

Download or read book Surviving the Survivor written by Joel Z. Waldman and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Karmela’s story is moving and inspirational, and one every young person should be reminded of.” —Mitch Albom, Author of The Little Liar Karmela Waldman is an eighty-something psychotherapist and Holocaust survivor. Her son, Joel Waldman, is a successful broadcast journalist. After a discontented Joel chooses to leave his network-news job, he gets a crazy idea for the next step in his career: What if he and his elderly mom did a podcast together? The two embark on creating a show together and name it Surviving the Survivor. Things get off to a bumpy start as the lovingly dysfunctional mother-son duo struggle to figure out the art of podcasting on the fly—sometimes feuding, sometimes laughing, and finally mastering the format and watching Surviving the Survivor break out as a wildly popular true-crime hit. Along the way, the two discover things about each other that they never knew. Joel is stunned to learn that Karmela survived World War II by hiding in a boys’ Catholic school. Karmela also sheds light on the emotional struggles she endured when Joel’s older brother, Rami, died of an incurable illness. She’s also struggling with the inevitable loss of her husband of sixty-three years, which she describes as the most difficult experience of her life. Mastering podcasting is one thing; figuring out the meaning of life is a challenge of an entirely different order. In real time and “on air,” mother and son engage frankly and movingly with each other for the first time as adults, discussing child-rearing, aging, illness, death, and the secrets to enjoying life no matter how complicated it gets.

Download or read book Waiting for Buddy Guy written by Alan Harper and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1970s and early 1980s, British blues fan Alan Harper became a transatlantic pilgrim to Chicago. "I've come here to listen to the blues," he told an American customs agent at the airport, and listen he did, to the music in its many styles, and to the men and women who lived it in the city's changing blues scene. Harper's eloquent memoir conjures the smoky redoubts of men like harmonica virtuoso Big Walter Horton and pianist Sunnyland Slim. Venturing from stageside to kitchen tables to the shotgun seat of a 1973 Eldorado, Harper listens to performers and others recollect memories of triumphs earned and chances forever lost, of deep wells of pain and soaring flights of inspiration. Harper also chronicles a time of change, as an up-tempo, whites-friendly blues eclipsed what had come before, and old Southern-born black players held court one last time before an all-conquering generation of young guitar aces took center stage.
