The man she believed to have always loved has betrayed her and her enemy is back from the dead–hell must be too full to keep them. After unrevealing in court and being sent to prison she is attacked in her cell and then transferred to a psychiatric unit. She knows that her chances of survival are slim. When she finally looses all the hope, Micah shows up ready to help her escape. Tahlia is suddenly stuck between a rock and a hard place. Her hatred for him and his betrayal is fuelled by her love for him causing confusion and mixed emotions. He lied, cheated and mislead her in order to get what he wanted, and now he thinks he can fix everything. She has no other choice but to go with him. Escaping prison she is branded a mentally unstable fugitive on the run, finding herself living a life of isolation, trying to pick up the pieces and finally understanding her past, but still hiding her deepest secret away. Her enemy is slowly closing in on her and she doesn’t know how much time she has, before everything comes to a head, before the rat bastard gets his hands on her, before her world comes to an end.

Download or read book Skimming the Surface written by Justin Grinstead and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the mainsail's boom swung violently from port to starboard inches above his skull, Justin Grinstead started to think that a sailboat had not been the best choice of transport from New Zealand to Australia. After two days at sea, he found himself sailing into a bay filled with islands, at night, during a thunderstorm, covered in his own seasick vomit. Only two other people were on board, and one had just staged a mutiny. Sure, Justin could have flown to Australia and avoided boom-induced concussions, but that would have broken the rules. Half a year earlier, Justin decided that going on an adventure would be better than his established routine of waiting for more job application rejection letters. So, with less than $7500, he set off from Toronto and headed west with the goal of circumnavigating the world without flying. Over the next year, Justin travelled across five continents and two oceans without ever leaving the earth's surface. In addition to foolishly attempting to sail across the Tasman Sea, he took a container ship across the Pacific, stood at the base of Mt. Everest, had his life threatened by a bloody-handed Mongolian acrobat, rode the rails of the Trans-Siberian railway, and hitch-hiked through Baltic rainstorms. Skimming the Surface follows this cheapskate as he stumbles towards completing his global challenge.

Download or read book river woman written by Katherena Vermette and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governor General’s Award–winning Métis poet and acclaimed novelist Katherena Vermette’s second collection, river woman, explores her relationship to nature — its destructive power and beauty, its timelessness, and its place in human history. Award-winning Métis poet and novelist Katherena Vermette’s second book of poetry, river woman, examines and celebrates love as decolonial action. Here love is defined as a force of reclamation and repair in times of trauma, and trauma is understood to exist within all times. The poems are grounded in what feels like an eternal present, documenting moments of clarity that lift the speaker (and reader) out of the illusion of linear experience. This is what we mean when we describe a work of art as being timeless. Like the river they speak to, these poems return again and again to the same source in search of new ways to reconstruct what has been lost. Vermette suggests that it’s through language and the body ― particularly through language as it lives inside the body ― that a fragmented self might resurface as once again whole. This idea of breaking apart and coming back together is woven throughout the collection as the speaker contemplates the ongoing negotiation between the city, the land, and the water, and as she finds herself falling into trust with the ones she loves. Vermette honours the river as a woman ― her destructive power and beauty, her endurance, and her stories. These poems sing from a place where “words / transcend ceremony / into everyday” and “nothing / is inanimate.”

Download or read book Curiosity s Mission on Mars written by Ron Miller and published by Twenty-First Century Books. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could life have previously flourished on Mars? Will humans be able to travel there one day? Can humans one day colonize the red planet? NASA scientists have been interested in answering questions like these for a long time. In November 2011, NASA sent the rover Curiosity to Earth's nearest planetary neighbor. By gathering information about Mars's climate and geology, the robot is helping scientists uncover the secrets of the planet and its past. Since its launch, Curiosity has made some amazing discoveries. The rover found an ancient streambed where water once flowed for thousands of years, and rock samples proved that the surface soil on Mars still has water! In addition, from drilling into Martian rock, the rover detected the key chemicals necessary for life?sulfur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and carbon. And Curiosity's measurement of radiation on Mars shows levels similar to that at the International Space Station. These discoveries suggest that some parts of Mars could have been habitable?and may be again in the future. Learn more about the red planet and see what else Curiosity has uncovered!
Download or read book Unquestioned Answers written by Jeff Myers and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We hear and say short Christian clichés all the time, such as “Jesus was a social justice warrior,” “Just have faith,” and “It’s not my place to judge.” These trite statements often go unquestioned. Sometimes they even substitute for truth, leading to a fragile and shallow faith. But what if a close study of these clichés could lead us to deep biblical truth? In Unquestioned Answers, Dr. Jeff Myers rethinks ten popular Christian clichés. Through an in-depth and fresh look, Myers shares insights into these overused statements to strengthen readers’ faith and encourage them to share Jesus with others. Walk with Myers on a path to biblical truth as he explores critical topics such as social justice, faith, sin, loving others, God’s goodness, prayer, and more.

Download or read book Skimming the Surface written by Billie Urabazo and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BY THE WAY has a double meaning. We use the phrase to mean "incidentally." It is those fortuitous random incidents, the micro, not the necessarily macro events that really make a life. The names, the surprises, the challenge of routine events yield a life of humor, improbabilities, achievement, and joy. You have heard it said, "The devil is in the details." True, but I have found that "God is in the details as well." The phrase "The Way" or the "Path" is planted in the Scriptures. "The Path of the Just." The "Way of the Righteous," The "Way of the Holiness." God's directions, the journey, the "Way to live." Early Christians, guarding their conversations, inquired "Are you on the Way?" How far up the Way are you?" Before the great love chapter (I Cor. 13), St. Paul says, "Now I will show you the most excellent way" (NIV). The WAY is revealed. Willis E. Snowbarger
Download or read book Transparent Things written by Maggie M. Williams and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For too long, the Earth has been used to ground thought instead of bending it; such grounding leaves the planet as nothing but a stage for phenomenology, deconstruction, or other forms of anthropocentric philosophy. In far too much continental philosophy, the Earth is a cold, dead place enlivened only by human thought--either as a thing to be exploited, or as an object of nostalgia. Geophilosophy seeks instead to question the ground of thinking itself, the relation of the inorganic to the capacities and limits of thought. This book constructs an eclectic variant of geophilosophy through engagements with digging machines, nuclear waste, cyclones and volcanoes, giant worms, secret vessels, decay, subterranean cities, hell, demon souls, black suns, and xenoarcheaology, via continental theory (Nietzsche, Schelling, Deleuze, et alia) and various cultural objects such as horror films, videogames, and weird Lovecraftian fictions, with special attention to Speculative Realism and the work of Reza Negarestani. In a time where the earth as a whole is threatened by ecological collapse, On an Ungrounded Earth generates a perversely realist account of the earth as a dynamic engine materially invading and upsetting our attempts to reduce it to merely the ground beneath our feet.
