Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At seventeen, Adam Rhodes is famous, living on his own, and in a downward spiral since he lost the girl he loved. Marybeth—stage name Sunshine—was his best friend from the days they were foster kids; then she was his girlfriend and his band mate. But since her accidental death, he's been drinking to deal with the memories. Until one day, an unexpected visitor, Dr. Elloran, presents Adam with a proposition that just might save him from himself. Using breakthrough cloning and memory-implantation techniques, Dr. Elloran and the scientists at Project Orpheus want to resurrect Marybeth, and they need Adam to "donate" intimate memories of his life with her. The memory retrieval process forces Adam to relive his life with Marybeth and the devastating path that brought them both to fame. Along the way, he must confront not only the circumstances of her death but also his growing relationship with the mysterious Genevieve, daughter of Project Orpheus's founder. As the process sweeps Adam and Marybeth ever closer to reliving the tragedy that destroyed them, Adam must decide how far he'll go to save her.

Book excerpt: Morecambe and Wise - the most famous and best-loved British comedy double-act of all time. In this unique book, Eric Morecambe's son Gary sheds new light on the comic geniuses who became the nation's best friends. Gary reveals what it was like behind the scenes, with touching and hilarious stories of life in the Morecambe and Wise family homes, along with memories from Eric's wife Joan and his daughter (and Ernie's goddaughter) Gail, who has never written about her father before. From a working class music hall act in their early career to their show becoming the nation's greatest TV entertainment from the late 1960s until the early 1980s, Eric and Ernie were not just mass audience television stars, but national treasures whose popularity endures. Gary recalls conversations with his dad and Ernie that paints a vivid portrait of two men who loved each other like brothers, as well as bringing to life the major characters who impacted Morecambe and Wise's lives. Gary's conversations with high-profile fans today, from Ben Miller and Bob Golding, to Jonathan Ross and Miranda Hart, provide a fascinating look at why Morecambe and Wise remain so popular now, their impact on today's most recognisable double acts, and how Eric and Ernie continue to be a part of so many families' Christmas traditions. Sweet and funny, touching and poignant, these untold stories and anecdotes let us get to know the two men who became the biggest British comedy act of all time, with the authority that only family can. This is the ultimate book for Morecambe and Wise fans, celebrating their days in the sunshine, now and forever.
Download or read book The Sunshine Land written by David Wedd and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-02-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, David Wedd was a young army officer in West Africas Gold Coast, when that country became Ghana, the first black African colony to gain independence from British rule. In an account that is by turns exciting, funny and poignant, he depicts the changeover from the inside. His lively portrait of the emerging nation introduces us to a whole gallery of characters: the European and African soldiers in his Battalion; traders and market women; religious leaders and witch-doctors; sportsmen, teachers and musicians; and political leaders, including Ghanas first Prime Minister, Kwame Nkrumah. He tells of his work as an intelligence officer in the new nation and his exploration of the rain forest with its exotic scenery and wildlife, and he shares with us his journey north, through Burkina Faso and Mali to the Sahara Desert and the old town of Timbuktu. Throughout these pages his love of West Africa, with its varied landscapes and above all its exuberant people, is inescapable.

Download or read book Quest for Eternal Sunshine written by Mendek Rubin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quest for Eternal Sunshine chronicles the triumphant, true story of Mendek Rubin, a brilliant inventor who overcame both the trauma of the Holocaust and decades of unrelenting depression to live a life of deep peace and boundless joy. Born into a Hassidic Jewish family in Poland in 1924, Mendek grew up surrounded by extreme anti-Semitism. Armed with an ingenious mind, he survived three horrific years in Nazi slave-labor concentration camps while virtually his entire family was murdered in Auschwitz. After arriving in America in 1946—despite having no money or professional skills—his inventions helped revolutionize both the jewelry and packaged-salad industries. Remarkably, Mendek also applied his ingenuity to his own psyche, developing innovative ways to heal his heart and end his emotional suffering. After Mendek died in 2012, his daughter, Myra Goodman, found an unfinished manuscript in which he’d revealed the intimate details of his healing journey. Quest for Eternal Sunshine—the extraordinary result of a posthumous father-daughter collaboration—tells Mendek’s whole story and is filled with eye-opening revelations, effective self-healing techniques, and profound wisdom that have the power to transform the way we live our lives. An inspirational biography of a Holocaust survivor overcoming depression and PTSD. An essential new addition to Jewish Holocaust history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepare to be entertained by these recollections of the misadventures of a young girl growing up in semi-rural and urban Jamaica in the 1960s. ‘Shadows and Sunshine’ takes you back to a magical time when children found pleasure in their own inventions, when the world was simple and enchanting, and childhood perceptions often resulted in amusing distortions of reality. Each adventure is a mixture of mischief, magic, and wonder, from bungling a simple baby-sitting task to escaping from a machete-wielding madman. If you remember the rolling calf, the nanny goat, or your obsession with mangoes, or if you would like to know more about these things, read on. “With its elements of fantasy and its skillful use of language to create vivid images, ‘Shadows and Sunshine’ will appeal to teens and adults alike.” —Seleca Walker, Language and Communications Lecturer at Mico University College, Jamaica. “The childlike maturity O’Sullivan-Roque brings to her stories is enhanced by the refreshing way in which she uses imagery.” — Joan F. Joyner, retired Judge. “These brilliantly written stories of innocence and intrigue will capture your imagination.” —Mark Schack, Executive Vice President of Oldcastle Inc., former President and CEO of Oldcastle Precast Inc.

Book excerpt: Noreen's first memories are of life on a farm in Kiltartan, County Galway, where her love affair with words and stories began. Neighbours, friends and relations are brought vividly to life in these pages and we see how the things she experienced and the people she met have moulded her. A past, which has all but disappeared, is relived in her keen observations and her tales will stir one's own memories of early childhood.Noreen, from an early age, knew that she wanted to travel, to live in different cultures and to form lasting bonds with the places and people she encountered. Having no set plan, instead she relied on her own intuition. This led her to teaching in Africa as a volunteer, then to living and working in France (using a language that she had been told she would never master), on to India, where she was to meet her husband, and finally to Switzerland. Throughout her life, those lessons learned in childhood have sustained her.
