Download or read book Augusta Gone written by Martha Tod Dudman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-04-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'm not telling you where I am. Don't try to find me." Remember Go Ask Alice? Augusta, Gone is the memoir Alice's mother never wrote. A single parent, Martha Tod Dudman is sure she is giving her two children the perfect life, sheltering them from the wild tumult of her own youth. But when Augusta turns fifteen, things start to happen: first the cigarette, then the blue pipe and the little bag Augusta says is aspirin. Just talking to her is like sticking your hand in the garbage disposal. Martha doesn't know if she's confronting adolescent behavior, craziness, her own failures as a parent -- or all three. Augusta, Gone is the story of a girl who is doing everything to hurt herself and a mother who would try anything to save her. It is a sorrowful tale, but not a tragic one. Though the book charts a harrowing course through the troubled waters of adolescence, hope -- that mother and daughter will be reunited and will learn to love one another again -- steers them toward a shore of forgiveness and redemption. Written with darkly seductive grace, Augusta, Gone conjures the dangerous thrill of being drawn into the heart of a whirling vortex. This daring book will be admired for its lyricism, applauded for its courage, and remembered for its power. It demands to be read from start to finish, in one breathless sitting.

Book excerpt: Survival!Yes survival!After thirty-four and a half years of physical, mental, verbal, sexual abuse, and yes-even incest, enough is enough! Thirty six year old Alyssa Montgomery is married and has one daughter. She knows there are things going on with herself that she cannot explain! Two years ago, Alyssa had gone to see Dr. Norma Price, a Psychologist who specialized in situations like Alyssa's. She didn't care much for Dr. Price, but she knows that she is the only one who has any knowledge of her family history and herself, so maybe she will give Alyssa one more chance to help her figure out what the hell is going on!Alyssa decided since she was already there, she would storm Dr. Price's office, going past the receptionist who tried to stop Alyssa from going back, and Alyssa slammed the doctor's office door open telling her that she would do whatever she said but that she needed help as of YESTERDAY! Dr. Price said; "Alyssa please take a seat in the lobby and I will be with you as soon as I can." Ten minutes later, Dr. Price opens her door and calls Alyssa back. As Alyssa is taking her seat Dr. Price is explaining to Alyssa; "I don't know if I can help you because you did not stick to our agreement for therapy before. How do I know you are serious now?" Alyssa pleaded; "I am so sorry for not coming back!" " I am sorry for not sticking to the commitment, but things are different now! I realize that I cannot fight this battle alone!" "I am scared to death I will do something I will forever regret and I don't want that to happen!" "Please Dr. Price, won't you help me?" "I can't take this abuse any more!" "I've had enough!"

Download or read book Augusta s Journal written by Ralph Crump and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings to a close our four volumes on the chronicled life of Augusta during a very turbulent and pivotal period in the History of the United States: the opening-up of the West, the question of whether slavery would prevail nationally with political attempts to legitimize it in the new territories, starting with Kansas; a serious depression brought on by over expansion of our then growth industry, the railroads; the explosive discoveries of gold in most of the Western Territories; one of the worst wars in our history to settle once and for all whether we were to be "one nation indivisible" with slavery or not. Augusta's original three bound journals, which I inherited, with some 2,000 entries, beginning before she was seventeen, records not only her personal and occasionally tragic involvement in all of these events, but the influence these events had on her life at the time. Her journal entries from 1857 to 1860 present a record of the founding (by her father and a few other abolitionists) the town of Eldorado, Kansas that is better and more authentic than any professional early history of the city we've seen. She described in detail these two or three-dozen mostly young pioneers that were willing to go far beyond the Frontier to establish a voting district free of proslavery domination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The land dropped abruptly down from the gate, and a thick, shrubby growth of young apple orchard almost hid the little weather-grey house from the road. This was why the young man who opened the sagging gate could not see that it was boarded up, and did not cease his cheerful whistling until he had pressed through the crowding trees and found himself almost on the sunken stone doorstep over which in olden days honeysuckle had been wont to arch. Now only a few straggling, uncared-for vines clung forlornly to the shingles, and the windows were, as has been said, all boarded up. The whistle died on the young man's lips and an expression of blank astonishment and dismay settled down on his face—a good, kindly, honest face it was, although perhaps it did not betoken any pronounced mental gifts on the part of its owner. "What can have happened?" he said to himself. "Uncle Tom and Aunt Sally can't be dead—I'd have seen their deaths in the paper if they was. And I'd a-thought if they'd moved away it'd been printed too. They can't have been gone long—that flower-bed must have been made up last spring. Well, this is a kind of setback for a fellow. Here I've been tramping all the way from the station, a-thinking how good it would be to see Aunt Sally's sweet old face again, and hear Uncle Tom's laugh, and all I find is a boarded-up house going to seed. S'pose I might as well toddle over to Stetsons' and inquire if they haven't disappeared, too."
