Download or read book The Candle Store written by Mary Greer and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What could have been done differently to save Michelle Jackson? And what can save other Michelle Jacksons? The Candle Store is a real-time narrative of the havoc caused by alcohol addiction. It is a window into the chaos caused by one woman's descent into alcoholism. Drinking not only caused Michelle Jackson's life to be ruined (indeed, it ended it), but it also had an enormous impact on her family. Despite frantic efforts to obtain help for her, the story demonstrates how difficult it was to access assistance. At various points, the system failed her. It takes the entire compilation to get a true picture of what a tragedy this was, to cut through the anger and mess to realize how much talent was wasted. The hope is that her experience can help other alcoholics, other families impacted by alcohol, or perhaps be used to train addiction specialists. This book is needed because what is out there already is NOT WORKING. There is nothing like this available now. It is not a description, or a memoir, or a case study. The reader does not know what is coming because her family did not know as it was happening, just like addiction in real life. It is innovative in style, inherently engaging, and relatable; it is not a boring and dry academic treatise. In this way, perhaps more people on the ground or actually impacted by addiction can be accessed. The Candle Store does not claim to offer any answers, and that is the point. Perhaps seeing this real-life progressive decline can highlight for professionals and educators where the system failed and find entry points for future truly successful interventions. It is short, in real-life language, and does not suffer from interpretation or hindsight—this is exactly what happened. It also is a glimpse into the vastly underserved group of middle-aged women with substance use disorders—a major deficit in addiction literature and treatment. The intended audience is addiction specialists and educators. However, it would also be useful for families impacted by addiction, AA sponsors, counselors, probation officers, clergy, and medical personnel, as well as those dealing with substance use disorders themselves. Anyone who works with individuals with substance use and mental health disorders would benefit from this deep dive into the downward spiral of addiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Azad's debut YA fantasy is set in a city along the Silk Road that is a refuge for those of all faiths, where a young woman is threatened by the war between two clans of powerful djinn. Fatima lives in the city of Noor, a thriving stop along the Silk Road. There the music of myriad languages fills the air, and people of all faiths weave their lives together. However, the city bears scars of its recent past, when the chaotic tribe of Shayateen djinn slaughtered its entire population -- except for Fatima and two other humans. Now ruled by a new maharajah, Noor is protected from the Shayateen by the Ifrit, djinn of order and reason, and by their commander, Zulfikar.But when one of the most potent of the Ifrit dies, Fatima is changed in ways she cannot fathom, ways that scare even those who love her. Oud in hand, Fatima is drawn into the intrigues of the maharajah and his sister, the affairs of Zulfikar and the djinn, and the dangers of a magical battlefield.In this William C. Morris YA Debut Award finalist novel, Nafiza Azad weaves an immersive tale of magic and the importance of names; fiercely independent women; and, perhaps most importantly, the work for harmony within a city of a thousand cultures and cadences.
Download or read book Make Something Good Today written by Erin Napier and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Ben and Erin Napier, the stars of the hit HGTV show Home Town, comes Make Something Good Today, a memoir that tells us all to seek out the good in life, celebrate the beauty of family and friends, and prosper within our communities because everything we need in life to be happy, is within our grasp. Long before their hugely popular TV show, an expanding family, or demolition day on their dream home, Erin began keeping a daily online journal to help her stay focused on the positive and count her blessings in life. She never expected that her depictions of small-town life in the tiny swath of Mississippi where she Ben call home would catch the eye of a television producer and set them off on the journey of a lifetime. Make Something Good Today offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of a couple that America has come to know and love for their easy humor, adoring relationship, and ability to utterly transform a place into something beautiful and personal. This is the poignant story of how Erin and Ben took a small, tight-knit town into their own hands (literally) and used ingenuity, community, and authenticity to rebuild a once-thriving American Main Street. And how, by combining Ben’s carpentry skills with Erin’s design eye, Home Town is making it clear to us all that small-town living can feel as big as you make it. Complete with family photographs, Erin’s hand-painted sketches, and never-before-heard personal stories, this inspirational memoir reminds us all not to give up hope that great love stories are possible, big things can bloom in small towns, and there is always magic in the ordinary if you know where to look for it.

She meets many local characters along the way, who all somehow manage to offer the same peace, love and granola advice, and small tokens of inspiration, which she gloomily accepts and moves on. Eventually, she visits the candle shop to admire the legendary Candle Mountain, a massive wax sculpture created over many years from hundreds of thousands of melted candles. But even this aweinspiring monument to persistence and growth, and the kind wisdom of the candle maker and his wife, can’t budge Woody’s mood. But just when she’s convinced that her day’s search has been completely useless, she finds herself in a place where her little bits of knowledge make a world of difference.
