"The most paralyzing part of the autism journey is believing you are alone - that your experience of "different" is absolute and alienating. That's why stories like Thirteen Doors matter. In preciously recognizable little moments, as much as larger plot lines, connection secures strangers to feathers, and lifts us all a little higher." - Jennifer Cook (formerly Cook O'Toole), Best-selling author of Autism in Heels and founder of Belong "Beautiful, heartbreaking, real. A story that shares the truth about the struggles and complexity of the autism journey from a father's perspective.

Book excerpt: The Zenith loomed before me, a monolithic testament to human ambition and architectural audacity. Its glass and steel facade pierced the skyline like a defiant obelisk, daring the heavens themselves. As I stood at its base, craning my neck to glimpse its summit, a chill ran down my spine despite the warm summer evening. "Impressive, isn't it?" A voice startled me from my reverie. I turned to see a man in his sixties, his silver hair neatly combed, his suit impeccable. "I'm Harold Weiss, the building manager. You must be the new structural engineer." I nodded, extending my hand. "James Parker. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Weiss." His grip was firm, but his hand was ice-cold. "Please, call me Harold. Shall we begin the tour?" As we entered the lobby, I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. The high ceilings and polished marble floors seemed to amplify every sound, our footsteps echoing ominously. "The Zenith has quite a reputation," I ventured, trying to break the uncomfortable silence. Harold's lips curved into a thin smile. "Oh? And what have you heard?" I hesitated, not wanting to offend my new client. "Well, there are rumors about its... unique design. The missing thirteenth floor, for instance." Harold's eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly. "Ah, yes. A common superstition in architecture. We simply... skipped the number. Nothing more." We reached the elevators, and Harold pressed the call button. As we waited, I noticed something odd about the panel. "The button for the thirteenth floor is missing," I observed. Harold's smile didn't reach his eyes. "As I said, we skipped it. Shall we start with the lower levels?" As we toured the building, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The temperature seemed to fluctuate wildly between floors, and more than once, I caught glimpses of movement in my peripheral vision, only to find empty hallways when I turned. "Harold," I said as we reached the twelfth floor, "I can't help but notice some... irregularities in the building's design. The temperature variations, for instance." Harold's face remained impassive. "Old buildings have their quirks, Mr. Parker. Nothing to be concerned about." I pressed on. "And the original blueprints? I'd like to review them if possible." For a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of fear in Harold's eyes. But it was gone so quickly, I might have imagined it. "I'm afraid those were lost in a fire years ago," he said smoothly. "But I assure you, everything is up to code." As we stepped onto the fourteenth floor, a wave of cold air hit me like a physical force. I shivered involuntarily. "Good God, it's freezing up here," I muttered. Harold seemed unfazed. "Is it? I hadn't noticed. Perhaps we should check the thermostat." As we walked down the corridor, the lights began to flicker. A low, distant hum filled the air, growing louder with each step. "What's that sound?" I asked, my unease growing. Harold cocked his head, listening. "I don't hear anything, Mr. Parker. Are you feeling alright?" Before I could respond, a blood-curdling scream echoed through the hallway. I spun around, heart pounding. "Did you hear that?" I gasped. Harold's face remained eerily calm. "Hear what, Mr. Parker? Perhaps we should conclude our tour for today. You seem... tired."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some secrets were never meant to be uncovered... Maggie May Martin hasn’t always been the most reliable woman in the world, and she isn’t the friendliest either, but she tries her hardest to be a good mom. Most days, she falls short on that too, but her three girls mean the world to her and she genuinely tries to do the best by them—so when she goes missing, they’re the first to notice and the only ones who seem to care... Meghan Marie Martin hates the small town she was born and raised in and she can’t wait until she leaves for the Air Force after graduation. Her only concern is leaving behind her irresponsible mother and her two little sisters. Meghan has practically raised them on her own and she only hopes that when she leaves for the military, her mother will finally pull it together. The problem, of course, is that her mother likes to party, so when Maggie May goes missing, Meghan not only has to take care of everything at home, but she also has to search for her mother, because Maggie May has a bad habit of disappearing, so no one else is officially looking. That is until Meghan begins to receive mysterious messages, almost as if someone or something is guiding her to a haunted hotel in Manhattan, where people say an elevator game will take riders to the mysterious 13th floor. Some say it’s an entrance to hell, others a portal to another dimension. Either way, Meghan must brave the game in hopes of discovering the truth behind her mother’s disappearance.

Download or read book Opening the Doors written by B. J. Hollars and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening the Doors is a wide-ranging account of the University of Alabama’s 1956 and 1963 desegregation attempts, as well as the little-known story of Tuscaloosa, Alabama’s, own civil rights movement. Whereas E. Culpepper Clark’s The Schoolhouse Door remains the standard history of the University of Alabama’s desegregation, in Opening the Doors B. J. Hollars focuses on Tuscaloosa’s purposeful divide between “town” and “gown,” providing a new contextual framework for this landmark period in civil rights history. The image of George Wallace’s stand in the schoolhouse door has long burned in American consciousness; however, just as interesting are the circumstances that led him there in the first place, a process that proved successful due to the concerted efforts of dedicated student leaders, a progressive university president, a steadfast administration, and secret negotiations between the U.S. Justice Department, the White House, and Alabama’s stubborn governor. In the months directly following Governor Wallace’s infamous stand, Tuscaloosa became home to a leader of a very different kind: twenty-eight-year-old African American reverend T. Y. Rogers, an up-and-comer in the civil rights movement, as well as the protégé of Martin Luther King Jr. After taking a post at Tuscaloosa’s First African Baptist Church, Rogers began laying the groundwork for the city’s own civil rights movement. In the summer of 1964, the struggle for equality in Tuscaloosa resulted in the integration of the city’s public facilities, a march on the county courthouse, a bloody battle between police and protesters, confrontations with the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, a bus boycott, and the near-accidental-lynching of movie star Jack Palance. Relying heavily on new firsthand accounts and personal interviews, newspapers, previously classified documents, and archival research, Hollars’s in-depth reporting reveals the courage and conviction of a town, its university, and the people who call it home.

Download or read book The Family Next Door written by John Glatt and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling true crime author John Glatt comes the devastating story of the Turpins: a seemingly normal family whose dark secrets would shock and captivate the world. On January 14, 2018, a seventeen-year-old girl climbed out of the window of her Perris, California home and dialed 911 on a borrowed cell phone. Struggling to stay calm, she told the operator that she and her 12 siblings—ranging in age from 2 to 29—were being abused by their parents. When the dispatcher asked for her address, the girl hesitated. “I’ve never been out,” she stammered. To their family, neighbors, and online friends, Louise and David Turpin presented a picture of domestic bliss: dressing their thirteen children in matching outfits and buying them expensive gifts. But what police discovered when they entered the Turpin family home would eclipse the most shocking child abuse cases in history. For years, David and Louise had kept their children in increasing isolation, trapping them in a sinister world of torture, fear, and near starvation. In the first major account of the case, investigative journalist John Glatt delves into the disturbing details and recounts the bravery of the thirteen siblings in the face of unimaginable horror.
