Book excerpt: In this near-future dystopia with echoes of The Giver and Among the Hidden, Tania Unsworth has created an unsettling page-turner—fast-paced, smooth, filled with dread—that’s wholly satisfying and startlingly original. Devin doesn’t remember life before the world got hot; he has grown up farming the scorched earth with his grandfather in their remote valley. When his grandfather dies, Devin heads for the city. Once there, among the stark glass buildings, he finds scores of children, just like him, living alone on the streets. They tell him rumors of a place for abandoned children, with unlimited food and toys and the hope of finding a new family. But only the luckiest get there. An act of kindness earns Devin an invitation to the home, but it’s soon clear that it’s no paradise. As Devin investigates the intimidating administrator and the zombie-like sickness that afflicts some children, he discovers the home’s horrific true mission. The only real hope is escape, but the place is as secure as a fortress. Fans of dystopian fiction and spine-chilling adventure will devour The One Safe Place; its haunting themes will resonate long after readers have turned the final page.

Book excerpt: The gate was built to keep danger out. But what if the danger was already in? The suburban gated community of Eden Village is a safe place, they are told. Enclosed by a thick stone wall with only one way in and one way out, it promises refuge from the violence, crime, and uncertainty of city life. The application process is extensive and the rules are strict, but for fearful residents, it's a small price to pay to live in a community that hasn't seen one instance of crime in fifty-five years. To celebrate its crimeless history, residents participate in The Breach, a one-day annual event in which one person is anonymously assigned to carry out a harmless crime. This year, someone has broken into Gus Mercer's cottage. It's a simple crime but for one unusual detail: a riddle left by The Crook that hints of a more sinister intent. As a security guard elected detective for the day, Tom begins to follow its clues, encountering more riddles that reveal residents' darkest secrets--including his own. Later that evening, Tom realizes that the break-in was a diversion from a much more serious crime: kidnapping. Battling The Association's reluctance to disrupt the sense of safety and the increasing evidence that Eden Village is not what it claims to be, Tom must uncover the truth and confront his own chilling past to find the missing child before it's too late.

Book excerpt: "Dramatic, graphic and wrenching...The reader is left to wonder--at the devastation of Carcaterra's youth, at his survival to adulthood, and at the grace that allowed him to craft this piercing memoir." THE WASHINGTON POST Lorenza Carcaterra grew up in Hell's Kitchen, New York in the 1950s and '60s in a confusing world of love and fear of his paradoxically violent and affectionate father. Then Lorenzo learned that his father had murdered his first wife. And he wondered how he could love his father again. Did he possess the same murderous fury; would he someday suddenly lash out at those he loved? As his father's physical abuse escalated, Lorenzo sought frantically for a safe place...a place where he could find hope and reconciliation and peace, where his father's terrible shadow no longer lingered. Now, decades later, Lorenzo has finally come to terms with the awful truth about his father. A SAFE PLACE is the brilliant result.

Everyone who knew them thought stunning Farah Fratta and her husband Robert, a firefighter and public safety officer, had it all--a solid, nine-year marriage, three beautiful children, and a comfortable house in a middle class Houston suburb. But behind closed doors, Robert's deviant sexual appetites trapped Farah in a world of sick perversity...until she filed for divorce in 1992. Her Terrorized Her In Her Own Home... During a bitter custody suit, Farah bravely recounted--in graphic detail--her husband's bizarre sexual demands, which the presiding judge called the most depraved behavior he'd ever heard. Then Fratt'a behavior turned violent. Hoping to intimate his wife into dropping the proceedings against him, he hired an ex-con to brutally rape and torture her with a stun gun. Two years after the case began, the court was about to rule in Farah's favor...and seal her fate. Then He Took Her Life... On the night of November 9, 1994, as an unsuspecting Farah stepped out of her car, a man wearing a black ski mask emerged from the backyard and pumped two lethal bullets into her head.

Download or read book Being a Safe Place for the Dangerous Kind written by Michael Bradley and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a world full of broken people. And all too often, the Christian church is not a safe place for them to find emotional, relational, and spiritual wholeness. But it should be. In Being a Safe Place for the Dangerous Kind, author Mike Bradley offers a book to help followers of Jesus live more effective lives of witness and develop healthy disciples and leaders. It is not a book that simply points out everything the body of Christ and its leaders are doing wrong. This is a book about a person's "being"-who that person is as opposed to what he or she does. Broken into four parts entitled "Introducing the Safe Place Vision," "Experientially Rooted in God's Grace," "Rooted in God's Truth," and "Creating an Atmosphere of Freedom for Authentic Living," Bradley uses Scripture to show how Jesus was a safe place and modeled for us how to best relate to others so they could be impacted by the love and power of God. For pastors, leaders, and laypeople alike, this is an essential resource for anyone interested in learning how to help others find restoration in Christ.

Book excerpt: From the Publisher: Christina Crawford's devastating memoir Mommie Dearest (over 5,000,000 sold), first as book and later as Hollywood film, made the American public aware of violence in the family. In No Safe Place, drawing further on her personal story, but adding sociological research and case histories, the author shows how family violence is responsible for addictive behavior, depression, sleep disorders, chronic illness, suicide, delinquency, homelessness, and apparently "mindless" violent crime. A call to action, this impassioned book offers the hope that in facing the truth about our families we can save our society and ourselves.

Download or read book A Safe Place for Dangerous Truths written by Annette Simmons and published by AMACOM. This book was released on 2006-04-23 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No more "checking for feet." This illuminating guide gets people to tell the truth at the meeting--not in the bathroom afterwards.Almost everybody does it--lie, that is. In one recent survey 93% of people admitted to lying regularly at work! Why? Because it's safer than telling the truth.Sadly, organizations cannot succeed in this poisonous world of half-truths, strategic omissions, and doctored information. To function optimally, businesses must create an environment where people feel free to tell the truth, no matter how disturbing. Only then can organizations unleash the responsiveness, creativity, and enthusiasm necessary to achieve their goals.This unique book shows how, using the formal process of "dialogue," such a place can be built. In a lively discussion, the author shows managers how to use this technique to encourage truth-telling by reducing fear, prompting self-examination, and opening minds * build trust where suspicion and cynicism held sway * inspire individuals to think and learn as a group * help groups talk through tough issues and move to collaborative action.
