Download or read book Eat Cake written by Jeanne Ray and published by Crown. This book was released on 2012-02-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruth loves to bake cakes. When she is alone, she dreams up variations on recipes. When she meditates, she imagines herself in the warm, comforting center of a gigantic bundt cake. If there is a crisis, she bakes a cake; if there is a reason to celebrate, she bakes a cake. Ruth sees it as an outward manifestation of an inner need to nurture her family—which is a good thing, because all of a sudden that family is rapidly expanding. First, her mother moves in after robbers kick in her front door in broad daylight. Then Ruth’s father, a lounge singer, who she’s seen only occasionally throughout her life, shatters both wrists and, having nowhere else to go, moves in, too. Her mother and father just happen to hate each other with a deep and poisonous emotion reserved only for life-long enemies. Oh, yes indeed! Add to this mix two teenagers, a gainfully employed husband who is suddenly without a job, and a physical therapist with the instincts of a Cheryl Richardson and you’ve got a delightful and amusing concoction that comes with its own delicious icing. One of Jeanne Ray’s specialties is giving us believable, totally likable characters, engaged in the large and small dramas and amusements of life. Eat Cake is whimsical, warm, and satisfying. Eat Cake is Jeanne Ray at her best. Pull up a chair and eat cake!

Download or read book Eat Cake Be Brave written by Melissa Radke and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the star of USA reality show The Radkes and creator of the viral "Red Ribbon Week" video, this is a hilarious and inspiring story of finding self-confidence in a world of naysayers. My name is Melissa Radke, and there is a very real chance you have no idea who I am or why I wrote a book. But admit it, you're curious! Even though millions of people seem to like watching my videos and The Radkes TV show bemoaning the trials of parenting, marriage, French braiding, faith, and living life as an anti-aging female, you may still be wondering who let me write a book. I mean, books are written by people who say things like, "I was having a root canal and I literally died in the chair. I saw heaven. Also, when I came back to earth I could speak Mandarin." Yeah, that didn't happen to me. I wrote this book because when I turned 41 I made the decision to live brave, bolder, and freer. I thought our lives were supposed to change when we turned 40. But mine changed when I turned 41 and I set out to prove that it wasn't too late for me. And maybe, just maybe, reading about my journey to find my sense of self-worth will help you rightfully believe in yours. This book is about how all the years of my life led up to the one that changed it. So, cut a big slice and raise a fork... Here's to bravery. Here's to courage. Here's to cake. (And not the crappy kind, like carrot.)

Download or read book I Ate the Cake written by Darline Amos-McElroy and published by Dr Creative Art. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her debut book, I Ate the Cake: A Journey for Justice, Darline Amos-McElroy detailed workplace abuse of harassment, retaliation, and racism from her bosses. As an educator and school counselor, Darline regularly taught students to advocate for themselves but finds herself in an almost 9-year marathon seeking justice alone. The author sought the assistance from upper-level administrators who admitted to the racism but left Darline wondering how justice prevails.After doing "the right thing," the author faced more than the job's usual demands. The right thing led to more retaliation and harassment, then discovering why her bosses felt empowered. Attempting to learn and use the law to assist her after the school district failed to execute justice, the author shares the many attempts to get help for governmental entities. Darline uses the challenges to learn the importance of resilience and the balance of love, forgiveness, and justice. The author encourages fellow Christians, through Biblical examples, to see the opportunity to be used as vessels in their daily lives. I Ate the Cake: A Journey for Justice, an emotional and Spirit-filled journey that engages the reader in sometimes comical, but a very lengthy trial of resilience and obedience to the call of Christianity.

This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
