Download or read book Bite Me written by Ally Hilfiger and published by Center Street. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ally was at a breaking point when she woke up in a psych ward at the age of eighteen. She couldn't put a sentence together, let alone take a shower, eat a meal, or pick up a phone. What had gone wrong? In recent years, she had produced a feature film, a popular reality show for a major network, and had acted in an off-Broadway play. But now, Ally was pushed to a psychotic break after struggling since she was seven years old with physical symptoms that no doctor could explain; everything from joint pain, to night sweats, memory loss, nausea, and brain fog. A doctor in the psych ward was finally able to give her the answers her and her family had desperately been searching for, and the diagnosis that all the previous doctors had missed. She learned that she had Lyme disease-and finally had a breakthrough. What she didn't know was that this diagnosis would lead her down some of the most excruciating years of her life before beginning her journey to recovery from eleven years of misdiagnosis and physical pain. She would need to find her courage to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally, and become the survivor she is today. Set against the backdrop of the fast-paced fashion and entertainment industries, Bite Me shares the heartbreaking and hilarious stories that moved Ally forward on her journey from sickness to health. Its themes will be familiar to more than 300,000 Americans diagnosed with Lyme disease each year, many of whom, like Ally, wondered for years what was wrong with them. Bite Me offers readers hope and ideas for how one can transition from victim to survivor, and shares the spiritual principles and actions that have contributed to her wholeness as a human, mother, and international spokesperson against Lyme disease.

Book excerpt: The sister of “La Diva de la Banda”—legendary Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera—opens up for the first time about Jenni’s untimely death and her own triumph over abuse and addiction. Growing up as the youngest Rivera, Rosie was surrounded by unconditional love, support, and affection. There was nothing that her family wouldn’t do for her, especially her sister Jenni, who was the most important thing in the world to Rosie. With her strong will and a solid foundation, Rosie was set to conquer the world. Yet life would take a drastic turn when Rivera was scarred by sexual abuse within her family at a very young age. Living in fear and confined by painful secrets, she was plagued with constant threats, confusion, and pain. Not only was she stripped of her childhood and innocence, but she was also robbed of her confidence and self-worth. Feeling completely shattered and lost, Rivera plunged into a world of damaging habits and deep depression. For the first time ever, and with unflinching candor and courage, Rosie shares the traumatic details of her abuse and the daily struggle to live and how, through faith and the love of her family, she found life once more. Yet Rosie’s life would be severely impacted once again as the worst tragedy imaginable hit and her biggest fear came to reality—the death of her beloved sister. Equally harrowing and uplifting, Rosie’s story is a true testament to beating the odds and proves that despite the worst of times and no matter how many more challenges life has in store, it is always possible to pick up the pieces and find the strength and purpose to dream and live again.

This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Childhood Memories That Still Haunt Me took a lifetime to write. The author wanted others to know that regardless of how they were brought up or treated by their parents, they can still come through it. He realizes that it was the way he was treated as a child that shaped him as a man. He adds: For years I have been urged by so many people to write a book about my life story. However, I didn’t want to upset my mother, father, and step-father with its contents. Then again, there was the temptation of it possibly being a best seller, along with the thought that as it is a much traumatized account of my childhood, perhaps nobody would accept or believe it to be true. Therefore, it is for this reason that I am compelled to put my life into print. Additionally, I think, having reached the age of 67 years, that if I do not do it now, it never will get done. So here is the finished book, in the hope that you will enjoy reading about all the problems I have had to overcome in order to be who I am today.

Book excerpt: All women want to be loved by their mothers and then to love them in return. There should be a special bond created at conception which binds mother and daughter inexorably. A titian goddess from Allyson’s childlike perspective, she delighted in sitting in her mother’s boudoir while she inhaled the exotic perfumes and fantasized wearing the stylish clothes which filled the closet. It was the only time when she felt close to her. Although she adored her mother, she did not understand why her love was not reciprocated. At age 12, a pivotal moment changed Allyson’s life when she finally had the courage to voice her fears and ask her mother if she had wanted her. Her mother’s response “I did not want you but when you were born, a mother’s instinct kicked in” forms the basis for the story portrayed through Allyson’s poignant, often gritty poetry.

Book excerpt: If God has promised to give us the “peace that passes understanding,” why do we sometimes feel so anxious? What are we so afraid of? Are there ways of living that lead to peace?

Exploring the stories that shape us, the memories that define us, and the relationships that connect us, she looks for ways to help us become more peaceful. What can we learn from Scripture, from Jewish tradition, from the Amish and others about rest, simplicity, healing, and peace? The stories she shares and the answers she discovers may surprise you. If you put them into practice, they may even transform you, enabling you to experience the peace God wants you to have.
Download or read book The Jeweler of Stolen Dreams written by M.J. Rose and published by Blue Box Press. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating tale of two passionate women separated by decades but united by a shared vision. One, the famous jeweler Suzanne Belperron, fighting to protect her company and rescue the man she loves. The other, a young auctioneer whose exceptional gifts reveal a secret that endangers her very life. “Only one thing saves you, and that is not losing sight of beauty.” Paris, 1942. Suzanne Belperron is known as one of the most innovative jewelers of her time. Elsa Schiaparelli and the Duchess of Windsor are just two of her many illustrious clients. What no one knows is that Suzanne and her dear friend, American socialite Dixie Osgood, have been helping transport hundreds of Jewish families out of France since the war began. But now, the war has come to Suzanne’s front door—the Nazis have arrested her business partner and longtime lover, Bernard Herz. New York, 1986. Violine Duplessi, an appraiser for a boutique auction house, is summoned to visit the home of Paul Osgood, a scholarly lawyer and political candidate who aspires to take over the Senate seat of his recently deceased father. Paul has inherited everything inside Osgood Manor, from the eighteenth-century furniture to the nineteenth-century Limoges china. But a vintage Louis Vuitton trunk is what calls to Violine, with the surprising but undeniable thrum of energy that can only be one thing: the gift passed down to her by La Lune, the sixteenth-century courtesan. Since childhood, Violine has been able to read an object’s history and learn the secrets of its owners by merely touching it, but she silenced her psychometry when it destroyed her last relationship. Why has it returned now? While inspecting the trunk, she senses it holds a hidden treasure and finds a hoard of precious jewels that provoke nightmarish visions and raise a multitude of questions. Who owned these pieces? Why were they hidden inside the trunk? Were they stolen? Could their discovery derail Paul’s campaign and their burgeoning attraction to each other? So begins a search that takes Violine to Paris to work with the Midas Society, a covert international organization whose mission is to return lost and stolen antiques, jewels, and artwork to their original owners. There, Violine will discover both her and Paul’s surprising connections to the trunk—and to Suzanne Belperron, who silently and heroically hid an amazing truth in plain sight. Told through Violine’s first-person account and Suzanne’s diary entries, The Jeweler of Stolen Dreams is a riveting story of magick, mystery, romance, and revenge. Inspired by the real-life legend Suzanne Belperron, it marks yet another masterpiece by New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author M.J. Rose. Reviews for The Jeweler of Stolen Dreams: “Take this magical ride. You won’t regret it! An absolute must-read!” ~ J.R. Ward, New York Times bestselling author “A dual storyline of past and not-exactly-present that had me tapping the right side of my Kindle into the wee hours of the night.” ~ Kristen Ashley, New York Times bestselling author “Rose infuses her writing with such beauty that it is nothing less than breathtaking. She doesn’t just give readers a story, she invites readers to embrace an experience.” ~ A Potpourri Of Opinions “This historical fiction was a beautiful story, in a time of turmoil for one character and a time of discovery for the other.” ~ For Love of Books
