Download or read book Homosteading at the 19Th Parallel written by David Gilmore and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-08-24 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man from Arizona buys a piece of land in the middle of a lava field while vacationing in Hawaii and returns to the island to find a deeper sense of home and build his midlife crisis tropical dream house. In this assemblage of journal entries during the trying year of construction, the author tells some of the secrets of rural Hawaii, revealing her dark underbelly. Meet the crazy neighbors in Puna's "open-air asylum," go on late night lava walks, join a lynch mob against the coqui frogs, and find the true meaning of 'aloha' in the jungle. "What do you do when you've run away from home-again-and you still want to keep running? This is a story of a relationship, not with just a house, but with a vision of home. I could have read twice as long a book with as much excitement-it was heartbreaking and hilarious to watch Gilmore's poignant love affair disintegrate. As a reader, I was rooting for the love affair to last, and I was stubbornly optimistic when it didn't but finally, he realizes one night, while holding his dog and swinging in the hammock, that he has built a perfect home in paradise-for someone else." -Gillian Kendall, author of Mr. Ding's Chicken Feet " I laughed myself silly and my mouth dropped open in amazement. The man is a true original." -David Henry Sterry, author of Chicken, Self-Portrait of a Young Man for Rent

Download or read book 19 With a Bullet written by Granger Korff and published by . This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast-moving, action-packed account of Granger Korff’s two years’ service during 1980/81 with 1 Parachute Battalion at the height of the South African ‘bush war’ in South West Africa (Namibia) and Angola. Apart from the ‘standard’ counterinsurgency activities of Fireforce operations, ambushing and patrols, to contact and destroy SWAPO guerrillas, he was involved in several massive South African Defence Force (SADF) conventional cross-border operations, such as Protea, Daisy and Carnation, into Angola to take on FAPLA (Angolan MPLA troops) and their Cuban and Soviet allies. Having grown up as an East Rand rebel street-fighter, Korff’s military ‘career’ is marred with controversy. He is always in trouble—going AWOL on the eve of battle in order to get to the front; facing a court martial for beating up, and reducing to tears, a sergeant-major in front of the troops; fist-fighting with Drug Squad agents; arrested at gunpoint after the grueling seven-week, 700km Recce selection endurance march—are but some of the colorful anecdotes that lace this account of service in the SADF.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One man, Leeway Matchers Jr. and two women; Shauna Matchers-Poster, his daughter and Debra Amber, his niece from a half-brother are at the center of the story. Three mothers; Juniors Mother, Ms. Lezzy, His ex-wife, and Shauna’s mother, Marie Wyatt and Debra’s mother affectionately known as Mama shaped Junior’s life. What they have in common is their beginning, South Carolina. They were all born in South Carolina. The two cousins see each other after Marie’s mother’s funeral in South Carolina and promise to keep in touch before another funeral but that does not happen. When Shauna goes back to South Carolina for her father’s mother’s funeral, Ms. Lezzy, Debra makes sure Shauna does not get away this time. They exchange email addresses and phone numbers. After two years of emailing each other about their lives and sagas they are pulled to meet each other in person once again for another funeral. The circle of life takes them on a journey dating back two decades. The world was challenging for the two young women sharing one indisputable fact, they grew up without their fathers. The women find that their strategies of living without a positive father figure as a role model may have clouded their judgments when it came to which type of men they should have allowed in their lives. Stories of molestation, rape, abuse, and betrayal are shared. You will experience the struggles or at least get a glimpse of being a struggling African American single mother. Confessions of marrying the right and wrong man, abortions (before Roe vs. Wade was overturned), and military sexual trauma (women who fought for our country but died at the hands of their fellow military buddies). Experience issues like; returning to college as a middle-aged mother (before student loan debts were canceled), raising a child with epilepsy, dealing with child neglect issues, holding out for the right careers, child support, and raising Black sons in America before the Black Lives Matter movement. Issues so heart-breaking they will make you laugh and cry at the same time. The cousins' “man cave” confessions will have you glued to every page as their journey to find the right man to unlock the man cave takes them into one eviction after another. This smart-witted, questionable-language-drama is filled with plenty of inspirational moments as the two cousins encourage each other to keep moving forward through prayer and praise. Their lives are an open book of laughter, love, pain, and strength you will love.
