Book excerpt: After a decade of caring for crazy and keeping her mother’s mental illness a secret from the outside world, twenty-year-old Paolina Milana longs for just one year free from the madness of her home. When she gets the chance to go to an out-of-state school, she takes it, but her family won’t leave her be. Letter after letter arrives, constantly reminding her of the insanity rooted in her family tree. Even worse, the voices in her own head whisper words she’s not sure are normal. “Please don’t make me be like Mamma,” she prays to a God she’s not sure is listening. The unexpected death of her father soon after she returns home leaves Paolina in shock—and in charge of her paranoid schizophrenic mother. But it isn’t until she is twenty-seven and her sister two years her junior explodes in a psychotic episode and, just like Mamma, is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and must be committed, that Paolina descends into her own despair, nearly losing herself to the darkness. Poignant and impactful, Committed is one woman’s story of resilience as she struggles to stay sane despite the madness that surrounds her.

Download or read book So Much More Than Lily written by John V. Hamilton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new biography, John Hamilton uses the popularity of Milana Vayntrub as a case study in the clash between traditional media and new platforms. How can a YouTube star go on to grace a massive international ad campaign? How can an improv comedienne book roles on major TV shows and movies? Vayntrub's career shows how new media has changed the way entertainers sell their brands and do business. Hamilton focuses on the life and career of Vayntrub, who immigrated to the United States from Uzbekistan. Despite growing up in West Hollywood and working in the industry in her early years, she wasn't your typical spoiled child actor. Instead, Vayntrub worked hard to show her work to a wider audience. This was where YouTube came in. The sudden and dramatic popularity of the platform allowed Vayntrub to bring her comedy to millions of users using only her computer. Many would have been content to stop there, but Vayntrub then leveraged her YouTube fame to land a small role in Ghostbusters, a large role in the hit television drama This Is Us, and the lead in AT&T's latest ad campaign. This last role would make millions remember her face and show struggling entertainers that, with determination, anything is possible!

Book excerpt: In accordance with her Sicilian Catholic family’s unspoken code, Paolina Milana learned at an early age to keep her secrets locked away where no one could find them. Nobody outside the family needed to know about the voices her Mamma battled in her head; or about how Paolina forged her birth certificate at thirteen so she could get a job at The Donut Shop; or about the police officer twenty-six years her senior whose promise to her Papà to “keep an eye on her” quickly translated into something sinister. And perhaps that’s why no one saw it coming when—on the eve of her sweet sixteen, pushed to edge—Paolina attempted to take her own mother’s life. Raw and compelling, The S Word is the true story of a girl who nearly suffocates in the silence she was taught to value above all else—until she finally finds the strength to break free of the secrets binding her and save herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SPIRIT BY THE SEA TRILOGY - TRAVEL TO DESTINY - BOOK 2 is a book in the GALACTIC GRANDMOTHER PAST LIFE SERIES. On an ancient Pacific island, a tradition of holy men has been passed down from the ancestors. The holy men live in a peaceful, high mountain camp. They gather plants to make medicines, commune with the spirits of ancestors, then travel from village to village giving medicines, guidance, and blessing the villagers. The holy man is welcomed by all villages, and when he asks an intuitive, young boy to be his assistant and learn medicine, it is an honor. In Book One, Kai travels with the holy man and his older assistant, Konani, to the mountain camp where he is trained. Kai learns to source local plants, make medicines and commune with the island ancestors. When a young chieftain threatens war on the villages, Kai receives the sacred initiation ceremony bringing him into the ancestral lineage of medicine men, before leaving to warn the villages of battles to come. Kai meets many new people, travels to different parts of the island, witnesses much and experiences a myriad of emotions which force him to grow up quickly. In Book Two, Kai has grown into a tall good-looking man that travels the island giving medicines to the villagers. He is also regarded as a holy man that gives blessings, and calls to the ancestors on behalf of the villagers. Kai enjoys his life and has taken a young man and woman as assistants, to learn medicine from the old holy man, Konani and himself in the mountain camp. After the old holy man has a premonition, they leave and find a foreign ship has landed at a village. The men on this ship have intentions to rape and pillage, yet it is the illness they carry, which is as deadly as their swords. Again, Kai must travel the island warning the villagers and help prepare them for eventual battle.
