Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will take you through the many ups and downs of my difficult childhood. I want to reach out to you and to others who might have similar experiences. I want them and their families to understand that it is possible to make it through these kinds of hardships and live a successful, fulfilling, and love-filled life by the grace of the Lord. If you cling to him, he will enable you to find optimism, hopefulness, and zest for life on the other side of the horrors or challenges you face. Just know that you can do it too. Or if you have a loved one with an experience like this, maybe this story can help you understand. The kind of childhood I had is one that can often be cyclical. Children who grow up with only fear and never learn to love often create that kind of environment for their children and friends. I want to show people that if you get treated really badly, you can learn from that and help others. It doesn't always have to be a step that feeds the cycle. You may feel inclined to hate because of your terrible circumstances, but there is another option. It's hard, but you can find a way not to become bitter. In my story, you will see how it is possible to shed that hate and negativity and instead go forward, much lighter and better than you would have been. Come on this journey with me to see that you, like me, can get through anything.

Download or read book All the Lost Things written by Michelle Sacks and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From "a master of slow-burn suspense" (Shelf Awareness), a simmering family drama about a father and daughter who embark on a road trip through the American South -- but what they're leaving behind is as important as what lies ahead. When we first meet seven-year-old Dolly, she immediately grabs us with a voice that is both precocious and effervescent. It has been a while since her dad has spent time with her, just the two of them, and so when he scoops her up and promises to take her on the adventure of a lifetime, Dolly is thrilled. The first days on the road are incredibly exciting. Every pit stop promises a new delight for Dolly and her favourite plastic horse, Clemesta, who she's brought along for the adventure. There are milkshakes, shopping sprees, a theme park, and all the junk food she isn't allowed to eat under her mother's watchful eye. And, for the first time, she has her father's attention all to herself. But as they travel farther south, into a country Dolly no longer recognizes, her dad's behavior grows increasingly erratic. He becomes paranoid and irresponsible, even a little scary. The adventure isn't fun anymore, but home is ever further away. And Dolly isn't sure if she'll ever get back. A compulsively readable work of psychological suspense from the first mile to the last, All the Lost Things introduces a remarkable young heroine who leaps off the page, charts a life-changing journey, and ultimately reveals the sometimes heartbreaking intersections of love, truth, and memory.

Her baby brother is born, and her family moves to a small Saskatchewan town where she rides her tricycle in the parade at the end of World War Two. Then they move to the town of Garrick where her Daddy runs a store, her baby sister is born and she watches the men in town put out a scary big fire that is burning down a house.

Download or read book Rodgers Poetry and Philosophy written by Gabriel L. Rodgers and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first poem I wrote was, “I Will Love You For Always”. The conception came about when I was thinking about a love lost or never had. The primary thought was if the love was ever there to lose or did I mess it up and didn’t know it. As the thoughts persist I put the situations into a simile that started making a vivid comparative life story. Days later and with more vivid comparative situations I decided to write the thoughts down. Once all the scribbling was done I hammered out the writing. The emotions of the events were artistically put into words to flirt with the readers mind to feel my desires as well as relate to ones own desires. It was emotionally straining to complete the poem at that time as well as the publication of this book. My heart now knows it’s over.
Download or read book Chasing the Cup written by Jimmy Spithill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jimmy Spithill is arguably one of the world's greatest skippers: the youngest and double winner of the America's Cup, the oceanic version of Formula 1; winner of the Sydney Hobart; multiple world champion in match and fleet racing... the list goes on. And on a day off he'll paddleboard 32 miles through Hawaiian double overhead waves. What goes on inside the head of this extremely focused man who is a true pioneer in the game called sailing? Here he tells his rags-to-riches story of fierce determination, court cases, seasickness, crashed boats and cars, alcohol, the greatest comeback ever in sporting history and the dramatic 2017 America's Cup defence. All of it contributed to turning a quiet, bullied, water-loving blue-collar redhead born in Sydney into one of sailing's biggest rockstars. Far from the official media-trained account so often found in the closed-off world of the America's Cup, Jimmy's open, honest style gives us a rare insight into what goes on inside the head of a man at the top of his game. A compelling read, with many lessons in leadership, teamwork and achieving your dreams, no matter how impossible they might seem.

Book excerpt: A stunning debut novel about living, loving and family life Nancy may have died but her fractured family still turns to her for guidance. When ex-daughter-in-law and single mum, Nina, takes her two boys camping in France, her plan is to ‘find herself’. Her journey is one many readers will relate to and they may find they learn as much about themselves as the very varied and lively characters that Carolyn Lewis has created. Jonathan knows that his mum's relaxed attitude to mothering infuriates Frank, his granddad, and he tries to be the buffer between them. But Nina’s problems with Frank go deeper, she knows the true state of Frank and Nancy’s marriage before she died. Determined to make sense of what she’s doing with her life, Nina embarks on a spur of the moment camping holiday in France, which makes Frank more convinced than ever that she is incapable of looking after his grandson. Throughout the holiday, Jonathan telephones his granddad to tell him of their exploits, except for the one fateful evening when he goes missing. Nina, Frank and Jonathan continue to talk to Nancy. She remains at the centre of their lives, and, instinctively, they know what she expects of them.
