Download or read book Dear Ashley written by Don Blackwell and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Dear Ashley” is unique, in part, because it is not written from the perspective of the sufferer, the treatment professional or the medical or psychological researcher. Instead, it may be the first time a dad has shared his perspective on his daughter’s eating disorder battle in print, let alone done so in such an engaging, intimate and heart-warming manner. The fact that Don Blackwell offers that perspective, openly and honestly, is one of many reasons parents and young adults are likely to be drawn to the book’s life-affirming message of hope.
Download or read book Dear Damage written by Ashley Farmer and published by Sarabande Books. This book was released on 2022-04-20 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two weeks before her grandfather purchased a gun, Ashley Farmer’s grandmother tripped as she walked across their living room. It was a swift accident on an ordinary day: her chin hit the floor; her cervical spine shattered. She asked, “I’m paralyzed, aren’t I?” Later, thinking to put her out of her misery, he kissed his sleeping wife of sixty-three years and shot her in the chest. He tried to shoot himself too, but the weapon broke apart in his hands. He was immediately arrested. This is the scene we are greeted with at the outset of Farmer’s stunning collection of hybrid essays. One of its greatest features is the variety of voices, a kaleidoscopic approach that corals in autobiography, audio transcripts, media, legal documents, Internet comments, short prose pieces, and more. The result is a moving, deeply satisfying, eye-opening story that will surely find many readers.

Her creative work changes and grows, inspiring her and eventually sending her in international directions. Susan’s life is thrown into upheaval when one of her tailors is accused of murdering his wife and jailed. In the aftermath of the death, she has to take a stand and make a number of difficult choices.

Download or read book Operation Desert Rose written by Jo Lyn Cornelsen and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: http://www.OperationDesertRose.com Operation Desert Rose is a beautiful story. I cant even tell you how many times I literally laughed out loud enjoying their triumphs and Im a little embarrassed to admit....I actually cried several times. This truly touched me. So many little things in the story brought back memories, and its a tale so many can relate to whether they were in the military or not. I think it is something that can appeal to the masses and its very uplifting at the same time. Its inspirational, spiritual, romantic, and sexy without being gaudy, lude, cheesy, or preachy. Buy this book - its a definite yes! ~ Shelby Austin, Former SSG US Army

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E-mail is one of the greatest inventions of our lifetime – phenomenally affecting the way we communicate. Reading, writing and managing e-mail is taking up an increasing amount of our time. But are we using it right? E-mail can be used to stay in touch whether we are traveling or working from home. Perhaps we can relax standards when it comes to personal e-mails, but e-mailing for business purposes has reached a new dimension. People whose jobs never used to involve writing skills are now replying dozens of e-mails each day. But under such pressure to respond quickly, what happens to the quality of the messages exchanged? The bottom line remains: just as body language helps you to making an impression in person, what you write and how you write it affects what people think of you and your organisation. Be it a thank you note, a meeting reminder, a proposal or a sales pitch, a well-written message that looks and sounds professional will make it easier for people to want to do business with you. It will help people feel good about communicating with you and help you achieve the right results.
