And Anne’s teenage son, Aaron, can’t decide if he should go to college or pitch it all and hit the road.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wedding the American oral storytelling tradition with progressive music journalism, Mitch Myers' The Boy Who Cried Freebird is a treatise on the popular music culture of the twentieth century. Trenchant, insightful, and wonderfully strange, this literary mix-tape is authentic music history . . . except when it isn't. Myers outrageously blends short fiction, straight journalism, comic interludes, memoirs, serious artist profiles, satire, and related fan-boy hokum—including the classic stories he first narrated on NPR's All Things Considered. Focusing on iconic recordings, events, communities, and individuals, Myers riffs on Deadheads, sixties nostalgia, rock concert decorum, glockenspiels, and all manner of pop phenomena. From tales of rock-and-roll time travel to science fiction revealing Black Sabbath's power to melt space aliens, The Boy Who Cried Freebird is about music, culture, legend, and lore—all to be lovingly passed on to future generations.

Book excerpt: Shoulders back. Back straight. Chin up. Act like a lady, look like a lady. Oh, and be at your father's beck and call. These are things that Kate Freemont, Code Name Sparrow, has grown up with and she's had enough. If the country thinks she's spoiled and ungrateful, she has a finger for them. She won't ruin their precious image of the President but she's no longer playing by the man's rules, and she's certainly not going to put on a face for the world when Agent Henderson tries to drag her back to the White House. Tanner "Chance" Henderson lives by one word: protect. It doesn't matter that he's not a fan of the President's politics, and it certainly doesn't matter that he finds the First Daughter to be a brat. He has a job and that's to keep his detail safe—even when she wants nothing to do with having Secret Service. Kate makes his job difficult, in more ways than one. She has an attitude a mile wide that's only gotten worse as she's grown up. And grow up, she's done. She's no longer the fifteen year old he met the summer before President Freemont took office seven years ago. Now she's a beautiful woman who's even more headstrong than she was before. He may not ever give into the attraction, but he'll stop at nothing to keep her safe... Even when he realizes he already failed. ** Free Bird is the first book in the Douglas Group: The Protectors series. Each book is a standalone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Download or read book Farewell My Free Bird written by Carol Noe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have a homicide. Weve fingerprinted the victim and identified her as your daughter, Angela Noe. These are the words that changed a mothers life forever. How can you be sure its her? She has a tattoo on her left shoulder that says, Free Bird. Carol Noes safe denial was smashed to pieces. Carol remembered how excited Angela was the day she got the Free Bird tattoo that represented her continual search for freedom. But Angelas desire to be free had a dark side. At about age 14, she began to resist authority; she stayed out late or didnt come home at all; and, soon, she was spiraling down a path of addiction. Despite family, friends, clergy, and therapists reaching out to help Angela, she continued her desperate slide into alcohol, drugs, and eventually a life of prostitution that ended with her tragic murder at the age of nineteen. Farewell, My Free Bird is a mothers story of her daughter, Angela, and her life that was filled with turmoil before she was brutally murdered. However, it is not only a story of tragedy and loss. More importantly, it is a story of forgiveness: forgiveness made possible only by Gods faithfulness to Angela and her family. It is a testimony of how God can bring freedom for the captives; how He can heal the broken-hearted; and how He brings new life out of death. It is natural to wonder, Is God real? Does He answer prayer? Can He be trusted? Does He care about each of us and what were going through? All these questions are answered with a resounding Yes! in the pages of Farewell, My Free Bird.
