Book excerpt: I'm Becky, I'm about to start 7th grade, and guess what? I'm not even nervous! I can hardly believe it. If you'd have asked me three months ago, in May, how I was, I would have said "awful! My best friend Sarah is cuter than me, plus I have freckles that I hate, my grades are terrible, Daddy lost his job, and Mom and Dad are always arguing and blaming each other for everything." Could anything be worse? You bet. I'll lay it out for you. Daddy moved out. He was drinking every day and gambling on sports. Mom told me he bets money he can't afford to lose. I was sure it was all my fault. I was getting terrible stomach aches and headaches; I figured if I could just get better grades, Mom and Dad would be happier and maybe everything would get better. To top it all off, my parents came up with the brilliant idea of sending me to Australia for the summer to stay with relatives I hardly even knew. No way! It's 1972 -- what parents would send their child half-way around the world, to the middle of nowhere? Well, I was in for some big surprises. By the end of the summer I'd found out my relatives had some of the same problems as my own family -- and I learned there are healthy, useful ways I can deal with it all. I learn it isn't my fault. And I come to have hope, one day at a time. And that boring island country they shipped me to? I had a blast! We spent weeks snorkeling off a deserted island, and played tag with fish of every color in the rainbow. I found deadly cone shells, camped with tons of other travelers waiting for flooded bridges to reopen, saw huge sea turtles lay eggs, caught the biggest grouper fish with only a hand-line, netted yabbys, survived a scary speedboat ride in the middle of an ocean storm -- and that's just the beginning. Join my adventure. You too might find joy and magic mixed with hope, and the understanding that one day at a time each of us can find peace. P.S. I've ended up loving my freckles!

Download or read book Ghost Crab written by Paul Magnus Lefcourt and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following his death in the fiery explosion of his research boat, Max Nordstein discovers himself existing as a spirit trapped inside a ghost crab. The ghost crab is not impacted in the slightest way by carrying Max's spirit and is totally unaware Max is along for the ride. But Max experiences, in living detail, every aspect of the ghost crab's life while having no control over the crabs physiology, behavior, or existence in general. Frightened and bewildered, he gropes for understanding. Insight arrives from Peaches, a deceased woman, whose spirit is also living in a ghost crab. While falling in love with her at the spiritual level, Maxs crab engages her crab in some rowdy crustacean sex. Peaches explains to Max it is the fate of all humans to spend their afterlife as a spirit located inside an animal. There they experience the life of the host animal while concurrently reviewing and analyzing their recently completed human existence. The analogy is made to an unemployed actor reviewing his last effort on the stage as he prepares for his next role. This psychotherapy in the afterlife, is done to understand the obscured reasons for ones actions in the past life. Once recognizing the karmic forces that shaped the past life, and formulating a plan for the next life, the spirit is ready to be reincarnated. Max reviews his life from his birth in Norway to a Jewish woman married to a Norwegian scientist, through his family's emigration to the United States in 1963, and beyond. His life ends at the age of thirty-nine when his boat, the phenomenal R/V Gaea, mysteriously explodes while exiting Fort Lauderdale. Max tells his story through a series of flashbacks to his past two lives. Insight is also gained from the stories told by influential characters from his previous lives. We see how people alive during World War Two and earlier had a major karmic impact on what made Max the person he became. Because all spirits existing in the afterlife are like unemployed actors, whose last show was the life they recently completed, there is honesty and humor as they discuss their last performance with Max and Peaches. When Max learns, through a series of shocking revelations, what his former life was really all about, he is finally ready to be reborn. Ghost Crab is like no book you have ever read. In a mostly lighthearted manner, it offers an alternative approach to the more conventional views regarding the development of personality and human consciousness. Regardless of whether you are a Christian, a Jew, a Moslem, or the most fervent atheist as long as you have an open mind you will say: This could be!

Book excerpt: From the Christy Award-winning Author of Levi's Will "You never know what the day will bring..." Mick Brannigan, a construction worker, loses a good-paying job because of some freak accident, sort of his fault but not his fault. Adding insult to injury, he finds himself playing nursemaid to his three kids. "Mick's whole life felt like an accident..." Even more flustered is his wife, Layne, now forced to get a job to keep a paycheck coming in. Mick isn't the stay-at-home-dad type, she's sure. He's a good dad--when she is there to supervise it all...the unrelenting daily stuff. Keeping the house clean, food in the fridge. Attacking the ever-mounting laundry. Supervising their five acres of land and the menagerie of animals.... "It wasn't his idea to stay home with the kids..." A lot is on the line, and just how the Brannigan family will survive--that is, without anyone getting seriously hurt or killed, the kids not ending up psychologically and emotionally damaged, the laundry not undoing their marriage--all remains to be seen.... Packed with humor, true-to-life characters, and themes to enlighten the soul, Summer of Light is altogether poignant, witty, entertaining, and delightfully down-to-earth.

Download or read book Life on Matagorda Island written by Wayne H. McAlister and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From most people’s point of view, a barrier beach is a paradox: appealing to visit but appalling to live on. An enjoyable day’s excursion requires shade, dark glasses, sunblock, drinking water, food, and, of course, a shower afterward. Take all those amenities away and consider existing alone on the island fulltime, even during hurricanes. When Wayne and Martha McAlister moved to Matagorda Island, a wildlife refuge off the central Texas coast, they anticipated staying perhaps five years. But sent to take up duties with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Wayne McAlister fell under the island’s spell the moment he stepped out of his aging house trailer and met his first Matagorda rattlesnake. Seven years later, the McAlisters were still observing the flora and fauna of Matagorda. Except for the road and some occasional fence posts, the island appears untouched by humans. In Life on Matagorda Island, Wayne McAlister shows what life was like amid such isolation. McAlister revels in the ghostly twinkles of nights on the beach, as luminescent comb jellies, sea walnuts, and glow worms light up every crest of wave. He watches hungry whooping cranes snatch striped mullet trapped in tidal pools; hunts for Hurter’s spadefoots, reclusive amphibians that surface during warm deluges; and sinks to his knees in the sand, flashlight in hand, to catch a glimpse of a whip eel’s sharp snout. Not all observations are limited to the psammobionts—the creatures of the sand. McAlister recounts petting a fatbellied coyote pup and handing out kitchen scraps to wild turkeys. Badgers make their home on Matagorda Island, as do alligators, raccoons, and hundreds of varieties of insects, including the aggravating salt marsh mosquito. But McAlister doesn’t merely observe: he tells why and how. Why oysters spit, why pistol shrimp snap, or how debris from offshore boats affects the beach environment. He also relates the more sinister aspects of living on a barrier island, such as finding himself ankledeep in quicksand. But it’s all in a day’s work—or play—to the McAlisters, as they balance their lifestyle with the will of the island and its nonhuman inhabitants. “We try to stay in the background, enthralled observers,” McAlister writes. “We do not belong, can never truly belong, but we can coexist and commingle. Close enough.”
