He had to grow up through the most chaotic times in the history of America. Jim crow, Vietnam War, Gang Wars, Four assignations (John F. Kennedy Jr., Martin L. King Jr., Bobby Kennedy and Malcolm X), ( Civil Rights Movement) Race riots, the Love and Peace movement (Sex and Drugs Revolution) and Motown and Rock & Roll ( Music revolution). There were a lot of grown ups who did not survive those times. It's very interesting how this nine year old found his way through forty something years of fear, horror, torture, sex, drugs, people, places and things. Though the grace of GOD he is still keep, keeping on. This is the first book of a five part series. Series number one Raised By A Nine Year Old (King). The four other series are not titled as of yet. Please understand that this book was written with a lot of emotion. What I went through to get the words out was so devastating. It took a lot out of me, to recall those moments of time. I literally had to relive those moments of pain, horror, fear and torture. Some of those times were not as bad as others, but it was hard to do, just the same. This first book is about a boy caught up in time. A time he never under stood. This boy was pushed to grow-up a at time in his life, when he had no understanding of what he was about to go through. Everything came fast, untimed and shocking. He was shot out into life with no warning and no skills. He had to learn by trail and era. He is still carrying those traits with him today after over forty years. He grew up and became a man, with the absence of that little boy, who never got a chance to experience what it would have been like to be one. He was always forcing his self to go through the elements of life, always fighting, hoping and praying. Today I can say he survived by the skin of his teeth. The interesting thing about his survival is what, who, and how he went through these forty something years. In the series to come, you will learn about how he evolved, through those trying years. This boy live a life, that proves, that, when you are walking in the sand and one moment you look down and see two pairs of foot prints in the sand and for forty years of walking in that sand you only see one pair of foot steps. You know that you were carried through all those years. For that I am surely blesses. I know that I could not have walked through those forty years on my own. I stated earlier this boy had no warning and no skills. Thank GOD for GOD

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M

Download or read book Four Years Later written by Monica Murphy and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author Monica Murphy winds up her sensational series with this sexy story of two college kids with nothing in common but a bunch of baggage and a burning attraction. Over. That about sums up everything in my life. Suspended from my college football team and forced to cut back my hours at The District bar because of my crappy grades, I can’t keep turning to my sister, Fable, and her pro-football playing husband, Drew, to bail me out. I just can’t seem to find my own way. Weed and sex are irresistible temptations—and it’s messed up that I secretly hand over money to our junkie mom. A tutor is the last thing I want right now—until I get a look at her. Chelsea is not my type at all. She’s smart and totally shy. I’m pretty sure she’s even a virgin. But when she gives me the once over with those piercing blue eyes, I’m really over. But in a different way. I won’t deny her ass is killer, but it’s her brain and the way she seems to crave love—like no one’s ever given her any—that make me want her more than any girl I’ve ever met. But what would someone as seemingly together as her ever see in a screwed up guy like me? Praise for Four Years Later “Another great entry into the series and a perfect way to close out what started with One Week Girlfriend. As always, Monica Murphy gives us such great characters, giving them such depth and emotions that it’s hard not to love them from the minute you meet them on the page.”—Cocktails and Books “An engaging, heavily character-driven new adult [novel] that brings us the story of a much beloved character. Seamless writing flows effortlessly as Murphy sets up the plot elements and begins her story of love, loss, redemption, and forgiveness. . . . Four Years Later was a delight to read.”—Smexy Books “Monica Murphy has created an unforgettable series. Her writing is honest, gritty, romantic and entertaining. Her characters are very real people that readers can relate to. We embrace them in our hearts. Their lives and stories will stay with [us] long after the book is finished.

The One Week Girlfriend series has been an amazing reading journey that has touched my heart.”—Hesperia Loves Books “Emotional and gratifying . . . This romance was full of tension and longing! . . . Monica Murphy has another win with Four Years Later. Owen and Chelsea’s story was touching and passionate, and is sure to make you sigh in contentment by the end.”—Waves of Fiction “What a fantastic ending to an amazing series! . . . It took my emotions on a roller coaster ride but hey, all the good books do! . . . Four books and I still want more! I’m not quite sure I could ever get enough of these characters. They’re all complex, and beautifully broken in their own ways. Combine that with Monica Murphy’s fantastic writing skills and you always have a winner.”—Down the Rabbit Hole “It’s official! When it comes to NA romances and inner monologues, Monica Murphy is a queen! . . . I highly recommend Four Years Later! If you read the earlier books then you just have to get this one too. It was wonderful to see how the earlier couples are faring . . . but Monica Murphy had truly made this Owen’s book. I love it!”—In My Room Reading
