Kennedy deserves to win an Edgar.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review Sometimes, a woman has to rescue herself. Jenny Newberg, Queen of Bad Decisions, is about to make another one. In a small town where everyone knows everyone’s business, down-on-her-luck single mother Jenny is on a first-name basis with the debt collector at the bank, who is moving toward foreclosure. She is constantly apologizing to her precocious young daughter, Billie Starr, who is filling a book with her mother’s sorries, and it seems to Jenny that no apology will ever be enough. Then a pair of strangers in black suits offers her a hefty check to seduce someone known as the Candidate. Finally, something will go her way. But nothing ever goes as Jenny plans, and she is swept into the Candidate’s orbit. Surrounded by a wide universe of new ideas, she realizes how constrained her life has been by the expectations of everyone around her, and she starts to see how much more she might be capable of. And when her world is rocked to its core and Billie Starr may be in danger, Jenny is forced to do what she once thought impossible: trust in herself and her own power to make things right. Shimmering with rage and sparkling with subtle humor, Billie Starr's Book of Sorries showcases Edgar Award-nominee Deborah E. Kennedy's singular voice and shines a light on the town of Benson, Indiana, where lakes, grudges, and family rifts run deep – but so does a mother’s love.

Download or read book Juggle s Journey written by Crystal Belle and published by Crystal Belle. This book was released on 2023-07-26 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping tale for smart children and the young-at-heart, Juggle's Journey follows a lovable little squirrel as he begins his personal walk with Christ after an extraordinary encounter with God. He responds in obedience, equipped with only a limited knowledge about almost everything, and discovers that the temptations and testing of his faith are as commonplace as they are inevitable which, time and again, not only challenge his loyalty and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ but also serve to build him up when he learns to overcome. From a greedy old rabbit to spider monkeys with an ulterior motive to facing a vengeful ophidian to being enticed with evil spiritual forces, Juggle gains many flashes of insight from these and many other creatures with their diverse needs and circumstances. He is oblivious to how much his gradual but steady growth has impacted others until its positive influences are felt by them. But even so, is he resilient enough to survive the vicissitudes of life out in the world? Will his simple faith be sufficient to sustain him from being swayed by the life challenges that await him?

Download or read book Domination and Subjugation in Everyday Life written by Lonnie Athens and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reputable scholars have long charged that symbolic interactionism, which is based on the principle of "sociality," discounts the importance that subordination plays in human groups. Emphasizing dominance and power, Athens explains how subordination operates in human group life from a new interactionist's perspective, aptly dubbed by him, "radical interactionism."Expanding on the work of sociologist Robert E. Park, Athens explains the nature and operation of super-ordination and subordination, which he believes affects all social interaction between human beings and groups. He then develops a generic framework and a common terminology to help explain all forms of social conflicts. Athens argues that a radical interactionism disentangles the nature of domination, power and force, as well as the relationship among them, in a manner consistent with the basic premises of the Chicago school of pragmatism.This book offers a provocative and intelligent outline of the development and evolution of radical interactionism, a perspective interactionists can add to their toolbox with profit.

Download or read book The Jewish Nazi written by John Vocale and published by BoonDocks Books. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born 1980—Died 1940? Benjamin Bauman, a contemporary Jewish Orthopedic Surgeon, is blinded by a flash of light while driving his car. When the light subsides, he quickly discovers he is now driving another car in another time period. He panics and crashes the vehicle into a light pole. After self diagnosing his injuries and taking in his surroundings, Ben blacks out. When he awakens he finds himself in a Berlin hospital, and only a stone's throw away from Hitler's headquarters on the Wilhelmstrasse, in heart of Nazi Germany. It is Christmas Day, 1937. To the people around him Ben is Karl Schroder, a high-ranking Generalarzt and well respected Chief Surgeon in the hospital where he is now residing as a patient. Ben knows nothing of Karl’s past. Among a host of other surprises, however, he now speaks his native english and fluent german, a language alien to him a only a few hours before. Moreover, he learns the married Karl has been romantically linked to an empathetic nurse, Elsa Hirsh, who is tending to his wounds. As his trauma level soars, Ben rushes to find a mirror and discovers his journey has not physically altered his appearance. Odd news! Why do they think he is this Karl character? He then peers out a window and realizes he has been propelled into the worst place and time to be a Jew—Nazi Germany. Bad news! So far, his only piece of luck is nobody seems to realize who he really is. After a brief examination from a Nazi doctor and Hitler loyalist, Ben's “memory loss” and sudden knowledge of a new language is “scientifically” attributed to the blow in the head he received during the accident. From the German perspective Ben’s new language is American English, the language he retained during his trip into the past—a language Karl did not speak. This miraculous infusion of a language after a traffic accident soon intrigues members of Hitler's inner circle and brings the reluctant Ben face to face with the likes of Hermann Goering, Joseph Goebbels, and Adolf Hitler himself. Conversely, Ben meets and befriends the famed American broadcaster and author, William L. Shirer. With nurse Elsa in the mix, Ben is slated to become one busy time traveler. In summation, Ben’s obvious goal is to try return to the present, but as time goes by he feels he was propelled into the past for a yet to be determined mission. If so, what will his mission be? Was he sent to kill Hitler, warn England and America of a looming world war, alert the Jews of the impending holocaust? Or ... is it something more benign, like simply trying to stay alive before he is discovered for who he really is, Benjamin Bauman, a most reluctant Jewish Nazi.
