Book excerpt: A ninth-grade dropout with two failed marriages and a mind-numbing alcohol addiction, Richard G. Tripp found himself out of work and on the streets in 1989, eating out of dumpsters and living under a plastic tarp by the Missouri River. No one would have expected this defeated and helpless "ship without a rudder" to transform himself into a nationally known crusader for America's poor and homeless. But that's just what Tripp did. He put his life on the line to expose the shocking reality of homeless shelters, fight the unthinkable abuses and needless deaths he witnessed firsthand, and make life better for his down-and-out brothers and sisters. Founder of the renowned Care of Poor People, Inc. (COPP), Tripp has become a leading authority on homelessness-and on what each and every one of us can do about it. Tripp's triumphant and deeply personal autobiography opens our eyes and hearts to the plight of the downtrodden and challenges us to make a genuine and tangible difference in our own communities. Filled with faith-in God and in humanity-this ultimate American success story proves what's possible when we hold fast to our ideals, live to serve others, and devote ourselves to creating a more benevolent, generous, and loving world.

Download or read book Sharing Space written by Cady Coleman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An inspiring, insightful read about how to overcome insecurities, build bonds, and break barriers. There’s no bigger childhood dream than becoming an astronaut, and there’s no bigger adult aspiration than becoming more like Cady Coleman. This is an inside look at what it’s like to be in outer space—and a guide to leading a meaningful life." —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential and Think Again In 2010, Cady Coleman boarded a rocket and blasted off into space for her third NASA mission, a six-month expedition to the International Space Station where she was the only woman on her six-person crew. After years spent overcoming obstacles in competitive, high-performance environments, including grappling with her own doubts and training in a spacesuit that was too big, Coleman became a success story in a role that wasn’t built with her in mind—an astronaut who is also a mother, Air Force colonel, scientist, and leader. Her determination and amazing experiences give her a unique perspective on how to set yourself up for success, in space and here on Earth. In Sharing Space, Cady shares counterintuitive insights integral to her success, such as how to know when to adapt and when to press for change instead, how to leverage insecurities to beat expectations, and how to be the glue that holds a disparate team together, shaping it to thrive. Illustrated with stories from her life and training, Cady takes readers from meteorite hunting in Antarctica to launching a $1.6 billion telescope into space to the wonder of spending six months living and working in zero gravity. This book will inspire anyone eager to escape a box in which they have been (wrongly) placed and to develop the confidence to succeed, even when they’re not an obvious “fit.”

Book excerpt: When fate draws two musicians from opposite ends of the music spectrum together in West Virginia and both look to own the same stunning piece of real estate, sparks inevitably fly. Courtney Meadows, lead violinist with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, inherits her ancient family homestead called ‘The Meadows’ in Sayre Valley, West Virginia, and decides to flee her boring life and move to the property abandoned for decades. At the same time, Rob Wilson, frontman for the underground grunge band ‘Treetop Rant’ settles on West Virginia as his escape destination from an anything-but-boring life in the rock music world and becomes obsessed with buying the property. Simply establishing ownership and developing the property proves to be difficult for whoever wins the battle. They face obstacles and hurdles that range from locating the various wills, deeds and other legal instruments relating to the land; to surveying and environmental testing; to rebuilding a washed-out access bridge and infrastructure for such basic services as roads, water, sewage, and power. Not to mention, there is also an armed hillbilly claiming squatter’s rights. Although the mutual attraction is undeniable from their first brief meeting, the same fate that keeps throwing them together physically seems determined to keep them from connecting romantically. Can a grunge rock star from the East Coast and an ultra-conservative classical symphony violinist from the Midwest overcome their many philosophical, cultural, and musical differences and find love?
