Download or read book Crooked Sidewalks written by Ronald P. Carr and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every life is a story, and every story a journey. We are born, our story begins, and life happens. Each story develops over time from infancy through adulthood and from changes due to choices we make and many times by events over which we have no control. How our story ends is determined by how we react to those events. It is the life’s lessons and what we learn from them that help us grow, gain experience and wisdom, and move us along our journey. We decide if we are in charge of our destiny or if destiny is in charge of us. We drift aimlessly, or we paddle in the direction of our goals. Crooked Sidewalks will guide you as you tell your own story.

Picture also, a gorgeous ophthalmologist with a beachfront condo, her own thriving practice and a bevy of rich friends sharing her life in the fast lane. You would have thought they had won life's lottery. Wanting for nothing, intoxicated by pleasure and devoid of pain. It's a natural assumption that would be wrong. Ugly intruders, like wantonness and jealousy, infect perfect worlds. Uninvited yet inevitable guests that fuel the furnaces of hate and stoke the fires of remorse. What transpires isn't pretty. Is it deserved? No one can say. Who can judge without walking in their shoes? The friction of life tends to callous souls and distort judgment. Without the slightest notion that they took a wrong turn down a dangerous path, they plod on, to ruination.

Book excerpt: Jim Nash wants to put his past behind him, but in order to do that, he has to remove himself from the present. His quick trip down the Baja is beginning to look like he overstayed his welcome on a vacay from hell. He’s riding around in an armor-plated van when a teenage stowaway jumps on board. He can’t get rid of her, and now he’s stuck babysitting, too. If that isn’t enough, the go-fast panga he borrowed in Todos Santos is on the hot sheet with the cartels. He has a remedy for that tucked away on board that involves an RPG and someone who knows how to use it. He discovers his teenage ward hanging upside-down in a Cabo San Lucas bar. She was supposed to be homeward-bound on an airplane. Not to be outdone, the teenager discovers Jim in flagrante delicto with a cartel woman intent on stealing every dollar he has amassed over the years. With the banks closed and nowhere to turn, he’s forced to rely on his own devices and those of his young ward. He’s resolved to get her home safely, even if she doesn’t want to go on her own. She is insisting on leaving with the one that brought her, and that’s Jim Nash. A cartel gunfight on a Cabo pier has made the news back home, and now Maddie Spence, his partner, is itching to get her hands on Jim, too. She recognized him as one of the stars in the video with two other women. The only trouble is, until he made the news, she had no idea where he was. That’s not a pressing problem for Jim, though. At least, not yet. Jim still has to make his way north by sea and by land to the border and home.
