Book excerpt: Meghan Redenbach was thirteen years old when she was diagnosed with fibrosarcoma, an extraordinarily rare form of ovarian cancer. At the time her tumor was identified, she was one of the thirty documented cases in the United States-and one of only two children. Her physical life came to an end on Christmas Eve, two years after her initial diagnosis. One of her goals was to write a book so she could help more people. Meghan's Journey tells the story of her life, her diagnosis, her treatment, her death, and the powerful support of a community, friends, and family. This memoir combines Meghan's words with journal entries her mother, Nancy, made throughout the journey, showing Meghan's remarkable strength and courage in the face of illness. Evident throughout are Meghan's kindness, her exuberant love of life, and the lessons she taught about how to live and make the most of every moment. An emotional, true story, Meghan's Journey serves to inspire others and give them the strength, hope, and the courage to confront life's seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Download or read book Buffalo written by D. A. Grey and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is one of the thousand threads of experience that communities and individuals endured through the chapters of the Great African American Migration from the South to the North. The need to flee from the harsh, desperate lifestyles in the South into the perceived light of hope offered by the urban North was ever-present. Some made it through the transition to jobs and future possibilities. Others adjusted and held on to their values and struggled to keep their eyes on the prize. Or they turned to whatever it took to survive, which included engaging in questionable and misguided behavior. Brothers Clarence and Darrell Johnson escaped North. While Darrell became a bully and an abusive cop, his brother Clarence moved in the opposite moral direction. When teenager Albert Blake intervened to protect an innocent from a bully, he could not have imagined his kindness would change his life twenty years later. On his way to a friend's house, Albert is accosted by a street urchin at knifepoint. Having martial arts training, Albert dispatches the would-be mugger (Sammy Smalls), who runs away. The next day, a picture of a dead Smalls is on the local paper's front page. An eyewitness describes the clothes the perp wore, which coincidently matched those worn by Albert Blake. Detective Darrell Johnson makes Blake the prime suspect. So, to avoid being accused, Albert leaves town, and his friends vow to find the actual killer so Albert can return to his pregnant wife and children. With little to go on and every rock turned a miracle is needed to vindicate their friend.

Now in paperback. For as long as ZJ can remember, his dad has been everyone's hero. As a charming, talented pro football star, he's as beloved to the neighborhood kids he plays with as he is to his millions of adoring sports fans. But lately life at ZJ's house is anything but charming. His dad is having trouble remembering things and seems to be angry all the time. ZJ's mom explains it's because of all the head injuries his dad sustained during his career. ZJ can understand that--but it doesn't make the sting any less real when his own father forgets his name. As ZJ contemplates his new reality, he has to figure out how to hold on tight to family traditions and recollections of the glory days, all the while wondering what their past amounts to if his father can't remember it. And most importantly, can those happy feelings ever be reclaimed when they are all so busy aching for the past?
Download or read book F Scott Fitzgerald Remembered written by Jackson R Bryer and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2025-02-04 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal reminiscences of Fitzgerald - many previously unpublished - by those who knew him, allowing the reader to construct a composite biography. Fitzgerald once wrote: "There never was a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn't be. He is too many people if he's any good." Since his untimely death in 1940, Fitzgerald has been scrutinized in nine major biographies, each of which seeks to construct a single narrative that conveys the biographer's interpretation of Fitzgerald. In contrast, F. Scott Fitzgerald Remembered presents over sixty first-hand accounts of Fitzgerald, many of them previously unpublished, by those who knew him at all stages of his life - from his time as an adolescent in St. Paul and an undergraduate at Princeton through his meeting and marrying Zelda Sayre and his first successes, the high points and increasing dissipation of the 1920s in New York, Paris, and the Riviera and the 1930s in Baltimore and North Carolina, to his final years in Hollywood. The guiding principle is not to provide a single interpretation of Fitzgerald's life but to present these accounts in all their variety and even contradiction, inviting the reader to form a biographical portrait based upon them. Making these reminiscences available to scholars, students, and fans of Fitzgerald is particularly timely given the centenary of the publication of The Great Gatsby in 2025.
