Book Synopsis An Unfortunate Life by : Lola Fuller
Download or read book An Unfortunate Life written by Lola Fuller and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a non-fiction representation of my life. I don't know that I will ever write another one, I just felt in order to move forward in my unfortunate life, I needed to write about it to help others, as well as myself. It is graphic and recommended for those over 18 and those who are adult enough to understand what they are reading. I have left out places I have gone, things I have done, things that are only for me, but for the most part, the book gives information on myself and all of those around me that hurt me, lied to me, abused me, beat me, mistreated me in any way, or that helped in some way. If someone reading this finds that they are not part of it, it's because they didn't hurt me, abuse me, lie to me that I know of or their time in my life was so insignificant that mention of it was unnecessary. I hope that by reading this book, it will teach people about things they didn't know and find understanding. I don't know that this book will provide any hope to anyone. I don't care who judges me in reading this because they have no right. In writing this book, I'm giving up my hate and closing a door to it. I'll be moving forward with what I am doing to take care of me, hoping that someday not only the forgiveness I've given, but forgetting will come as well. From this book on, I plan to travel and see the places that I've longed to see all my life, experience things above and beyond, be able to donate to my love of the animals. In shelters; that are being beat, murdered, abused, neglected and given bad names. I'm hoping with this book, that I will be left alone. The people that are no longer in my life chose to close that door by disrespecting me in some way. As you will find in this book, I do not miss people, I dismiss them, with only two exceptions. I have been alone for over a year and I did leave this part out of my book. I have no intentions to ever have another relationship, I do not ever want to be touched again, nor do I have the love I used to have in me anymore, the only love I have left is for few friends and the animals. There will be few people that will know of how to find me, as I plan to go off-grid, another way to save my endangered species, like the Polar Bear. Sometimes in life, you just have to find that you weren't meant to have the life you wanted, that you originally started out to find, something you wanted that was so much more than what you received. It's hard to hold on, and it's hard to let go. But, if things didn't end badly, they wouldn't end. I truly and honestly have never cared what anyone has ever thought of me because judge and thou shall be judged. I only had three that I cared about enough to care what they thought. One is passed away, and sometimes when things are over, they are just over. There are people that come and go in and out of your life for a time, not many have brought me joy, but I've had a lifetime of heartache. With this book, that ends now. There will never another second chance, the first one is the only one you get. For the ones that are gone, you know why you are and you will not contaminate me anymore. I have been hurt to the depths of my soul and beyond. But, now, with help, I will never allow it again. I believe in God taking care of those that Karma doesn't. Another thing, I want the world to know, I am not sorry for anything in my life that I have experienced. I am not sorry for my actions or in-actions. The only time I said I was sorry was when I was forced to. With two exceptions in this book that you will find. My motto has always been, if you're going to be sorry, then don't do it. And for those of you that I have hurt with my words, you hurt me first. I have no regrets, except for the people in my life I let in too long that caused the further damage that I didn't need, that started from childhood. I wish I hadn't stayed in situations, I wish I would have seen them for what they were. It's in the book.

Book Synopsis An Unfortunate Life by : Roger K. Wagstaff
Download or read book An Unfortunate Life written by Roger K. Wagstaff and published by . This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in 1896 a man named Joseph Marlo went missing and was last seen in the company of Joshua Beard. In 1897, Walter Richards disappeared after joining Beard on a hunting trip. In court, on a charge of stealing articles of clothing from Richards, Beard suddenly confident that he would be believed told the court he would tell them the 'honest truth'. He claimed that Richards had accidently shot himself and after being questioned about Marlo, Beard told police he had been killed by a kick from a horse. Beard's explanations were not believed and after a hearing at Streaky Bay he was sent to Adelaide to stand trial for the murder of Walter Richards.The more I researched the more I was aware that Beard did not get a fair trial. His explanations of both accidents were plausible but reporters, committed to boosting their newspapers circulation and acting on the principle 'never let the facts get in the way of a good story', reported both deaths to be gruesome murders. Based solely on circumstantial evidence and a flimsy and unprofitable motive, Beard, in a classic case of trial by media, was demonised by reporters. His quiet demeanour was interpreted by some reporters to be a "surly callousness". His powerful menacing build and the fact that he could neither read nor write led to him being described as "an incredibly ignorant lower form of life". In the eyes of newspaper readers, Beard was already guilty well before his appearance in the Supreme Court Adelaide.This book is as factual an account as it could be and, always ready to champion the underdog, I have put forward an argument for doubt.

Book Synopsis A Series of Unfortunate Events 01. The Bad Beginning by : Lemony Snicket
Download or read book A Series of Unfortunate Events 01. The Bad Beginning written by Lemony Snicket and published by Egmont Books (UK). This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is nothing to be found in the pages of A Series of Unfortunate Events but misery and despair. You still have time to choose another international best-seller to read. But if you must know what unpleasantries befall the charming and clever Baudelaire children read on . . . In The Bad Beginning the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune and cold porridge for breakfast. Then again, why trouble yourself with the unfortunate resolutions? With 5 million copies sold in the UK alone, one might consider Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events to make him one of the most successful children’s authors of the past decade. We, however, consider these miserable so-called adventure stories and the Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey that accompanied the books for children as nothing more than a dreadful mistake.
Book Synopsis The Unfortunate Importance of Beauty by : Amanda Filipacchi
Download or read book The Unfortunate Importance of Beauty written by Amanda Filipacchi and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A sure comic touch . . . smart and sweet . . . a tribute to the pleasures of friendship." —The New Yorker In the heart of New York City, a group of artistic friends struggles with society's standards of beauty. At the center are Barb and Lily, two women at opposite ends of the beauty spectrum, but with the same problem: each fears she will never find a love that can overcome her looks. Barb, a stunningly beautiful costume designer, makes herself ugly in hopes of finding true love. Meanwhile, her friend Lily, a brilliantly talented but plain-looking musician, goes to fantastic lengths to attract the man who has rejected her—with results that are as touching as they are transformative. To complicate matters, Barb and Lily discover that they may have a murderer in their midst, that Barb’s calm disposition is more dangerously provocative than her beauty ever was, and that Lily's musical talents are more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Part literary whodunit, part surrealist farce, The Unfortunate Importance of Beauty is a smart, modern-day fairy tale. With biting wit and offbeat charm, Amanda Filipacchi illuminates the labyrinthine relationship between beauty, desire, and identity, asking at every turn: what does it truly mean to allow oneself to be seen?

But by the time their visit to Greece was over, Nix had withdrawn from their friendship, and Mary had no idea why.

In the process she meets the first of many men that she will spend time with as she travels throughout the world.
