Download or read book My Story written by Bonitto and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Story is told by a young girl who had to grow up faster than any child should. It is April’s story, told in April’s voice. Readers follow April as she witnesses the awesome beauty of storms, births, and mangoes, feels the terror of a singularly unpleasant stepfather, the joy of an aunt with whom she feels a truly authentic connection, and the unimaginable anguish caused by the loss of that connection. But through her loss, April’s story takes on fascinating new dimensions. After her Auntie Marcie moves away, My Story ceases to be a simple memoir about growing up in Jamaica and turns into an intricately layered commentary on otherness and recursive patterns of violence and neglect within families. Fleeing the dominion of her stepfather Freddie, April and her siblings come under the protection of her Gramma. Little do they know, this protection is not what it seems, as April finds herself struggling to raise her entire family nearly single-handedly. Bonitto’s sparse prose leaves no facet of this journey unexplored, as April contends with an environment she knows nothing about, against odds which seem inevitably stacked against her. My Story isn’t just April’s story; it belongs to anybody who lived through such hard times, they thought they’d never even get to tell about them.

Download or read book 4 a.m. written by Nina De la Mer and published by Myriad Editions (US&CA). This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 4 a.m. is an iconic novel of friendship and betrayal, hedonism, and military discipline. The year is 1993 and Cal and Manny are soldiers posted to Germany as army chefs. Bored and institutionalized, the pair soon succumb to the temptations of recreational drugs and all-night raves in Hamburg's red-light district. Life-affirming clubbing soon gives way to gloomy, drug-fueled nights in fast-food restaurants, at sex shows, and in Turkish dive bars. As a succession of events ratchets up the pressure on Cal and Manny, their friendship is tested, a secret is revealed, and a shocking betrayal changes their lives forever. Drawing on personal experience and extensive research, 4 a.m. depicts life in a peacetime Army, and a civilian milieu in which conflict is never far away. Driven by two distinctive voices, and written in a lively and buzzing style, Nina de la Mer's debut novel holds a mirror up to youth culture at the end of the 20th century. The reflection is not always a flattering one.
