Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second Edition I Ain’t Never Been Off This Street is a novel based on a salesman, Jake, who peddles insurance policies to lower income and working-class residents in a rundown apartment building at 8TH Street and 31ST Avenue. We meet and get a glimpse into the lives of several of the building's tenants as Jake, somewhat of a Southern charmer, shows up every month to collect premiums and solicit new customers. Handsome, sharp, and known for his salesmanship, there is still doubt as to whether or not he is a legitimate salesman; even amidst doubt, he is successful at selling the Peace of Mind that so many seek to validate their existence and importance in the world. On a recent visit to the apartment building, Jake is forced to learn more about the people behind the faces that he has replaced with dollar signs as he briefly steps out of his own privilege. An interaction with two fourteen year olds and the promise of money sets off a chain of events and regrets that can never be reversed as his eyes are opened to the day-to-day struggles in the lives of the people behind the dollar signs. On this day, Jake and those he comes into contact with are forced to come to terms with themselves, their plight, and their places in the world.

Book excerpt: Growing up on the rough streets of Newark, New Jersey, Rameck, George,and Sampson could easily have followed their childhood friends into drug dealing, gangs, and prison. But when a presentation at their school made the three boys aware of the opportunities available to them in the medical and dental professions, they made a pact among themselves that they would become doctors. It took a lot of determination—and a lot of support from one another—but despite all the hardships along the way, the three succeeded. Retold with the help of an award-winning author, this younger adaptation of the adult hit novel The Pact is a hard-hitting, powerful, and inspirational book that will speak to young readers everywhere.
Book Synopsis Leaving Breezy Street by : Brenda Myers-Powell
Download or read book Leaving Breezy Street written by Brenda Myers-Powell and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Told in an inimitable voice, Leaving Breezy Street is the stunning account of Brenda Myers-Powell’s brutal and beautiful life. “Careful—don’t think prostitution is just about money. It’s never just the money. It’s about slipping in at all the wrong places. Getting into dangerous situations and getting out of them. That’s exciting. That’s what you want. But you want something else, too.” What did Brenda Myers-Powell want? When she turned to prostitution at the age of fifteen, she wanted to support her two baby daughters and have a little money for herself. She was pretty and funny as hell, and although she called herself “Breezy,” she was also tough—a survivor in every sense of the word. Over the next twenty-five years, she would move across the country, finding new pimps, parties, drugs, and endless, profound heartache. And she would begin to want something else, something huge: a life of dignity, self-acceptance, and love. Astonishingly, she managed to find the strength to break from an unsparing world and save not only herself but also future Breezys. We have no say into which worlds we are born. But sometimes we can find a way out.

Book excerpt: 1790. Widowed without income, Martha Tilby is forced by the hunger of her five children to find work or face the workhouse. Fortune smiles down when she finds work for herself and her son in the fields of Tate Farm, where she meets the rugged and aloof Andrew Tate and his family. When Martha falls behind on the rent, she can’t understand why Barney Beemer, the rent collector, hasn’t thrown them out... until she finds bruises on her younger daughter Nona. Out of character, Martha takes a mother’s revenge but soon realizes that Beemer is not a forgiving man. To escape him, she takes her remaining children to London where she hides in the dark labyrinth of the East End’s narrow lanes and alley ways. But is she safe there from Beemer’s revenge? Emma, Martha’s eldest daughter, finds employment at Claydon House. But it is soon obvious to Emma that the staff live in fear of their cold calculating Mistress, that the Master is conspicuously absent and that the last maid has left without saying why. And even more peculiar yet, who is the strange man in the forest that gifts her a piece of silver - one which will soon cost two people their lives?
