Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Ishiaku Ada Fatima, born on December 25, 1975, in Kaduna state, Lagos Nigeria. I grew with a man that I thought was my dad, not knowing he wasn't my dad. I was sexually abused before the age of seven 'til I was fourteen years old. How I almost killed myself, how I lived on alcohol, how my mother treated me so badly. Now I'm using my story to help victims like me, to help them break their silence by speaking out and also to let the world know what sexually abused girls go through mostly in Nigeria and also to let people know that victims should not be bullied. I believe my book will help victims speak out and also open the eyes of society to see what victims go through that way people can help them and not bully them. Mothers in Africa believed victims should keep quiet because they see this act as a taboo while the victims die in silence. This book is about saving the girl child by breaking the silence.

Download or read book I Called Him Grand Dad written by Thomas T. Jr. Fields and published by Thomas Fields. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿I Called Him Grand Dad¿ by Thomas T. Fields, Jr. ¿I Called Him Grand Dad¿ is a Biography of Harvey Goodwin Fields written by his grandson Thomas T. Fields. The book itself is an exploration in not only Field¿s life but also about America. It explores the behind the scenes politics at the levels of both state and federal levels. It delves into the everyday life, setting the stage for industry, work conditions, laws and ethics while giving us a rich insight about a man who was convicted by his own standards and who by his actions did what he thought was right. An advocate of the Law, Fields would rise to fame and notoriety of one of the greatest legal minds and Public Servants in American History. This book covers our history from the late 1800¿s until the mid 1900¿s and is truly a chronicle of our America. Through two World Wars, the great depression, prohibition, unionizing, high profile court cases such as the Scopes Trail and his runs on State and Federal positions including the White House, Harvey G. Fields had a remarkable life that you can now be a part of too. This book, unlike many that draw conclusions by theory to what was thought and what was said is supported with dozens upon dozens of actual letters, memo¿s and notes written by fields himself. Fields himself was a Progressive Democrat and will appeal to the party of today in his thoughts, actions and legislation. For the opposition to the Democratic Party of today it will give you insights to the workings of, and the history of that party. However, no matter which side you fall on, pro or con in the political arena this is a book about our country and it is rich with our history as a nation. Craig Anderson Our History Project

Rob Kenney’s father left him and his seven siblings when he was fourteen years old, and the youngest had to fend for themselves. He wished that he had someone who could teach him the basics—how to tie a tie, jump-start a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly—as well as succeed in life. But he and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own. Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people out by providing how-to tips as well as advice—and even throw in some bad dad jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational videos. In this book, Rob shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood with the strength of faith and family, and offers inspiration and hope. In addition, he provides 50 practical DYI instructions (30 of which will be unique to the book), illustrated with helpful line drawings.

Download or read book Kwa Mabinti written by Purity and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an extremely honest letter to daughters, written by a mother. It is a story of her life and the memories and experiences she has had. She has not had the easiest life growing up, but faith and people strategically placed in her life helped her survive and encouraged her to tell her story. She talks of the feeling of being rejected, of never being able to measure up to the expectations of others, of sexual abuse as a child, of mourning, of bad decisions in her life, of porn addiction, and of a feeling of not being fully accepted by those around her. It is a story of anger and hurt, of feeling vulnerable and unprotected. It is a story about the brokenness of humanity showing how we fail over and over again, and it tells how God readily gives us a second and third chance. It is also a story of God's forgiveness, of learning to forgive others; it is a story of God's healing. The letter is written to encourage the daughters to live a life of faith, one that pleases God no matter the circumstances they find themselves in. A letter that encourages them to hold on to God even if those around them do not; a story that tells them that just because others say they are Christians does not mean they will not hurt them or let them down. It also reminds them that they too will fail sometimes, and it tells them of the importance of picking themselves up, forgiving themselves, seeking forgiveness from God, and walking on the narrow path. We are all still human, Christian or not, and we should focus on God and not those around us. Only God sees and judges the heart of man.
