Download or read book Leave Myself Behind written by Bart Yates and published by Kensington Publishing Corp.. This book was released on 2012-07-11 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Noah’s voice is more than just honest or original; it’s real.” --The Plain Dealer THE WORLD ACCORDING TO NOAH YORK: “Anybody who tells you he doesn’t have mixed feelings about his mother is either stupid or a liar.” “Real life seldom makes me cry. The only thing that gets to me is the occasional Kodak commercial.” “Sometimes I feel like Michelangelo, chiseling away at all the crap until nothing is left but the exquisite thing in the middle that no one else sees until it’s uncovered for them.” “Anyway...” Meet seventeen-year-old Noah York, the hilariously profane, searingly honest, completely engaging narrator of Bart Yates’s astonishing debut novel. With a mouth like a truck driver and eyes that see through the lies of the world, Noah is heading into a life that’s only getting more complicated by the day. His dead father is fading into a snapshot memory. His mother, the famous psycho-poet, has relocated them from Chicago to a rural New England town that looks like an advertisement for small-town America—a bad advertisement. He can’t seem to start a sentence without using the “f” word. And now, the very house he lives in is coming apart at the seams—literally—torn down bit by bit as he and his mother renovate the old Victorian. But deep within the walls lie secrets from a previous life—mason jars stuffed with bits of clothing, scraps of writing, old photographs—disturbing clues to the mysterious existence of a woman who disappeared decades before. While his mother grows more obsessed and unsettled by the discovery of these homemade reliquaries, Noah fights his own troubling obsession with the boy next door, the enigmatic J.D. It is J.D. who begins to quietly anchor Noah to his new life. J.D., who is hiding terrible, haunting pain behind an easy smile and a carefree attitude. Part Portnoy, part Holden Caulfield, never less than truthful, and always fully human, Noah York is a touching and unforgettable character. His story is one of hope and heartbreak, love and redemption, of holding on to old wounds when new skin is what’s needed, and of the power of growing up whole once every secret has been set free. “Noah’s blunt, funny and dead-on narrative will lend this memorable tale of young-but-cynical love a fresh resonance with readers of all ages, gay or straight, male or female.” --Brian Malloy, author of The Year of Ice

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the absolute raw pain of surviving through life after childhood incest. The raw pain emotionally. The raw pain physiologically. The raw pain spiritually. The raw pain mentally. The raw pain physically. The raw pain sexually. The horrific damage done to one's entire soul. This book is about surviving in a sphere far beyond just walking this earth. This book is about the destruction done as a result of incest far beyond those physical moments of that touching. This book is about the carnage left behind long after those moments of incest were over; the touch was gone. This book was written not only for incest survivors but also for those who are living with raw pain from abuse of any kind. So survivors of all forms of abuse can tap into and embrace and validate their own life stories of abuse; each one's individual feelings of raw pain no matter where they came from. This book was written from a realm beyond a physical existence. This book is written to tell the world that incest and abuse of any kind, especially done to a child, is a lifelong sentence. Surviving after those moments of touch whether done once or a thousand times has the same impact. Those moments of violation alter one's life and life choices FOREVER! There is no such thing as living a life that remotely seems fair or just; nothing even close to "normal". The changes of a healthy, full life are stolen from you - TAKEN! It takes years to put the pieces together; to make sense of any of it. But only if you are fortunately enough to do so!

Book excerpt: I left at dawn on a rainy day. I left as he slept, believing that he’d still find me in his arms when he woke up. I left, taking everything I’d promised him. I took it all, and neither of us would ever have it again. I left, turning my back on everything I knew, believing I could never be part of it. I left the man who loved me, the family who raised me. I left my home, my roots, my dreams. I left my whole life behind in search of a past that was never mine. I hurt everyone who loved me, and broke him into so many pieces that I know I’ll never deserve his forgiveness. But I’m here, now, trying to rebuild everything I’ve destroyed. I’m trying to find what I thought I’d lost. And although he says that he’ll never be the same, though he says that there’s nothing left of him, I can’t abandon him again. I can’t say goodbye to us. They say that you always find your way back to happiness, but I’ve found my way back to the only place I’ve ever felt at home. I’ve found my way back to him. Each book in the series is standalone: The Best Man The First Man The Good Man The Only Man The Wrong Man The Lost Man
Book Synopsis I Can Laugh Again by : Chloe Taylor Brown

Book excerpt: I Can Laugh Again is all about love. It's truly an evocative story about love's essential and enduring qualities. Chloe Taylor Brown bares her soul-her dreams, hopes, losses, pains, and gains-in a riveting account you cannot read without taking part yourself in her transformation. The impetus for the narrative involves the tragic death of her nearly four-year-old son, Justin; but Justin's life is just the stepping stone, if you will, upon which she reminisces throughout her life's journey, blazing a path from rural Mississippi to the highest strata of the world of fashion. In the end, as we've shared her passage from heartbreak to triumph, she gives us a glimpse of heaven. My long-time friend Chloe paints a vivid and easily recognizable map to finding a practical faith. No matter the obstacles, in the end she assures us that we can trust a Power greater than ourselves to get us through, with more grace than we ever imagined. You'll find yourself immersed in more than one love story: a mother's abiding love for her children; Chlo's undying love for her husband, Rick, and his deep love for her; their constant love for their children and their families; and the outpouring of love from their spiritual family all over the world. Above all, there is the prevailing Power of God's redeeming Love. I encourage you, dear reader, to accept the priceless, immeasurable, and timeless gift of reading this book. It is my prayer that you will encounter the universal language of the heart, which this memoir brings so poignantly to the surface. You'll surely gain a new appreciation for the simple values that make life worth living. Enough said by me. Go ahead and trust your heart: Discover and rediscover the unending Power of Love.
Book Synopsis I Am in Bed with You by : Emma Barnes
Download or read book I Am in Bed with You written by Emma Barnes and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold, playful, poetic exploration of sex, gender, and identity. "I am in bed with you. The room varies. But I'm always on the left. I am pulling the pieces of myself into myself. In the winter I left myself behind in the 90s. I'm coming back now. You can see the light touching me. I can see layers of tissue finally making a body. And once I have a body I have a head. And in my head are these thoughts." —From 'I am in bed with you' Playful and fluid but completely serious, Emma Barnes's surreal phantasmagoria I Am in Bed with You leads us through the very personal worlds of sex, gender, and the body. Barnes cracks jokes, makes us uncomfortable, shows us a little tenderness, leaves a lot unsaid, and does it all with language that provokes and confounds. 'I'm a mentally ill, / married, chronically ill, queer woman with two feet underground,' the author reveals. 'I birth Sigourney Weaver's android baby,' they tell us next. This collection is personal and fantastical, funny and excruciating. It's poetry in the process of unravelling most of what you thought you knew.
Book Synopsis Dropped Threads 2 by : Carol Shields
Download or read book Dropped Threads 2 written by Carol Shields and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-05-28 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for Dropped Threads: What We Aren't Told came up between Carol Shields and longtime friend Marjorie Anderson over lunch. It appeared that after decades of feminism, the “women's network” still wasn't able to prevent women being caught off-guard by life. There remained subjects women just didn't talk about, or felt they couldn't talk about. Holes existed in the fabric of women's discourse, and they needed examining. They asked thirty-four women to write about moments in life that had taken them by surprise or experiences that received too little discussion, and then they compiled these pieces into a book. It became an instant number one bestseller, a book clubs' favourite and a runaway success. Dropped Threads, says Anderson, "tapped into a powerful need to share personal stories about life's defining moments of surprise and silence." Readers recognized themselves in these honest and intimate stories; there was something universal in these deeply personal accounts. Other stories and suggestions poured in. Dropped Threads would clearly be an ongoing project. Like the first volume, Dropped Threads 2 features stories by well-known novelists and journalists such as Jane Urquhart, Susan Swan and Shelagh Rogers, but also many excellent new writers including teachers, mothers, a civil servant, a therapist. This triumphant follow-up received a starred first review in Quill and Quire magazine, which called it “compassionate and unflinching.” The book deals with such difficult topics as loss, depression, disease, widowhood, violence, and coming to terms with death. Several stories address some of the darker sides of motherhood: - A mother describes how, while sleep-deprived and in a miserable marriage, she is shocked to find infanticide crossing her mind. - Another woman recounts a memory of her alcoholic mother demanding the children prove their loyalty in a terrifying way. - A woman desperate for children refers to the bleak truth as: "Another Christmas of feeling barren." Narrating the fertility treatment she undergoes, the hopes dashed, she is amusing in retrospect and yet brutally honest. While they deal with loss and trauma, the pieces show the path to some kind of acceptance, showing the authors’ determination to learn from pain and pass on the wisdom gained. The volume also covers the rewards of learning to be a parent, choosing to remain single, or fitting in as a lesbian parent. It explores how women feel when something is missing in a friendship, how they experience discrimination, relationship challenges, and other emotions less easily defined but just as close to the bone: - Alison Wearing in “My Life as a Shadow” subtly describes allowing her personality to be subsumed by her boyfriend's. - Pamela Mala Sinha tells how, after suffering a brutal attack, she felt self-hatred and a longing for retribution. - Dana McNairn talks of her uncomfortable marriage to a man from a different social background: "I wanted to fit in with this strange, wondrous family who never raised their voices, never swore and never threw things at one another." Humour, a confiding tone, and beautiful writing elevate and enliven even the darkest stories. Details bring scenes vividly to life, so we feel we are in the room with Barbara Defago when the doctor tells her she has breast cancer, coolly dividing her life into a 'before and after.' Lucid, reflective and poignant, Dropped Threads 2 is for anyone interested in women's true stories.

Book excerpt: Keith Colvin was a successful, middle-aged business man who seemed to have everything in the world the way he wanted it. He loved his kayaking adventures in Colorado, skiing in New England, and piloting his own plane wherever he wanted to go. He was an ex-navy S.E.A.L who loved to dive all over the world and supported his favorite charitable cause Doctors without Borders. The man seemed to have it all until he disappeared one Sunday afternoon off Mount Washington, leaving a suicide note saying that he had gone in search of his "Final Resting Place." When it is discovered that Mr. Colvin left behind a string of indictments for embezzlement; the U.S. Marshal Service gives the case to one of their finest agents, Michael Rodela. It is no longer a matter of guilt or innocence. It is a matter of life and death. Keith Colvin was the man who had everything to live for but gave it all up in an instant. Or did he?
