He can ask him anything, and is eager to learn all that Fred has to offer. One special year Chris learns about the true meaning of God's love while helping work in the garden. Throughout this special year, Chris pieces together clues left to him by his grandfather as to the location of a secret key, which reveals the ten lessons for living. Based on a true story, My Grandfathers Garden, takes us inside a young boy's mind and opens us up to loving lessons that transcend time. Tied together with select poems from Robert Frost, this beautiful story encourages us to discover our past and unlock the secrets of our soul.
Book Synopsis The Hidden Gifts of Dyslexia, Difference and Death by : Timothy G Spokes
Download or read book The Hidden Gifts of Dyslexia, Difference and Death written by Timothy G Spokes and published by Fontaine Press Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can your difficulties become stepping-stones to a successful future? Can a young boy overcome a serious reading difficulty and achieve beyond all expectations? For a few gruelling years in a Catholic boys’ school, where the Brothers carry a lash under their gowns ready to strike any boy who offends their strict code, Tim struggles with maths and English, and keeps mostly to himself. But he has an observant inner life, with hours spent wandering in the cemetery his grandfather tends, learning about death the leveller and the falsity of social class and wealth. Tim has pitch perfect hearing and a voice like an angel, and is marked out by the Principal Brother to become a priest. Not him! Suffering the tragedy of losing the only three close friends he makes over the years, he experiences living with dyslexia as a cross to bear, until he finds the key to a fearless destiny as a paramedic, trauma and emergency nurse, and academic. The gift of dyslexia has taught Tim to say, “Don’t reach for the sky—hell! Go for the stars. You really can do anything you want.” Wisdom, he says, is found in the strangest places. Among these pages you will experience what Tim learnt within his grandfather’s garden, a strange place to find wisdom—among the head stones and monuments, and where, he says, you can find yesterday’s people.

Book Synopsis In the Godfather Garden by : Richard Linnett
Download or read book In the Godfather Garden written by Richard Linnett and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Godfather Garden is the true story of the life of Richie “the Boot” Boiardo, one of the most powerful and feared men in the New Jersey underworld. The Boot cut his teeth battling the Jewish gang lord Abner Longy Zwillman on the streets of Newark during Prohibition and endured to become one of the East Coast’s top mobsters, his reign lasting six decades. To the press and the police, this secretive Don insisted he was nothing more than a simple man who enjoyed puttering about in his beloved vegetable garden on his Livingston, New Jersey, estate. In reality, the Boot was a confidante and kingmaker of politicians, a friend of such celebrities as Joe DiMaggio and George Raft, an acquaintance of Joseph Valachi—who informed on the Boot in 1963—and a sworn enemy of J. Edgar Hoover. The Boot prospered for more than half a century, remaining an active boss until the day he died at the age of ninety-three. Although he operated in the shadow of bigger Mafia names across the Hudson River (think Charles "Lucky" Luciano and Louis “Lepke” Buchalter, a cofounder of the Mafia killer squad Murder Inc. with Jacob “Gurrah” Shapiro), the Boot was equally as brutal and efficient. In fact, there was a mysterious place in the gloomy woods behind his lovely garden—a furnace where many thought the Boot took certain people who were never seen again. Richard Linnett provides an intimate look inside the Boot’s once-powerful Mafia crew, based on the recollections of a grandson of the Boot himself and complemented by never-before-published family photos. Chronicled here are the Prohibition gang wars in New Jersey as well as the murder of Dutch Schultz, a Mafia conspiracy to assassinate Newark mayor Kenneth Gibson, and the mob connections to several prominent state politicians. Although the Boot never saw the 1972 release of The Godfather, he appreciated the similarities between the character of Vito Corleone and himself, so much so that he hung a sign in his beloved vegetable garden that read “The Godfather Garden.” There’s no doubt he would have relished David Chase’s admission that his muse in creating the HBO series The Sopranos was none other than “Newark’s erstwhile Boiardo crew.”

Lucy asks Granddad, “Why doesn't your skin fit you? It's all crinkly,” to which he replies, “Those crinkles are called wrinkles,” each of which he got when he smiled especially big. As Lucy traces Granddad's joy-filled face, he describes his memories and shares the cause of each line—his wedding day, Lucy's mother's birth, precious moments from her childhood, and Lucy's birth, among others.
