Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written from my heart aft er the murder of my sister in 1999. My life was snuffed out of my very being and there was no light in sight to follow or bring me back home. So much sorrow and saddness was sucking me into a hollow black pit with no bottom. How could this happen to my sister, Jill? Why did this happen? How could I go on from here? Th is was such a cold blooded and sensless murder and things like this had never happened in our family or our town for that matter. Nothing could have compared and prepared my family of such a shocking event. Jill was stabbed in the back by a man she knew with a 13 inch butcher knife and died within a few minutes. Aja, ( Jill’s daugher) was in the kitchen and she heard a thump in the bathroom and ran in to see that her mother, her only parent involved in her little life was bleeding perfusely. Aja ran to the neighbors’ house to get help and call 9-1-1/ it was too late when the rescue squad arrived at the hospital. The entire family was there, with the exception of me, (I lived in Ohio) their faces pressed against the wet, cold glass looking on in disbelief. My daughter was at the hospital and called me, “saying mom! mom! Jill is gone”. I said, “what do you mean Jill is gone”; dreading to hear those fatal words, she is dead. Th is shocked the entire hospital for the attending doctor on duty attended school with Jill and knew her and most of the family. Th is was a sad dark day for us, for Princeton, WV. is a small town where everybody knows everybody. We hadn’t had many murders of this sort and never had we a murder up close and personal in our family. Jill was so well known that it was hard to pick a jury because she had helped men working on the rail road ( we grew up around trains) by giving them snacks and cold drinks of water. She went to school with most everyone on the jury or they had a kid who knew her. Finally, the trial starts and the reality really sinks in watching them pass around my sister.s

Book excerpt: Reshma was diagnosed with schizophrenia when she was 22. As she says, she didn’t ‘even know what the darn word meant’. In this extraordinary, first-of-its-kind account she writes about her experience of living with therapies and medication, struggling to make sense of her situation, surviving suicide attempts, finding support groups -- and finally coming into her own. With rare candour and clarity she recounts her sense of being ‘different’ as a teenager, while rebelling against all attempts to pigeon-hole and discipline her. Her will to overcome the tremendous odds she faced enabled her to gain unexpected insights into her condition, and her story, told in utterly unsparing prose, is courageous, powerful, eloquent and poignant.

Book excerpt: Steve Martin has been an international star for over thirty years. Here, for the first time, he looks back to the beginning of his career and charmingly evokes the young man he once was. Born in Texas but raised in California, Steve was seduced early by the comedy shows that played on the radio when the family travelled back and forth to visit relatives. When Disneyland opened just a couple of miles away from home, an enchanted Steve was given his first chance to learn magic and entertain an audience. He describes how he noted the reaction to each joke in a ledger - 'big laugh' or 'quiet' - and assiduously studied the acts of colleagues, stealing jokes when needed. With superb detail, Steve recreates the world of small, dark clubs and the fear and exhilaration of standing in the spotlight. While a philosophy student at UCLA, he worked hard at local clubs honing his comedy and slowly attracting a following until he was picked up to write for TV. From here on, Steve Martin became an acclaimed comedian, packing out venues nationwide. One night, however, he noticed empty seats and realised he had 'reached the top of the rollercoaster'. BORN STANDING UP is a funny and riveting chronicle of how Steve Martin became the comedy genius we now know and is also a fascinating portrait of an era.

Book excerpt: A thrilling and propulsive novel of an Antarctica expedition gone wrong and its far-reaching consequences for the explorers and their families "leaves the reader moved and subtly changed, as if she had become part of the story" (Hilary Mantel). “McGregor’s depiction of speechlessness, both metaphorical and physical, makes the novel much more interesting than if he had provided a page-turner about a botched expedition in Antarctica . . . McGregor’s carefully composed dialogue, filled with the repetition of so few words, had an eerie effect on me: for several days my own inner dialogue was often composed of the same words, as though I, too, was discovering how they could express drastically different emotions yet remain unreadable to the world." —Yiyun Li, New York Review of Books Remember the training: find shelter or make shelter, remain in place, establish contact with other members of the party, keep moving, keep calm. Robert 'Doc' Wright, a veteran of Antarctic surveying, was there on the ice when the worst happened. He holds within him the complete story of that night—but depleted by the disaster, Wright is no longer able to communicate the truth. Instead, in the wake of the catastrophic expedition, he faces the most daunting adventure of his life: learning a whole new way to be in the world. Meanwhile Anna, his wife, must suddenly scramble to navigate the sharp and unexpected contours of life as a caregiver. From the Booker Prize-longlisted, American Academy of Arts & Letters Award-winning author of Reservoir 13, this is a novel every bit as mesmerizing as its setting. Tenderly unraveling different notions of heroism through the rippling effects of one extraordinary expedition on an ordinary family, Lean Fall Stand explores the indomitable human impulse to turn our experiences into stories—even when the words may fail us.

This book was released on 2006-07-11 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “From the Book of Job to the Life of Job Titus Cannon: Standing Tall While Facing the Trials That Come Into Your Life,” written by Job Titus Cannon, is an inspiring faith based work which shares with the reader the personal challenges and struggles the author and many Christians encounter in everyday life while eventually prospering. Furthermore, this book encourages Christian believers that faith and a love for God can allow you (and any other believer) to overcome struggles that may come into your everyday life. The Book of Job is one of the truly amazing stories in the Holy Bible. It is a great place to find encouragement when experiencing difficulties and dilemmas. We all face personal problems in our lives. But more importantly, the Book of Job also gives us an example of how to handle great challenges in our lives. Job (the Bible patriarch) is wealthy, successful, and highly respected. He is a man of God and a man of family. But life happens and calamity comes. Everything that Job has and everything that he knows is destroyed. Job’s faith is challenged. As a result of Job’s challenges, he is forced to reevaluate everything he thought he was. He realized that it was easy to be faithful and strong when everything was going well, but when he was stripped of everything...... Job never cursed God, but he questioned God. In the end, Job realized that suffering is a part of the Christian walk, and eventually he was not only restored of all he lost, but the Holy Bible tells that he received twice as much as he had before. In “From the Book of Job to the Life of Job Titus Cannon: Standing Tall While Facing the Trials that Come into Your Life”, each chapter begins with thought provoking questions. These questions encourage the reader to look to the Holy Bible while using the life of Job as a reference, along with interspersing Job Titus Cannon’s own experiences. Among the issues the author confronts are: God’s ability to make an example out of one’s life, our ability to react positively to life’s negative moments, can a person ever be ready to handle really bad occurrences?, do we have an effective support staff of loving friends and family to surround us in our time of need?, our attitude towards the response of God in our time of need, and our ability to properly handle the bestowed blessings following the turbulent storm. This book gives examples of how the bible patriarch Job handled his numerous storms. This book also gives perspective and scriptural references to help the modern day Christian overcome the many trials that they may face. Job Titus Cannon’s ability to convey his own experiences along with relating them to biblical teachings further enhances the appeal of the book. This book is not only personable but practical because we all struggle with standing tall while facing trials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A beautifully written and well-researched cultural criticism as well as an honest memoir” (Los Angeles Review of Books) from the author of the popular New York Times essay, “To Fall in Love with Anyone, Do This,” explores the romantic myths we create and explains how they limit our ability to achieve and sustain intimacy. What really makes love last? Does love ever work the way we say it does in movies and books and Facebook posts? Or does obsessing over those love stories hurt our real-life relationships? When her parents divorced after a twenty-eight year marriage and her own ten-year relationship ended, those were the questions that Mandy Len Catron wanted to answer. In a series of candid, vulnerable, and wise essays that takes a closer look at what it means to love someone, be loved, and how we present our love to the world, “Catron melds science and emotion beautifully into a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation” (Bookpage). She delves back to 1944, when her grandparents met in a coal mining town in Appalachia, to her own dating life as a professor in Vancouver. She uses biologists’ research into dopamine triggers to ask whether the need to love is an innate human drive. She uses literary theory to show why we prefer certain kinds of love stories. She urges us to question the unwritten scripts we follow in relationships and looks into where those scripts come from. And she tells the story of how she decided to test an experiment that she’d read about—where the goal was to create intimacy between strangers using a list of thirty-six questions—and ended up in the surreal situation of having millions of people following her brand-new relationship. “Perfect fodder for the romantic and the cynic in all of us” (Booklist), How to Fall in Love with Anyone flips the script on love. “Clear-eyed and full of heart, it is mandatory reading for anyone coping with—or curious about—the challenges of contemporary courtship” (The Toronto Star).

This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An admired civil servant reveals the principles and life lessons she learned that transformed her thinking and actions from poverty-level living to a successful life and career in the federal government as a member of the Senior Executive Service. Askers, Seekers, and Knockers: I ASKED takes you on a journey filled with life lessons and experiences that demonstrate how anyone can create their own personal journey to success. Through deliberate, persistent, and dedicated actions, Carolyn Jean McMillon illustrates a powerful and inspirational step-by-step process to help you design a personal plan of action to get you from where you are today to the success you desire tomorrow. McMillon demonstrates through the principles of Asking, Seeking, and Knocking that it is not your beginning that dictates where you end up, but your choices. She makes a dare to every reader that forces them to evaluate the what-ifs of life. So what if you were not born a member of the privileged class, did not receive an Ivy League education, were not fortunate enough to have a formal mentor to take you under their wings, did not have that stellar job assignments, did not finish school, had a broken home life and a dysfunctional family, have more than your share of life's obstacles and challenges, were not fortunate enough to have a pre-planned successful path laid out for your life, and the "I did not have" and what-ifs list could go on and on and on. If you have grown tired of having a pity party and using one excuse after another as reasons why you are suffering with lack in your life, this book is definitely for you. An engaging and powerful storyteller, McMillon uses enlightening parables and vignettes to offer sage advice and wisdom about making choices that impact one's life. Through positive thought-provoking exercises, this book enables readers to map out their own personal journey to success by getting rid of limiting beliefs and self-defeating doubts and putting into action new directions that will take them to their high places in life. When you give up the pity party, stop blaming things that you can't change, and focus on changing the things you can, your circumstances will change! Why is McMillon so adamantly sure that you can transform and change the direction of your life? Because she did it.
