Download or read book The Raffle Baby: An astounding lyrical novel inspired by a shocking true story of the Great Depression written by Ruth Talbot and published by Amy Ruth Allen. This book was released on 2022-01-23 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Purchase a ticket for a chance to win a rosy-cheeked little one. Ladies particularly welcome. With precise, breathtaking prose and hints of magical realism, Ruth Talbot tells the tale of three orphans as they crisscross the country in the 1930s, riding the rails, chasing the harvests, and stealing when they must. Their destination is always the same: survival. Teeny, Sonny Boy and Vic have been swallowed up by the desperation and devastation of the Great Depression, but the trio is buoyed by the fantastical tales Teeny weaves around campfires in hobo jungles and migrant camps, including the story of the raffle baby. As the three navigate the ravages of poverty and prejudices, they form a family bond as strong as the forces against them. But when a solemn pact fails to protect them, their lives are forever changed. And Sonny Boy is left to tell their story, and his own. Both heartbreaking and uplifting, The Raffle Baby examines the intersection of love, loss and resilience, and the enduring triumph of memory. This is a magical tale not soon forgotten. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviews "Every word was music to my ears." "So beautifully written I couldn't put it down." "Ruth Talbot has a delicate, beautiful usage of words." "A beautiful picture of this era of American history." "A unique and emotionally satisfying story." "A truly heartfelt story." "The author clearly knows the secrets of the human heart."

Book excerpt: May 19, 2027: The United States is now The New United States. Los Angeles is mostly a wasteland after a multi-pronged biological, nuclear and electromagnetic pulse attack paralyzed and altered Southern California on July 4, 2016. Without electricity and under the influence of a virus heightening racial preferences, Southern California fractured into four distinct ethnic enclaves battling each other until the New United States provides an offer New Angelinos cannot refuse: The Raffle. After ten years, Ramsey Arami finally makes it to the final stage of the final and is "encouraged" by The New United States to write a letter to any family living in the New United States. Ramsey pens a letter to his wife and daughter living in the NUS having made a fateful and fortunate trip east without him on July 3, 2016. Ramsey explains the last ten years, but should he so blindly trust The New United States?

Download or read book High Times Hard Times written by Anita O'Day and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-24 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating the One Hundredth Anniversary of Anita O'Day's Birth. Jazz legend Anita O'Day was one of the most remarkable and unforgettable talents of the jazz world. A swinging, good-humored stylist, O'Day rose to fame as a vocalist with the Gene Krupa Big Band ("Let Me Off Uptown") and the Stan Kenton Band ("And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine") in the 1940s before she became a successful solo act in the 1950s—punctuated by her energetic performance at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, as captured in the concert film Jazz on a Summer's Day. Unfortunately, O'Day was as well known for her drug problems as her jazz singing, and in High Times Hard Times, O'Day offers an unvarnished personal account of her life, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the golden age of jazz. Starting out with her grisly 1966 overdose, then flashing back to tell all from the beginning, High Times Hard Times presents an intimate portrait of a larger-than-life jazz and big-band singer—the success of her early career, the tragedy of heroin addiction, her painful recovery, and her ultimate triumph. Filled with vivid characters, including Gene Krupa, Stan Kenton, Roy Eldridge, Billie Holiday, and other jazz legends, this candid, classic memoir is a must-read for anyone interested in the real details of jazz's golden age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following recent growth of ethical consumerism, customers and other stakeholders increasingly pressure organizations to be socially responsible and minimize their negative impact on the environment. Accordingly, a plethora of firms have integrated corporate social responsibility (CSR) at the center of their business strategies and actions. Whilst this has resulted in many firms meeting their broader responsibilities toward society and the environment, some firms have used CSR in a manipulative and insincere way. As stakeholders become aware of such misuse of CSR, largely thanks to the rapid evolution of information technologies, they start to penalize firms by spreading negative word of mouth about them, and specifically about their CSR knowledge, values, and actions. Now, more than ever before, stakeholders are increasingly critical and cautious in their assessments of firms’ CSR knowledge, values, and actions. On this background, this edited volume sheds light on different internal and external perspectives spanning CSR knowledge, values, and actions. It shares theoretical, practical, and case-based insights on the broader topic and can be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and advanced students in the fields of CSR and business ethics, knowledge management, strategy, and marketing.
