Book excerpt: Nightclubs are closing at such a rate in Britain - down from an estimated 4,200 in 1994 to around 1,700 in 2017 - that they could soon be a relic of a bygone age. This book is set in the period from the mid 1970's to the mid 1980's. The country was emerging from a time of grim austerity with industrial strikes and the imposed 3-day working week. People still needed to enjoy themselves, though, and with pubs back then closing at 11 pm, many found their fun at the nightclub during this golden age of disco. What was it like to be a part of it all? This is an account of one young man's journey through clubland, experiencing the glamour and hedonism, and inevitably finding love. But, there was also the harsh life behind the scenes: the daily grind, constant insecurity, and the threat of physical violence. With its tales of love and laughter, tears and tragedy, this is a unique insight into a social and cultural aspect of British life that could soon be gone forever.

Paul runs the pub, girlfriend Christine rules the roost, and little brother Jayson hosts the karaoke. On the eve of a demonstration tensions are running high. The mosque want to build a community centre next door and the English Protection Army aren’t happy. Paul is going to fight this tooth and nail, but he knows the public won’t listen to a bunch of hooligans. Meanwhile, younger brother Jayson thinks this could be his time to shine. Family or not, this is England and it’s time to take it back. Albion examines the turbulent rise of the new far right in modern day Britain. When they embrace diversity, just how far can the far right go?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a best beach/summer read by O, The Oprah Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Parade, PopSugar, Marie Claire, Bustle, and more! From the author of the Love at First Like and Playing with Matches, an electrifying rom-com set in the high stakes world of competitive gymnastics, full of Hannah Orenstein’s signature “charm, whimsy, and giddy romantic tension” (BuzzFeed). The past seven years have been hard on Avery Abrams: After training her entire life to make the Olympic gymnastics team, a disastrous performance ended her athletic career for good. Her best friend and teammate, Jasmine, went on to become an Olympic champion, then committed the ultimate betrayal by marrying their emotionally abusive coach, Dimitri. Now, reeling from a breakup with her football star boyfriend, Avery returns to her Massachusetts hometown, where new coach Ryan asks her to help him train a promising young gymnast with Olympic aspirations. Despite her misgivings and worries about the memories it will evoke, Avery agrees. Back in the gym, she’s surprised to find sparks flying with Ryan. But when a shocking scandal in the gymnastics world breaks, it has shattering effects not only for the sport but also for Avery and her old friend Jasmine. Perfect for fans of Emily Giffin and Jasmine Guillory, Head Over Heels proves that no one “writes about modern relationships with more humor or insight than Hannah Orenstein” (Dana Schwartz, author of Choose Your Own Disaster).

Download or read book Recycling Your Soul: Overcoming Limitations of an Abusive Childhood written by Albert Dedmon and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being raised by hostile negative adults creates enormous conflicts within our mind and soul. The resulting person is left with many unanswered questions that continue to haunt them during their lifetime. A life filled with turmoil will continue until they decide to become responsible for discovering who they really are. This book is dedicated to the brave souls who see that this decision is their true pathway to living a life once only dreamed of. As they begin the search for answers to the many nagging questions that occupy their thoughts, "Why me, dear God?" is the one that constantly returns to haunt the mind of an abused child for a lifetime. Seeking answers to these "why" questions has energized and motivated my search for truth my entire life. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg and just the beginning of your building a life you will be proud to look back upon and share with others. The fact you are searching for answers indicates you have finally reached a point in life where you are now ready for the wisdom and truth necessary to understand the many questions remaining. While all negative experiences in life have a good and bad side, not all books on this subject present the truth about how to make the changes in your life. This book will explain how to use the pain, terror, and humiliation you survived as the foundation upon which you can construct a new life filled with happiness and achievements. I know from personal experience those answers you seek are within you. The truth of who you are is buried beneath the garbage of the past and within your grasp. Many of us have survived the pain of child abuse by application of the time tested wisdoms contained here, so trust me when I say your search will uncover all the goodness and joy you seek by uncovering your true self. Remember, God didn't bring you this far to drop you on your head and forget you. All you need to keep in mind is to never give up. Work on developing your faith, never lose sight of the bright future ahead, and you will accomplish the job of destroying the past and making room for the real you. I know this will work because it's a firsthand account of a boy who survived severe child abuse and became a man who now lives a wonderful life.

Download or read book Life in the Gang written by Scott H. Decker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-08-28 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is based on three years of field work with 99 active gang members and 24 family members. The book describes the attractiveness of gangs, the process of joining, their chaotic and loose organisation, and their members' predominant activities - mostly hanging out, drinking, and using drugs. The authors also discuss gang members' rather slapdash involvement in major property crime and their disorganised participation in drug traffic, as well as the often fatal consequences of their violent life-style. Although the book focuses on the individual, organisational, and institutional aspects of gang membership, it also explores gang members' involvement with other school and neighborhood structures. Extensive interviews with family members provide groundbreaking insights into the gang members' lives. As much as possible, however, the story is told in the gang members' own words.

Book excerpt: Based on a heart-rending and much discussed series in the Washington Post, this is the story of one woman and her family living in the projects in Washington, D.C. A transcendent piece of writing, it won the Pulitzer Prize and the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. For four years Leon Dash of the Washington Post followed the lives of Rosa Lee Cunningham, her children, and five of her grandchildren, in an effort to understand the persistence of poverty and pathology within America's black underclass. Rosa Lee's life story spans a half century of hardship in the slums and housing projects of Southeast Washington, a stone's throw from the marble halls and civic monuments of the world's most prosperous nation. Yet for all of America's efforts, Rosa Lee and millions like her remain trapped in a cycle of poverty characterized by illiteracy, teenage pregnancy, drugs, and violent crime. Dash brings us into her life and the lives of her family members offering a human drama that statistics can only refer to. He also shows how some people -- including two of Rosa Lee's children -- have made it out of the ghetto, breaking the cycle to lead stable middle-class lives in the mainstream of American society.

Download or read book A COMPARTMENTALIZED LIFE written by John Stephen Parker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, John Stephen Parker acknowledges that from the moment he began to gain his own personal beliefs and establish his own foundation for life as a young boy, he also gained an ability to compartmentalize people, events, and experiences. John has found that this is both a blessing and a curse to have been given this ability. Having seen a great deal of life from both ends of the spectrum, and living through year after year with all the changes, both triumphant and tragic, that has compounded his life, he can tell you that he sees in his mind that which sometimes his own eyes and the eyes of others doubt. His stories are about true life, love, relationships, marriage, music, all with the backdrop of a career in coaching, and trials that go along with the profession. This book focuses on many of the tribulations of life, with many humorous and occasionally disheartening sagas of which many people will without a doubt relate to.
