Risking the Rapids by Irene O'Garden Pdf
A memoir of a dysfunctional, grieving family reuniting for a turbulent rafting trip, from an author with a “captivating talent for wonder and marvel.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love After the sudden death of Irene O’Garden’s older brother, she and her family decide to seek closure together by taking a journey through the remotest spot in Montana. The story of their harrowing trip on the river is intertwined here with the author’s account of growing up with her six siblings in a clashing Catholic family under the shadow of alcoholism. O’Garden’s father, a local TV personality in Minnesota, leaves his cheery public persona behind when he comes home and starts drinking martinis with his undemonstrative, icy-hearted wife. The children vary in their responses to profound anxiety sown in an atmosphere of neglect, psychological abuse, and rigid religiosity: One brother bites his fingers to gangrene. One relentlessly bullies the author, who begins overeating compulsively. One severs all ties with the family. Meanwhile, in the present, danger mounts as well on the raft trip, when unusual river conditions swell and speed the waters. Both stories build with escalating intensity to excruciating climaxes. Some memoirs shock. Some entertain. Some take us places we’re afraid to go. A rare few move us. Once in a blue moon, a book does it all. This is Risking the Rapids. “Enthralling.” —Malachy McCourt, author of A Monk Swimming “A deep and powerful memoir.” —Martha Beck, author of Finding Your Own North Star “Breathtaking . . . O’Garden adds a thoroughly welcome voice to the rich vein of American literature on the singular healing powers of wilderness.” —Florence Williams, award-winning author of The Nature Fix

What We Have Lost by Robert Lee Pdf
When the hen lays her eggs, the shells are soft and pliable, forming their durable armour as they experience the outside world. Each of us enters the world, with similarly flawed and weak shells. Our shells are not broken and cracked by life, but are formed of the fragments that we encounter, piece by piece, growing more complete with each experience. What We Have Lost is a series of disconnected but closely related anecdotes in the lives of a family shaped by extreme poverty. These individual narratives chronicle the slow sculpting of the characters, as they fuse with their world, enveloped in mental illness. Molded by their mother’s paranoia, social isolation and obsessive drive to instill the hunger for learning and sense of duty to others, the four siblings evolve in unique and often pathological ways. Not knowing or understanding the bonds of familial love, Garry, Judy, Rob and Roger need to discover their own path to personal peace. None may make it. What We Have Lost exposes the cruelty of poverty. It opens up the heart of that world, in surprising and convoluted ways. The pathos is clear, the hidden pleasures need unearthing. What We Have Lost is a collection of anecdotes, but, as you read, you will find that they are far from disconnected, after all.

The Fool's Progress by Edward Abbey Pdf
The Fool's Progress, the "fat masterpiece" as Edward Abbey labeled it, is his most important piece of writing: it reveals the complete Ed Abbey, from the green grass of his memory as a child in Appalachia to his approaching death in Tuscon at age sixty two. When his third wife abandons him in Tucson, boozing, misanthropic anarchist Henry Holyoak Lightcap shoots his refrigerator and sets off in a battered pick-up truck for his ancestral home in West Virginia. Accompanied only by his dying dog and his memories, the irascible warhorse (a stand-in for the "real" Abbey) begins a bizarre cross-country odyssey--determined to make peace with his past--and to wage one last war against the ravages of "progress." "A profane, wildly funny, brash, overbearing, exquisite tour de force." -- The Chicago Tribune

Biscuits & Bullets: The Story of Jennie Wade by Connie Heyer Hansen Pdf
Gettysburg! To most people, the very name conjures up images of war, death, destruction, horrified screams, and all manner of damage and ruin. But to three people growing up there in the mid-1860s, it was simply home. Jennie Wade, Jack Skelly, and Wesley Culp played tag in the streets, tossed pebbles into Rock Creek, and fished from its banks. They shared each other's secrets and dreams of the future. But none foresaw what would happen when war reached their little town. Gettysburg is situated a mere ten miles north of the Mason-Dixon Line, a hub where over half a dozen roads converge. So when war started, it was not inconceivable that the village would, sooner or later, be touched by it. And touch it, it did! For three days in July 1863, the battle raged in and around the town until, when it was over, a village that numbered about two thousand souls suddenly found itself caring for over twenty thousand wounded from both sides. In the midst of all the tragedy, three friends emerged. One joined the Union Army, the other the Confederate Army, and Jennie stayed behind. War, like death, will not be ignored, and it came to visit each of them in its own way. Life too holds many secrets, including how it ends. As close as the three were in life, they would never learn each other's secret ending.

Brothers of Mischief by Richard L Preece Pdf
It's the summer of 1921, school had just finished and brothers Tom and Ralph (POV) who live at a fire station where their Dad is a driver of horse drawn steam fire engines, are embarking on numerous schemes to make money for Tom's ultimate plan. Times and life were hard being raised in a family of eight children but politeness and the words 'Please' 'Thank You' and respect of one's parents and older people are expected. A simpler time with no television, video games, cell phones or any of the trappings of our modern society but they understood the value of money, sharing and charity. They hunt for coins with soap in the big city, catch pigeons in the church yard and visit the railway station with success but this would also bring them trouble. Collecting sacks of coal at the Old Wharf and giving to a needy neighbor, just to help and for a thank you. A different but exciting life, riding to an actual house fire on the fire engine, a race between the horse drawn and a new petrol fire engines. The exciting day out to the pub with their Dad and meeting Old Bill, a ratter with his dogs and ferrets and the day trip on a canal barge, through the country-side, having to navigate a long tunnel fill the brothers' holiday. This summer comes to an end with Tom's ultimate purchase in the market but not without some disastrous results.
