My name is Lee Mets (honest), and this is my book. I'm part of the writing club, which is fantastic, since what I want to be most is a writer. My mother says that girls don't grow up to be writers, they can only be nurses or teachers. But it's the 1960s, not the 50s or 40s, and I think she may be wrong. Mrs. Gowdy, who is my writing teacher, says that I have a gift. I'm going to use it to tell you the story of my summer. It was a summer that was both wonderful and terribly sad. The sad part is still painful for me to write about, but I will because that's what writers do. My summer began with the most exciting thing that ever happened on our street. A real-life orphan, by the name of Cassandra Jovanovich, moved in right across from my house. All the best stories are about orphans, and because of Cassandra, this story is no exception. Because of her, I got to write a play, and she starred in it. Because of her, I now know that being an orphan is not exciting, in fact it is the opposite. But you'll have to read my story to find out why.

Home Free by David S. Kirk Pdf

Each year in the United States, more than 625,000 individuals are released from prison. Half will be back in prison within just three years. Many former prisoners who reoffend return home to their old communities, where the same family, friends, drugs, and criminal opportunities await them. In Home Free, David S. Kirk uses Hurricane Katrina as a natural experiment to examine whether residential relocation away from an old neighborhood can lead to desistance from crime. Drawing upon both quantitative and qualitative evidence and data from an experimental housing mobility program, he focuses on the lives of individuals released from Louisiana prisons soon after the hurricane, some who moved away from New Orleans and some who did not. Kirk further explores the impact of the Katrina-induced residential change, which provides a unique opportunity to investigate what happens when individuals move not just a short distance away from home, but to entirely different cities, counties, and social worlds. In a series of analyses, Kirk shows the impact that changes in structured daily activities and peer relationships, as well as opportunities for cognitive transformation can have to substantially reduce the likelihood of recidivism. Addressing one of the biggest challenges now facing the criminal justice system, Home Free offers a story of redemption. In light of the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Kirk provides important insights into how the power of a fresh start can have considerable policy implications for reducing recidivism.

Saved Is Not Home Free by Ted Bush Pdf

This book is designed to provide a clear, concise, readable description of what is necessary for a person to be a Christian (follower of Jesus Christ). It is targeted at two primary groups of people. The first group is people who consider themselves Christians and are interested in thinking and learning more about our Christian duty. The second group is those who have been turned off or turned away by perceived hypocrisy in the Christian Church. Jesus Christ, holy Son of God, was born, lived, died, and resurrected that we might know what God is really like, and to teach/show us what we need to do, in order that we might obtain salvation from our sins and death. We however, have an essential task - accept him as Lord and Savior, believe in him, and follow him. The rub comes in when we really understand what "believe in him" and "follow him" mean and imply. The purpose of the book is to clarify what "believe in him" and "follow him" mean and entail, as a wake-up call to Christians and potential Christians. Jesus did his part, and a wonderful part it was, but we have an important part to play too.

Home Free by Rifka Kreiter Pdf

On a bus trip to a Catskill Mountain ashram, Rifka Kreiter recollects her past as she travels to meet Swamiji, another new guru on the scene in the bustling spiritual marketplace of 1976. Memories abound of an eventful childhood with an unstable mother on New York’s Upper West Side and in LA, of dancing the Twist at Manhattan’s Peppermint Lounge, and of sitting in against the war—as well as getting tear-gassed in Mississippi, surviving broken love affairs, and more. A checkerboard ride through the fifties, sixties, and early seventies, Home Free is powered by Kreiter’s passionate drive for pleasure, self-knowledge, and—above all—freedom from limitations, whether psychological, political, or spiritual. Ultimately, it is a joyful trip, as she strives to bust free, be it with drugs, therapy, political activism, or meditation. At last, she arrives at a destination as unexpected as it is transformational.

Home Free by Anthony W. Strubel,Michael W. Rothan Pdf

We did much of what we wanted to do, and those things we were prevented from doing, weren't really that important to us. We were limited only by the boundaries of imagination and yet there were no boundaries. We shared everything; lived it all together in the best times of our lives; and we did it where we knew the people, the traditions, the places; this little part of creation for us was home. It will always be home. "Home Free" isn't just a catch phrase that was a trigger for trouble, or even a traditional battle cry, so much as it is the mantra that captures our spirits and describes our character like nothing else can.

The chief chronicler of the Beat Generation portrays the hangover that followed the giddy early days of the movementin this poignant follow-up to Go Dan Verger and May Delano share a loft in New York City, but the passion that brought them together has turned brittle and sour, much like the boozy parties and late-night discussions that so thrilled them a few years ago. The brightest lights of their circle have moved on—visionary poet David Stofksy to a job in advertising, novelist Gene Pasternak to Mexico—and Dan and May eventually decide to do the same, abandoning each other to return to their respective hometowns. On the Connecticut seashore, Dan contemplates the trip to Europe that he has always promised himself, but finds his dissipated habits hard to break. Killing time with Old Man Molineaux, the charismatic town drunk, Dan recognizes what his life might look like in 30 years. Meanwhile, May returns to Louisiana and is surprised to discover Paul Hobbes, a New York friend, playing piano in a bar on the African American side of town. At a wild, drug-fueled party in a dilapidated antebellum mansion, May comes face-to-face with the complicated racial dynamics of the Beat movement. Artful and authentic, melancholy yet tender, Get Home Free pays tribute to a generation that, in daring to break with the patterns of the past, profoundly influenced the future of American culture.
