I Am Not My Story by Aleta Mackey,Dylan Hollingsworth Pdf

This is my story, told from my point of view, and based on my experiences. It is at times horrific, graphic, and raw, but it is what happened, and I will not sanitize it to make it less than what it was. I must tell my story this way for you to fully grasp what I experienced, and more importantly, to know what I survived by the grace of God. This is not designed to shock, but to help those that have been through some of the same horrors to give them hope that they, too, can make it to the other side of their trauma. I am not my story, and neither are you!

Not My Story by Pip Brennan Pdf

Imagine you have found the ideal new home for yourself and your young daughter after several years of upheaval. You can't believe your luck! Not only is the new house wonderful, but your handsome (single) neighbour introduces himself to you within the first week of your arrival and there is more than a hint of romance in the air. Then - the unthinkable happens. A home invasion and rape. Just six months after moving in. Not My Story traces the tumultuous journey of the author through the foreign landscape of rape survivor. It follows the twists and turns of the police investigation, from the gruelling statement-taking marathon to the comprehensive forensic examination on the morning of the assault. The depressing and traumatising process of creating an identikit image which yielded no result. The book explores how rape trauma affects us and documents from the inside one person's recovery process. The title asserts the author's conviction that survivors do not have to be defined by the actions of others. After the perpetrator's eventual capture the justice process began and here the glaring omissions of the victim's needs were all too apparent as the legal machinery ground into action. The rape raised so many questions about crime, prisons and the possibilities of restorative justice, and eventually the author braved a mediation conference with the unknown perpetrator 6 years after the assault. From the very morning of the assault, the author was gripped by the need for "something good" to come out of the atrocity. She tried working with the media, giving evidence to an Inquiry, and spent countless hours volunteering for grassroots organisations to introduce advocacy into the service delivery mix. She learned the hard way that more than good intent is required to bring about service enhancements in an area few people want to talk about. Not My Story is a kitchen sink memoir featuring a home invasion, rape, social and restorative justice, parenting and a love affair. If you have been assaulted, this book may speak to you; it is for you. If you have never been assaulted, this book will help you to support loved ones who have gone through this profoundly wounding experience. We need to talk about this stuff.

Beamish Boy by Albert Flynn DeSilver Pdf

Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. "I was raised in a clock tower with bats in the belfry." So begins, BEAMISH BOY, the harrowing account of Albert Flynn DeSilver's inspirational journey from suicidal alcoholic to Poet Laureate and beyond. Filled with a luminous cast of characters, and told with searing honesty and ironic wit, BEAMISH BOY is a redemptive story of survival and letting go, as we follow Albert from one zany adventure and near-death experience to the next. He is run over by his best friend after blacking out in a driveway, contracts malaria in east Africa, and joins a psychedelic "therapy"cult, until he miraculously finds himself, through photography, poetry, and a hilarious awakening at a meditation retreat center, realizing finally, what it means to be fully alive and to truly love. "A beautifully written memoir...poignant and inspirational, comical and terrifying!"—Kirkus "...a fascinating, poetic memoir..."—ForeWord Reviews "Albert Flynn DeSilver's extraordinary story of second chances is about cultivating a creative life of joy and generosity out of the ashes of fear, doubt, and trauma."—Marci Shimoff "Sometimes we have to go to the darkest depths before we see the light. BEAMISH BOY is the inspiring true story that shows a journey of pain and self-destruction can lead to discovering that the peace and joy we yearned for, is in us all along."—James Baraz

You Know My NAME But Not My STORY by Lucky Lou Pdf

My name is Lucky Lou. I am named after my father. I grew up with four siblings in a home with a mother and father. You would think that growing up with both parents, I would turn out good, but I'm here to tell you, that's a myth and far from the truth. See, my father was a street man, while my mother was far from the streets. My father was busy teaching me things while my mother was trying to keep me far from them. Living in that environment, I received many beatings from my mother while my father fed my desire for the street. Now I'm 32 years old, handicapped, and searching for an understanding of what to do with my life as it is now. Living your life behind bars is the same as not having a life at all. After reading my book, you will see that life in prison is not fun, and not being able to see your family is the worst thing ever.

I Am Not Your Slave by Tupa Tjipombo,Chris Lockhart Pdf

I am Not Your Slave is the shocking true story of a young African girl, Tupa, who was abducted from southwestern Africa and funneled through an extensive yet almost completely unknown human trafficking network spanning the entire African continent. As she is transported from the point of her abduction on a remote farm near the Namibian-Angolan border and channeled to her ultimate destination in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, her three-year odyssey exposes the brutal horrors of a modern day middle passage. During her ordeal, Tupa encounters members of Africa's notorious gangs, terrifying witchdoctors, mysterious middlemen from China, corrupt police and border officials, Arab smugglers and high-ranking United Nations officials. And of course, Tupa meets her fellow trafficking victims, young women and girls from around the world. Tupa's harrowing experience, including her daring escape and eventual return home, sheds light on the most shocking aspects of modern day slavery, as well as the essential determination to be free.

I Am Not My Circumstance by Kendall T. Johnson Pdf

I Am Not My Circumstance came about when I finally had an awakening and began to tap into why God created me. Your circumstances, rather derived from, child molestation, domestic abuse, drug abuse, growing up with both parents being absent in the home, adoption, or even being bullied. I could go on and on. However, I call all of these, “circumstances, or SO WHATS!” This book will advise you on how to deal with YOU and the illusion that your circumstances create in which are all designed to keep you living in fear. In Matthew 7:7-8 of the Holy Bible, it states, “Ask and it shall be given t you, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you.” Growing up, no one taught me how to deal with “me.” In this book, I will reveal to you how I learned to deal with my “inner me.” If God can choose a little black nappy headed girl who grew up in a dysfunctional, broken, single parent home in the projects on the North side of Hope, Arkansas to tell you everything is possible, the possibilities are endless! Don't let situation and circumstance that are designed to keep you enslaved have control of your life. Claim God's promise! The bible says that life is designed for each and every living human to live a life full of abundance. It's our inheritance!
