A propulsive and chillingly prescient novel of suspense and terror from the Bram Stoker award–winning author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts. “Absolutely riveting.” — Stephen King In a matter of weeks, Massachusetts has been overrun by an insidious rabies-like virus that is spread by saliva. But unlike rabies, the disease has a terrifyingly short incubation period of an hour or less. Those infected quickly lose their minds and are driven to bite and infect as many others as they can before they inevitably succumb. Hospitals are inundated with the sick and dying, and hysteria has taken hold. To try to limit its spread, the commonwealth is under quarantine and curfew. But society is breaking down and the government's emergency protocols are faltering. Dr. Ramola "Rams" Sherman, a soft-spoken pediatrician in her mid-thirties, receives a frantic phone call from Natalie, a friend who is eight months pregnant. Natalie's husband has been killed—viciously attacked by an infected neighbor—and in a failed attempt to save him, Natalie, too, was bitten. Natalie's only chance of survival is to get to a hospital as quickly as possible to receive a rabies vaccine. The clock is ticking for her and for her unborn child. Natalie’s fight for life becomes a desperate odyssey as she and Rams make their way through a hostile landscape filled with dangers beyond their worst nightmares—terrifying, strange, and sometimes deadly challenges that push them to the brink. Paul Tremblay once again demonstrates his mastery in this chilling and all-too-plausible novel that will leave readers racing through the pages . . . and shake them to their core.
Find the bay of hope . . . Right next to the ocean of grief stands the bay of hope. It’s made of billions of sand particles, each one insignificant on its own, but together a force to reckon with. The ocean continues to try to swallow the bay and the golden sand smiles, washed by the glistening tears. As an oncologist, it’s difficult to come home and have a normal meal or sleep without being awakened by a wet pillow, unsure if the tears were mine or those of a patient’s. I have understood that in this extraordinary universe, I am but a mere speck, as small and inconsequential as the sand particle on the beach. But with the bond that I have built with my patients, I am resolute, as indomitable as any avenger of cancer. These survivors have taught me more than what medicine has. These are not 108 stories. This is the future of our battle against cancer. These are the footsteps these survivors have taken, from tears to smiles. I Am a Survivor exemplifies the cancer survivors of the human race, their journey and their demonstration of flawless endurance. It uncovers stories of several extraordinary cancer survivors who live their lives with the same intensity as others. This book is an attempt to honour what they stand for, and it offers their tale as an example for those walking the same path.
“He Was A Survivor,” is a historical and human drama of the first order centered around the ethos of an ordinary person, Robert Crew. Due to the fact that he was at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941; Crew is propelled out-of-a basic existence and onto the forefront of a national veterans organization; The Pearl Harbor Survivors. Crew who physically survived the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Second World War, like so many veterans; in a mental - in a spiritual - sense he does not. The shadows of the war come up from the past and overtake him. “He Was A Survivor,” adheres to the strict no-nonsense historical line. Little known aspects of the United States Navy of the nineteen twenties and thirties are incorporated into the story. Obscure realities about what took place prior to and during the attack appear here for the first time. Most of the individuals who have made this story possible have passed away and many of the geographic areas no longer exist. It took more than a quarter century to research and formulate this story. Hence it would be impossible to write, “He Was A Survivor,” today.
Survivor Criminology by Kimberly J. Cook,Reneè D. Lamphere,Jason M. Williams,Stacy L. Mallicoat,Alissa R. Ackerman Pdf
Survivor Criminology: A Radical Act of Hope is a trauma-informed approach to the study of crime and justice that stems from the lived experiences of crime survivors. The chapters within this volume explore our authors’ who have each had close personal encounters with violence and death, as well as institutionalized oppressions based on racism, heterosexism, sexism, and poverty. As scholars, professors, practitioners, and students in the field, these lived experiences with crime and criminal justice have shaped their research, teaching, and advocacy work. Their voices represent experiences that are intersectional, mult-igenerational, global, trauma-informed and resiliency focused. They are deliberately and decidedly anti-racist, and their experiences acknowledge the harm that has resulted from institutionalized and structural trauma. Most importantly, their stories are grounded in their lived experiences. This volume offers survivor criminology as a radical act of hope. Our hope comes from the belief that a trauma-centered approach to crime, justice, and healing provides the opportunity for criminology to expand its theoretical and methodological roots. We see this work as transformative for the discipline - for students, scholars, members of the community, and policy-makers.

Soul Survivor by Andrea Leininger,Bruce Leininger Pdf
James Leininger was just two years old when he began having disturbing nightmares that would not stop. He screamed out in the night: 'Plane on fire! Little man can't get out!' While nightmares are common among children, what happened next shocked those around him... James began to reveal details of planes and war tragedies that no two-year-old boy could know. His desperate parents were at a loss to help him until he said three things: 'Corsair', 'Natoma' and 'Jack Larsen'. From these tantalising clues, James's parents travelled thousands of miles and spent many long years piecing together these facts to try and find an answer that could end his torment. Finally, despite his mother's fears and his father's staunch Christian beliefs, they found only one possibility to the endless coincidences that surrounded every detail in James's life – that their son was reliving the past life of a World War II fighter pilot. Their touching story is one that will challenge sceptics and confirm the beliefs of those who already believe in life after death.
En 1975, du jour au lendemain j’ai été arrachée de ma chère mère à cause de la guerre des Khmers rouges. Cette perte de l’être cher m’a plongée dans une telle souffrance, un tel vide que je me croyais morte vivante. Ce qui me conservait en vie était l’espoir de revoir pour une dernière fois ma mère, vœu qui ne s’est jamais réalisé. Cela m’a pris des années avant de pouvoir lui dire adieu. Le 17 avril 1975, la punition des habitants de Phnom-Penh fut la fin de cette ville telle que nous l’avions connue, par les Khmers rouges, ville que j’aurais aimé connaître davantage. Cette troupe de jeunes paysans armés jusqu’aux dents, des garçons à peine sortis de l’adolescence, a répandu la terreur à travers la ville de Phnom-Penh, avec leur air arrogant et prétentieux, tout comme si le monde entier leur appartenait. Vêtus de leurs habit, ressemblant à des corbeaux, ont fait en sorte que je ne peux voir ces animaux sans aussitôt penses à ces Khmers rouges qui me terrifient encore. Leur bandeau rouge sang sur le front avait de quoi faire frémir jusqu’aux os et leurs yeux affichant leur identité de monstre, de tueur, sans aucune pitié pour leurs semblables. Leurs camps de concentration furent une des épisodes les plus sanglantes du XXe siècle. Ces jeunes Khmers rouges, formés pour mépriser les gens de la ville comme si nous étions des criminels dangereux. Ils nous détestaient, nous qui vivions dans les villes, car nous étions la raison de leur pauvreté; nous méprisants, nous devions donc être éliminés. Ce fut à leur tour de nous maltraiter afin de se venger de nous. Ces idées fausses, implantées dans leurs esprits par les chefs Khmers rouges, leur ont permis de nous torturer et de tuer dans aucune pitié et remord. Le 17 avril 1975, les Khmers rouges prennent le pouvoir et entrent à Phnom-Penh. La capitale fut vidée de tous des habitants en moins de 48 heures. Les soldats rouges passèrent de porte en porte pour faire sortir les gens en disant : « Vous ne partez que pour quelques minutes, inutile d’apporter des bagages » Ma famille et moi furent déplacés, tout comme la population Khmer, vers la campagne. À ce moment le Cambodge sombre dans une guerre terrible où les Khmers rouges ont transformé le pays en un vaste camp de concentration, un camp de la mort. Les Khmers rouges ont anéantis les élites en les exterminant. Cet immense génocide a fait disparaître le plus grande partie de la population Cambodgienne. Dans cette foule de déportés j’étais là, impuissante face à cette guerre dans pitié. Le quotidien du camp de la mort était fait de torture, d’humiliation, d’exécutions sommaires, de famine provoquée et de terreur.... Longue liste pour mes quatre années passées sous le régime de Pol Pot. J’étais perdue dans cet enfer, dans un face à face constant avec la mort; mais mon heure n’était pas au rendez-vous. Mais plusieurs d’autres n’ont pas eu cette chance car des millions de Khmers ont perdus la vie en moins de quatre années sous ce régime de Pol Pot qui voulait instaurer le communisme rural et la terreur. « Il faut respecter l’anghar.... » (sorte de dieu), sinon c’est la mort qui nous attendait et elle était très proche : à notre porte et parfois même attendait avec impatience. Pol Pot : ce nom seul terrifie le peuple khmer. Il vole le pouvoir de Dieu sur la vie et la mort de millions de khmers. Avoir un langage trop « correcte » ou porter des lunettes, font de ces personnes des criminelles qu’il faut éliminer. Ces gens instruits, il vaut mieux les éliminer : vaut mieux éliminer un innocent que de garder un ennemi. Des vrais psychopathes qui prenaient plaisir à torturer les gens afin de se donner de l’importance ou pour se sentir plus vivants. Les slogans des Khmers rouges étaient : « Vous devez vous épier les uns les autres » « Vous garder ne rapporte rien; vous détruire n’est pas une perte! » « Celui qui proteste est un ennemi. S’il s’oppose, il devient un cadavre » « Mieux vaut tuer un innocent que de garder en vie un ennemi » Ces slogans constituaient les lignes de conduite des Khmers rouges et c’est à partir de cela qu’ils nous traitaient.
