Janet Lennon by Barlow Meyers Pdf

Suddenly Janet was frightened, and more completely alone than she had ever been in her life. Lifting her small suitcase, she went to stand uncertainly in the doorway of the train station... This year Mr. Lennon had decided his famous singing daughters would have separate vacations. Excitedly Janet chose her cousin's dude ranch. But what she found at her destination proved almost more of a challenge than she could handle... cousins who treated her as an unwelcome guest, a bankrupt ranch, fires in the night, a half-crazed old man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, and trouble and danger at every turn. Only after a mysterious stranger arrived at the ranch did Janet and the Kaywins see a way out of their difficulties. Success and happiness were close at hand, but with them came a series of narrow escapes which endangered the lives of all. As Janet packed to go home she realized that her Adventure at Two Rivers would be one of the most memorable and thrilling experiences of her life!

Hidden Lives by Lenore Rowntree,Andrew Boden Pdf

A revised and updated edition of a collection of personal essays that illuminate what life is like for those who live with mental illness, and how it impacts their family members. More than 4 million Canadians and 57 million Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental illness, and yet there are still considerable stigmas and a great deal of misunderstanding surrounding even the most common diagnoses—schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, clinical depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and dissociative identity disorder. Rather than analyze the diagnoses and symptoms, these first-hand accounts focus on the very essence of a psycho-emotional breakdown, and respond to the mental, physical, and emotional turmoil it inevitably causes. What does a mother do when her teenage son's personality suddenly fractures? How does a police officer cope when his employer refuses to provide adequate care until he can prove his PTSD is work-related? How do children grow up under the care of a manic father whose illness lands him in and out of medical and social incarceration? Raw, honest, and painful, these essays communicate disappointment and despair, but also courage and compassion. They offer a lifeline for sufferers and support for their friends and family, and promote new and improved attitudes toward those with mental illness. With a foreword by respected physician, bestselling author, and renowned speaker Dr. Gabor Maté, Hidden Lives gives readers a place to turn, and provides a platform to share their struggle.

Grace Upon Grace by Sharlene Scott Pdf

Sharlene Scott doesn’t remember a time in her life when she didn’t know about Jesus or see church as important. Sharlene loses her first “treasure”, her Granny Grady, when she is eight years old. Young Sharlene quickly learns that every death affects us in more ways than we know. Every life, short or long, has an impact. In her twenties, Sharlene meets Paul, a new Christian. They soon become inseparable. Eventually Paul and Sharlene get married and prepare to build a family. They sadly lose their first child to miscarriage. A few months later, they learn they are expecting Matthew. Together, Sharlene and Paul celebrate this new life, but this is only the beginning of their trials. Sooner or later, we all experience loss, and sometimes, those losses seem unbearable. Grace Upon Grace is a true tale of the unseen hand of God and finding His faithfulness, even when we grieve and doubt Him. This is not a story of pain. It’s a story of a faithful God who sees and hears us and, even in sadness, provides joy.

Blue Jesus by Tom Edwards Pdf

Two Southern boys bring a miracle—and chaos—to their small town in “a deceptively fun read packed with colorfully realized characters” (Atlanta Journal Constitution). This is the compelling story of two boys, one white and one blue, who live in a small town in the North Georgia mountains in 1963. The trouble begins when the boys find the body of a baby abandoned in the town garbage dump. The narrator of the tale, Buddy, runs for help. His best friend, Early, a gentle boy with blue skin descended from the Blue People of Troublesome Creek, takes that dead baby in his hands and conjures the infant back to life. This miracle ignites a firestorm of controversy—and Early becomes known as Blue Jesus, the blue boy with the power to heal. Colorful and honest, with humor, heartbreak, and ultimate redemption, Blue Jesus, inspired by the true story of the Fugates, a nineteenth-century Kentucky family with a genetic condition that turned their skin blue, is a novel of friendship, family, faith, and the power in a commonality of differences.

Encyclopedia of Television Pilots by Vincent Terrace Pdf

On November 27, 1937, NBC presented TV's first pilot film, Sherlock Holmes (then called an "experiment"). Thousands of pilot films (both unaired and televised) have been produced since. This updated and restyled book contains 2,470 alphabetically arranged pilot films broadcast from 1937 to 2019. Entries contain the concept, cast and character information, credits (producer, writer, director), dates, genre and network or cable affiliation. In addition to a complete performer's index, two appendices have been included: one detailing the pilot films that led to a series and a second that lists the programs that were spun off from one series into another. Never telecast pilot films can be found in the companion volume, The Encyclopedia of Unaired Television Pilots, 1945-2018. Both volumes are the most complete and detailed sources for such information, a great deal of which is based on viewing the actual programs.

Fritos Pie by Kaleta Doolin Pdf

In 1932 C.E. Doolin, the operator of a struggling San Antonio confectionery, purchased for $100 the recipe for a fried corn chip product and a crude device used to make it, along with a list of nineteen customer accounts. From that humble beginning sprang Fritos ('fries' in Spanish), a product that, thanks to Doolin's marketing ingenuity and a visionary approach to food technology, would become one of the best-known brands in America. Fritos Pie is an insider's look at the never-before-told story of the Frito Company written by Kaleta Doolin, daughter of the company's founder. Filled with personal anecdotes, more than 150 recipes, and stories, this book recounts the company's early days, the 1961 merger that created Frito-Lay, Inc., and beyond.

From Radio to Television by Vincent Terrace Pdf

The early years of television relied in part on successful narratives of another medium, as studios adapted radio programs like Boston Blackie and Defense Attorney to the small screen. Many shows were adapted more than once, like the radio program Blondie, which inspired six television adaptations and 28 theatrical films. These are but a few of the 1,164 programs covered in this volume. Each program entry contains a detailed story line, years of broadcast, performer and character casts and principal production credits where possible. Two appendices ("Almost a Transition" and "Television to Radio") and a performer's index conclude the book. This first-of-its-kind encyclopedia covers many little-known programs that have rarely been discussed in print (e.g., Real George, based on Me and Janie; Volume One, based on Quiet, Please; and Galaxy, based on X Minus One). Covered programs include The Great Gildersleeve, Howdy Doody, My Friend Irma, My Little Margie, Space Patrol and Vic and Sade.
