Let's Kill Uncle by Rohan O'Grady Pdf

When recently-orphaned Barnaby Gaunt is sent to stay with his uncle on a beautiful remote island off the coast of Canada, he is all set to have the perfect summer holiday. Except for one small problem: his uncle is trying to kill him. Heir to a ten-million-dollar fortune, Barnaby tries to tell everyone and anyone that his uncle is after his inheritance, but no one will believe him. That is, until he tells the only other child on the island, Chrissie, who concludes that there is only one way to stop his demonic uncle: Barnaby will just have to kill him first. With the unexpected help of One-Ear, the aged cougar who has tormented the island for years, Chrissie and Barnaby hatch a fool-proof plan. Playful, dark and witty, Let's Kill Uncle is a surprising tale of two ordinary children who conspire to execute an extraordinary murder - and get away with it.

My Uncle Bill and his Love Everest by Peter Jalesh Pdf

Uncle Bill tried to break his prosaic life by designing a sky-high illusion that he’d be able to reach the Mount Everest’s peak – alone – and come back home safe and sound. If I want to bring about my past I’d have to choose one event, any one, and let your past roll from there. I could start for instance by imagining the farm house in which I spent my childhood. I wouldn’t be able to make it through my memories without that beautiful house. In the morning the porch floor and the banisters were always wet with dew so I had to walk prudently from a point to the next. I could still see the Estonian hawk landing graciously on the porch pillar. He used to eat with us. There were no other hawks around here. He'd fly off the porch once we finished our Sunday lunch. He knows that we saved the leftovers for somebody else, which in our case are our pigs. In our farm we raise pigs

Eastern Waves, Western Shores by Chathuri Nugawela Pdf

Eastern Waves, Western Shores is a novel based on the life of a Sri Lankan woman who comes to study in England and then moves back to Sri Lanka and struggles fitting back in. The expectation of the elders, of society in general, cultural norms and the demands on a modern day career woman overwhelm her. She is torn between her loyalty to her family and the dreams she has for herself. It is a book about a looming arranged marriage, the yearning of young woman to fall in love hopefully with someone that is acceptable to her and her family, to live away from the family feuds and land disputes, away from the "dictatorship" of elders vs her duties towards them. Even after following her heart and her dreams she feels tormented sometimes and seeks an equilibrium in America.

SWEET & SOUR UNCLE by Jim Little Pdf

This is a love story that spans over a sixty-eight-year period. Some of this time was unrequited love for a painful twenty-eight years and also a happy time of reconciliation. The main character of the story is Ralph H. Little (1908-1999). He pursued the “Love of his life,” Freda, for all of his adult live. A log house in the Oregon woods defines Ralph more than anything else in his life. He was told during the courtship of Freda that one condition of marriage was the building of a log house on her father’s 180-acre, Oregon homestead. Logs were cut by hand and hauled to the construction site by horses. The log house was built not only with hard work and sweat, by “Uncle” Ralph, but primarily with love for his beloved Freda. Ralph suffered betrayal and the loss of Freda. After 28 dark and lonely years Freda returned after she suffered a betrayal in her life. There was a happy remarriage and almost immediately Freda suffered illness and became bed-ridden. Freda was expected to live for only six months. Ralph lived out his marriage vows by nursing Freda for 13 years beyond the time she was expected to live. Following the death of Freda, Ralph began showing signs of dementia. He pleaded with his nephew and niece, who became his caregivers, to help him stay in his log house, for as long as possible. He often said, "I will have to be handcuffed to leave this house." Sadly it eventually came to pass that is exactly what happened. This story is also about those, “sweet and sour times”, and the resulting family relationships and legal issues often faced by caregivers.

My Positive Uncle by Dr. Wallace Wong Pdf

HIV does not just affect individuals living with HIV. It also affects their family and loved ones— especially children. Children tend to be relatively concrete in their thinking, thus they may not be able to understand the complexity of the health issue. Children in various developmental stages need to build attachment through sharing affection with their parents and family members. Without such affection, strong bonds within the family may be lost and leave the child feeling disconnected. My Positive Uncle is a children’s book written in simple language. I hope it will help bridge the gap for parents or other family members to open up the dialogue about this important issue. I believe that open communication is important to help clarify unnecessary myths and fear that exists surrounding this health issue.

Uncle Will’S Hail Town by Wilbur Thornton Pdf

My work speaks to questions, mens ways, the people, places of lands, power positions, lies, wars, slavery, hate to a point of killing! The trail of tearsthe indians were willing to share through an equal process the land products! Slavery to work the land taken from the indian slaves and blacks became one, slavery to death that cannot be right! To the so-called christian soul, the wars are to die and fight on the wrong side of history. My work speaks to the fear of skin color. How sad and sick must be our minds! We can see one soul in the environment and another person in their environment! Its just one big lie that keeps the warmth of the sun out of our lives! My work carry you one way but lets you go another way! In 1914 was the war to end all war. We see how that worked out; we have the same old sin. You may give an answer or not. My work is to make one think or not be seen, just maybe of the million books out. My work speak out when a person loves a dog better than a man. When a man because of skin cannot just walk his dog, his dog, kill the man save the dog.
