Good Luck Frenchy by Alain Olivier Pdf

Being mistaken for someone else, being falsely depicted as an important international heroin importer and trafficker, and being made an unwilling accessory to murder aren’t everyday occurrences. Surely this is not how the police behave to get their man? But...what if they go further? What if, with the aid of a thuggish civil agent, the RCMP implement a buy and bust operation, a Final Solution to get rid of you? And what if a Mountie is killed in the process under very nebulous circumstances? A chilling scenario that becomes even more disconcerting when members of the RCMP commit perjury to insure your conviction and cover up the true circumstances surrounding their colleague’s death. But, what about you being sentenced to death as a result of this and a trial littered with lying witnesses and tainted evidence that sends you on a path meant to shatter your already broken life? And...what if, in the end, Canadian legal institutions and ministries opt to defend the undefendable in order to protect the RCMP’s integrity and the image of Canada? Known as Bang Kwang prison inmate 482/33, my name is Alain Olivier. I learned first-hand what it means to be treated as expendable when the RCMP screws things up during a sketchy buy & bust operation oversea. This was my struggle against all odds to survive in the jungle of Bang Kwang prison, a true story that has something for everyone—drugs, murder, threats, violence, conflict of interest, political corruption, coverups, and my faint hope that the Canadian government would come to its senses and bring me home.

Confessions of a Rogue Missionary by Henry Rambow Pdf

As a National Merit Scholar majoring in physics at Rice University, Henry Rambow thought he was a rational person. But primed by years of Sunday School and haunted by a promise made as a terrified child, he nevertheless fell head over heels into a fundamentalist brand of Christianity. Confessions of a Rogue Missionary is an account of his struggle--and eventual failure--to reconcile his faith with reason. At times dryly humorous and at times sober and contemplative, the story begins when Henry is "born again." Brimming with zeal--but already plagued by doubt--he travels to Beijing as a missionary in the guise of an English teacher, where he tries desperately to embrace the culture and win disciples for Jesus. Culture clashes and miscommunications result in cringe-inducing encounters in unlikely settings, ranging from a brothel to a military base. Eventually, the very questions that troubled him from the start prove to be too much, and his faith collapses entirely, leaving him feeling disillusioned--but free.

(She’S) a Woman of Substance by Verner Reid Pdf

It was a different day, a different time, and a different era when Verner Reid entered the world inside a one-room shack with a dirt floor as the sun welcomed her through a rag-covered hole. Born into a tiny Negro community in the heart of the Delta, Verner grew up idolizing Eartha Kitt, struggling to endure poverty, and learning to rely on her intuition to survive. In a heartbreaking yet inspirational memoir, Verner leads others through the journey of her life as she moved to Chicago as part of the Great Migration and overcame childhood sexual trauma, an abusive marriage, and a rape to courageously carve her own path in television as a talk show host and later complete her education as a nontraditional student. As she reveals a glimpse into the betrayals, treachery, unfaithfulness, bigotry, and discrimination she endured while pursuing her passion, Verner shines a light on her determination to be a woman of substance, despite her personal challenges. (Shes) A Woman of Substance shares the true story of one womans experiences as she navigated from a poverty-stricken childhood in the rural South to pursue her dreams.

When Love Died by Sherrie L. Pluta Pdf

In 1824, Boston was a small farming community, about twenty-five miles south of Buffalo, New York. Buffalo itself was still only considered a village with a population of just over two thousand people. It was a hard life in that time where families tried to eke out a meager living selling their crops and growing their own fruits and vegetables to be canned and preserved for the long hard winters. They were a God-fearing community who gathered on Sundays in a neighbor's home to hear the visiting preacher who traveled from town to town until churches could be built for congregations. But just as in our world today, not everyone grows up to be honest and respectful. The three Thayer brothers moved to Boston with their parents and quickly became known as drunkards and ne'er-do-wells. When a Great Lakes seaman by the name of John Love needed a place to stay for the winter while the lakes were frozen over, they offered him room and board for a price. He didn't plan on the ultimate price that he had to pay. When the brothers' crops were not successful, they asked Love for a cash loan to make ends meet. Love was glad to help out his newfound friends. But they never planned on paying him back. Instead, they planned to murder him and hide his body. This was an important time in Western New York; the area was growing in population, and the Industrial Revolution was making life and work easier. The building of the Erie Canal, which traveled from Albany to Buffalo, was one of the engineering marvels of the time and, after many years of labor, opened in Buffalo in 1825. The story builds to the actual murder, arrest, and trial of the three brothers and ends with their eventual hangings in the Buffalo village square in 1825 attended by a crowd that was estimated at the time to be over twenty thousand people.
