She Called Herself Jess by Joann Pfeifer Pdf

When her beloved daughter, Jessie, took her life three weeks before graduating college, it left the family and all who knew Jessie stunned. Jessie was a vivacious, privileged child who was dearly loved, and she was raised by a loving village, but even that was not enough to get Jessie through her darkest night. Jessie's mom had written letters to her daughter beginning at her birth and decided to share Jessie with the world after her daughter's death. Suicide needs to be brought out of the shadows and talked about with all young adults. Anyone who chooses death over life needs to be fully aware of the destruction that they will leave behind. Suicide is not romantic. Suicide means that you will never walk on this earth again with those who love you. Proceeds from this book will be shared with nonprofit organizations which Jessie would have wanted to support: animals, conservation efforts, children, national parks, and-one that her mom wants to support-suicide prevention.

A Glasgow Trilogy by George Friel Pdf

Distinguished by irony, compassion and the author's own dry wit, these three novels paint a memorable picture of life in the streets, schools and tenements of Glasgow in the 1950s and 60s. With a unique vision of loneliness, old age, sexual longing, hot young blood and youth's casual cruelty, George Friel's books explore a dark comedy of tangled communication, human need and fading community. All these elements come together in the humorous parable of greed, religion and slum youth that is The Boy Who Wanted Peace; in the fate of old and disturbed Miss Partridge who is obsessed with the innocence of young Grace; and in the mental collapse of Mr Alfred, a middle-aged school teacher who is in love with one of his pupils. The humour, realism and moral concern of Friel's work clearly anticipate and stand alongside the novels of Alan Spence, Alasdair Gray, William McIlvanney and James Kelman.

Jessica F. Woods by Victoria King Heinsen Pdf

Jessica F. Woods, attorney of record, experiences the romantic and professional vicissitudes, the ups and downs of life in Columbus, Ohio, where she is immersed in the beginning practice of law for a prestigious firm breaking into the central Ohio market. Young, single, and beautiful, Jessica wrestles with navigating through her past and her lawyer father's sudden death as she engages with leftover clients from her dad's estate. Along the way, her professional colleagues, family, friends, boss, new clients, and a recalcitrant Maine Coon appear sometimes timely—sometimes unexpectedly—to make life particularly interesting, if not occasionally unnerving. Jessica manages them all with humor and practicality. A Lemontini now and then serves, too, as an anodyne if professional or romantic engagements get too hectic.

Just Pervs by Jess Taylor Pdf

In Just Pervs, Jess Taylor's sophomore story collection, contemporary views of female sexuality are subverted and complicated -- no longer are women figures to be acted upon my men; here they have agency over their desires and their bodies. Through the characters in these stories we discover how sex can be many things: it can be gross, shameful, exhilarating, hidden, or open, but it is always complicated. Just Pervs explores the strange oppression and illumination that desire can create, the bewilderment of adolescence, the barriers to intimacy we discover within ourselves and the ones that are imposed on us. All while speaking honestly and openly about sex and championing expressions of female sexuality.

Chasing the Bright Side by Jess Ekstrom Pdf

One flicker of hope. That’s all it takes to catapult yourself into the life you’ve always imagined. Success is not born out of skill, school, where we’re from, who we know, or what we scored on the SAT. None of us were born ready. None of us started life knowing how to fly a plane or launch a company or knit a sweater for our dog. But we are born with something more important than skills. We’re born with optimism—the initial seed for success. Optimism fuels the belief that you can be the one to create the good the world needs. But you’ve got to hone it. And practice it. And determine to live from it. In Chasing the Bright Side, Jess Ekstrom shares her own inspirational story of how optimism helped her overcome multiple challenges, and the dynamic ways her mind-set propelled her as a young entrepreneur, international speaker, and philanthropist. Do you have dreams for yourself and the world that are tucked away in your box of somedays? What would happen if today was the day you opened the box? And what if that box was the key to a better tomorrow? Jess’s journey will inspire you embrace the power of optimism in your own life, and help you reimagine your purpose so you create good in the world while fulfilling your own dreams—right where you are.
