Take Me Back to Redway by Yolanda Strock Taylor,Yolanda Taylor Pdf

"Wow. You have an amazing story. And the similarities between our lives are sort of stunning. There are so many scenes in this book that struck so close to home for me. I was deeply moved and honored that you shared it with me." Jeannette Walls, Author of The Glass Castle Take Me Back to Redway tells Yolanda Taylor's incredible story: a mother who lived the American dream. In her quest to successfully raise her children, she turned to her past, a past that until recently she was ashamed of. She grew up homeless, raised alone by her father, after he escaped both Vietnam and her abusive mother. Th ey settled in Northern California, living fi rst in an abandoned packing crate and then in a lean-to. Her father sacrificed his career and his identity to devote these years to her development. Th ey lived in poverty, but she had constant love and attention. She borrowed and worked her way through an Ivy League education ultimately receiving her MBA. Now, she has her own children. She achieved everything she could have ever hoped to achieve. She struggles with her upbringing more than any other time in her life. She recently gave up her dream career to devote this time in her life to her children. She is scared to death of translating her drive and motivation into something so intangible. Take Me Back to Redway tells two parallel stories one past and one present; the past is folded into the present day, with themes joining the two together. Th e drama of each story concludes simultaneously.

Play It Again by Alan Rusbridger Pdf

As editor of the Guardian, one of the world's foremost newspapers, Alan Rusbridger abides by the relentless twenty-four-hour news cycle. But increasingly in midlife, he feels the gravitational pull of music—especially the piano. He sets himself a formidable challenge: to fluently learn Chopin's magnificent Ballade No. 1 in G minor, arguably one of the most difficult Romantic compositions in the repertory. With pyrotechnic passages that require feats of memory, dexterity, and power, the piece is one that causes alarm even in battle-hardened concert pianists. He gives himself a year. Under ideal circumstances, this would have been a daunting task. But the particular year Rusbridger chooses turns out to be one of frenetic intensity. As he writes in his introduction, "Perhaps if I'd known then what else would soon be happening in my day job, I might have had second thoughts. For it would transpire that, at the same time, I would be steering the Guardian through one of the most dramatic years in its history." It was a year that began with WikiLeaks' massive dump of state secrets and ended with the Guardian's revelations about widespread phone hacking at News of the World. "In between, there were the Japanese tsunami, the Arab Spring, the English riots . . . and the death of Osama Bin Laden," writes Rusbridger. The test would be to "nibble out" twenty minutes per day to do something totally unrelated to the above. Rusbridger's description of mastering the Ballade is hugely engaging, yet his subject is clearly larger than any one piece of classical music. Play It Again deals with focus, discipline, and desire but is, above all, about the sanctity of one's inner life in a world dominated by deadlines and distractions. What will you do with your twenty minutes?

Watching for Dragonflies by Suzanne Marriott Pdf

2023 Living Now Book Awards Bronze Medal Winner for Mature Living/Caregiving “I found it unique and inspiring that the couple worked hard to keep their love alive and their sex life active while facing serious health challenges. . . . What a highly inspiring and impactful book!” —Readers’ Favorite, 5-Star review “Spirituality is a central theme throughout the memoir. . . . A moving story of love, loss, illness, and the beauty that persists.” —Kirkus Reviews There are 53 million family caregivers in the United Sates, and many feel isolated and overwhelmed. In Watching for Dragonflies, Suzanne reaches out to other caregivers and anyone who has experienced a life-changing crisis, inviting them to explore the many avenues of growth and transformation that uninvited change can bring. Suzanne’s story begins with a phone call from her husband, Michael, telling her he has collapsed on the job. They soon learn he has multiple sclerosis. Despite the negative patterns threatening their marriage, she is determined to handle the caregiving tasks suddenly thrust upon her. Through love, psychological insights, and spiritual inquiry, she cultivates her abilities—and gains the courage to confront a medical system that often saves her husband but at other times threatens his life. As time progresses, Michael undergoes many hospitalizations; he also makes miraculous recoveries that allow adventure back into their lives, including a numinous experience with dragonflies. When Suzanne faces her own medical crisis, their world is shaken once again—but throughout it all, love is their bond, one even death cannot sever. Often poignant, at times funny, and always riveting, Watching for Dragonflies will bring comfort—and inspiration—to readers as they navigate their own transformative journey.

Outlaw or Lawman by Gary Dixon Pdf

Known to be some of the bloodiest times in American history, the four years that the Civil War raged was originally referred to as the War Between the States. Called many names afterward, this was a time when some of the already roughest, toughest and most resilient men in our country had to raise the bar even higher. These men endured more pain, saw more bloodshed and had to develop a courage and tenacity to survive like none ever before. Many stories have been written about good men and bad men that came from both the North and the South. However, there seems to be more stories about bad men from the South, and for obvious reasons. When a man has everything taken from him, especially other family members, it tends to harden their heart. Many Rebels from the South felt something was owed to them after the war ended, and some took it upon themselves to collect the only way they knew how. They looted and spilt the blood of the people they felt took everything from them; those from the North. This story is about two men that were around during that era. One, after losing everything he held dear, became an outlaw just so he could even the score between himself and the ‘Yanks’ from the North. Unfortunately for him, there was a second man that was not about to let him pursue his plans. Ironically the second man was also from the South and both men had more to lose than they realized. Both men would have to determine what really mattered to them; vengeance or honor. This book will not account for any credence in American History. Although the stories of many real life characters and places helped shape the following pages, this book is a work of fiction. I hope you enjoy it.
