DON’T CALL ME MAMA by Maxine Sue Feller Pdf

One night, as Mama bathed me, I asked why she didn’t paint her nails. “Who have you seen wearing nail polish?” she asked. “The blond lady Daddy takes me to see on Sundays.” After my parents were divorced, I overheard Grandma say, “Yetta, your baggage will hamper you from finding another husband.” So as Mama bathed me, she said, “Don’t call me Mama.” Hearing this was hurtful. My father hadn’t taken me with him when he left. Now, I felt Mama no longer wanted me. I was four years old. Who would take care of me? It was a desperate, sometimes devastating journey through the depths of despair I lived daily as a preschooler. Then it was a tumultuous adolescence with my malicious grandmother.

The Fortunate Child by Maxine Sue Feller Pdf

It was a long, sometimes devastating, journey Maxine was forced to undertake through the depths of despair as a preschooler, and then on through a tumultuous adolescence during which she was ignored yet at the same time abused by a un-caring mother who daily left her with a malevolent grandmother who similarly mistreated her. Instructed by her divorced mother to no longer call her Mama,in an effort to enhance her own marketability as a perspective wife to some unsuspecting man. Fortunately, Maxine was endowed with the guiles and street smarts that allowed her to survive. The pain of her youth was converted, of necessity, into the toughness and unwillingness to accept what appeared to be inevitable. As the result of her own perseverance and courage she was accepted and graduated from Brooklyn College. Separating herself from her horrendous past, she resurrected her life by achieving success as a schoolteacher, a wife and, ultimately, a mother and grandmother. Along the way,,she became proficient as a stock trader, thus providing herself and her family the additional financial and emotional security she was deprived of in her early years. Maxine reflects on her life as an independent success story.

Dating and the Older Man by Jerome Albers Pdf

The book is baded on my real life experiences as an older man in the Dating game for over 15 years. After years in the dating game I experienced many events, situations, and types of women. I look at these experiences honestly and humorously. The statuses of women that an older man has available for dating are reviewed. Also what a single man needs to do to attract desirable women and where and how to go to meet desirable women are discussed, because we all know where to meet undesirable women. The pleasures and pitfalls of dating, romance, and sex are discussed. It does not show how to solve all dating problems, but most of the dating problems to avoid are discussed. It seems that both men and women hate dating and it is our own fault. I encourage men to take control of their life and their dating. The book desribes the characteristics that men desire in women and the characteristics which men find not tolerable in women. It also describes the places to meet women and which are good and which are a waste of time and money. It is an honest, humorous and witty look at this confusing and illogical part of our social life.

The Anniversary Man by R.J. Ellory Pdf

From a “master of the genre,” a psychological thriller about a detective who turns to a trauma survivor to track down a copycat serial killer. (New York Times bestselling authorClive Cussler) This murderer went after young courting couples in an attempt to “save their souls.” Nadia was killed by the first blow of the hammer. John survived, but was physically and psychologically scarred to an extent that few people could comprehend. He withdrew from society, hid in his apartment, and now only emerges to work as a crime researcher for a major newspaper. Damaged as he may be, no one in New Jersey knows more about serial killers than John Costello. So, when a new spate of murders starts--all seemingly random and unrelated--John is the only one who can discern the complex pattern that lies behind them. But could this dark knowledge threaten his own life? “So real is Ellory’s writing that the lines between journalism and crime fiction blur. Though Ellory’s standalone crime thrillers grab readers by the throat and don’t let go until the last page, Detective Irving has the makings of Connelly’s Harry Bosch on steroids, sure to be a repeat character—and made with cinematic success into a blockbuster movie.” —Bookreporter.com “Ellory’s gripping thriller should appeal to lovers of procedurals and may also draw readers of true crime, as it deals with many actual serial killings” —Library Journal
