The View from the Widow's Walk by Anne Yates Burst Pdf
Elizabeth finds herself on the side of a deserted country road with no idea how she got there or where she was going, knowing only that she was running from something. Following an astonishing letter found in her luggage, she travels to the island of Key West, trying to put together clues from her past while creating a new life for herself that, surprisingly, includes people who will have a major impact on her future.
One of Boston’s elite has been murdered. The accused is his new wife. She’s blonde, beautiful, and young. The jury’s going to hate her. With next-to-no alibi, and multi-million reasons to kill her husband, she needs the best defense money can buy. His name is Spenser, and he’d give anything to believe her.
A true story about love and heartbreak, trust and betrayal, a shattered marriage, and beginning again. In this memoir, Jennifer Burman recounts in raw and honest detail how her seemingly picture-perfect life was turned upside down when her husband was convicted and sentenced to prison for 16 years for white collar crime--and how she strives to build a healthy future for herself and her daughters.
On September 11, I dropped my son off at his second full day of kindergarten. The sky was so blue it looked as if it had been ironed. I crossed the street, ordered coffee, and sat to wait for my husband to meet me. It was our eighth wedding anniversary and Dave and I were about to begin a new chapter in our seventeen years together. Sipping coffee, I watched as a line of thick black smoke crept across the sky from Manhattan, oblivious to the fact that my life was about to change forever. On September 11, 2001, Marian Fontana lost her husband, Dave, a firefighter from the elite Squad 1 in Brooklyn, in the World Trade Center attack. A Widow's Walk begins that fateful morning, when Marian, a playwright and comedienne, became a widow, a single mother, and an unlikely activist. Two weeks after 9/11, the city attempted to close Squad 1, which had suffered the loss of twelve men. Known for her feisty spirit and passionate loyalty, Marian, who was still reeling from her profound loss, began to mobilize the neighborhood to keep the firehouse open. From this unlikely platform the 9/11 Widows and Victims' Families Association grew. Over the next twelve months, Marian struggled with the tragedy's endless ripple effects, from the minute and deeply personal—she wonders who will play Star Wars with her son, Aidan, and carry him on his shoulders; to the collective: she works to get families and widows necessary information about the recovery effort and attends private meetings with Governor Pataki, Mayor Giuliani, Senator Clinton, and Mayor Bloomberg. Through it all, Marian's irrepressible humor is her best armor, as well as evidence of her buoyant strength. Written with great heart and humanity, A Widow's Walk is a timely opportunity for remembrance and a timeless testament to love's loss and the resilience of the human spirit.

Dan and Elaine Mahoney are finally settled in St. Augustine, Florida, and Elaine has her brand new private investigator’s license, plus a job offer with a prestigious law firm. So, it’s with some excitement that she talks to her first client, a young man whose mother recently died. Rick Elliston is convinced that her fall from the fourth floor widow’s walk of their luxurious home was not suicide, as the police seem to think. He's convinced that his step-father pushed her. There was a big insurance policy. Elaine’s challenge is to find the evidence, and the only problem is that there is none. Dan, meanwhile, has been sent out to look over a sailing schooner that his company, United Life & Casualty has insured, and it turns out the owner of the business that offers sunset tourist cruises, is none other than Hank Beaufort, step-father of Elaine’s client. And Dan really likes the guy—he just doesn’t seem like a man who would kill his wife. At first. As both of them dig into their cases, a whole new set of facts come out. There was marital straying, the luxury mansion was mortgaged to the hilt, and Hank needs money for his newest business scheme. It’s a tangled web indeed, complicated by the inescapable fact that a hurricane is bearing down on the Florida coast. Can Dan and Elaine figure it out before the storm makes their jobs that much harder? Praise for Susan Slater’s Dan Mahoney series: “Dan Mahoney is an appealingly resilient character, a welcome addition to the roster of sleuths that make the Southwest a hotbed of current mystery fiction.” —Publishers Weekly “Flash Flood is just what it sounds like—a fresh, surprising, adrenaline-rush whitewater ride. It’s also funny. Susan Slater can flat-out write.” —Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author of The Cartel “There’ll be much, much more, with whispers of everything before Slater closes out this lively, surprising case, first of a series.” – Kirkus Reviews
When Jim Donovan is sixteen years old, two events occur that shape the rest of his life. His father has a fatal heart attack, and Jim suffers the humiliation from a prank played on him by a group of seventeen-year-old girls. From then on, sex, violence, and the supernatural play major roles in his fateful journey. A pattern of tragedy and humiliation follows him into adulthood where evil takes human, animal, and otherworldly forms, stalking him at every turn and objectifying Jim throughout his life. His therapist, Dr. Pe're, becomes the personification of evil, clothed in the soothing role of healer and teacher. Meanwhile, Renee, his beautiful wife, steers Jim back to his better instincts and a new life--and yet he faces the age-old temptations of money, power, and sex, urged on by Dr. Pe're. Jim rises to great heights as a mega-church evangelist in South Florida and later falls in a hushed-up scandal that propels him and his wife to Africa, where they ultimately fall victim to mystical and ritualistic depravity. Widow's Walk follows Jim as he battles an intensifying struggle between good and evil that dominates his entire life--a life that is alternately strange, terrifying, and wonderful, where he must confront real contradictions of elation and depression, love and hatred, and trust and betrayal.
