The World Made Straight by Ron Rash Pdf

Vivid, harrowing yet ultimately hopeful, The World Made Straight is Ron Rash's subtlest exploration yet of the painful conflict between the bonds of home and the desire for independence. NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING NOAH WYLE, JEREMY IRVINE, MINKA KELLY, ADELAIDE CLEMENS, STEVE EARLE, AND HALEY JOEL OSMENT. "ONE OF THE MAJOR WRITERS OF OUR TIME."—THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION Travis Shelton is seventeen the summer he wanders into the woods onto private property outside his North Carolina hometown, discovers a grove of marijuana large enough to make him some serious money, and steps into the jaws of a bear trap. After hours of passing in and out of consciousness, Travis is discovered by Carlton Toomey, the wise and vicious farmer who set the trap to protect his plants, and Travis's confrontation with the subtle evils within his rural world has begun. Before long, Travis has moved out of his parents' home to live with Leonard Shuler, a one-time schoolteacher who lost his job and custody of his daughter years ago, when he was framed by a vindictive student. Now Leonard lives with his dogs and his sometime girlfriend in a run-down trailer outside town, deals a few drugs, and studies journals from the Civil War. Travis becomes his student, of sorts, and the fate of these two outsiders becomes increasingly entwined as the community's terrible past and corrupt present bear down on each of them from every direction, leading to a violent reckoning—not only with Toomey, but with the legacy of the Civil War massacre that, even after a century, continues to divide an Appalachian community.

A Lucky Irish Lad by Kevin O'Hara Pdf

Kevin O'Hara recreates his boyhood with these wonderful stories of growing up in Massachusetts in the 1950s and 60s as one of eight children. His parents, born in Ireland, came to this country for their children's sake. His family struggled against grinding poverty but they never gave up and never lost their faith that God had a plan for them. Kevin learned the lessons of making do and making things last, and what the true riches of the world are: good health and the love of a united family. All these lessons grounded him as he reached adulthood...and was sent off to fight in wilds of Vietnam as a reluctant solider. This book will tug at your heart and make you cry tears of both sorrow and joy. It is a story about the Irish-American experience but it is much more--it's the story of a generation growing up in the shadow of the Second World War and the start of a new age of hope and promise, a time when people believed that anything was possible as long as you dared to dream and had faith in yourself. And a little Irish luck couldn't hurt either. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Fifty Something by Dr. Robert M. Fleisher Pdf

So what are the fifties all about? You realize you know more dead people than ever before. You think you’re never too old to be cool, in shape and healthy. Not true! Some of you are already starting to look old, feel old and act old. How many years of quality life do you have left? The fifties may be the last period in your life that you will be able to reverse some of the damage you have done in past years. If you don’t do it now, it will be nearly impossible to do in the next decade. In ten years how many of your contemporaries will no longer be here? Is there a fountain of youth? Will your marriage survive? When does menopause start? How about andropause (the real name for male menopause)? Most guys don’t know it exists. They just decline and become that grumpy old man. Are there remedies for the hormonal decline that is inevitable in both men and women? You don’t want to exist with a life of chronic illness and misery. Join the small but smarter more diligent group of folks who are going to change their lives for the better by following the advice in Fifty Something. Observations, interviews and extensive research are employed to give the reader an unusual insight into the process of passing through the fifties. You can go it alone, or you can take a guide with you. You can keep Fifty Something on your night table and look up the things that are important to you as they are encountered, or you can go to sleep in the dark about your very existence. You decide. Because the second half of life really can be better than the first half. Fifty Something has answers.

Notes for My Body Double by Paul Guest Pdf

Who would guess that Godzilla, the Invisible Man, Elvis, Donald Duck, Ted Williams, and the Three Stooges might have something to say about the love and loss that shape the way we see the world? And yet these are the pop-culture coordinates that chart the emotional life brilliantly mapped out in Paul Guest?s second book of poems. Winner of the Prairie Schooner Prize in Poetry, this collection plumbs the depths of nature and culture (how, for instance, ?gar? in Old English means ?spear,? and an octopus can lose a limb during mating) to give form to the darkness and the light that make us human. ø In poetry whose tone is largely one of lament tempered by a wry and intelligent humor, Paul Guest does what a poet does best: he gives us the moments of his life refashioned to reflect the larger arc and meaning of our own?of life, that is, writ large.
