Walking on Solid Ground by Raine Anne Pdf

LeeAnn is a senior in high school when she discovers an alarming revelation: her self-image no longer reflects her desire for near-perfection. While desperately attempting to harbor a secret that is slowly debilitating her every day, LeeAnn remains in denial. Although LeeAnn struggles, she is not alone. Her close-knit Italian family, childhood friends, and others she meets along her difficult road become her stepping stones to self-discovery. But when her tumultuous coming-of-age journey leads her into adulthood, an unexpected chain of events and surprises soon cause her dreams to spiral into the darkness of uncertainty. As her career, marriage, and angelic visions of motherhood hang precariously in the balance, now only time will tell if the ambiguity surrounding her challenges will ultimately shatter her world or ignite her determination to set out on a brighter, more promising path. In this novel inspired by true events, a young woman with big dreams and aspirations encounters a tumultuous world of uncertainty where she must somehow learn to spread her wings and bravely walk through her struggles.

Voices of the Asian American and Pacific Islander Experience [2 volumes] by Sang Chi,Emily Moberg Robinson Pdf

This unique work presents an extraordinary breadth of contemporary and historical views on Asian America and Pacific Islanders, conveyed through the voices of the men and women who lived these experiences over more than 150 years. In 1848, the "First Wave" of Asian immigration arrived in the United States. By the first decade of the 21st century, Asian Americans were the nation's fastest growing racial group. Through a far-ranging array of primary source documents, Voices of the Asian American and Pacific Islander Experience shares what it was like for these diverse peoples to live and work in the United States, for better and for worse. Organized chronologically by ethnicity, the book covers a panoply of ethnic groups, including recent Asian immigrants and mixed race/mixed heritage Asian Americans. There is also a topical section that showcases views on everything from politics to class to gender dynamics, underscoring that the Asian American population is not—nor has it ever been—monolithic. In choosing material, the editors strove to make the volume as comprehensive as possible. Thus, readers will discover documents written by transnational, adopted, and homosexual Asian Americans, as well as documents written from particular religious positions.

The Faerie Hill by Barbara-Ann Wilson Pdf

The Faerie Hill by Barbara-Ann Wilson, is truly a fairy-tale for kids of all ages. Travel with Duncan and Catriona into Scotland's secret Fairy Kingdom. This book was inspired by the Faerie Hill of Doon in Aberfoyle Scotland, one of the authors' most favorite places. "I heard tell that the bold Rev. Kirk is alive and well at the Court of the Faerie Queen, as the two unsuspecting children in my story discovered! So, if you ever decide to visit Doon Hill in Aberfoyle, please be respectful. Many people visit the hill and leave wishes tied to the trees for the Faeries to grant them, and also little gifts for the Faeries in return. Remember the Faeries might well be watching, so do be on your best behaviour!" - B.A. Wilson.

Jeff, the Roofer, Reflections of a Double Negative Life by Jeffrey Poppy Pdf

Writer Jeffrey Poppy writes a stunningly candid book based on his life experiences in Jeff the Roofer: Reflections of a Double Negative Life. Poppy was born into life with drama-as a newborn he had to have a blood transfusion. Growing up with an abusive father, he relived the abuse by self-destruction through his teenage years and into adulthood. Poppy played out his destruction in various ways-a near death gunshot wound, alcoholism, drugs, three failed marriages, six trips to rehab and then homeless. All avenues led to the same place-his own inner demons, until he entered an in-house treatment center. Upon release, Poppy traveled to Amsterdam and met his muse who inspired his creative poetry. Poppy entered a song-writing contest, won second place and traveled back to the United States landing in Nashville, Tennessee. He recorded 42 of his own songs-all inspired by his tenuous and amazing journey that finally released his demons and enabled him to find his own path. Jeff the Roofer: Reflections of a Double Negative Life begins with the song, The Times, that illustrates his quests and questions of life's meaning for him, and the song, Just Another Day takes him on the journey from inner strife to see freedom and triumph over self- destructive and abusive ways. Interwoven with heart wrenching storytelling are 28 compositions that chronicle his unsteady journey to recovery. This beautifully descriptive book is a compelling and inspiring narration of prose and lyrics that expertly encapsulate one man's escape from the cycle of abuse and self-destruction. Jeffrey Poppy is a writer, poet, songwriter, and craftsman. Mr. Poppy is currently writing his second novel and lives with his beloved dog in Durant, Oklahoma.
