K is sent into care before a year marks his birth. He grows up in fields and woods, and he is happy, he thinks. When K is eleven, the city reclaims him. He returns to an unknown mother and a part-time father, trading the fields for flats and a community that is alien to him. Slowly, he finds friends. Eventually, he finds love. He learns how to navigate the city. But as he grows, he begins to realise that he needs more than the city can provide. He is a man made of pieces. Pieces that are slowly breaking apart That Reminds Me is the story of one young man, from birth to adulthood, told in fragments of memory. It explores questions of identity, belonging, addiction, sexuality, violence, family and religion. It is a deeply moving and completely original work of literature from one of the brightest British writers of today.
In Which Reminds Me Duane Windemiller paints a picture of his spiritual pilgrimage from farm boy to college professor-through wars and tranquility-social struggles and personal victory-tears and laughter, to the sense of Jesus' words: "Well done, my good and faithful servant." The picture on the cover is of the author of this book-pastor of the Hampton Beach, NH, summer time chapel. The congregation calls him Windy and he calls himself Sacred Agent 007. The chapel, known as "The Singing Church," is unusual. The bulletin board invites all to "Come as You Are-Happy Hour 9:30." There is laughter and 150 to 200 voices singing gospel music to the beat of a rocking and rolling piano-enough to drown out the shrieking and splashing from the water slide next door. Being pastor of this chapel for twenty-four years caps the long and multi-faceted career of Doc Windy who invites you on a picturesque guided tour nearly ninety years long.

That Reminds Me of a Story by James E. Collins Pdf
I probably watch too much news, read too many newspapers, magazines, and blogs, and have too many conversations with people about politics. Often in my mind, I consider myself better than politicians. I may be better than some but not all of them. What I notice is that I make similar mistakes to those in charge. Because of this, I'm willing to say I'm not perfect. And I have the experiences to prove it. Join me in a journey to tell people why I should not run for public office, nor should I receive any write-in votes in the next election. If you do opt for writing my name in on your ballot and are uncertain how, ask for assistance from the helpful people at your voting location and write in my full name, James E. Collins. You may not change an election, but maybe it will change your outlook, knowing that you can vote for whom you want to, not someone you are being told to vote for. As an afterthought, please don't tell me about ending a sentence with a preposition. I tend to do that.
As a member of the group, [email protected] I would begin following a thread on the emails and there were things in that thread that would jog my memory about my younger days in the ship yard and on the tugs. I would relate these memories to the group and after awhile there were quite a few of these stories and my cyber friends insisted I write a book about my experiences. These stories cover about 10 years of my early employment from my time in the ship yard to becoming an oiler and finally an engineer before I went ashore and into management. And a few stories from my ship yard management time. I hope you enjoy them.
This book is a different kind of biography. It is not a chronological account of my life. But it is my life story, as parts of it are recalled by present everyday occurrences, hence; Now That Reminds Me.......the name of the book. I spent thirty years as a military wife, and wanted to share some of my memories with you. I truly believe that everyone has a story in them. I am sure that everyone can relate, in their own special way to my stories. Let's sit here on the porch, in our rocking chairs, sip our iced tea (sweetened, of course) and swap stories.

A beautiful wife, two adorable (if rambunctious) sons, a job he loved, a comfortable home, and family and friends in his hometown of St. Caroline, Maryland ... … until the day he has to stand by helplessly and watch his wife’s unconscious body get cut from the mangled wreckage of her car. Serena Wolfe was a blissfully happy newlywed with a tall, dark, and handsome firefighter for a husband and a honeymoon baby on the way … … until the day she wakes up from a coma to discover that she’s actually thirty years old and has two adorable (if rambunctious) boys, a house, and friends … none of which she can remember. That’s alarming enough. But Serena might have had a secret former life … which she also can’t remember … Come to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Julia Gabriel’s new series about love, family, and second chances ... The 300-year-old town of St. Caroline, Maryland, is part fishing village and part summer playground for the wealthy and powerful.

Read the entire series: Book 1: Hearts on Fire Book 2 Two of Hearts Book 3: This Reminds Me of Us Book 4: The Holiday Movie (coming 2023) *** Read what others are saying about This Reminds Me of Us: "In this series, Gabriel has created a realistic world in the seaside town of St. Caroline. The Wolfes and the Trevors are some of my favourite book people. The storytelling was vivid - so much so that I actually felt like I was sitting in a corner, watching the drama unfold in the characters' home.I haven't enjoyed a "slice of life" novel so thoroughly as this one in a very long time. I highly, highly, highly recommend this very excellent novel. You can bet I will be purchasing her other novels in this series. Enjoy!"-- Reedsy Discovery "If you like small town romance, hot firefighters, and second chances, this is your book." "Warm, sweet, beautifully written." "This book gave me ALL the feels. It is an extremely emotional story that deals with heartbreak and loss in an extremely honest and heartfelt way." "I expected a typical "romance" with a predictable outline resulting in a HEA. I wouldn't say that this book lived up to those expectations, as it didn't feel like a mass market romance. It was so much more. It was raw and gritty and so honest. There is an HEA but it is wrestled out of life circumstances that would defeat many." "This is one of those books where you need more than 5 stars! The story line is so captivating and so realistic. The characters are so real and so easy to fall in love with. The author has done a fantastic job writing the story line so the reader feels like they are right there with the characters. As you read along you find yourself getting lost in the pages and just want to escape your every day routines for a little while." "I was looking forward to this book and it didn't disappoint." "Wow this was the first novel I have read by this author but it won't be the last. This novel grabbed me from the very first page and would not let me go until the very last."
