Fallout: memoir of a freckle face freak

Fallout: memoir of a freckle face freak Review

Pain, fear, humor, trauma, isolation, betrayal, rage, joy, strength, growth...

Fallout of a Freckle Face Freak is the journey of an eight-year-old girl "in the wrong place at the wrong time". From trauma through years of denial, repression, traumatic memory, coping, pretending, and living a life forever changed because of one night of insanity. Now at the age of forty-one, the author takes us through her journey in an honest, blatant, poignant, and touchingly humane memoir unlike any other. Balanced with humor, creativity, hope, and courage, this memoir connects with the reader in a unique way.

For survivors, it offers kinship, validation, and hope.

For counselors, social workers, and psychologists, it offers a unique insight and understanding to assist clients in a more meaningful way.

For all others, it offers a connection to any part of their own human experience that has included pain, sadness, self-doubt, and challenge.

It is a unique reading experience that is bound to bring both laughter and tears. Ultimately, this is a story of healing - not a "quick fix", but in a lifetime of striving to rise above long ago wounds.

A Detective Under Fire: A Mystery (Harriet Martens Mysteries)

A Detective Under Fire: A Mystery (Harriet Martens Mysteries) Review

She started her career in London's Metropolitan Police Force but quickly realized women, in subtle ways, were discriminated against with no chance of advancement. She took a job on the Birchester Police Force and rose up the ranks to become Detective Superintendent. The media find her fascinating, dubbing her the "Hard Detective" because of her strong stance on getting the criminals off the streets and into a cage.

She is temporarily assigned by a senior member of Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary to investigate the Maximum Crimes Squad. This elite special force of police officers deal with a Columbian drug lord who has just taken over the people smuggling business. Harriet Martens is to see how high up corruption goes in the Max but she faces one obstacle after another as the men and women try to stonewall her.

The author has toned down the protagonist's strident speeches thereby making her more approachable and likeable. Her investigative methods are easy to follow and eventually yield results because the heroine is tenacious and determined. A DETECTIVE UNDER FIRE is a very fascinating police procedural in which teamwork and trust in your comrades get the job of placing the criminals behind bars done.

Harriet Klausner Detective Chief Inspector Harriet Martens is nicknamed the "Hard Detective" because of her tough stance. In Detective Under Fire, she must turn attention from the criminal world to her own police department, as she is put in charge of an internal investigation.

Loving Larry: A Tribute to the Lady Who Named Peptoboonsmal

Loving Larry: A Tribute to the Lady Who Named Peptoboonsmal Review

I really enjoyed reading it, even though I didn't totally follow all of the horse information, foal history. The story was put together so well, flowed together with thoughts and feelings. After I was done reading the book I felt so much admiration for Elaine to live as she has. What an inspiring woman!! I alternated between chuckles and tears during the book.

Penny is a great author who captured the essence of Elaine, from her great faith, to the love for her family.

LOVING LARRY the true story of a man worth loving, a God worth trusting and an equine sport worth celebrating. Loving Larry is a riveting page-turner that reads like a good novel. Penny Wormet has written an honest, heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting story of Elaine Hall's struggle to hold her family and life together in the face of her husband Larry's severe bipolar disease and eventual death. Deftly woven through Wormet's narrative is the story of Larry Hall Cutting Horses, home of some of the foremost performance horses in the world. Saddle up for a great ride! ~Sally Harrison, Author/Editor A Tribute to the Lady . . . Expected to fail in a business where men prevail, the grief stricken widow of Larry Hall drew strength from devout, unwavering faith. With profound love, she endured the numbing tragedy of Larry's mental illness. With dauntless determination, effervescent personality and business savvy based on common sense, she carried on the dream that continues to thrive in the cutting horse industry.

The Amazing Frecktacle

The Amazing Frecktacle Review

Nicholas Bells is an everychild who overcomes his deepest insecurity in this hilarious, touching, and incredibly engaging debut novel. I could not put the book down. P.S.

So when a mysterious department store manager promises to make the freckles disappear, Nicholas quickly agrees to the deal. Except when the dreaded freckles are finally gone, life gets even worse! Turns out the freckles were magic--and now they're under Mr. Piddlesticks's dastardly control! If Nicholas can't win his freckles back, no one will be safe from the amazing freckle power.

Red Hair and Freckles Running Barefoot through the Storm

Red Hair and Freckles Running Barefoot through the Storm Review

In the introduction to Fynn's 'Mister God This Is Anna', Vernon Sproxton defines an 'Ah! Book' as one which fundamentally changes the reader's consciousness. This is an 'Ah! book'.
As an English graduate I must acknowledge that there are a few grammatical errors in the text, but as a reader I must also say it couldn't matter less. Perhaps it's even a good thing, for to read this book is to connect with a real, fallible, loving human being who is writing truthfully and from the heart. I defy anyone to read this and not identify with the writer. The philosophy is wise, but always humble and never patronising, while the vivid details of everyday life spark the whole with a reality that is at first terrifying and gradually comforting as we travel Sandy's journey right alongside her. From the familiar picture on the first page of a woman working on her 'list of chores' to the shining triumph over a batch of chocolate fudge, from the graphic horror of the nightmares to the peace of the final light, this is a story we can lose our whole selves in as we trace the footsteps of one woman's journey through grief to acceptance. This is not a book for someone seeking glib, easy answers - it offers instead the reality of an ongoing journey - but answers are there all the same, and I for one have learnt a great deal from it.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has suffered bereavement or any other great trial. I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't, if only to help them prepare for the time when they do, and to reach greater understanding of those who have. In other words I would recommend this book to anyone at all who has a heart. On August 22nd, 1996, my nine-year-old grandson's life ended abruptly on a country road in Southern Pennsylvania. He and two friends were riding bikes when a car emerged over a hill missing two of the boys but striking my grandson head-on. While spiraling downward to depths of hopelessness, the only thing with me was pen and paper. I wrote when finding myself floundering through a world I no longer understood while the cycle of life reversed. As the foundation of faith was shaken, our close-knit family began to unravel. I continued to try and write away the pain in a desperate attempt to make sense of a world I no longer wanted to be a part of. This was just the beginning of a journey through agonizing loss in many forms. It appeared we were handed much more than we could handle when another child passed before us. Our marriage started to disconnect. While sifting through the hourglass of time, this true story is filled with vivid recollections of tragedies we stumbled through, weird dreams that dominated the nights, divine interventions, and my personal spiritual journey. This story was written from my perspective during a time when life and faith were shattered into millions of fragments. These pages are filled with heartache but weaved throughout with wonderful reminiscences. Against all odds, my husband and I reunited at the place where beginnings became endings. Red hair and Freckles will captivate every heart that has suffered loss in any form, and I believe the Lord touched my heart in many ways, giving me the courage to complete this story that has no ending until the breath in me is silenced. This book is about love...about loss...about life.

Chasing the Rodeo: On Wild Rides and Big Dreams, Broken Hearts and Broken Bones, and One Man's Search for the West

Chasing the Rodeo: On Wild Rides and Big Dreams, Broken Hearts and Broken Bones, and One Man's Search for the West Review

While rodeo insiders may find fault with this book and quibble over details, it remains an excellent introduction to the history, the personalities, and the meaning of this sport as it's evolved over the past century. Stratton, a journalist based in Austin, TX, with roots in Oklahoma, comes by his "kicker" credentials fairly enough - his mother a cowgirl in her own right and his father a rodeo cowboy who went on down the road and never came back. Stratton's book is a personal journey, a search for an understanding of the romance of rodeo - the call of the wild in the soul, the appeal of risk-taking, the love of a past that can be recaptured for a moment in a beautifully executed ride on a bucking horse or bull. And he does much to reclaim the essentials of a pastoral ritual that has been compromised by commercialism, corporate sponsorships, and marketing that positions it as an extreme sport.

Stratton covers some familiar ground that will not be new for all readers, but many stories deserve retelling, such as that of George Fletcher at the 1911 Pendleton Roundup, the first bulldogger, Bill Pickett, and the death of champion bull rider Lane Frost. Then there is an account of the first rodeo "cowgirl," Lucille Mulhall and of Indian cowboy Will Sampson, who played Chief Bromden in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." In Prescott, AZ, he has occasion to recall at length the rodeo film "Junior Bonner" with Steve McQueen.

There is a wide array of other personalities who find their way into Stratton's book: Justin McBride, Will Rogers, Tom Mix, Willie Nelson, Jack Kerouac, Ben Johnson, Theodore Roosevelt, Buffalo Bill Cody, and evangelist Susie Luchsinger. He gets closest to the sport itself in conversations with all-around champion Jesse Bail and bullriding champion Freckles Brown. The first-chapter account of Brown's famous ride on Tornado at the National Finals in 1967 just takes your breath away. Finally there is the search for the story of Stratton's absent cowboy father, which rounds out the book with more than a little poignance. I loved this book and recommend it to anyone curious about rodeo, the fascination it holds for both fans and participants, and its place in American popular culture.

From its roots as the quintessential Western pastime, rodeo has grown to an international, prime-time television sport. Steeped in tradition and the independent spirit of the range, aspiring cowboys and cowgirls are called to its high-stakes, rough-and-tumble fame as they risk their lives for eight seconds of triumph.

In Chasing the Rodeo W. K. Stratton follows this quest for one season of the pro rodeo and bull-riding tours. He explores the history of the chutes -- from rodeo's disputed origins (Prescott, Arizona, or Pecos, Texas?) to its current skyrocketing popularity. But out on the trail Stratton finds more than calf-roping and unrideable bulls, uncovering a culture complete with myths, codes of honor, million-dollar purses, Cowboy Church, and the kinds of legends that make good stories unforgettable.

Just such a story emerges here as Stratton tells of his runaway "rodeo bum" father --Cowboy Don -- whose specter haunts his travels on the circuit. As he learns more about the life that proved too seductive for his father to abandon, Stratton fills in a portrait of the man he never knew but whose legacy he couldn't help but inherit.

Filled with cowboy longing and rodeo dreams, this is a tribute to the characters of the West -- Freckles Brown, Lucille Mulhall (the first cowgirl), Wild Bill Hickock, Lane Frost, and today's superstars like Jesse Bail. In the great tradition of Wallace Stegner and Ken Kesey, W. K. Stratton fashions an expansive tale out of the gritty reality of the life around us. Chasing the Rodeo is a bucking, riveting, glorious ride -- you'll want to hang on for the whole go-round.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit: Not Working Like A Dog

The Entrepreneurial Spirit: Not Working Like A Dog Review

The decision to become an entrepreneur is sometimes the most difficult step to take. The Entrepreneurial Spirit encourages one to take that step. In a fun, lighthearted way, the book descirbes of a group of friends--dogs, who, one by one, find their entrepreneurial spirit. Find yours before it's too late. The Entrepreneurial Sprit: Not Working Like A Dog captures and interestingly illustrates what many call the "entrepreneurial spirit". In other words, that thing which compels some people to become entrepreneurs, while many others only wish and desire to become entrepreneurs but never do. If you have always wanted to be "the boss" or thought about it, this book is for you. In a fun, lighthearted way, it illustrates the qualities and characteristics that people with the entrepreneurial spirit posses. Everybody can do it. That's what this book is all about. The Entrepreneurial Spirit: Not Working Like A Dog is a fictional story about dogs, which, like many works of fiction, draws from real-life experiences. A group of friends, who graduate from Lassie High School and go their different paths, are the subject of our story. We catch up with them at their high school reunions to see who took what path and how their life is as a result of choosing those paths. It is through those decisions and the ramifications of those decisions that we begin to understand what it the "entrepreneurial spirit" is all about. Meet the dogs: Max Mutt, who despite derision from his friends, opens his business Pooper-Scooper Inc., right out of high school. Does he have the entrepreneurial spirit? Or maybe we find it in his friend Damsel Poodle, who decides upon graduation to go into show business and meets several famous dog actors. Or maybe Bear Malamute, with his imposing figure and philosophical perspectives, shows us something of the entrepreneurial spirit. Perhaps though, Donald Doberman, the serious one of the group, tells us what we should understand about the spirit. Even though Freckles Dalmatian becomes a firedog, he too sheds some light on the subject. And finally we have Goldie Retriever and Scotty Shepard, who fall in love as they organize each reunion and eventually marry. What do they illustrate about the entrepreneurial spirit? Find out. The Make It Big With Yuvi book series tackles every aspect of successful entrepreneurship, and this book is no expectation. The different books cover topics such as how to buy a business, how to grow one, and how to sell one for maximum profit. Other books tackle selling techniques, how to negotiate and many others. Every book in the "Make It Big With Yuvi" collection offers valuable and important information that will help anyone "Make It Big." If "making it big" is your goal, then the "Make It Big With Yuvi" collection is required reading. Praise for The Entrepreneurial Spirit: Not Working Like a Dog "I previously worked in the health care industry and witnessed so many people thinking that they only had one option; go to college and work for someone else. Finally one day I said I've had enough and decided to follow my dream of owning my own business. Sure, it was challenging in the beginning, but my hard work has now paid off. As a business owner you realize that all of your hard work is for YOU, not some big CEO sitting on an island somewhere collecting the money. This book illustrates my story more than any other book."
