Author: Leslie Mae
Publisher: iUniverse

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 598
Book Description
Sunny Jim was the love child of doting parents. Exceptionally bright, he was twice promoted to a higher grade level. Among older, more sexually aware boys, he was teased for his ignorance of sex. Sunny made it his goal to learn more than the older boys. At age nineteen, Sunny became employed by Ma Bell of Canada, choosing that job because of all the female telephone operators. On his first day at a suburban telephone station, the chief operator invited herself to be his weekend companion. The chief operator used Sunny for sexual experimentation, then tricked him into donating a dowry for her daughter抯 wedding. Sunny married twice, but marriage didn抰 keep him from seeking sex with other women. A special thrill for Sunny was the Christmas he spent with a countess who wanted him as her consort, an ex-sister-in-law who had issued an open invitation to share her bed, Sunny抯 wife, and an orphan he had trained in sexual arts. Sunny invented a method of sending a cardiogram by telephone, but couldn抰 have invented a stranger life than his own. Though his love died with his beloved Mindy, Sunny became the love of a homeless and unattractive woman抯 life.

Imagine an unwanted child from a loveless home becoming president of three institutions of Christian higher education with a voice for world Wesleyan leader-ship.This is the life story of David McKenna.

Hitchcock's People, Places, and Things
Author: John Bruns
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 0810139979
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Hitchcock’s People, Places, and Things argues that Alfred Hitchcock was as much a filmmaker of things and places as he was of people. Drawing on the thought of Bruno Latour, John Bruns traces the complex relations of human and nonhuman agents in Hitchcock’s films with the aim of mapping the Hitchcock landscape cognitively, affectively, and politically. Yet this book does not promise that such a map can or will cohere, for Hitchcock was just as adept at misdirection as he was at direction. Bearing this in mind and true to the Hitchcock spirit, Hitchcock’s People, Places, and Things anticipates that people will stumble into the wrong places at the wrong time, places will be made uncanny by things, and things exchanged between people will act as (not-so) secret agents that make up the perilous landscape of Hitchcock’s work. This book offers new readings of well-known Hitchcock films, including The Lodger, Shadow of a Doubt, Psycho, The Birds, and Marnie, as well as insights into lesser-discussed films such as I Confess and Family Plot. Additional close readings of the original theatrical trailer for Psycho and a Hitchcock-directed episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents expand the Hitchcock landscape beyond conventional critical borders. In tracing the network of relations in Hitchcock’s work, Bruns brings new Hitchcockian tropes to light. For students, scholars, and serious fans, the author promises a thrilling critical navigation of the Hitchcock landscape, with frequent “mental shake-ups” that Hitchcock promised his audience.

Labyrinths of Deceit
Author: Richard J. Walker
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1835534023
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and through Knowledge Unlatched. Prominent citizens in nineteenth-century England believed themselves to be living in a time of unstoppable progress. Yet running just beneath Victorian triumphalism were strong undercurrents of chaos and uncertainty. Richard Walker plumbs the depths of those currents in order to present an alternative history of nineteenth-century society. Mining literary and philosophical works of the period, Walker explores the crisis of identity that beset nineteenth-century thinkers and how that crisis revealed itself in portrayals of addiction, split personalities, and religious mania. Victorian England will never look the same.

Confessions of a Justified Hooker
Author: Sandra Ntonya
Publisher: Austin Macauley
ISBN: 9781528931779
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Harrowingly honest and strangely uplifting, this is a courageous testimony written from the soul of a unique, if not peculiar, woman whose tale transcends political and legal struggles. So tragic, yet tremendously inspiring, her feats of strength take you into the dark heart of modern Britain that perhaps you have never seen before. It is a heartwarming fight of a gracious mother, desperate to get her son the medical care he so vitally needs, whilst his father seeks only to exploit him. When faced with the greatest challenges of her life, she ventures a most ghastly and terrifying path to an uncertain future. There, her legion of clients become her unexpected support group. In them, she finds solace, exhilaration and, most importantly, healing. Rising from the 'grime' of Gorton, Manchester, Sandra breaks convention and rises into the sheets with the rich and powerful. Holding nothing back, the illicit encounters and rampant rendezvous, be they Premier League stars or Irish VIPs, all are weaved in. The layers of sacred promises, illicit secrecy and hidden intimacy are peeled back to reveal pleasure and purity. In the melting pot, her boudoir, those who have tasted her pleasures, become her story, her journey, her life... Keep Calm and Kinky On.
