Wise Young Fool

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
You want ninety? Fine, I'll give you ninety. I'll give them to you coming and going. Teen rocker Ritchie Sudden is pretty sure his life has just jumped the shark. Except he hates being called a teen, his band doesn't play rock, and "jumping the shark" is yet another dumb cliché. Part of Ritchie wants to drop everything and walk away. Especially the part that's serving ninety days in a juvenile detention center. Telling the story of the year leading up to his arrest, Ritchie grabs readers by the throat before (politely) inviting them along for the (max-speed) ride. A battle of the bands looms. Dad split about five minutes before Mom's girlfriend moved in. There's the matter of trying to score with the dangerously hot Ravenna Woods while avoiding the dangerously huge Spence Proffer--not to mention just trying to forget what his sister, Beth, said the week before she died. Acclaimed author Sean Beaudoin's latest offering is raw, razor-sharp, and genuinely hilarious.

Drumming the Beat to Our Emotions
Author: Mirta Alicia Castillo
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1496924479
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
Mirta Alicia Castillo and Jose Valentin are two poets with a distinguished lineage from St. Vincent (Garifuna), prior residents of Honduras, and both are currently residing in the United States. Mirta Alicia Castillo shares her experiences and storms of life through poetry, stemming from heartbreaks, rekindling with love, discrimination, culture, and celebration of life. She shares grieving the death of her parents who both died the same year, four months apart, and immediately leading her into separation from a childless tenured marriage and the grueling pain it caused. Loving deeply and having to let go, prevented further anguish, deceptions and gave her the time to grieve the death of her parents, by which she did not get a chance to do, with all other stressors taking a toll on her. Through all the pain she underwent, God had other plans for Mirta Alicia. See what God had in store for her in the midst of the storms of her life? Her lifetime experience proved that God was always in the midst as she prevailed and came out victorious! Joining forces for the love of poetry, Jose Valentin underwent different struggles as a Garifuna man born and raised in the United States. Discrimination, examining his Garifuna roots in comparison to Garifuna born in Central America and the opportunities life offered him in America, taught him to appreciate and treasure everything he had in comparison to Central American way of life on many of his visits. Mr. Valentin's poems reflect struggles and obstacles minorities face growing up in the inner city. Enduring the unfair practices of some members of society propelled Jose to openly write about circumstances in urban environments. His experiences helped him pursue legal education. He is currently working as a counselor with refugee youth. The position allows him to provide a path for the youth's future.
