Book Description
Rapist. Murderer. Pedophile. Church deacon. These are some of the words that characterize my father. From the age of seven to the age of eighteen, Lucinda Mills lived in fear of her father. The very man who was supposed to love and protect her was the one who robbed her of her innocence, making her the target of his sick perversions as he raped her repeatedly for over a decade. Years later Lucinda was still dealing with the aftermath of incest and abuse, her hatred toward her father and the baggage she carried affecting every aspect of her life-even her relationship with God, her Heavenly Father. In Let Yesterday Go: Finding Grace in the Midst of the Storm, she shares her heartrending story of survival, struggle, and ultimately triumph through love and forgiveness. Raw with emotion and honesty, this story is one that victims of all types of abuse can find hope in, discovering that it is possible to Let Yesterday Go.

The Last Lecture
Author: Randy Pausch
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780340977002
Category : Cancer
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasnt about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

Broken Birds
Author: Maria Tucciarone
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 149075962X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Broken Birds is an opus dedicated to the broken-hearted. Its scathing language and acrimonious tone is reflective of a human heart which has been crushed in spirit. It journeys through anger, disbelief, bitterness and sadness, yet sometimes ventures toward forgiveness and resignation. Anyone who has ever experienced the intensity of a pulverized heart may herein find a sonnet that speaks to them. The sarcasm contained within Broken Birds is not for the faint-hearted, but hopes to heal the soul with sympathy. A few convivial sonnets and occasional satirical, wry humor help to lighten the dark mood of Broken Birds. Poetry can be cathartic and therapeutic. Whether structured sonnets, flowing free verse, lyrical odes, jaunty limericks or brief contemplative haiku, poetry has served to encapsulate the gamut of emotion experienced by humankind and makes us feel like were not alone. Take it slow, savor the syllables and the rhythmic beat of the meter as you allow the poems to ricochet within your mind. Peruse these pages and let the author commiserate with you through the written word as you ignite your own renaissance.
