Dirty Secret
Author: Jessie Sholl
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439192537
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
A fascinating look at compulsive hoarding by a woman whose mother suffers from the disease. To be the child of a compulsive hoarder is to live in a permanent state of unease. Because if my mother is one of those crazy junk-house people, then what does that make me? When her divorced mother was diagnosed with cancer, New York City writer Jessie Sholl returned to her hometown of Minneapolis to help her prepare for her upcoming surgery and get her affairs in order. While a daunting task for any adult dealing with an aging parent, it’s compounded for Sholl by one lifelong, complex, and confounding truth: her mother is a compulsive hoarder. Dirty Secret is a daughter’s powerful memoir of confronting her mother’s disorder, of searching for the normalcy that was never hers as a child, and, finally, cleaning out the clutter of her mother’s home in the hopes of salvaging the true heart of their relationship—before it’s too late. Growing up, young Jessie knew her mother wasn’t like other mothers: chronically disorganized, she might forgo picking Jessie up from kindergarten to spend the afternoon thrift store shopping. Now, tracing the downward spiral in her mother’s hoarding behavior to the death of a long-time boyfriend, she bravely wades into a pathological sea of stuff: broken appliances, moldy cowboy boots, twenty identical pairs of graying bargain-bin sneakers, abandoned arts and crafts, newspapers, magazines, a dresser drawer crammed with discarded eyeglasses, shovelfuls of junk mail . . . the things that become a hoarder’s “treasures.” With candor, wit, and not a drop of sentimentality, Jessie Sholl explores the many personal and psychological ramifications of hoarding while telling an unforgettable mother-daughter tale.

Book Description
Whatever, however, whenever, wherever, were the only words Mark Lionel Pinder was accustomed to hearing from women. He lived his life exactly as he wanted, answering to no one, and if someone got hurt along the way--hey, not his problem. He did any and every thing he wished, without fear of consequences. The world, after all, was his for the taking--he had the cash, the ladies, the lifestyle, and the perfect job to help him do it: as a croupier on beautiful Paradise Island in The Bahamas. The man was a scholar, moving from woman to woman, aiming to perfect the art of seduction--until the night he bedded the daughter of a millionaire with suspect political ties, and found himself caught up in the drama of overwhelming proportions. Desperate to slide out of a nasty situation, he is forced to make drastic alterations in his way of living. He finds himself off his game in more ways than one, and becomes captivated by the strikingly beautiful Jesse Sands. She more than tempts him to change his playboy ways. She's sweet, erotic and an exotic beauty. The only problem is, she's already married. Trapped in a lifetime commitment to a tyrant more than three times her age, Jesse is miserable. Abused, misused, neglected, she falls prey to this ladies' man when she is at her most vulnerable, eventually doing the unthinkable: falling in love. Settling down is nowhere on Lionel's agenda, and Jesse finds herself in a dangerous game she's unequipped to play. She, born of lies, and he, ruled by lustful passion, their stories expose the pitfalls of entrapment, the scourge of betrayals, generations of scandal, the flip side of sexual indiscretion...and DIRTY SECRETS

The Amish Village Mystery Collection

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 897
Book Description
In Middlebury’s Amish Artisan Village, murder is the last thing anyone expects. Can Amber and Hannah find these killers before fear unravels the community . . . or they strike again? Murder Simply Brewed Amber Wright is optimistic about the growing profit from her collection of Amish shops in Middlebury, Indiana—until she receives a call that Ethan Gray is dead. Hurrying over to A Simple Blend, she finds a solitary hole in the front window and the store manager lying next to the espresso machine, dead from an apparent heart attack. All the money is still in his register. When Amber hires a young Amish woman, Hannah Troyer, to take over the shop’s duties, the two women become fast friends—as well as amateur sleuths. The police believe Gray’s death is a by-product of vandalism, but Amber and Hannah aren't convinced. Murder Tightly Knit Even before she heard of Owen Esch’s death, Hannah Troyer knew something was amiss at The Cat’s Meow yarn shop. The store has been closing at odd times, the ever-dependable Mary isn’t always at her post . . . and an Englisch man has been seen loitering around back. Now, as leaves of brown, gold, and orange blanket Middlebury, Indiana, Owen lies dead on the Pumpkinvine Trail. The only clues to the murderer’s identity point in two very different directions—one of them leading right to The Cat’s Meow. Murder Freshly Baked Amber Bowman is thrilled to see the turnout for the Race for a Cure—and relieved to have something to distract her from the “Poison Poet”—an individual who has been sending notes containing bad poetry to warn of poisoned baked goods. Then Ryan Duvall crosses the finish line of the race—and falls down dead, murdered in broad daylight. But who did it? And why? The police suspect Preston Johnston, but Amber refuses to believe her employee could do such a thing. Amber once again looks to her young Amish friend Hannah Troyer to help her find the killer—and to determine if it’s the same person leaving the cryptic poems and pies.
