Book Description
Juanita Brown Tobin lives in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Irene Cosmo, editor of Pangloss Papers, says, Tobin is "a square-rigged sailing ship that goes right into the wind. Honest as a two-by-four over the head, she has worked at Dorothea Dix mental hospital, which left her with few illusions. That does not mean she is without beliefs. In herself, her writing, in God, and in someone called Simon with a love that passes all understanding." Tobin writes a weekly column for The Blowing Rocket, Blowing Rock's newspaper.

Running Ransom Road
Author: Caleb Daniloff
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 0547725841
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
One man’s chronicle of his road to recovery as he quits drinking, puts on sneakers, and sweats his way through sobriety. Caleb Daniloff never set out to be a marathoner. Then again, he never set out to be a drunk, either. But after years of sobriety, he puts on a pair of running shoes and starts down a path that will lead him to compete in marathons across the world on a journey of self-discovery. As he runs from Boston to Vermont to Moscow, Daniloff draws lessons from the road and confronts the most destructive period in his life, completing races in each of the cities where he once lived and wreaked havoc. With each step, Daniloff is forced to face his issues rather than maneuver around them. And as he moves forward, he connects with others who have also taken up running on their path to recovery. At once a memoir of addiction, healing, and pushing past your limitations, Running Ransom Road is ultimately the poignant story of one man’s trek to a better life, one mile at a time—and “his captivating narrative describes a journey of personal redemption that, fortunately for us, he is willing to share” (Frank Shorter, Olympic marathon gold medalist). “Running Ransom Road is Caleb Daniloff’s unblinking, ultimately triumphant account of his journey from mean, hopeless drunk back to humanity and himself—through distance running. It’s a searing tale of spiritual redemption—one marathon, one mile, one brave, difficult step at a time.” —Steve Friedman, coauthor of New York Times bestseller Eat & Run and author of the memoir Lost on Treasure Island

Ransom Street
Author: Claire Millikin
Publisher: 2leaf Press
ISBN: 9781940939902
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Ransom Street is Claire Millikin's third collection of poetry with 2Leaf Press. The poems in this volume meditate on the idea of ransom to explore legacies of violence in the southeastern United States, ultimately seeking moments of reckoning for these unsettled histories. A fee paid to release a prisoner, ransom can, Millikin shows us, initiate a sacrificial act that drives people apart, but also, when paid, can bring the homeless home. The poems in Ransom Street move through the question of release elliptically, exploring these abstract implications of ransom through a fictional street in a southeastern American town. The presence of inherited violence, cultural and familial, haunt the terrain of Ransom Street, as the poems move through a geography of ghosts, always seeking "ransom," the sacrificial act that returns the self to wholeness.

Seduce and Destroy Blake Corbin is seventeen, bored, psychotic, and too pretty for his own good. Not satisfied with high school girls, Blake devises a new project for himself. He'll destroy his boss Apple Shannon, a cheerful thirty-something who owns The Kitchen where he works after school. First, he'll seduce her. Then, he'll blackmail her, claiming she molested a minor. Finally, he'll take everything from her: her business, her self-respect, and her reputation. The best part is she'll blame herself, so it's not just brute force destruction. It's eloquent and complex. There's layers to the whole thing. Welcome to Liar's Island... a stand-alone series of interconnected domestic thrillers set in the picture-perfect community of Liars Island. Here, nothing is quite as it seems. On this island, families and friendships are more than meets the eye... secrets, deceptions, and jealousies threaten to ruin everything these influential people have built.
