What if your life didn't go on as it's programmed to, restarting at specific times in your past, repeatedly? What if Ken Grimwood's unparalleled novel, Replay, turned out to be reality? What would you do after your initial shock subsided somewhat? What would you do after you had done all the obvious things you could do? Louis finds himself in such a predicament, leaping back into his past, struggling to comprehend what's happening to him. He seeks some passing solace in the company of individuals who had marked his life-from Elvis Presley to Steve Irwin-sadly, all of whom had died too early but whom he attempts to save one way or another. Dedicated to Ken Grimwood and ultimately to longtime travel, this novel tries to intimate and cope with many of its inherent problems, especially death and immortality, two extremes that seem to lack a common ground.

Book Description
Woman Alone is a vision and dream of mine out of experiences of feeling alone within my marriage. It tells of both my personal struggles in my marriage and my attempt to help women and men to understand their completion of each other through their spiritual growth from wisdom found in the Holy Bible.

Fort Benning Blues
Author: Mark Busby
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 0875655408
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
If you've never even been to Southeast Asia, can you be a Vietnam veteran? In a novel that captures the life and times of a generation, Mark Busby takes us on a journey through an era of hippies, the shootings at Kent State University, integration, and Woodstock. Fort Benning Blues tells the story of Vietnam from this side of the ocean. Drafted in 1969, Jeff Adams faces a war he doesn't understand. While trying to delay the inevitable tour of duty in Vietnam, Adams attends Officer Candidate School in Fort Benning, Georgia, desperately hoping Nixon will achieve “peace with honor” before he graduates. The Army's job is to weed out the “duds,” “turkeys,” and “dummies” in an effort to keep not only the officers but also the men under their command alive in the rice paddies of Vietnam. It doesn't take long for the stress to create casualties. Lieutenant Rancek, Adams' training officer at OCS, is ready to cut candidates from the program for any perceived weakness. He does this, not for the Army, but because he wants only the best “. . . leading the platoon on my right” when he goes to Vietnam. Hugh Budwell, one of Adams' roommates, brings the laid-back spirit of California with him to Fort Benning. Tired of practicing estate law, he joins the Army to relieve the boredom he feels pervades his life. About Officer Candidate School, Budwell states, “If I wanted to go through it without any trouble, I'd be wondering about myself.” Candidate Patrick “Sheriff” Garrett, a black southerner, spends a night with Adams in the low-crawl pit after they both raise Rancek's ire. Expecting racism when he joined the Army, Garrett copes better than most with the rigors of Officer Candidate School. Busby uses song lyrics, newspaper headlines, and the jargon of the era to bring the sixties and seventies alive again. Henry Kissinger is described as “Peter Sellers as Dr. Strangelove” and Lieutenant William “Rusty” Calley as “Howdy Doody in uniform.” Of My Lai, Busby says, “At Fort Benning everybody took those actions as a matter of course.” As America continues to try to comprehend the effects of one of the most transforming eras in our history, Fort Benning Blues adds another perspective to the meaning of being a Vietnam veteran.

Author: Peggy Jo Henry
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 1977211437
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
Is my book fiction or nonfiction? You'll be the judge of that. Here's the hitch to get you to buy my semi-autobiographical book. My book is in two parts. "Episode I," the fun game, contains short entertaining and serious stories and poems. Because of the controversial subject matter, the shortness of my book, and the little-known fact that I'm not famous you go through unique "Episode I" hunting for hidden movie and song titles. There are approximately 775 movie, television, and documentary programs. Then there are the 341 songs, and an added "downright fun," to the game, by using 31 clues you go through finding an Oscar nominated actor for the Sherlock in all of us. Play on your smartphone, computer, or tablet at airports, coffee houses, appointments, and basically anywhere you have to wait. Play with family and friends to see who can find the most titles. Who is the actor? You'd be surprised. A lot of fun for the trivia and entertainment sleuth. Are you entertainment savvy enough to play the game? Just to let you know titles, names, short phrases, expressions, and ideas are not protected by copyright laws. "Episode II," the second part, is the more serious part. "Communication in a non-confrontational manner promotes learning." This sentence is in my book. Communication, what is it? How can I get information to you in a non-confrontational manner that concern you and me? "Episode II," is a memoir containing journal entries, emails, and letters coping with a possible situation that could have ended in a mass shooting, the ups and downs of mental illness, postpartum depression, suicide, and my air traffic control experiences. All topics of conversation in today's society. My book is a collectible and the only one of its kind in the world. A little something extra-I have included some of my favorite easy recipes. Enjoy.

Untold Secrets, Lost Innocence, Family Betrayal, Sex Sells Ripple effects of being molested followed me for years. There are only so many ways a little girl can train herself to accept the horrific abuse from the hands of her dad. I came up with a few unique ways. Being choked into submission definitely stands out as one. Burying myself in my head was the best coping mechanism I came up with during the years of abuse. Except it only got worse from there. As a teenager, how do you process being raped? As a young woman, how do you handle the fear of taking a bath, wondering if a someone is going to come running into the bathroom after you? Maybe I should just ignore the fact I had experienced so much sexual abuse. What's left to focus on in my life? Well . . . - There's being in the center of multiple family secrets. - Reoccurring nightmares reminding me I killed the one person I knew loved me unconditionally. - Dropped out of high school and had absolutely no self-esteem. - Caught in the midst of a child abuse investigation when I'm not the victim. - Buried some family, lost some friends. - Seal that off with a few miscarriages, a couple abortions, a car accident, a remorseful stalker, and a jealous revenge-seeking ex-lover. Welcome to my life. It just didn't seem like the pain and drama would ever end. Until I fell in love. This man was like no other man I've ever known. He loved me unconditionally. He told me every single day, even when I refused to listen. Falling in love with him saved my life. He loved me so much he gave his life for me. So, what am I willing to do in return for him?
