Shadow Life

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
In one minute, delivering a not guilty verdict at the end of the trial for a disturbing murder of a child, Matthew Rice’s life begins to unravel. The very structures his life is built upon start to collapse. Matthew retreats to Quarry Island in Georgian Bay, where he loses his wallet in a boating mishap. Among the pieces of identification he needs to replace is his birth certificate, but he’s informed it’s not on file. His birth certificate was a forgery. Not only have the foundations of his life given way, his very identity is shattered. Matthew learns that the woman who raised him was his father’s second wife, and that his real mother died when he was a baby. What began as a search for a replacement for his birth certificate becomes a search for a woman who was a trailblazing journalist. His search takes him on a journey to Sydney, Australia, Boston, and Dublin; it results in the possession of the journals his mother kept up to her dying days in 1952. These entries are a window into a fascinating woman and a distant time not so different from our own. Still unsure of his place in a world that has changed in ways he has difficulty completely understanding, he returns to Quarry Island in Georgian Bay, where he stocks up on books and a case of good Scotch to sit out the end of his world as he knew it. But fate has more in store for Matthew than he can understand.

A Tribute to My Wife, “Rutha M. Hall” with “3” Little Angels God Sent
Author: Larry D. Hall
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1546278931
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
This tribute is to the woman that before her, I was less than nothing, and with her, I started to become something, and now I’m invincible. She brought me from nothing to something to someone who can change the world. When I was a boy growing up, most people said I wouldn’t live to reach manhood, but if I did, I would end up in jail. But by the grace of God and the support from my wife, I proved them all wrong. I give thanks every day to God for putting you in my life. I also give thanks to you for staying with me after all the wrong, pain, disappointment, and suffering I caused you. But most of all, for not killing me in my sleep (God knows you had every reason to do so). You have been the anchor that kept my ship from drifting away, the thing that held it in place when it was drifting out to the open sea. Because of you, I was able to charter a new course, maintain it, and reach our goals. If God had not put you in my life, my ship would have sail to places unknown—a place where there is no future (where time stands still), a place where lost people end up (hell on earth). Thank you for saving me from that, thank you for showing me the right directions to the right places in life, and a thank you for helping me get there. I can’t even see life without you with me; all I can see without you is an empty space—like a black hole with no light at the end (a dead end). My future would be nothing without you being in the future with me. You are my better half. That part of me where good exists. The part that will take me from the darkness into the light. This book is a tribute to you, my wife, Rutha M. Hall, because you are the wind in my sails wherever my ship ends up. It’s because of your wind and God’s navigation. I was just the tool he used, a blind man that couldn’t see. So this book is a tribute to the most wonderful woman God could ever send a man. He sent me you, Rutha M. Hall, a woman who could stay with a man after all the wrong and bad things he did to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You stayed with me after all the disrespect, the women, the drugs, and alcohol for over thirty years. Again, thank you, and please, please, forgive me (once more)! Because I know this (ship) has other goals to reach, and I know this (ship) will reach those goals because of your wind and God’s navigation. How can it not? Thank you for being my wife, Rutha M. Hall. You saved my life.
