There Will Be No Miracles Here
Author: Casey Gerald
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0735214212
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2018 BY NPR AND THE NEW YORK TIMES A PBS NEWSHOUR-NEW YORK TIMES BOOK CLUB PICK "Somehow Casey Gerald has pulled off the most urgently political, most deeply personal, and most engagingly spiritual statement of our time by just looking outside his window and inside himself. Extraordinary." —Marlon James "Staccato prose and peripatetic storytelling combine the cadences of the Bible with an urgency reminiscent of James Baldwin in this powerfully emotional memoir." —BookPage The testament of a boy and a generation who came of age as the world came apart—a generation searching for a new way to live. Casey Gerald comes to our fractured times as a uniquely visionary witness whose life has spanned seemingly unbridgeable divides. His story begins at the end of the world: Dallas, New Year's Eve 1999, when he gathers with the congregation of his grandfather's black evangelical church to see which of them will be carried off. His beautiful, fragile mother disappears frequently and mysteriously; for a brief idyll, he and his sister live like Boxcar Children on her disability checks. When Casey--following in the footsteps of his father, a gridiron legend who literally broke his back for the team--is recruited to play football at Yale, he enters a world he's never dreamed of, the anteroom to secret societies and success on Wall Street, in Washington, and beyond. But even as he attains the inner sanctums of power, Casey sees how the world crushes those who live at its margins. He sees how the elite perpetuate the salvation stories that keep others from rising. And he sees, most painfully, how his own ascension is part of the scheme. There Will Be No Miracles Here has the arc of a classic rags-to-riches tale, but it stands the American Dream narrative on its head. If to live as we are is destroying us, it asks, what would it mean to truly live? Intense, incantatory, shot through with sly humor and quiet fury, There Will Be No Miracles Hereinspires us to question--even shatter--and reimagine our most cherished myths.

Book Description
The heat is on, and a new threat to humanity has risen . . . Nick has his driver's license and he's not afraid to use it. But turning sixteen isn't what he thought it would be. While other boys his age are worried about prom dates and applying for college, Nick is neck deep in enemies out to stop him from living another day. No longer sure if he can trust anyone, his only ally seems to be the one person he's been told will ultimately kill him. But life spent serving the undead is anything except ordinary. And those out to get him have summoned an ancient force so powerful even the gods fear it. As Nick learns to command and control the elements, the one he must master in order to combat his latest foe is the one most likely to destroy him. As the old proverb goes, fire knows nothing of mercy, and if Nick is to survive this latest round, he will have to sacrifice a part of himself. However, the best sacrifice is seldom the sanest move. Sometimes it's the one that leaves your enemies confused. And sometimes, you have to trust your enemy to save your friends. But what do you do when that enemy is you? Inferno is the fourth book in Sherrilyn Kenyon's Chronicles of Nick.

Crawling Out

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
How does a child know what is acceptable or unacceptable? Normal or abnormal? Good or bad? That children aren't slaves or women aren't beaten? How do they get out of something they don't know they're in? Crawling Out is a true account of the life of a child raised within a dysfunctional family filled with abuse, domestic violence, and alcoholism that continued well into her adult life. Author Casey Morley has spent the last twenty-five years coping with and crawling out from abuse, working hard to break the cycle to end generations of dysfunction and give her son a chance. Her story chronicles some of the abuse and follows her as she deletes what she was taught and fights to shed fifty-plus years of shame and guilt that weren't hers to carry. Often dismissed and devalued as a child, Casey defied the odds and overcame a deep sense of worthlessness, unmasked the secrecy many victims carry, and learned to forgive. Through each struggle, you'll endure Casey's pain, admire her strength and courage, and feel her mother's love as she fought to make life better for her son. Her story seeks to awaken you to the truth about children robbed of their innocence and the toll abuse takes on their lives, often setting them up to repeat history. With awareness as a society, we have the ability to end domestic violence. Crawling Out is that first step.
