Pages : 388
Book Description
The couples we love are back with more drama and twists and turns. After the death of Dezmond, Jazzie has released him and all of her past hurts-or so she thought, until an unexpected situation connects them together. Can she ever be free of him, or will he still haunt her-even after death? Jazzie battles with the decision to move on with her life, but should she wait on the man who use to love all of her, or welcome a new flame? Maine is still trying to cope with the hurt of Jazzie's betrayal and finds himself in a different bed that leads to ugly situations. Can he find someone to take Jazzie's place or will he settle down with Hollywood? Hollywood never expected to fall in love with Maine but she did, and now she wants the same from him. She feels he's overly stuck on stupid in his feelings for Jazzie, and it makes her sick to her stomach. Can she make him see that she is all the flame he needs? Tori and Truth's love for each other is stronger than ever but is Tori willing to seek help so she give him the little girl he wants? Eric and Trinity are back in Tampa for good, living under the same roof. Has Trinity matured enough to make their relationship work, or will she send Eric out to look for a new flame? The girls are taking Hot Nasty on a roller-coaster ride with all the drama in their lives, but there is some good in it. At least he finds himself talking to the Lord more often-even if he's only asking why He place him in a circle with a bunch of stuck on stupid fools. Can he live through the stress?

Survival
Author: Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré (U.S. Army, ret)
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439101817
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
It seems as though the frequency of natural disasters occurring around the nation and the world is increasing. Every day, there are new stories about earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and forest fires ravaging some part of the globe. There's also the threat of terrorist attacks at home and abroad. More than ever before, we need to think about the unthinkable and not depend on government to protect us from harm. Highly regarded as a hero during the Hurricane Katrina disaster, Gen. Russel Honoré was the right leader at the right time. Combined with his extensive and impressive military background, his rugged upbringing in rural Louisiana gave him the experience and know-how in a hurricane-prone environment to lead the Katrina recovery effort. Survival is part personal memoir and part account of the events of Hurricane Katrina, but all in service to providing a useful guide filled with practical suggestions on how each of us can effectively respond to catastrophic events. The potentially devastating effects of natural disasters and terrorist attacks should not be taken lightly, and General Honoré explains how our culture has moved far from a mind-set to protect our communities from the harm that nature and our fellow humans can do. But we can learn from our experience and history and change our culture into one of preparedness -- as long as we have the will.
