In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards.

Scumbag Rehab
Author: Corey Croft
Publisher: Fly Pelican Press
ISBN: 199907307X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
You hear all kinds of stories in a bar. All kinds of characters with all kinds of experiences. Booze is a mighty fuel. It brings out the best in some and the worst in every one else. If you post up on a barstool long enough, you might hear someone’s entire life story, whether you asked for it or not. If that barstool happens to be plugged into the wood at the Knowlton Tavern, then the story you would be hearing might belong to James ‘Feb’ February. Only at a dive bar full of the most desperate, strange societal castaways could an individual such as him share a story like his. As a former cop, convict, drug dealer, drug addict, an army veteran, a once loving father and husband, and recently homeless, Feb has a lot of stories. Upon the insistence of the bartender, Sofia, he revisits his earliest memories: A latchkey kid with a prostitute mother in a destitute neighbourhood. Seeing little future in education and wanting better, Feb becomes an errand boy for the D’Antonio crime family. Though young, and an outsider, he is able to climb the ranks with the help of his friend Mario, until a botched train robbery changes everything. The mob holds him responsible. His punishment is swift. Feb is allowed to live, but is sent to war with a false identity in the place of a made-man’s son. At 17 years old, he is consumed by one thought: revenge. It does not go away. It does not subside. While recounting his tale, decades later, the first moment for vengeance presents itself. A chance to right one of the countless wrongs in his life and cross out one of the many names on his list. Is it possible to feel closure in a life that one has never felt in control of, ever? Feb swears that he is committed to changing for the better. His decisions and actions will demonstrate how far he has evolved. Is a rehabbing scumbag allowed to relapse? Can he recover if he slips just one time or will it open the floodgates?
