Book Description
Stumbling back to his corner after barely surviving a round's worth of punishment and submission attempts from a hard-hitting opponent, Dave "Meanberg" Greenberg hears his MMA coach bellow unexpected words: "Sit down! Shut up! You're gonna win this thing!"These words echo far beyond Dave's first amateur cage fight to become a recurring theme in his challenging life. Little did he know then, but this would just be the start of fighting for his life and coming out on top. He learns that his determination and grit can overpower not only opponents in the cage, but also life-threatening car accidents, injuries that compromise his dream of fighting again, and losses that penetrate deeper than his physical wounds. What starts out as a glimpse into the life of an MMA fighter transforms into a journey of growing up and finding oneself by confronting adversity. Dave's story reminds us that we are far more capable than we give ourselves credit for.

The Protectors Trilogy: Book Two
Author: Arial Alexis
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1684704928
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
When we looked up, we saw the invisible force that held the explosion in by the definite lines that the turbulent waves of power and light were crashing against, undulating inside of its shape in slow motion, stalled by the force keeping them from expanding outwards. It seemed to float, held motionless against the backdrop of the wreckage around it. Red streaks marred the perpetual flashes of light, rising and falling when they found no crevice to break through. Then, without allowing more than a few seconds to pass from its beginning to the instant we had seen it and recognized its stillness, the walls shrunk inwards, closing in on itself until there was nothing but ash falling from where a marble of light had last hovered four feet above the ground. Shift had come back somewhere in the middle of the minute's long happening, his expression summing up what mine failed to show. "You..." He turned to Shadow, his doubt slowing down what would have been an instant jump to her side. She vacantly shook her head.

Book Description
When Will returns to Medicine River, he thinks he is simply attending his mother’s funeral. He doesn’t count on Harlen Bigbear and his unique brand of community planning. Harlen tries to sell Will on the idea of returning to Medicine River to open shop as the town’s only Native photographer. Somehow, that’s exactly what happens. Through Will’s gentle and humorous narrative, we come to know Medicine River, a small Albertan town bordering a Blackfoot reserve. And we meet its people: the basketball team; Louise Heavyman and her daughter, South Wing; Martha Oldcrow, the marriage doctor; Joe Bigbear, Harlen’s world-travelling, storytelling brother; Bertha Morley, who has a short fling with a Calgary dating service; and David Plume, who went to Wounded Knee. At the centre of it all is Harlen, advising and pestering, annoying and entertaining, gossiping and benevolently interfering in the lives of his friends and neighbours.
