Survived To Tell About It
Author: Bill Marshall
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 1478735996
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Survived To Tell About It is based on the true-life experiences of Bill Marshall. It’s the story of a coal miner who, after escaping death in a collapsed mine, unwittingly takes a job as a doorman at a nightclub. Little did he know that the primary function of the job was to remove undesirables from the club, in any way possible! Bill disliked violence and, in most cases, removed unruly customers from the club without resorting to physical force. However, on those occasions when he couldn't avoid it, Bill showed he was more than capable of handling any trouble that came his way. The glitz and glamour of the industry, not to mention the appeal of wearing an evening suit to work, was like a powerful drug to Bill. When he finally grew tired of the seedy side of the nightclub business, Bill set off on an incredible odyssey that took him to the Middle East. Not surprisingly, more improbable adventures followed. As one of Bill’s friends once told him, “You’re what every boy wants to be when he’s growing up and what every man wishes he had been when he’s grown old.”

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
From New York Times bestseller Kody Keplinger comes an astonishing and thought-provoking exploration of the aftermath of tragedy, the power of narrative, and how we remember what we've lost. It's been three years since the Virgil County High School Massacre. Three years since my best friend, Sarah, was killed in a bathroom stall during the mass shooting. Everyone knows Sarah's story--that she died proclaiming her faith. But it's not true. I know because I was with her when she died. I didn't say anything then, and people got hurt because of it. Now Sarah's parents are publishing a book about her, so this might be my last chance to set the record straight . . . but I'm not the only survivor with a story to tell about what did--and didn't--happen that day. Except Sarah's martyrdom is important to a lot of people, people who don't take kindly to what I'm trying to do. And the more I learn, the less certain I am about what's right. I don't know what will be worse: the guilt of staying silent or the consequences of speaking up . . .
