Adrenaline Junkie【電子書籍】[ Les Edgerton ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Adrenaline Junkie【電子書籍】[ Les Edgerton ]

<p>Adrenaline Junkie is more than a renowned, multi-award-winning author entertaining with his life history. Les Edgerton understands that backstory matters. It influences the present. So he journeyed through his past seeking answers for why he was the way he was. Seeking answers for his thrill-seeking, devil-may-care, often self-destructive, behaviors. Seeking a sense of personal peace.</p> <p>Why was he compelled to be the best he could be in all his endeavorsーlegal or otherwise. What drove him to excel, then flee success, only to strive for supremacy in another field?</p> <p>Adrenaline Junkie holds the answers. With nothing held back. With his life-saving humor, an indomitable spirit, and a fierce courage to expose the ugly and painful. Like the tough, raw, vulnerable characters Les writes about in his short stories and novels, he exposes us to a man fighting against family, society, and his own sense of injustice. Fighting for a momentーregardless of how fleetingーto feel in control of his life. And, as uncomfortable at times as Les’s life adventure may be for us to witness, we come away grateful he took us with him.</p> <p>So settle back. Meet a real-life, twenty-first-century Renaissance man. A real-life adrenaline junkie.</p> <p>Praise for ADRENALINE JUNKIE:</p> <p>“Adrenaline Junkie is a raw and harrowing memoir that brilliantly combines great sensitivity with brutal honesty. Les Edgerton is never afraid to reveal his vulnerabilityーand culpabilityーas he takes us on a head-spinning ride through the bizarre and terrifying experiences in a life that was often defined by violence. The result is a breathtaking page-turner that will keep readers hooked from page one and will never let them go.” ーLisa Lieberman Doctor, former Warner Bros. prodco president, president of Robin Williams prodco, Blue Wolf Productions</p> <p>“Filled with stories of knifings, armed robberies, brutal prison fights, and Charles Manson (yes, that Charles Manson!), Edgerton proves that life can be stranger (and certainly more violent) than fiction. But Edgerton isn’t just a guy with a tough story to tell. He’s a poet who startles you with sentences both stark and darkly beautiful. An astonishing accomplishment.” ーJon Bassoff, author of Corrosion</p> <p>“Adrenaline Junkie is the compelling, beautifully written story of an extraordinary man who has lived on both sides of the tracks. Les Edgerton achieves a sort of sainthood among sinners, an apotheosis of rebellion and force, much like Harcamone at Fontevrault, or a hero in a Johnny Cash song, a huge, Promethean work of major significance and scale.” ーRichard Godwin, critically acclaimed author</p> <p>“Edgerton's prose hits with the force of a hammerーas does his recollection of an America, both deeply flawed and wonderful, that is now more important than ever to keep in our sights. Adrenaline Junkie makes sense of one man's life while showing us all new aspects of our own.” ーJenny Milchman, USA Today bestselling and Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author of Cover of Snow and Wicked River</p> <p>“No one can accuse Les of being a ‘crime tourist’. He’s lived the life, done the bird, and now he’s written the book. Adrenaline Junkie should be on any prospective (or established) crime writer’s list. An entertaining, darkly-rendered tale of one man’s adventures in the very belly of the beast.” ーTony Black, author of Her Cold Eyes</p> <p>“Sometimes shocking, often poignant, occasionally distasteful, frequently funny, and always brutally honest, Adrenaline Junkie tells the story of one man’s harrowing yet ultimately successful quest for redemption. Written with razor-sharp clarity, Edgerton’s memoir is a triumph.” ーRobert Rotstein, author of We, the Jury</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Science of Life and Evolution【電子書籍】[ John Adrian LeRoy ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】The Science of Life and Evolution【電子書籍】[ John Adrian LeRoy ]

<p>This book talks about the scientific processes involved with the matter of our being and how we are evolved, as are all species when their DNA molecules react to the effects of their incoming environment and are dealt with. Some billions of years ago, DNA molecules not only came into being in the right conditionsincluding the presence of five elements (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, and phosphorous) and a moist environment when an enzyme-assisted chemical process resulted in them becoming established, but additionally, they were activated by the damaging effects of incoming environmental-related energy pulses causing a vibrational response to occur. (The physical phenomenon of vibration and resonance is the most common in the universe.) The DNA molecules suffered controlled physical damage during this process, but by a hit-and-miss replacement procedure, they were and are adapted by way of adjustments to the individual coding of the DNA nucleotide pairs making up the molecule, which eventually becomes part of the gene, resulting in an electrical-generation force-field activated output (protein, hormones, etc.) being initiated from the cells that resulted in the protection of the DNA molecules from the incoming environmental energy pulse impacts but also resulted in these protective outputs from the cells becoming the physical attributes of the species that allow it, the specimen, to survive in its particular environment. Eukaryotic, multicell species developed when a single cell, prokaryotic species invaded another that had been invaded by a single mitochondria cell that was adept at reducing sugar molecules and releasing energy pulses and energy that was available for the combined cells utilisation. These combined cells with energy pulses and energy available twenty-four hours a day for processes then took off. With an understanding of physics, electrical engineering, etc., it became possible to establish the functioning of cells, differentiation of cells, etc., and with that the causes of genetic problems such as cancer development, MS, diabetes, etc. A similar record-based process results in the brain glia cells utilising junk DNA nucleotide pairs to guide mental reactions, leading to survival in the environment. The question then is we survive but what are we?</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Going home to the town from which he escaped under threats of death two decades before involves him in uncovering a brutal secret his father had kept since Davids childhood, a time when the earliest days of the Civil Rights Movement began to expose the hatreds and ancient bigotries that were still seething beneath the bucolic crust of Blossom, like some malevolent force focused on David Early, who as a young student was the first white person in the town to march with blacks in protest. Blossom was just another of those junk-cluttered, ramshackle, un-consciously ugly, roadside hamlets lost deep within the evergreen forests of southern Arkansas like atolls in a great green sea, islands in the pines, one of those curious, mysterious southern towns that appear and disappear around curves in washboard roads like dead skunks in ditches. But it is only there that David can find redemption for mistakes he never knew he made.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Holiday Treats A Few Short Stories【電子書籍】[ M J Lumbert ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Holiday Treats A Few Short Stories【電子書籍】[ M J Lumbert ]

<p>WINTER SOLSTICE Some folks see the past as just that, the past. Some see it as the future; history repeats itself, that’s the saying. Then there are those who feel history is LIFE… the blood that made the past and flows through the present and will become the future. Which of these you are, depends on what speaks to you, what speaks to your soul? Do you treasure the items of your ancestors? Do you just consider them junk? Or are you somewhere in the middle? How we feel about the past is important to our future, but we can’t allow it to rule our future. We have to live and love, grow and evolve. Our existence is an ever changing process of surviving and moving forward into the next generation. CHRISTMAS SWEETS Into each one’s life a varying amount of bad luck must fall. There will be a point in time that you’ll need the help of another and if you’ve been pleasant and not too bitchy, you could be surprised. A close group of friends wants to allow a new member into their circle, with the exception of one. What will it take to change the opposing member’s mind? Is there such a thing as too many friends? NEW YEARS PROMISES Teachers are said to have hearts of gold. They go above and beyond for their students; because often they spend more time with the kids then the parents are able to. When a new child enters Tessa Hudson’s first grade class, she does what’s needed to help the new child acclimate. When Tessa meets this new child’s mother, she has more questions than answers, but is willing to put in the extra time needed to get those answers as well. These three couples face issues found in all of us. They are regular women doing what they enjoy in the work force and like the rest of us, they want to find love for themselves. That in itself is not always an easy task. So join in their quest for love and maybe you will see a bit of yourself in one of them.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Flying Man Hugo Junkers and the Dream of Aviation【電子書籍】[ Richard Byers ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Flying Man Hugo Junkers and the Dream of Aviation【電子書籍】[ Richard Byers ]

<p>Hugo Junkers (1859?1935) was a German engineer and aircraft designer generally credited as the pioneer of all-metal airplanes. His company, Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke AG, more commonly referred to simply as “Junkers,” became a major German aircraft manufacturer based in Dessau. From humble beginnings producing boilers and radiators, by World War II the company was producing some of the most successful Luftwaffe planes, including the Ju 88, the primary bomber of the German air force.</p> <p>Hugo Junkers himself, however, was a socialist pacifist who saw aviation as a way to unify the world. Soon after the Nazi party came to power in 1933, Junkers was forced to surrender his patents, found his holdings seized by the state, and was placed under house arrest. He died in 1935, a “tortured genius” exiled from his life’s work but, perhaps fortunately, spared from seeing his inventions destructively unleashed across Europe.</p> <p>No biography of Junkers has been published to date. Author Richard Byers now fills that void with this compelling narrative of a man and his machines. <em>Flying Man</em> is a contribution not only to the history of aviation but also adds to our understanding of the consolidation of power in Germany’s march toward World War II.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Move To Fire: A Family's Tragedy, A Lone Attorney, And A Teenager's Victory Over A Corrupt Gunmaker【電子書籍】[ Mike Harkins ]

<p>From the foreword of Move To Fire -- "...no government entity can force a gun manufacturer to recall a defective gun... an unethical gun manufacturer could choose to create and sell a gun it knew to be defective, and no entity could stop that from happening." "That happened."<br /> A decade after seven-year-old Brandon Maxfield was paralyzed in an accidental shooting by a defective gun, he and his attorney accomplished what the government couldn't do, and the firearms industry and gun safety groups failed to do - hold the defective gun’s manufacturer accountable for creating millions of low quality, dangerous guns so connected to tragedy that they were known as junk guns. When the gunmaker filed bankruptcy to avoid paying his half of a historic $50,000,000 product liability award to Brandon, then schemed to resurrect the company, the teen launched a campaign to acquire the company himself and stop it from producing thousands more defective guns. Brandon’s and attorney Richard Ruggieri’s efforts attracted national support, and derision, as their story became international news.<br /> Michael W. Harkins’ compelling narrative is an illuminating account of the people and events that captivated the world’s leading media outlets in nine countries, and also reveals why millions of defectively designed guns like the one that almost killed Brandon Maxfield are still on the streets.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Seven Cs of Consulting, The【電子書籍】[ Mick Cope ]

<p>The definition of a consultant is someone who facilitates organisational change and provides expertise on technical, functional and business topics during development or implementation. In other words a consultant is someone who helps others to change.</p> <p>However, change isn’t such an easy target to achieve. Research shows that the vast majority of change programmes fail. On a daily basis we hear about projects that are delayed, cancelled, over budget or boycotted by the end user. The problem is that we can never <strong>force</strong> people to change - remember the backlash against Jamie Oliver’s healthy school meals campaign where parents handed junk food to their children through school fences. The key to successful change is to engage with the end user and help them <strong>want</strong> to change.</p> <p><em>The Seven Cs of Consulting</em> offers a consistent and collaborative language that helps both consultant and client deliver value through sustainable change. Based around the author’s highly successful 7Cs model (Client, Clarify, Create, Change, Confirm, Continue, Close) this approach is simple and accessible but firmly grounded in research and real life experience.</p> <p>The 7Cs approach opens up the complexity of sustainable change to the consultant and client and helps them explore- and then avoid - the real issues that cause change to fail within a more professional and trusting relationship.</p> <p><strong>The full text downloaded to your computer</strong></p> <p>With eBooks you can:</p> <ul> <li>search for key concepts, words and phrases</li> <li>make highlights and notes as you study</li> <li>share your notes with friends</li> </ul> <p><strong>eBooks</strong> are downloaded to your computer and accessible either offline through the Bookshelf (available as a free download), available online and also via the iPad and Android apps.</p> <p>Upon purchase, you'll gain instant access to this eBook.</p> <p><strong>Time limit</strong></p> <p>The <strong>eBooks</strong> products do not have an expiry date.

<p>Slot Machine Junkie: How to Win at Slots Consistently, covers betting concepts and spending habits that makes sense when you apply them in your betting sessions. The concepts covered in this book truly encourages you to apply your common sense in the decision making process that precedes slots betting. When you learn to apply common sense, you will feel confident regardless of whether you are dealing with an expected or unexpected situation. You can enjoy the roller coaster playing experience when you play with your own strategy, driven by free will and customized betting decisions, as opposed to feeling restricted with defense mechanisms, when you are applying someone else’s betting strategy. No matter how many betting systems you learn, how many betting plans you draft, sometimes it becomes impossible to control the results, and the only thing that can come for rescue is plain common sense, and of course, right application sense. Without common sense, you can clearly lose your head to uncertainty. Right application sense does not happen in a day, rather it improves everyday as you deal with new gaming situations. With so much of information available everywhere, it is not difficult to find tips, strategies, betting systems and rules everywhere. You can find a lot of ideas in blogs, articles, newsletters and all of them are being made available to you at breakneck speed and you are left with too much of information to be able to make a workable decision. You should develop the attitude to deal with just what you can practically handle, and wherever you can, as opposed to giving way to casino marketing tricks, where you force yourself to bet more than what you really are capable of handling. When you do things beyond your feasibility, you will not only lose money, but you will not enjoy the games either. Real slots’ spirit is about the gaming excitement. You do not want to get greedy, playing more than what you can morally afford to be doing. You need not commit yourself to debilitating situations where you engage in high risk betting, no matter how big the rewards are. You can simply decide to do what is truly comfortable for your play. When you learn to apply practical logics in gaming you will dare to walk away from several unworthy gaming situations. Saying “no” to specific opportunities in gaming is as well an important discipline in being a better player. The real challenge is not about gathering facts, it is about applying them in an appropriate way in the right gaming situation. When you apply your own common sense, while you make every bet, by considering your money goals, bet size, machine type, and other special features, you will realize that your strategies are getting to be better each time. Your personal strategies that are well thought will be as better as the best betting systems in the world. When you complete reading this book, you will understand your own ability to think through betting moments to eventually play a profitable betting session on your own. When you play your bets in terms of your own ability and experiences while taking consistent inspiration from gaming gurus, you will not only learn things correctly, but you will as well feel inspired in the right way to apply the right betting formula to deal with an entirely new betting situation. So, how do you apply your common sense, after you have decided to fight against the odds with a “So be it...” attitude. ? How do you replace your expectations with plans? ? How do you deal with different possibilities? ? How do you avoid getting lost in positive and negative feelings? ? How do you improve your coping and adaptive skills? ? How do you focus on what you can control at every point in time? ? What are the key factors you have to consider to improve your mindfulness while at play? This book provides you with essential info that will help you play your slots session like a pro. Enjoy every slots game and start winning!</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Only War We've Got【電子書籍】[ Daniel Ford ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】The Only War We've Got【電子書籍】[ Daniel Ford ]

<p>It's the summer of 1964. The bush hat, and not the steel helmet, is the favored headgear of the sixteen thousand American advisors in South Vietnam. They love their work, and they're very good at it. How can they possibly fail? Covering their war are a handful of foreign reporters, including novelist Daniel Ford. Armed with a camera and a notebook, he wanders the country on foot and by military transport--helicopter, jeep, landing craft, junk, armored personnel carrier, and an Air Force flare ship--from the Mekong Delta to the Central Highlands. Once or twice a week, or whenever he is reunited with his Hermes portable, he types up an account of what he has seen and done. Here is that journal, a generation after it was written. It is a freeze-frame picture of the Vietnam War before it became a quagmire. "How good-hearted we were!" Ford says of himself and the men he met in his travels. "And how badly it all turned out." Included is the trek to an abandoned French garrison that became the site of Ford's novel <em>Incident at Muc Wa</em> and the acclaimed Burt Lancaster film <em>Go Tell the Spartans</em>. Updated with photographs, 2021.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Rhythm of the Road A Novel【電子書籍】[ Albyn Leah Hall ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】The Rhythm of the Road A Novel【電子書籍】[ Albyn Leah Hall ]

<p><em>The mesmerizing debut novel about driving trucks, loving music, and growing up.</em></p> <p>A truck driver's daughter who grows up in the front seat of her father's truck, Jo shares her father's love of country music, junk food, and the open highway. Jo's life is a perfect slice of Americana, except that their "open road" is in England, and her father--the gentle, melancholy Bobby Pickering--is from Northern Ireland. The only truly American thing about Jo is her mother, whom she has never met.</p> <p>Jo is twelve when she and Bobby pick up hitchhiker Cosima Stewart, an American country singer whose band is touring England. They become dedicated fans, and Cosima, touched by the unlikely duo, comes to regard Jo with an indulgent, even sisterly, eye.</p> <p>But when Jo is sixteen, Bobby sinks into serious despair and Jo seeks refuge in Cosima and the band. When Bobby disappears, Jo's adoration becomes obsessive as she follows her idol all to the way to California. Here, in the sweltering Mohave Desert and alone for the first time, Jo must face the painful truths of her own life, the mother she has never known, and the father she can't force from her mind. With shades of Zadie Smith and Mark Haddon, Albyn Leah Hall's powerful debut is a page-turning study of what frightens us about one another and ourselves; of how we run away and what we can't, ultimately, escape from.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Annihilation【電子書籍】[ Isabel Ostrander ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Annihilation【電子書籍】[ Isabel Ostrander ]

<p>A seven-fifty derby, new only that afternoon and destined already to be reblocked! Ex-roundsman Timothy McCarty, whose complete transition to civilian attire was still so recent as to be a source of satisfaction to himself and of despair to his tailor and haberdasher, shrugged his broad shoulders and trudged sturdily along in the teeming downpour. A walk he had come out for, to clear his head of all that psycho-junk he’d been reading, and a walk he would have, but he could think of a place the devil could take this rain to, where it would be better appreciated! Rain dripped down upon a sodden wisp of tobacco which hung dejectedly from beneath his mustache, and muddy streams spurted up almost to his knees with every step. It was a mean district, a neighborhood of broken, narrow sidewalks, dilapidated tenements and squalid wooden shacks, which became more squalid as McCarty neared the river, although here great warehouses loomed against the lesser darkness of the night sky. It was barely nine o’clock but there was scarcely a light in the streets, except where irregularly spaced street lamps emitted a blurred glimmer which emphasized rather than dispelled the murky gloom, yet McCarty strode on with the unconcern of one treading a once-familiar precinct. He was not the only pedestrian abroad in the late September storm. Under the glow of a lamp he presently descried a dark figure proceeding also in the direction of the waterfront, and insensibly he quickened his own steps. Some peculiarity in the latter’s gait had aroused that suspicion, more than mere curiosity, that had served him so well in the old days on the Force. The man was lurching along at an unsteady pace, now breaking into a shambling trot for a few steps, now pulling up short, only to dive forward once more, reeling through the driving sheets of rain. McCarty followed closely. He had almost overtaken the man when a tall, bluecoated figure stepped suddenly from the shelter of a doorway and barred his progress.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The ideas of privacy are becoming more important and less interesting to many people all at the same time and this story shows where we may end up, with only a few liberties taken to make the story more interesting." ? Elton Gahr, Helium.com</p> <p>On "My Cannibal Lover": "...(the author) makes a favorableーand sympatheticーcase for cannibalism."ーMike Resnick</p> <p>About the Author</p> <p>Robert T.

Waiting for Mahood【電子書籍】[ Thomas M. Kelly ]

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Waiting for Mahood【電子書籍】[ Thomas M. Kelly ]

<p>Seth Reynolds and his Columbia University colleague friend, Jeffery Weymuth, met when they began picketing their bank complaining about the exorbitant interest rate charged for their loans. The bank complained to the city...'n' the city forced them to picket fifty feet away from the bank entrance. They were"forced" to occupy the park. Jeff knocked up his high school sweetheart when she came to town to visit. Then he moved back to Sacramento to get married. Actually she begged him to move back home. Told him that her daddy had a good, well paying job waiting for him: Heating and air conditioning sales. Begging didn't work, so she got herself pregnant. Now we have at least four hundred occupy-ers. I have a Vietnamese family who are victims of BP, the banks foreclosure of their house and repossession of their shrimp boat. Jasmine is a Native American leading the Native's cause to 'De-colonize" America. That guy sprawled on the ground over there is a staunch Republican, highly decorated twenty-five year veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He lost his "junk" on patrol in a back alley of Kabul! He also lost the use of a leg! He's trying to set up a Veteran's Consul for me to direct homeless vets. That guy over there is a veteran of the War in Afghanistan, an Army Ranger. He's setting up a computer station to help people find jobs. He has no physical wounds, but he's a victim of PTSD. There are unemployed men and women here. There are under-employed men and women, like me, who have uber degrees, but are brewing four and five dollar coffees or slingin' hamburgers. Where's the fairness there? See that woman over there pulling that little red wagon? She has two degrees from Harvard: law and business. She's delivering sandwiches for Hymie's, across the street for minimum wage and tips, when she can get them from people with no or low income jobs. We've defied the mayor's order to dismantle and vacate the park. The retailers downtown have complained that it is a health hazard. Our port-a-potties are not sufficient, they say. The most vocal is a local medical marijuana retailer. Go figure! There are rumors that the mayor is organizing the police, the sheriffs and the highway patrol, local and federal drug enforcement, whatever, to invade the park and remove us with force using tear gas, beanbag rounds, pepper spray and flash-bang grenades. But we are and remain a peaceful occupy. We'll see.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>Cora Sledge is horrified when her children, who doubt her ability to take care of herself, plot to remove her from her home.</strong></p> <p>So what if her house is in shambles? Who cares when she last changed her clothes? If an eighty-two-year-old widow wants to live on junk food, pills, and cigarettes, hasn’t she earned the right? When her kids force her into The Palisades, an assisted living facility, Cora takes to her bed, planning to die as soon as possible. But life isn’t finished with her yet, not by a long shot.</p> <p>Deciding that truth is the best revenge, Cora begins to write a tell-all journal that reveals once and for all the secret she has guarded since she was a young woman. In entries that are profane, profound, and gossipy, she chronicles her childhood in rural Missouri, her shotgun wedding, and the terrible event that changed the course of her life.</p> <p>Intermingled with her reminiscences is an account of the day-to-day dramas at The Palisadesーher budding romance with a suave new resident, feuds with her tablemates, her rollicking camaraderie with the man who oversees her health care, and the sinister cloud of suspicion that descends as a series of petty crimes sets everyone on edge. The story builds to a powerful climax as Cora’s revelations about her past mesh with the unraveling intrigue in the present.</p> <p>Cora is by turns outrageous, irreverent, and wickedly funny. Despite a life with more than its share of disappointment and struggle, she refuses to go gently into her twilight years, remaining intensely curious, disinclined to play it safe, and willing to start over.</p> <p><em>Breaking Out of Bedlam</em> captures the loneliness and secrets that lurk within families, the hardscrabble reality facing women with limited resources, and the resilience of a woman who survives, despite all the odds, through an unlikely combination of passion, humor, and faith.</p> <p><strong>“Tough-edged Cora Sledge, 82, is a reluctant resident of The Palisades nursing homeーa ‘prison [where] your only crime is you lived too long.’ Her tell-all journal, recounting dramas at the home (thefts, love affairs, rivalries) and a tragedy buried in her past, is profane, harrowing, comicalーand Cora’s voice is spot-on.”ー<em>AARP</em> Magazine</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
