Book excerpt: Has someone hurt you? Do you feel rejected, even abandoned? Does it seem as if you don’t matter? Well, join the club. Though everyone wants to belong somewhere, there is one club no one ever wants to join. The members, filled with doubts and questions about themselves, wonder if they’re the only ones. Some even struggle with thoughts of suicide. If you find yourself in this club the good news is you’re not alone. In Everything’s Fine author Dean Sikes tells true stories from real teens just like you and your friends who have courageously shared their personal doubts, questions, and struggles with him. Their stories offer insights and messages of hope when you feel things, such as there’s always so much pressure to perform and measure up; I really don’t like the way I look; I probably deserved what they did to me because I’m so worthless; or nobody really cares about me or what happens to me. These stories also show how it’s possible to turn your pain into purpose, your anger into passion, your rejection into acceptance, and to see how forgiveness leads to freedom. And they help you discover, or rediscover, how much God really loves you. Read these riveting stories and embrace this truth: You were created on purpose, with purpose, for a purpose. You matter!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Does love conquer all? Does it now? Did it ever? These are questions Cecilia Rabess asks in her nimble, discerning debut…The ending of Everything’s Fine is one of the best I’ve read in years.” —The New York Times A painfully funny, painfully real love story for our time that doesn’t just ask will they, but…should they? Jess is a senior in college, ambitious but aimless, when she meets Josh. He’s a privileged preppy in chinos, ready to inherit the world. She’s not expecting to inherit anything. A year later, they’re both working at the same investment bank. And when Jess finds herself the sole Black woman on the floor, overlooked and underestimated, Josh shows up for her in surprising—if imperfect—ways. Before long, an unlikely friendship forms, tinged with undeniable chemistry. It gradually, and then suddenly, turns into an electrifying romance that shocks them both. Despite their differences, the force of their attraction propels the relationship forward. But as the cultural and political landscape shifts underneath them, Jess is forced to consider if their disagreements run deeper than she can bear, what she’s willing to compromise for love, and whether, in fact, everything’s fine. A stunning debut about “a love affair that turns inferno” (People), that is “extraordinarily brave…funny as hell,” (Zakiya Dalilah Harris) Cecilia Rabess’s Everything’s Fine is an incisive and moving portrait of a young woman who is just beginning to discover who she is and who she has the right to be. It is also a “subtle, ironic, wise, state-of-the-nation novel” (Nick Hornby) that asks big questions about the way we live now and “whether our choices stop and end with us” (The New York Times).

Download or read book Postal Indiscretions written by Tadeusz Borowski and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2007-06-06 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a brief life deeply and traumatically disrupted by two years in concentration camps as a political prisoner, Tadeusz Borowski (1922-1951) was tragically destined to become one of the most eloquent witnesses to the Holocaust in Poland. His recollections and stories, the most famous of which is This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen, document in stark historical, literary, and personal terms the experience of the camps and its cost to humanity. The correspondence in this volume expands on the insights of Borowski's published work and extends to the less-documented aftermath of the Holocaust in postwar Poland and East Germany. The volume opens with Borowski's letter to his mother from Pawiak Prison the day after his arrest and closes with an unsigned telegram informing his parents of his suicide. This English edition also contains new material in the form of additional letters from the private collection of the family of Anatol Girs.Illustrated throughout with photographs and reproductions, the letters to and from family members, friends, and literary figures offer an indispensable picture of the world in the wake of the Nazis - and of the indelible stain that experience left upon the literature, politics, and life of Eastern Europe, in particular upon one gifted and doomed writer.
