"I'm pregnant with your child, Ryan," she scoffs, "you'll never get out of this."

"Strange as it seems, Ryan," Shirley rebuked "things do happen. You're obligated now, and I'm not sorry."

For six weeks Shirley's monthly cycle was off-key, pregnancy was obvious, and to hold the one that doesn't love her, the affair becomes a garish weapon. Threatening scandal, Shirley becomes raspy, and realizing the height of disgrace to his family, Ryan decides to sacrifice himself. Marriage is not what he wants, but knowing Shirley and her irresponsible disposition, he agrees to worthless nuptials.

Shirley becomes irate, anger boils, and for revenge, she leaves the man she loves and the child she doesn't want. Seven years later, the drifter comes home. Ryan fiercely, resents her, and forcing her to leave, she blurts the granddaddy of all lies.

To cut dead means to refuse to acknowledge another with the intent to punish. Gregory Ellison says that this is the plight of African American young men.They are stigmatized with limited opportunity for education and disproportionate incarceration. At the same time, they are often resistant to help from social institutions including the church. They are mute and invisible to society but also in their inward being. Their voice and physical selves are not acknowledged, leaving them ripe for hopelessness and volatility. If the need is so great yet the desire for help wanes, where is the remedy? Healing can begin by reframing the problem. While cutting someone dead is destructive, it can also serve to prune and repot a disfigured being giving new possibilities for life.In this provocative book, Ellison shows how caregivers can sow seeds of life, and nurturewith guidance, admonition, training, and support in order to help create a community of reliable others serve as extended family.

Letters to Cody is a self-improvement guide book. The intent of this informational guide is to point out valuable; and moral subjects along with the wisdom of God, the Proverbs of Solomon, and other authors much greater than myself, whom I have learned from. I have heard it said that "experience is the greatest teacher, but it need not be your own experience." My hopes are to pass on what I believe are the smartest things that I have ever learned, to my Grandson. May this book be of value to others who also share my philosophy. Thank you.

ME is the most common cause of long-term absence from school. A mild case causes regular absences from education, social life and sport, a severe case leaves a young person housebound or bedbound for years. So why is ME surrounded by a lack of understanding, even within the medical professions? During the three years when her teenage son Chris could not go to school, Merryn Fergusson kept a diary - which here becomes the remarkable and candid story of ME as seen through Chris's eyes and through the experiences of his mother, family and friends. The book also traces the history of ME from the 1930s and the emergence of the medical controversy over CFS/ME. It is a controversy which baffles sufferers and their carers, the tragic consequences of which can be the forcible removal of young people from their homes and families.
