Book Description
This book touches briefly on my youngest brothers' life growing up, and how we lost track of each other numerous times but always seemed to re-unite. The love we had for each other was fully tested during a period in his life where he was finally growing up and taking responsibility on. Tragic circumstances derailed his life, and because of a critical lapse in judgment on night, the lives of many were permanently changed forever. He tried to deal with the death of his girlfriend who died after an accident they had on his motorcycle, but after six weeks he have up and lost the battle and took his own life. This book is about a gut wrenching, knock down, no punches pulled fight to keep him alive, because I saw in his eyes that he no longer wanted to live with the pain from his actions. Two totally different families were involved in this tragedy, which took two young lives, and things sometimes got out of control. This book will take you on a mental ride that I would not wish on anyone. Trying to justify his suicide was impossible, but I tried. The human mind can withstand an enormous amount of pain, I found that out. It also has a breaking point, and my brother found that out as well. The aftermath of suicide especially for a loved one, is sometimes unbearable, but you have to go on. This book deals with his love, his life, the accident scene, the hospital, legal situations, his suicide, the funeral, and how some of the members of both families, were affected. I have came through this ordeal mentally intact, but I still live with the thought "could I have stopped my brother from taking his life"? I am afraid to answer that.

Pages : 327
Book Description
Part coming of age, part call to action, this fast-paced #ownvoices novel about a Deaf teenager is a unique and inspiring exploration of what it means to belong. Smart, artistic, and independent, sixteen year old Piper is tired of trying to conform. Her mom wants her to be “normal,” to pass as hearing, to get a good job. But in a time of food scarcity, environmental collapse, and political corruption, Piper has other things on her mind—like survival. Piper has always been told that she needs to compensate for her Deafness in a world made for those who can hear. But when she meets Marley, a new world opens up—one where Deafness is something to celebrate, and where resilience means taking action, building a com-munity, and believing in something better. Published to rave reviews as Future Girl in Australia (Allen & Unwin, Sept. 2020), this empowering, unforgettable story is told through a visual extravaganza of text, paint, collage, and drawings. Set in an ominously prescient near future, The Words in My Hands is very much a novel for our turbulent times.

By My Hands

Publisher: Ten Speed Press
ISBN: 1984863584
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
The internet’s favorite potter opens up about his life and craft in this inspiring, stunningly photographed ode to the beauty of small things that brighten life's daily rituals. Florian Gadsby has devoted his life to pottery, refining his technique towards the point of perfection—and as his skill has grown, he has shared his work online, inspiring millions with his meditative videos of gorgeous pottery. Based at a studio in North London, he releases three new collections per year, characterized by simple forms and sharp edges, which sell out in a matter of minutes. In By My Hands, Florian tells the story of his artistic awakening, his education in England, Ireland and Japan, and the sheer discipline which has led him to become the cultural sensation he is today. Arguing for the value in dedicating yourself to a craft, Florian weaves anecdotes about particular pots and processes into the narrative of his life. He explores what he has learned from specific pieces he was taught to create during his apprenticeships—including yunomi, a Japanese teacup, in Mashiko, Japan—and how they have informed his philosophy and approach to his work. By My Hands is a thoughtful, visual celebration of the simple things, such as a hand-thrown mug or bowl, that add meaning to our lives, as well as an inspiring testament to the power of perseverance.

Book Description
When does a game stop being a game? And what would cause a young boy to commit an act of savage violence? In Time on My Hands by Giorgio Vasta, the year is 1978, and a chilling drama is unfolding in Rome. Members of a leftist terrorist group known as the Red Brigades have kidnapped the former Italian prime minister, Aldo Moro, and are holding him in a secret prison, while broadcasting their demands to the public. Far from Rome, in Palermo, Sicily, a trio of eleven-year-old schoolboys are following Moro's abduction with intense interest. To their minds, the terrorists are warriors, striking a blow at the stifling conformity and propriety of everyday Italian life. Just like the Red Brigades, the boys give themselves code names: Nimbus, Radius, and Flight. They shave their heads, develop a secret language, and begin a life of escalating crime in worshipful imitation of their heroes. But when Moro's body is discovered in the trunk of a car, riddled with bullets, and as the stakes of the friends' games grow higher, Nimbus, the most innocent of the three, must decide just how far he is willing to go.
