Book Description
On the day of Ling Xi's wedding, Ye Yao had died miserably in his home. Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes and went back to the year she was 18, she still hadn't fallen in love with Ling Xi. This is really ... Great. She could finally take back everything that belonged to her and take back the Ye Family without worrying about anyone else. She could unrestrainedly take revenge on those dregs that had hurt her, become the most dazzling star, then turn to that handsome little fresh meat that flew into the sky and escaped into the ground, and talk about a sweet love life and death that would never change. "You want to fall in love with Fresh Meat, huh?" Ye Jiayao's mouth was dry from being slammed into the wall by a man. The man's voice was deep and sexy, full of danger. "You can't look for anyone else except me." In his previous life, there were two things that Ye Yao was most afraid of. One was Ling Tingxiao, and the other was Ling Tingxiao after dark. In this life, she ... Still scared.

Book Description
Jack Sutherland, the narrator and protagonist of this memoir has, you might say, led a charmed life in the face of seeming damnation. A confirmed alcoholic in his early teens, by his twenties he was PA and bodyguard to the Hollywood stars most notably Michael Stipe, Ru Paul and Mickey Rourke. His work took him to exotic destinations around the world and bizarre encounters and requests. It also led him back to a smorgasbord of lethal addictions: alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy and perhaps most damaging of all crystal meth and the crazed chem sex that characterises its use. On the shores of death's coastline, a nine stone skeleton in a frame that once boasted the shape and tone of a bodybuilder, Jack is saved. By his father, one of the literary world's most esteemed personalities: John Sutherland.A son's memoir told through the prism and prose of a father will surely take its place among the classics of contemporary addiction and recovery stories like A Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man and Another Bullshit Night in Suck City. Stars, Cars & Crystal Meth lifts the lid on the shadow world of the Hollywood PA with grim but ultimately inspiring honesty.

Parallel Universes
Author: David B. Bohl
Publisher: Henschelhaus Publishing, Incorporated
ISBN: 9781595985781
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
In this poignant and powerful memoir, David B. Bohl reveals the inner turmoil and broad spectrum of warring emotions--shame, anger, triumph, shyness, pride--he experienced growing up as a "relinquished" boy. Adopted at birth by a prosperous family, Bohl battled throughout his earlier years to keep up a good front and surpass expectations as he tried desperately to fit in. An over-achiever at everything he undertook, whether in sailing, academics, or life as a trader on the Chicago Exchange floor, he continued his search for happiness, often finding it in a bottle or pill, and ultimately becoming a raging and wealthy alcoholic. Not until David marries and has children of his own does he feel compelled to search for his birth parents to discover if genetics played a role in the well-being of his offspring. "Baby Boy Bender," as he was labeled in the adoption papers, had been born to a red-haired co-ed who struggled with alcoholism and an athlete who later died of a brain tumor. After several severe seizures and frequent blackouts, it was time to make a drastic change and admit his addiction. Raised with no religious teachings, David struggled with traditional recovery fellowships and sought out secular supports, where he finally fit in. This support allowed him to learn the stark facts about mental health and addiction, as well as the monumental issues many "relinquishees" need to overcome to find peace and a quality of life they deserve.
