Book Description
I just did my best to remember to tell myself ‘I can and will change my life for the better,’ page 40, Long for Life. It is inevitable that, at some point, everyone will confront some sort of challenge, adversity, or obstacle in life. Survivor, Brandon Harrison, however, faced more than a challenge. His cancer diagnosis at a young age came with a slim twenty-five percent chance of surviving through childhood, only then to suffer two hemorrhagic strokes in his teens. Brandon Harrison chose to claim his life back and raise money by longboarding across Canada with his father, Michael. Tragically, Harrison’s trip was cut short when he suffered a third hemorrhagic stroke at their second Heart and Stroke fundraiser and he woke up from a coma half-paralyzed on his twentieth birthday. After learning to stand, walk, and ride again, Harrison would finish his cross-country mission on the third-year anniversary of the day he nearly lost his life from the paralyzing stroke. Long for Life is Brandon’s mind-boggling story of 28 years: a diversity of drama, suspense, adventure, and curiosity full of twists that will inspire readers aged mid-teens to sixty to live the best possible life they can. Long for Life is sure to stir readers to weather life's misfortunes by working hard, believing in themselves, and never giving up, no matter what life throws at them. To live their lives to the fullest. To know without a reasonable doubt that they, too, can overcome any and all obstacles that life may throw at them.

Book Description
We all know about the Hells Angels: toughs on Harleys terrorizing the law-abiding; wild brawls and wild sex; drugs and cruelty, beatings, and even murder. But nobody really knows what it’s like to be an Angel except an Angel. In this classic of Hells Angels literature, to be read alongside the works of Hunter S. Thompson and Sonny Barger, George Wethern—for many years the vice president of the Oakland Chapter—tells it like it is. Until he found himself in reluctant service to the courts, Wethern was the quintessential Angel. One of the West Coast’s top drug dealers, he was a man who loved bikes, fights, women, and drugs; a man who knew the deepest secrets of Angel life. Arrested, strung out, in despair, he bought a precarious freedom by testifying in major trials against Angels members—and then disappeared into the witness protection program. A Wayward Angel is a powerful book, a not-for-the-squeamish portrait of the drug scene and the alienation from modern life in late-twentieth-century California. We witness killings, million-dollar drug deals, and orgy-laced “picnics.” This is a story uniquely American. And it is a terrifying tale—because it’s real.

Book Description
A fascinating look at compulsive hoarding by a woman whose mother suffers from the disease. To be the child of a compulsive hoarder is to live in a permanent state of unease. Because if my mother is one of those crazy junk-house people, then what does that make me? When her divorced mother was diagnosed with cancer, New York City writer Jessie Sholl returned to her hometown of Minneapolis to help her prepare for her upcoming surgery and get her affairs in order. While a daunting task for any adult dealing with an aging parent, it’s compounded for Sholl by one lifelong, complex, and confounding truth: her mother is a compulsive hoarder. Dirty Secret is a daughter’s powerful memoir of confronting her mother’s disorder, of searching for the normalcy that was never hers as a child, and, finally, cleaning out the clutter of her mother’s home in the hopes of salvaging the true heart of their relationship—before it’s too late. Growing up, young Jessie knew her mother wasn’t like other mothers: chronically disorganized, she might forgo picking Jessie up from kindergarten to spend the afternoon thrift store shopping. Now, tracing the downward spiral in her mother’s hoarding behavior to the death of a long-time boyfriend, she bravely wades into a pathological sea of stuff: broken appliances, moldy cowboy boots, twenty identical pairs of graying bargain-bin sneakers, abandoned arts and crafts, newspapers, magazines, a dresser drawer crammed with discarded eyeglasses, shovelfuls of junk mail . . . the things that become a hoarder’s “treasures.” With candor, wit, and not a drop of sentimentality, Jessie Sholl explores the many personal and psychological ramifications of hoarding while telling an unforgettable mother-daughter tale.
