Book Description
A poignant and compelling story of extreme child abuse, betrayal, adolescent trauma, and an early life spent in a never-ending flux of changing environments and survival. Born in the small town of Espanola, New Mexico—Robert had the furthest thing from a happy childhood. He lived with Lucinda, his mentally unstable and highly abusive mother, and his younger siblings. He also had another sister who was given up for adoption by his mother, resulting from his mother's profligate promiscuity with the several men that caught her fancy. Enduring his narcissistic mother's abuse and constant relocation for most of his childhood and early teenage years, Robert found comfort in the unconditional love of his grandmother and his Aunt Betty. Forced to deal with the fallout of his mother's frustration with life and her poor taste in men, Robert shielded himself from his rough childhood with alcohol, introduced to him at the age of five by one of his mother's several boyfriends. The alcohol turned into a habit and stay with him for forty more years! Disturbing yet captivating, Robert spares no detail, no matter how sordid, of his childhood and early teenage experiences—from youthful and sometimes life-threatening exuberance to juvenile romance that shaped his worldview on people and love. Profoundly personal and palpably raw, Asleep(Drifting) is a touching story about the resilience of a child's spirit in the face of extreme physical and mental abuse and highlights the power of personal agency and self-forgiveness on the road to recovery from childhood trauma. “ASLEEP ~ DRIFTING, Is an AMAZING true account of a son who is doing his best to survive his childhood. His so-called “Mother,” Lucinda, is cruel and brutal, to say the least. Such a GREAT read! Bravo to Robert Paul for giving us insight into his life.” –Kathie Kitagawa, Office Manager / Chiropractic Assistant “Robert Paul takes you through a journey that gives you a plethora of emotions. I was sad, scared, happy, and angry for him, and so on. His story pulls you in and has you living his experience right along with him. This book will stay with me for quite some time…. A must-read!” –Barbara Davies, Retired Retail Supervisor / 20 years “I’ve read this amazing book! I can’t wait to read the next two. This is an awesome story of a boy growing up in horrendous circumstances and a man who managed to put aside Everything that happened to him to reach his full potential. Truly an inspiring tale for today’s world.” –Elizabeth Ayers, Author of Historical Westerns and Contemporary Romance

A must-read!" --Barbara Davies, Retired Retail Supervisor "All I can say is that when I started to read the book it was very captivating and interesting that I didn't want to put the book down. It was very sad to read about the things that Robert Paul felt as a child and was heart wrenching to me since I could relate to some of the events. The book took me on a sad, yet magical journey through his life, that was sprinkled with hilarious episodes, which had me laughing out loud to myself. Asleep spoke to me in ways that were so intimate and moving that I was left with so many thoughts about my life's journey.

Book Description
In Robert Paul’s continuing life story, a spirit of adventure is often synonymous with deaf-defying intrigue. Paul’s journey from education to adulthood takes invincibility to the extreme. Adopting a carefree roadmap with no actual goal or plan in mind doesn’t always lead to meaningful discovery. On the contrary, it can lead to self-destructive tendencies, danger, and even death. Add lifelong friends, drugs, alcohol, and wildness into the mix, and trouble abounds. Paul’s life will take you to Tijuana, Long Beach, Vegas, and beyond from one escapade to another. His suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat incidents entertain with humor, sobering moments, and fear. He explores how life can be one long lesson, taking an introspective and retrospective look at youthful folly. Finally, realizing how close he came to his demise, no thanks to his lack of a goal-oriented mindset and his desire for endless fun with childhood friends. Life might deal rotten cards, but it’s a person’s choice to accept them or not. Mistakes teach lessons, and age captures wisdom with an undeniable truth. Paul’s story strives to expose his truths, hoping to influence others’ decisions. If he could have a do-over, what would he change? His answer might surprise you.

Author: Alexander Maksik Publisher: Bond Street Books ISBN: 0385679181 Category : Fiction Languages : en Pages : 189
Book Description
Alexander Maksik's electrifying novel tracks a woman's journey from the horrors of Charles Taylor's Liberia to abject poverty and self-exile on a Greek island, where she must grapple with a haunted past and find a way back into human society. On an island somewhere in the Aegean, Jacqueline, a young Liberian woman, veers between starvation and satiety, between the brutality of her past and the precarious uncertainty of her present in the aftermath of experiences so unspeakable that she prefers homeless numbness to the psychological confrontation she knows is inevitable. Hypnotic, highly sensual, exquisitely written, and extraordinary in its depiction of both pleasure and pain, of excruciating physical and spiritual hungers, A Marker to Measure Drift is a novel about memory, how we live with what we know, and whether and how we go forward, intact and whole, after the ravages of loss. It is beautiful, lacerating, impossible to put down. A breakthrough work from a prodigiously gifted young writer.
