Resurrection tells the story of her ordeal and recovery as well as delving into the psychology of the man who inflicted such unimaginable horrors on her. |
| abby drover: The Healing Power of Self Love Oscar Bamwebaze Bamuhigire, 2009-02 In the field of alcoholism and drug addiction treatment, there have always been questions for which there were no satisfactory answers: Is substance abuse is a problem of discipline or a disease? Why is it that most alcoholics/ drug addicts do not seek for, or receive treatment? Why is it that only 5- 10% of alcoholics/ drug addicts respond to treatment? Why do untreated addicts have a better chance at breaking the bond of addiction than addicts who get treated? Why has the incidence of recovery without the help of formal treatment continued to rise? Are the successes of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A) nothing more than spontaneous remission? Why are some people able to quit their addiction without treatment, while others only get worse after treatment? Why does treatment have a negative effect? Why are some treatment programs more effective than others? Why has the world continued to experience a steady increase in the rate of addiction and self destruction? Why is it that 1 in 2 Americans has a diagnosable mental disorder each year, and 81 Americans commit suicide every day? Why do non-Hispanic blacks bear a disproportionate burden of disease, injury, death, and disability? Why do the most successful treatment programs for addicts have a spiritual component? Why do non white people suffer from a high rate of substance abuse and self destruction? Why does Africa have the highest rate of suicide, poverty, and disease in the world? Why are some treatment programs more effective than others? Etc. In a unique blend of psychology, psychiatry, metaphysics, medicine, orient and western religions, The Healing Power Of Self Love provides answers to these and many more questions. In making its revolutionary contribution to the scientific world, it also explains how addicts can enhance their chances of recovery from addiction through the treatment programs of their choice, by utilizing the ancient tools of discipline, lateral thinking, and insight from the life experiences of the world's greatest leaders. Even though this book was initially designed to meet the needs of alcoholics and drug addicts in treatment, it may be of great value to people who are struggling with other types of addiction, and those who are faced with major obstacles to their self-realization or self actualization. |
| abby drover: When Things Seem Odd Michael Joseph Legare, 2016-01-13 As you will discover by reading this book, the term “stranger danger” is not only misleading to children, it actually does more harm than good. By the constant reminder that a child encounters by media, adults and television programs about never talking to strangers, children are often left confused and powerless of how to deal with the many strangers they come across on a day to day bases. Secondly, this book aims to teach children to become aware of their instincts (feelings of uneasiness, suspicion or otherwise their apprehension) when it is appropriate and important to do so and when it comes to people and situations they encounter as they go about their lives. Not just people of whom they do not know (strangers), but also of people of whom they may already know. Finally, this book is in two parts: The first part are the three short stories of Polly, a fictional character, that describes in detail certain dilemmas she encounters when she becomes lost, first at a grocery store, next at the fair and then in the third story, the close encounter she experiences of nearly being abducted by a stranger. The stories go into detail about the positive aspects that Polly took each time to protect herself in each case scenario. The encounters are based on a realistic chain of circumstances. The second part of this book is aimed towards parents to look at self-protection strategies suggested by some of the world’s most prestigious experts on the subject of child safety and the criminal mind. |

| abby drover: Cass Timberlane Sinclair Lewis, 2022-08-01 Sinclair Lewis's 'Cass Timberlane' is a novel that delves into the intimate dynamics of marriage, the ebbs and flows of social standing, and the tenacity of personal convictions in the face of society's expectations. Written in Lewis's characteristic realist style, the book provides an incisive commentary on mid-20th-century American life, capturing the zeitgeist with its piercing examination of the judiciary, social stratification, and gender roles. Presented here by DigiCat Publishing, this edition is not just a mere reproduction of words but a resurrection of the enduring human narratives that echo Lewis's keen observations and subtle wit in a modern format, fostering continued engagement with a timeless piece of literature. In the literary context, Lewis was renowned for his critical portrayal of American society, and 'Cass Timberlane' followed suit after his Pulitzer Prize-winning 'Arrowsmith' and 'Babbitt', two works that cemented his reputation as a formidable satirist and social commentator. This particular novel emerged from a mature phase in Lewis's career, reflecting both his deepened insight into human nature and his committed critique of the status quo, informed by his experiences and personal contemplations on the changing American landscape. It stands as a testament to his growth as a writer and his unyielding quest to encapsulate the essence of American life and its institutions. This edition of 'Cass Timberlane' is recommended for readers who appreciate the depth of character development and the intricacy of societal dissection present in early 20th-century literature. It offers a compelling exploration of the intricacies of law, love, and legacy, appealing to both aficionados of historical fiction and those who seek a profound understanding of the period's cultural undercurrents. The modern republishing by DigiCat invigorates Lewis's profound work, ensuring that its relevance endures and its lessons continue to resonate with contemporary readers. Engage with this classic, and allow Sinclair Lewis to guide you through a rich and complex tapestry of American life, as pertinent today as it was in its original era. |

| abby drover: From the Mouth of the Monster Robert Mladinich, 2002-02-10 This true crime book in the vein of The Stranger Beside Me follows the relationship between a police officer and one of New York City’s most infamous serial killers. This is the riveting true story of Joel Rifkin—the Long Islander convicted of savagely murdering seventeen young women—as told by Rifkin to Robert Mladinich. The two met as journalism students in 1979; more than two decades later, the NYPD detective visited Rifkin in prison to examine what both had made of their lives. In a chilling series of exchanges, Rifkin bared his soul to Mladinich, chronicling his lost years: the missed opportunities, the failed relationships, and the terrible details behind his killings. But Mladinich probed deeper, forcing Rifkin to confront the horrifying nature of his crimes. Drawn from interviews with Rifkin and his mother, and conversations with acquaintances and professionals who encountered him, From the Mouth of the Monster is a chilling study of the possible evil within us all. |
| abby drover: A Curse Dark as Gold Elizabeth C. Bunce, 2010-05-19 “In this slow-simmering but rewarding retelling, first-novelist Bunce presents an innovative interpretation of Rumpelstiltskin.” —Horn Book Winner of the William C. Morris Award for a Young Adult Debut An ALA Best Book for Young Adults A Smithsonian Notable Book An Oprah’s Book Club Kids’ Reading List Teen Selection The gold thread promises Charlotte Miller a chance to save her family’s beloved woolen mill. It promises a future for her sister, jobs for her townsfolk, security against her grasping uncle—maybe even true love. To get the thread, Charlotte must strike a bargain with its maker, the mysterious Jack Spinner. But the gleam of gold conjures a shadowy past—secrets ensnaring generations of Millers. And Charlotte’s mill, her family, her love—what do those matter to a stranger who can spin straw into gold? This is an award-winning and wholly original retelling of “Rumplestiltskin.” “Set in a rural valley in the late 1700s, this reworking of the ‘Rumplestiltskin’ story includes ghosts, witchcraft, elements of Georgian society, and much earlier folk magic in the guise of a novel of manners.” —School Library Journal “A Curse Dark as Gold beats the hell out of any fantasy novel I’ve read this year. Her heroine/narrator is immensely appealing; the atmosphere of a world on the cusp of the Industrial Revolution is completely believable; and the suspense of the story builds so craftily that I started taking notes on just how she does it.” —Peter S. Beagle, World Fantasy Award-winning author “An intelligent, original, and interesting new take on an old fairy tale, and a marvelous debut novel.” —Teen Book Review |
