DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Outsiders meets This Boy's Life, in this coming-of-age memoir about growing up in the Bronx during the 1960s among racial tension, street violence, and trouble at home. Growing up in the 1960s in a troubled Bronx neighborhood, the stoop outside the apartment was a gathering place, a safe haven, and a window to the world beyond home. This small piece of granite real estate holds memories for all New Yorkers and tells a story from decades gone. Within these pages, you’ll see life from a new perspective—through the eyes of a young boy— straight from his Bronx stoop. Stories from the Stoop features seven unforgettable true-life adventures; stories told with humor, grit, and candor that will fill you with hope and remind you that we are all in this together. The author asks himself: How can I overcome the violence on the streets? Will I ever break the chains of being born into my cursed and chaotic family? Am I always going to be an outsider? It was Steve Bernstein's fortuitous and profound friendships—many of which crossed boundaries of race, gender, and religion—that enabled him to navigate these tumultuous questions and develop a hopeful perspective on life. Without his dog, Wolf, Steve would not have survived the wrath of a street gang. On the day Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed, it was Anthony who recognized how dangerous it was for Steve (the only white kid on the basketball court that April evening) to be out shooting hoops. An epic bike trip with Joe breathed life into Steve's dream to be free, a lifelong friendship that only 9/11 could extinguish. Stories from the Stoop is a triumphant and tender coming of age journey that will capture your heart and feed your soul. Steve's voice, spare and street smart, resonates across age and ethnicity, to offer the possibility that life circumstances need not predict destiny. All you have to do is find enough courage, compassion and chutzpah to win out.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKStories from Off the Grid: Tales of an Eccentric Family Stupid Enough to Move to the Modern Frontier By: Linda Jordan In 2017, Linda Jordan and her family traded manicured suburbs for raw land complete with bears, wild turkeys, and a driveway from the depths of hell itself. Living on raw land meant they immediately became their own engineers, electricians, and repairmen. A few years of off-grid life now under their belt, Jordan and her family offer this cautionary tale. Learn from their mistakes. Though it was almost a recipe for disaster, planting city folk in the foothills of a mountain range in rural America has made for a collection of incredible experiences. Fascinating, witty, and utterly original, Stories from Off the Grid is a must-read for any suburbanite who thinks they could survive in the wild.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThrough this book I would like to take you on a journey. It is a journey that I have been on for the past twenty-five years interviewing, questioning, doing therapy and teaching. It has been a remarkable trip into the private lives of people. I am a professional voyeur and I have found that most people are interested in what I hear, what I see and what I do. People want to know about others and they want to watch and learn. In this book I have compiled a collection of stories about some common themes in peoples' lives. In here, you can watch, learn, laugh and cry with me. If you are a voyeur like me then you will love this book. You can start reading at any point. Check out the table of contents and see what strikes you. I cannot know what you are ready to find or need to learn. Perhaps you can just play along and open it up and see where your eyes have taken you. My hope is that you will recognize yourself or others and you will think, feel and see exactly what you stopped here to learn. -Mark S. Benn, Psy.D. Psychologist

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe beauty and barrenness of the southwestern landscape naturallylends itself to the art of storytellers. It is a land of heat and dryness, aland of spirits, a land that is misunderstood by those living along thecoasts. New Stories from the Southwest presents nineteen short stories that appeared in North American periodicals between January and December 2006. Though many of these stories vary by aesthetics, tone, voice, and almost any other craft category one might wish to use, they are nevertheless bound together by at least one factor, which is that the landscape of the region plays a key role in their narratives. They each evoke and explore what it means to exist in thisunique corner of the country. Selected by editor D. Seth Horton, the former fiction editor for the Sonora Review, from a wide cross-section of journals and magazines, and with a foreword by noted writer Ray Gonzalez, New Stories from the Southwest presents a generous sampling of the best of contemporary fiction situated in this often overlooked area of the country. Swallow Press is particularly pleased to publish this wide-ranging collection of stories from both new and established writers. Contributors to New Stories from the Southwest are: - Alan Cheuse - Matt Clark - Lorien Crow - Kathleen De Azvedo - Alan Elyshevitz - Marcela Fuentes - Dennis Fulgoni - Ray Gonzalez - Anna Green - Donald Lucio Hurd - Toni Jensen - Charles Kemnitz - Elmo Lum - Tom McWhorter - S.
