DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen Tucker Frost ventures out into the wilderness on a hunting expedition with his Grandpa Angus and his older brother Jordan, the main things on his mind are socializing and graduating from high school. But when Grandpa Angus accidentally drops his gun, releasing a bullet into Tucker's neck, Tucker's whole world tumbles into upheaval. When he wakes, he receives the overwhelming news: his spinal cord has been severed. He'll never walk again. He maintains the use of his arms, and can feel everything above his chest, but as for the rest of it... It's gone. So begins a new journey in Tucker's life. Once an ordinary suburban kid, he's suddenly become extraordinary in a way he never could have expected. ROLLING HOME chronicles the months that follow Tucker's injury. It shows Tucker getting to know his first serious girlfriend, Rebecca, while sorting through his feelings regarding his grandfather and his own father, Mike, who's slipping deeper and deeper into the grip of alcoholism. It often seems like his mother, Paisley, is the household's only stable member. Every time Tucker turns around, his dad or Jordan is heading out the door to go somewhere or another. In the meantime, Tucker has to relearn how to use his body - from functional things like taking a shower to larger challenges like getting in and out of a car. Not to mention discovering sex with Rebecca. As ROLLING HOME advances, Tucker meets Kip Cruiser, a famous motorcycle racer who works part-time coaching a murderball team - murderball being a court-based game wherein paralyzed players compete in their wheelchairs, in something of a demolition derby. When Kip recruits Tucker to sign up for murderball, Rebecca grows insecure and possessive. And her feelings only grow more urgent when Tucker meets Kip's friend Brianna. Meanwhile, Tucker's been avoiding Grandpa Angus. Though they're essentially at peace, they haven't had a chance to discuss what happened - not with any real level of depth. When Tucker's dad gets arrested in a bar fight, the family finds itself with a whole new heap of problems. Mike's facing jail-time. Tucker's furious with him. The pair have never been at ease to begin with, and Tucker's injury has only made their problems worse. Will Mike end up being put away? Will Angus and Tucker confront what happened? Will Tucker end up choosing Brianna over Rebecca? Can Kip be the light that guides Tucker through? ROLLING HOME is a story of growth, love, struggle, and renewal. It's about one kid's attempt to find normalcy from within his wheelchair. And it's about every kid's journey to find his or her own truth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom first joining the Royal Navy in 1940 until the end of the campaign against Japan, Tony Ditcham was in the front line of the naval war. After brief service in the battlecruiser Renown off Norway and against the Italians, he went into destroyers and saw action in most European theatres _ against S-boats and aircraft in 'bomb alley' off Britain's East Coast, on Arctic convoys to Russia, and eventually in a flotilla screening the Home Fleet. During the dramatic Battle of the North Cape in December 1943 he was probably the first man to actually see the Scharnhorst and from his position in the gun director of HMS Scorpion enjoyed a grandstand view of the sinking of the great German battleship (his account was so vivid that it formed the basis of the description in the official history). Later his ship operated off the American beaches during D-Day, where two of her sister ships were sunk with heavy loss of life, and he ended the war en route for the British Pacific Fleet and the invasion of Japan.??This incident-packed career is recounted with restraint, plenty of humour and colourful descriptive power _ his account of broaching and almost capsizing in an Arctic winter storm is as good as anything in the literature of the sea. The result makes enthralling reading, and as the surviving veterans rapidly decline in numbers, this may turn out to be one of the last great eyewitness narratives of the naval war.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRolling Shelter is a personal account of Kelly and Rosana Hart's life in two different buses, three vans, two small motor homes, two travel trailers combined into one house, and two cars. Kelly tells stories of how they traveled through Mexico and Guatemala in a small van and then later developed a splendid home on their llama ranch in the mountains of Oregon. This book will inspire you and give you some ideas for how you might take advantage of vehicles to provide shelter in your life. In full color, the book features over 200 photographs and 5 detailed floor plans. With descriptions of how the conversions were accomplished, it is valuable both as an overview of vehicular dwelling and as a construction manual for how you might convert your own. One of the true joys of living in a vehicle is that it can be moved to new and exciting locations with relative ease. If you like to travel, but prefer to have your own bed and your own kitchen, then consider living in a motor home of some sort. The chapters include: "Our First Bus Home" shows the artistic conversion of a school bus parked on the rugged California coast. "Extra Wheels" describes a versatile step van and a Navy radar van used as a film studio. "Van Dwelling" features a Ford Econoline van equipped for travel into remote places and a VW Vanagon camper. "Juniper Ridge" shows how they made a unique home combining two long travel trailers into one home that could accommodate some of their llamas. "Tortuga & CanDo" were both small Dolphin motor homes built on Toyota trucks. "Here & There" was a full scale conversion of a 40 foot inter-city bus in which they traveled around the western United States.
