Anatomy of a Medically Abusive Childhood - A Memoir

Candace Ahalse

Summary

    Have you ever been in contact with a medical or Munchausen by proxy abuser? Are you sure? Have you ever been in a traffic accident, a school lockdown, an office lockdown, an infrastructure failure, a fire, or a power outage? Have you ever been burglarized, stalked, falsely accused of a crime, falsely accused of a scandal, or catfished? Have you ever had your property vandalized, your car sabotaged, your property stolen, or your pets stolen? Have you ever been conned, swindled, or taken advantage of? Have you ever gotten food poisoning? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you may have been in contact with a MBP abuser. MBP abusers sometimes engage in a wide range of behaviors that extend far beyond the medical field. Certainly, not all such incidents are evidence of MBP, just like not all illnesses are evidence of MBP, but have you ever sensed that something more was going on in a particular case? Have you ever noticed the same person connected to multiple such incidents?
    In "Anatomy of a Medically Abusive Childhood," Candace Ahalse takes you through one such case - the case of her own childhood.

Jim Lindsay, Chuck Mawhinney

Jim Lindsay's The Sniper reveals, for the first time ever, the full story of the deadliest sniper in Marine Corps history, Chuck Mawhinney, who served in the Vietnam war at age 18—written with his full cooperation and participation.Charles "Chuck" Mawhinney is a United States Marine who holds the Corps' record for the most confirmed sniper kills (and the second most of any US service member in history), having recorded 103 confirmed kills in 16 months during the Vietnam War. He was also the youngest—killing the enemy as a teenager.In 1967, at the age of 18, Mawhinney joined the Marines and began his assent from recruit to the Marine Corps’ deadliest sniper. During his tours—in one of the most dangerous war zones of Vietnam—his character and charisma helped him deal with life and death in a hell hole with other young men a long way from home.After Vietnam, Mawhinney married and settled into his post-war life, raised a family, and was content that no one knew of his accomplishments in war. Then in 1991 he was startled and dismayed when outed by a fellow Marine sniper, Joseph Ward, who spoke of Mawhinney’s number of kills in his book, Dear Mom. Newspapers picked up the story and Mawhinney’s life changed forever. The notoriety troubled him at first, but then he accepted the fame and used the opportunity to train service men and lawmen in the art of long-distance shooting.At last, Chuck's full story is told, including his heroic exploits in battle and the terrible toll that taking a life exerts on a human being.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

River Songs - Moments of Wild...

Steve Duda

River Songs is rich with bracing, authentic, generous stories—writing that revels in language and spirit. Avoiding most of fly fishing's clichés—the romantic elegies, the Moby-Dick-like conquests, the play-by-play detailing a "victory" over a fish—Steve Duda instead offers pieces that breathe lived experience, reveal vulnerabilities, and convey a broad perspective of what it means to have "a long run with a tight crew." Duda is interested in what has been learned out there on the river: what is it about this "ridiculous activity" that connects us to this planet, makes us human, gives us hope? 
 
 
 
River Songs focuses on the in-between moments and the unexpected revelations—awe, fear, frustration, doubt, joy—that are as much a part of fishing as tying knots and chucking flies. Listeners ride along with Duda in battered pickup trucks, fish "between jobs," look longingly at unfished famous rivers while touring with a country-punk band, and wonder how a fishing trip led to getting a tooth pulled while being surrounded by trash-talking friends. They will find beauty, discovery, heartbreak, good dogs, and the wonder of nature within the expanse of Northwest landscapes and beyond.

Ten Hail Marys

Kate Howarth

In Ten Hail Marys, Kate Howarth vividly recalls the first seventeen years of her life in Sydney's slums, suburbs and rural New South Wales, Australia.
Abandoned by her mother as a baby, and then by her volatile grandmother. Kate was 14 when she was sent to live with a neighbour, who barely tolerated her. Kate was taken out of school three days before she was scheduled to take the exams for the Intermediate Certificate, the minimum education required to obtain meaningful employment.
At 15, everything and everyone Kate called family and home was gone.
In January 1966, Kate gave birth to a healthy baby boy at St. Margaret's Home for unwed mothers in Sydney. In the months before and the days after the birth, she resisted treatment that had been deemed tantamount to torture when she steadfastly refused to sign the consent for adoption.
Kate's son, whom she called Adam, was the only family she had left. If they were going to take him, they would have to do so without her consent.
Of the thousands of unwed mothers at the time, Kate became the only unwed mother who could be found who left the institution with her baby. She was only sixteen years old. What inspired such courage and determination?
Ten Hail Marys is a frank, at times funny and incredibly moving true story, told without an ounce of bitterness or self-pity.
More than a memoir of Kate's life struggles, Ten Hail Marys blew the whistle on one of the darkest chapters in Australian social history.
Following publication in 2010, Ten Hail Marys was shortlisted for the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for Indigenous writing and won the Age Non-Fiction Book of the Year 2010 in an open category.
In 2011, Kate gave evidence to the National Senate Inquiry into what is now known as Forced Adoption Practices, which led to changes in adoption laws.
