Synopsis

"Father and Son: A Study of Two Temperaments" by Edmund Gosse is a memoir, initially published anonymously. The book describes Edmund's early years in an exceptionally devout Plymouth Brethren home. The book focuses on the relationship between a stern, religious father who rejects the new evolutionary theories of his scientific colleague Charles Darwin and the son's gradual coming of age and rejection of his father's fundamentalist religion. While often comical, the book is relatable to children and parents around the world who feel as though they and their loved ones seem to come from different worlds.

    In the 1970s and early ‘80s, southern California was shocked when dead boys began turning up with disturbing regularity alongside some of the picturesque state’s most heavily traveled freeways.Victims of sadistic torture, the dead boys and young men had been raped and strangled, and their untimely deaths were eventually attributed to the Freeway Killer, an elusive psychopath whose trail of death would go down in California history as one of the worst true crime stories in the country.While the Freeway Killer ultimately turned out to be three different men, one of them was truck driver William Bonin, one of the most prolific and sadistic among American serial killers. Bonin usually preferred to work with an accomplice, and the lust killer and his cronies brutally raped and tortured his victims – Bonin loved the sounds of their screams – before strangling them and dumping them on the side of the road like garbage.Bonin confessed to committing 21 murders in the span of just a year, although many experts believe he was responsible for the deaths of many more missing young men.He was executed in 1996, and in this detailed serial killer biography, you’ll learn the background that might offer some understanding of what makes a man go off the rails and become a deranged lust killer.Of course, spine-tingling story of a man whose youngest victim was a 12-year-old who was waiting for a bus to take him to Disneyland might be one that causes you to sleep with the lights on for weeks after turning the final gruesome page.

    Dr. Schott also pulls back the curtain on what it’s really like to be a veterinarian. Do some vet students faint at the sight of blood? (Yes.) Is it easier for vets to bring their own pets in for procedures? (No.) Did the pandemic change veterinary practice? (Yes, and how.)

    Anthony James should have been dead ten times over. Once being a curious boy with a big heart, no vision and a lack of direction that kept him going in circles and eventually spiraling completely out of control. 
    Knowing the Lord at a young age was his saving grace. In the most harrowing situations he faced while wondering out on the streets, he leaned of God to keep him. Through miracle after miracle, that is exactly what God did. He kept him through rebellion, drug addiction, incarceration and difficult relationships to become the successful Chaplain and business owner that he is today. 
    Each and every day Mr. James counts his blessings not only to be alive, but to have a sound mind and the energy and strength to use all he has learned to impact the lives of others. 
    His prayer is that this book will help you overcome fear and the limitations life hands you in order to achieve your goals and dreams in life. Through his powerful stories, this book will lead you to a place to take full responsibility for your choices and know that you can be the author of your own destiny at any time. Get ready to be opened up to new dimensions of success and knowing who you are and get to know and see your true self instead of looking at other people’s lives.
